And, the way things are going, Fiat Chrysler Peugeot will be part of Volkswagen soon enough, anyway. 

Well, that’s a start, at least. I’ll get excited when they shrink the Clubman back down to a reasonable length and get rid of the back doors. 

Boomers don’t buy Cadillac though, that's how they got into trouble in the first place, when the WWII and Korean war vets started dying off. Cadillac is on its 3rd generation of irrelevance 

Man, between this and the Gladiator, Jeep is really trying hard to make me buy a light truck.

Compared to the original, it was a let down, but compared to a lot of what's come since, it's pretty good. Definitely had its moments - Venkman's interview with the lady who had a one night stand with an extraterrestrial at a Holiday Inn still makes me laugh every time I see it.

A wizard did it

Ancient 1880s era ICE technology vs modern 1890s era EV technology

Most ICE cars barely need a grille, they tend to get most of their air down low, under the bumper. While nobody's doing anything as egregious as the old Sebring Coupe, a lot of modern grilles are largely fake as it is.

They should just sell naming rights to them - Deutsche Post Corner, Banco Santander Corner, Emirates Airlines Corner, etc. 

I was hoping they would live to one day regret shutting down car assembly in Australia, but I don't think that day's ever coming, either.

This is like when everyone was getting all sad and nostalgic about Volkswagen killing the Beetle, and I got all confused, because I thought that already happened 16 years ago.

I would prefer still having one, too. A lot of bands I listen to still distribute primarily or exclusively on CD, so it would be nice to be able to listen to a new album right away, instead of having to go home and copy it to a thumb drive.

Thats what happened to the $9990 Versa several years ago. Yeah, Nissan would build them, if a dealer ordered one, but no dealer did. And that price was excluding destination charge and extra dealer fees anyway.

Dealers will order ONE, and print the VIN in small print underneath the picture and big price number on the ad. Once it sells, that’s it for the quarter, and customers that come in to ask about it will be shown an optioned up alternative for only $50 a month more, or given the choice of waiting 6 months for another…

Does this mean we'll soon be able to buy a RWD 6 passenger sedan with a straight 6, 3 on the tree, dog dish hubcaps, vinyl bench seats, rubber floor mats, no radio or A/c, and manual everything for $15,000?

Cassette players went out with the Lexus SC like 8-9 years ago, CD players are already nearly extinct - my last two cars didn't come with one.

Some of it was justified - the show did seem to get into a repetitive arc the first few seasons - find a creative new application for Richard’s algorithm, raise money, taste success, screw it up and wind up back where they started. It was after his departure when they finally started to break out of that. Of course,…

Automakers do that a lot. Make cloth seats feel cheap and scratchy so people upgrade to leather, blank off switch and fog light openings with black plastic so people buy extra options.

Giant wheels have always seemed to be like a lazy way for designers to add visual interest without spending a lot of time working with the sheet metal down the sides, or without the manufacturer having to offer interesting color options.

Id rather have a bumper designed in such a way that no damage occurs to either itself or the body in a low speed impact
