Counterpoint: With that mindset, you will hold billion dollar corporations responsible for almost anything humans do. Bullet manufacture would have lawsuits for their bullets killing someone, Television manufactures would have lawsuits for making people fat because they watch 5 hours of TV every day and the list could…

They are selling more cars, but are heavily discounting them. When you see auto manufactures offering 0% financing for 96 months, they have to pay the lender the interest it would normally cost for the to borrow/buy that money themselves. So if your sales keep increasing, you end up paying a lot more in incentives…

There is a difference between liking a vehicle and having respect for a company. As much as I like their cars, if I can’t trust the company anymore, why buy one?

Not exactly.... If you have a court agreement and the owner followed every step an procedure for the buy back, VW has no right to make him wait. He had a scheduled date and no real reason to cancel it.

Financially, if you look at buying either of them for long term, and assuming there are no long term reliability issues, the Honda will probably still fetch you a larger resale value in 8-9 years compared to the Pacifica. This alone allows you to at least trade out of the vehicle much sooner if ever required and in a…

If you are really worried about this, I suggest looking at leasing. Most manufactures that offer leasing have their own GAP insurance built in. As others have mentioned, GAP is usually only good for the first 4-5 years of the loan and only covers the vehicles depreciation loss. After the Lease is done you can…

There is a reason why the majority of luxury cars are leased. Not because the buyers can’t afford it, but because it is actually a smarter way to invest your money. Paying cash or getting a loan means you take all of the risk of how that care will depreciate. With a lease, all the risk is in the hands of the lender.

Why shouldn’t it decide for you? Who’s to say that if you were in control of the vehicle in that same scenario, you wouldn’t have swerve out of the way out of pure instinct?

This whole document is hilarious. It’s riddled with so any witty comments. My favorite so far has to be, “The parties disagree over what to call this auto tinkerer’s Taj Mahal.” and obviously the Simpson’s quote.

I’ve worked in the past at the Canadian head office for Honda. There was no separate parking lot for competitor brands. They did provide closer parking for associates who carpooled together or had hybrid/electric vehicles. Even the president didn’t have a reserved parking.
