Some in Detroit believe that the huge difference has to do with currency manipulation, as the weaker yen makes exports from Japan cheaper in the US and lines the pockets of Toyota and other Japanese automakers. But the Big Three still pay more for labor (even though GM is paying $11 billion less than 10 years ago)…

Makes you wonder who's profiting from the speculation.

Maybe this wouldn't work everywhere, but in the right setting a self driving car would be perfect for mail delivery. All it'd have to do is follow the lines of the street and stop at mailboxes.

Third row seats, mid bucket seats, mid car infotainment. It's a van. You're not fooling anyone.

That sounds like quite the racket.

Cannot un-see color match...

The way prices are spiking, I wouldn't hold your breath. (sorry to be a debbie downer)

It's amazing the lengths we'll go through to lightweight a car, but people are a significant addition to that overall weight. I'm carrying an extra 30 or so lbs. ;)
