Nearly 3/4 of their sales are Macan/Cayenne/Panamera, doesn't seem that crazy a target

You realize that a lot of people who produce things that get bought all over the world are quarantined and can’t leave their house right? There isn’t an overreaction, the supply chain is stopping because people can’t go to work. 

Nothing. I’d just sit around until the golden parachute kicks in and then bail. For goodness sake, how many final last chances does Harley get? Just let them, and their whole poisonous cult, die.

You’ll notice on the spreadsheet that, at 72,384 miles and 115,362 miles, the air conditioning compressor had to be replaced. “AC compressors are one that...we realized early on, was that they are not designed to be used around the clock,” Sonnad told me, pointing out that this Model X’s AC was in use pretty much

It does but this is about the PRINCIPLE 

“Winning” the LeMans is referred to winning the overall race, i.e. placing 1st. Ford won its class in 2016 against a dealership-backed non-factory team. Just hype and nothing else.

Angel Eyes- Gone.

Nice Kia!

I still don’t understand why a company would throw away 80+ years of brand equity. To be ‘edgy’ and push styling in a new direction?

Now now, I’m pretty sure he still owes all of us an apology.

Is COTD still a thing? Also hard to believe that design is that old, but I genuinely loved most of his designs.

We all owe Chris Bangle an apology. 

I will not purchase a vehicle with a screen in the middle of the dashboard, I will not purchase a vehicle with an automatic transmission, and I cannot purchase a vehicle with an OTD of much more than $25k.

What was Tesla profit for 2019? 6.7B? No?

This. Reminds me of this hilarious display of how out of touch people can be with reality.

Why the hate for the screen? You can get quite a few vehicles with a manual transmission for under $25k. Nothing wrong with hooking up Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and most of the screens are build pretty solid.

Neutral: Did you personally decide against upgrading to a new car? What stopped you from buying?
