To this point: WSJ reported that average line pay in 2011 when the plant opened was $14.50. Which also happened to be starting wages.

They aren't looking to increase staffing by any significant number elsewhere. The odds of them paying more than entry level for anything but a very small number of these jobs are essentially nil.

Starting is $14.50...

And that's an absolutely fair point.

Only problem is that the vast majority don't look at their cable (or even if they do, they don't know what they're looking for), and then they're a rolling safety hazard, particularly for people behind them in traffic...

The state of Tennessee is offering tax breaks, staff training, free land and infrastructure upgrades worth about $300 million in total, giving it a clear edge over Puebla, Mexico, daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung cited company sources as saying.

Here's an interesting one from Reuters this morning, Hyundai tried to switch to aluminum for its Genesis/K900 sedan but Hyundai is aligned with Hyundai Steel and it was pricey so they didn't do it.

We're definitely still in the "Gets worse before it gets better" stage.

This (except in gold) plus lots and lots of practice.

That's an absurd claim.

To be fair, the new VIN number had been issued prior to him buying the car. How much should he be expected to double check the VIN every time he sees it?

You could probably add most of Cadillac's lineup to this.

And I'll add that when I'm in the road, I *never* use any iPod or any device like that. You need to be aware of your surroundings. Nor do I ever run on busy roads.

Here's a brief explanation from me - around here, many owners fail to trim trees over sidewalks and the sidewalks are often uneven. If you run on them, you might as well be trying to run through a jungle without tripping over all sorts of obstacles in your way. Step out into the street, though, and the city insures…

I don't know of any "hipster bike snob" who would defend this guy.

You know, after all the claims we saw about the Mustang looking like a Fusion or a Camaro, I can't help but think it actually looks more like this than either of those, at least from the side...

In every way but looks, I would absolutely agree that it is a step up. Not that the E-series was a looker, but I just find this thing that ugly. :)

Yeah, well someone has to be below average, and hence, poor. This isn't Lake Wobegon. Not all children are above average. :)

The rankings are done relative to other vehicles of the same age and mileage, not all vehicles on the road.

Inoffensive? This thing is just ugly, IMO.
