Why? Because you live in a bubble and it’s very, very clearly showing in your logic (or lack thereof).

200 miles is not a road trip...

No. The L-platform rear suspension shared some parts with the CURRENT GEN (W211); it was NOT based off the PREVIOUS GEN any more so than the W211 was also...

1st: “Based-on” =/= “identical.” Motor Trend even goes as far as to mention some of the easier-to-notice differences.

Duh!

Nope, because they never did.

Not to mention cheese is definitely a thing and people seem to enjoy it...

Hi, Millennial here (wow, that hurts just saying it)... You don’t what to bring up facts in your arguments. Millennials do not deal in facts, by and large. Millennials deal in emotions, primary. Boomers are dumb and overly trusting of “institutions” and “experts”, but Millennials (by-and-large) have swung too far the…

IMO, UBI is too easy to exploit. If we all have something, we all have nothing... I can think of far too many cases where things like rent, food costs, etc. would jump if everyone suddenly got more cash in their pockets. And what would that accomplish? Nothing... We’d all have more money, but we wouldn’t be able to do…

Thank you for the good discussion by the way - on a Kinja site, of all places! I think we agree on this topic much more than we disagree.

Yes, they can be good - when they are balanced with rational thought...

Yes, it’s good that we can specialize in things we are good at now, but the problem with completely isolating everyone from each other is that our perspectives become very, very narrow.

Yep - this is the correct approach. See my comment above about making the “sales” side of the business become more of a show-case, with more show-&-tell and hands-on learning about the products. Fewer, but larger dealers with better selections, better-trained staffs, and less dealer-to-dealer conflicts...

5th Gear:

This is a bit funny, but mostly sad. We were there for a while, at least. The Founders certainly worked in such terms... I would argue that we’ve drifted further and further away since the late 1800s, when industrialization took over and those who were too late or too lazy to make a name for themselves found that they…

There are certainly assholes and people who are racists everywhere (and of all colors), but there are certainly more here in the Midwest than in the South.

I wonder what these same people would have to say about the “SafetyTec” package on the 2015+ Chrysler 200?

And most people who drink whiskey say that makes them feel warmer, too...

GM ran the numbers alright, especially the $$$$$! They found that the tech they already owned (and helped to develop) and the engine they already had were going to be cheaper to use...

No.
