Simple.  Audi was committing an act of fraud and GM tells you about skip shift in the owners manual. Different, very.

Yeah, but that was then. We are so much better today with all the spacey stuff. You have to go back to 1999 for NASAs last Mars failure.

Reliably?

Also by building these cars in Mexico, Ford can ship them tariff free to Latin America. Mexico has a free trade deals with South Americas largest car markets.

10 years? It didn’t take Nissan, Hyundai, Volkswagen that long to build their US manufacturing plants.

How can you have preventative maintenance on something that is brand new. Which was BP’s case.

You are aware that over the past few years America has been increasing cooperation with India, especially in the area of military warfare. Both India and the US are aware of their shared interest vis a vis China.

Um, when the US proclaimed the Monroe Doctrine the US couldn’t actually back up their words with force. America had a tiny Navy and no standing army. The British were the actual ones who gave it teeth with their largest in the world Navy. America just talked a good game.

Except slavery and being dumb, the same attributes can be said of Australians or large swaths of Asia, and you need more to be imperialist. Such as taking swaths of land on the other side of the world.

Cadillac is equivalent to a small British cash strapped company owned by a Malaysian state owned car company?

It actually makes more since for a car company to sell vehicles in those segments people want to buy. And 2 door cars not named Corvette don’t sell that well in America.

The new vehicles in Cadillac’s lineup was previewed the last time Cadillac presented it’s future plans. The only new information is the continuation of the XTS and a possible flagship SUV.

Looks nice.

No side protections because that would cost money. The American trucking industry isn’t known for applying rudimentary safety systems volunteerily. There isn’t a good uniform standard for protection from under riding the trailer from a rear collision.

Johan De Nysschen worked at Audi of America, not in Ingolstadt. He didn’t get to change the name at Audi so that’s when he did it at Infiniti and Cadillac.

The option to not use it also exist.

The CT6 is a big imposing full size Cadillac. A car that Cadillac has been missing from its lineup with the last of the 1996 Fleetwoods. The only way the car is a tweener is with price.

You are so right with the Tercel. I see so many of those here around Nashville. Seeing 4 on the street has been common.

I can only image the amount of young sexy Europeans who died there at the hands of a Leatherface, Norman Bates or a big knife welding psycopath ( like the girl from Haute Tension).

I don’t see how an average American could fit in there.
