Except they aren’t made of steel. They are made of cast iron.

Canada is almost as armed as the US. Sure there are restrictions on some weapons, but to just say “GUNS” is ignorant. We’re finding now that “terrorists” in Europe don’t even need guns to kill a dozen people, they just drive into crowd. People (read: Men) who want to kill a bunch of people are going to find a way to…

You mean like the Corvette since 1953?

Are you on drugs?

This is just bunch of reasons why I’d still rather have a ZL-1 1LE.

It would also be interesting to see State police stops vs Local police stops. State police being recruited trained centrally and then dispatched to different state areas, vs local cops who are typically locals, less trained and work where they live.

COTD!

Whether you’re GM direct or another supplier like me. Yeah it sucks, especially if you amortized something on volumes like development costs or tooling. Suppliers will never recover their investment, neither will GM. I mean if you’re going to build a super low volume car at least build a cool one.

I know, but the CT6 is built in DHAM and Jinqiao. The original volume for this program was 156K / year. 66K here and 87K in China. They sold 9169 in the US last year and about 5100 in China. Why they tooled up in two locations is beyond me. I feel bad for the suppliers who have capital tied up in this recto-cranial…

Why such a low volume (under-performing) loss leader is produced in two locations only Johan de Nysschen can answer.

Fairly certain this one is made in China. Could be wrong. Something bothers me about the idea of Cadillac made in China for the US market.

Neutral: No, the model 3 will kill Tesla.

You forgot someone:

To save money in the aftermarket a lot of times the aftermarket product is just excess re-boxed OE product.

Here’s my policy on replacement parts:

Yep, that’s a Jounce Bumper. Funny enough I work for a Tier 1 supplier that makes these things and even today some still look like KONGs but they are made of different material. Jounce bumpers today are typically made from MicroCellular Urethane, something you wouldn’t want your doggo chewing on. Also years ago we…

A V8...

I can’t say for certain as E2SC Malibu is produced both here and in China, but considering the Cruze is global as well, i don’t see why they chose to make the Malibu more uglier.
