Northrup is near DC for lobbying and government purposes. Toyota have also stated their reasons. True, CA isn't business friendly, but for whatever fucking reason, people still come here and many companies still start up here.

The automotive world needs more Alan Roger Mullalys.

CA isn't even in the top 10 for insurance fraud rates. Florida is #1.

im talking about first glances.

787s in pictures have deceptive proportions. If it wasn't for the 787- specific "Gold Line" livery, I'd probably mistake it for a passing 737.

Yeah, considering their track record and respect among pilots, the jokes are getting old.

Looks like one minivan got 2 tires flattened by the debris, and the other one got its front end damaged.

The Chinese aren't that far off form Americans. They like to flaunt their cars, even in bad taste:

These are normalized against the entire population of vehicles out there. My wife has a 2011 GTI, and it's rated poor based on the fuel pump that occasionally cuts off and stalls the car when idle. For the life of us, we can't seem to figure out when it'll happen.

When we were looking at 2010/2011 Jetta SW TDIs w/ Nav, they were around 30-31k. wife walked away with a GTI Autobahn DSG @ 31k.

I definitely wouldn't mind paying 30-36k for a fully loaded (with 4Motion, Parking, DCC, full auto climate) example.

Bitch about the price, but I don't think you'll find many alternatives…

Because Mountain View!

So, basically a good old fashioned Texas Pissing contest

On the flip side, they bought one of these....

on the flip side, starting China Jeep production would probably improve FCA quality rankings

This is what totally gets me. I've been looking at cars for a replacement.

individuals are not companies and don't think only and act on the bottom line. Many are SoCal natives, and probably would've moved to Texas years ago if that appealed to them.

I'll hold onto my obxt for a bit longer, but it might be my last Subaru. FUCK YOU SOA. BRING THE FUCKING LEVORG OVER.

My parents rock TWO of these:

wagons galore!

we were looking at TDI wagon fully optioned in 2010-2011, and as quoted 29-30k fully loaded before TTL.
