I’d give Nissan an exemption. I just want to see how long they can sell the 1997 Frontier as a new model.

Nissan? Didn’t they use to be a car company?

I absolutely loved The Onion’s Biden bits.  A few more years of those is an excellent reason to vote for him.

DING DING DING we have a wiener.

Nissan says Hi.

“Neutral: If you were in charge of our regulatory landscape, What Would Your American Auto Industry Look Like?”

It’s stacking up to be my next vehicle. I’ve put 15k on my Volvo since I got it in January of ‘19. We closed our global corporate offices so I’m WFH full time now with occasional meetings in Metro Atlanta.

Chinese “car guy” here, grew up in China during car industry boom.

Many of our problems are the direct result of the terrible leadership we’ve endured over the past 4 years and hopefully, that’s about to change.

“They decided to take off the Mercedes badge because they were afraid that people would see that and think we were spending too much money.”

Yesterday CNBC ran an article from a “wealth manager/strategist” and he said that $400k income is only middle class in major metro areas and that those families are driving a Highlander. So yes, I am not rich enough for a MB if they’re not...

True, but everyone expects a Land Cruiser to be ultra-capable, whereas hardly anyone even knows what an LX is. Plus, there’s something hilarious and absurd about a Land Cruiser with a Lexus interior. Personally I’d prefer an LX just for the lulz.

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing if things don’t work out for the lardacious orange one in his quest for another term, that his purchased and imported “genius visa” bride, will be divorcing him faster than a cat leaves a gun fight. So, perhaps Torch will have the opportunity to assume the “worst” mantle fairly soon.

I was going to make a “he bought her fair and square” joke but given his history of, ahem, stiffing contractors I’m pretty sure the checks never clearing are why she’s perpetually angry.

Gotta love their commitment to the free market!

Escalated? Where ya been for the last 40 years? :)

You know what’s nuts about this is that there was some noise a few weeks ago about Rivian relocating a lot of people to California from the Michigan office. This could prompt them to pull up stakes here entirely. 

OMG, Ypsilantian here and I wish you were wrong. Nugent is such a total piece of shit.

Live here. Agree. Southeast Michigan only sensible part. The rest of the state worships Governor Ted Nugent.

So now Rivian has to go through the hassle to sue Michigan, Michigan gets to spend taxpayer money defending a losing lawsuit, and Rivian will eventually get to sell cars there. What a fucking dipshit state.
