Please tell that to Sergio........

Buick makes a ton of money for GM in China, which is now the largest and fastest growing car market. Killing Buick would be financial malpractice.

Because badge-engineering worked so well until 2008

I actually think it make sense for GM to stop selling most of their sedans in the US. Very few of them sell well and it’s a competitive shrinking market. Yes gas will go up more in the future but new CUVs are pretty fuel efficient so I don’t know that it move people back into sedans and much as into smaller crossovers.

Except in January, the US DoJ did in fact indict 6 VW executives, and one of them was arrested as he somehow thought it was smart to take a vacation in the US. The other five are unlikely to be extradited to the US - but they also won’t be able to travel here, or to any other country that would extradite them (which,…

I think it would be the opposite. 1 liter Foci and Fiestas, Sparks and Sonics, and nothing from FCA since they gave up on small cars. Sure they’re not as small as kei cars, but they are compact and efficient.

Electrical fire is the best-smelling fire.

Neutral: Let’s pretend for a hot second here that we all have Lamborghini money. Would you buy an electric Lamborghini? Like a Lamborghini Scintilla or something. It would look just as aggressive and badass, it would just be electric. Would you?

2nd Gear: Unpopular view but uh this was what TPP was for.

They’ll do one better: non-rechargeable battery packs. $15,000 every 200 miles.

Can Lamborghini manage to maintain their exotic, Italian, supercar heritage by creating an electric motor that needs $15,000 services every 2,000 miles?

Here’s a courtroom sketch artist’s rendition of the VW proceedings:

2nd Gear: Feds follow up an report that 1.8 Trillion miles traveled while cell phone is in use. No action is taken.

No, I have Ford Sync. If it doesn’t work for me most of the time, I can only imagine how it would work for someone hacking it.

Go on...

And how do you identify a guy with a helmet on from 100 feet away?

What did he destroy, and how do you trespass on public land?

What could possibly go wrong?
