Not only that, but two sentences later the article states that GM is struggling to sell trucks. They can’t lose money on trucks that weren’t built if they weren’t going to sell.

I feel like I’m reading the manifesto of a ska-apologist.
The other 32.7% probability is that it’s David Tracy, driving something he found by sorting Craigslist by Rusty-high.
The statement should be “An Alpine, already in the shop ?”
The Civic Si does have one thing going for it that the USDM CLA didn’t, though
It looks like they drove through a crowded nightclub in 1989.
