  1. For Autoline's look at what may happen under a Trump presidency, listen to the first minute. https://www.autoline.tv/daily/ad-3930-toyotas-unique-inventory-strategy-trumps-likely-impact-on-auto-industry-xpeng-develops-new-erev-system/
  2. Elon has already said that if the CT flops, they'd bring out a more conventional pickup.
  3. If you believe the Volkswagon CFO, VW has one or two years to turn things around. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/volkswagen-cfo-says-one-maybe-two-years-left-to-turn-vw-brand-around-reuters/ar-AA1qbaXr?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds
  4. What controversy? I find it interesting that this topic hasn't even been mentioned in either of the Detroit newspapers, which love to cover this type of stuff. It's only a big deal to a handful of people on BON.
  5. Come on now, we all know Lincoln paid Motor Trend a lot of $$$$ to be SUV of the year. At least that's what we say when another brand wins vehicle of the year of some sort.
  6. You're absolutely right, and lordy, do we have short memories. I remember the smugness the Big 3 had when Japanese cars first appeared in the U.S. in the 60's/70's. Rice-burners they were called, and nobody is going to buy them. Well, we all know what happened there. Ditto with the Koreans in the 80's. And now the Chinese are threatening to take over the automotive world and, again, that same smugness has reared its ignorant head. Will we ever learn? At least Farley has enough guts to say the Chinese can build a pretty good car. Only the uninformed can argue with this.
  7. I'm not in the market for a new vehicle, but if I was, I could be tempted by this price.
  8. I doubt it. The Jeep Wrangler has never scored very well on most quality surveys, yet people line up to buy them. Another "must have" vehicle.
  9. Or how about Walter P. Chrysler's great-grandson? https://www.motor1.com/news/731494/heir-buy-chrylser-dodge-stellantis/
  10. The Outer Banks model is pretty popular here in Northern Michigan. Our BS is an Outer Banks.
  11. My observations too. We have the 1.5L 3-cylinder in our Bronco Sport. I marvel at how smooth it is at idle. The balance shaft they included works quite well.
  12. But GM has totally missed out on the current hybrid sales boom. As EV sales haven't performed as expected, hybrid sales have exploded. And GM doesn't offer one hybrid. Ford, Toyota, etc. offer several. GM is scrambling now to get back in the hybrid game, but they're years behind other OEM's.
  13. Says the guy who's selling a Hummer EV for $100,000 and Silverado EV pickup for $96,500.
