RichardJensen Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I find the organization of that chart to be incredibly offensive, arrogant, and suggestive of FCA's impending doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I find the organization of that chart to be incredibly offensive, arrogant, and suggestive of FCA's impending doom. "Let's organize the brands on the chart, starting with the one receiving the highest amount of investment going into new product development. Go down from there."

sullynd Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 19K on the Wrangler. That's just about Corolla / Focus territory. And they have to turn a decent profit on those too. The one I was considering before I bought my Edge was pretty darn expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHorse Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 And they have to turn a decent profit on those too. The one I was considering before I bought my Edge was pretty darn expensive. Wrangler in general is overpriced now due to its increased popularity. In 2008 I bought an X model for 18 grand with an automatic. You can't get in a base level Wrangler for less than about 25 now. I understand they have the new engine and all that but just not going down that road again. I'd rather have a 4X4 pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the market thought the Wrangler was "overpriced," they likely wouldn't be selling in this volume. However, in your opinion they might be priced higher than you think they're worth.

All I see is a couple of guys that are going to follow me all over this forum and try to start arguments. I'm well aware that when I say it's overpriced that I am refering to what I would be willing to pay for it just as anyone who makes that statement is aware of that.

If only I would join the "Ford is Great! Everyone else sucks!" bandwagon that everyone else around here is on than I would be okay right? But so sorry, I prefer the real world.

BlackHorse Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 You're getting closer and closer to taking a vacation, BH. Why? Because I happen to think that Ford is a good brand that makes some good products and so are a number of other brands? Because I think that there is no such thing as "the best" brand or "better than all the rest" brand? You go ahead Richard I couldn't care less pal.

I've bolded the especially insulting parts, in case it's not clear to you. BTW: Here's a piece of advice--when just about everyone else on the forum thinks you're causing a problem, you're causing a problem.

RichardJensen Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Nope it got started rolling down hill before that Richard. You have a track record of posting sweeping generalizations here, and then ridiculing anyone who disagrees with you. I refer to your topic title: "Gawker Proves Me Right Again ", and your first post includes this generalization: "the gawker website articles are authored entirely by douchebag hipsters" Other examples include: "The car sucks just because it does", "If the car was priced around 20 to 22K it would be appropriately priced for its performance level", etc. So, when you say that such-and-such a car is overpriced, it is perfectly valid, especially given the context of your posts from earlier today, for PD to question whether you're aware that "overpriced" is hardly a supportable claim based on external evidence. -- Could he have been more polite in so doing? Quite likely. Did you *choose* to escalate the situation? You did indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite likely. Did you *choose* to escalate the situation? You did indeed. lol This is a sweeping generalization. You wonder if there are still people at GM who think: "The only reason why they're buying (X) from (Y) is because they can't buy an (X) from (Chevy/Cadillac)" Guess who posted that "Richard"? This is a sweeping generalization. I don't wonder at all. These are the same folks who don't think GMC buyers would buy a virtually identical truck with a Chevy badge. A sweeping generalization from the other moderator here, akirby. A VW or Audi diesel buyer is a VW or Audi buyer first. Most would not buy a diesel from another mfr. Another broad sweeping generalization from our old friend akirby. Exactly. They're not just Diesel fans, they're German vehicle fans. Another gneraliztion from you. Plenty of customers who buy or bought German cars later go on to buy domestic brands and vice versa. That is of course unless you have some proof that once someone buys a german vehicle they never buy anything else. I have a good friend who is a former VW owner that would argue that point with you. The diesel Cruze is also expensive. Quick, lets get premier to go edcuate that man that its only expensive to him and the rest of the world disagrees with him. All of these examples are from one thread. I could go over just about every thread on this forum and find similar examples. If you're going to "lecture" someone about making sweeping statements I certainly am not going to be alone in the audience and let us not forget to take your own advice. I just wanted to add that on one thing you are absolutely right Richard. There is too much contension and it's not worth everyone getting upset about. So I'll go ahead and quit posting here and thus end this bickering. Hope that works out good for you guys.
