    Commuter car supreme now!

    Hopefully my Trailblazer SS will become collectible.
  3. G. David Felt
    Such sad stats for this version of a Trailblazer compared to the last version. This is NOT your SS of yore that is for sure.

    Awesome 3 Amigo's! @Drew Dowdell Is that a Trumpet I see in the background? If so, what brand and who plays? Grew up playing trumpet and piano focused on Jazz all the way till college. Then my daughter took the trumpet and piano over.

    Really you have solid hard facts to back this up before the company actually releases their sales numbers?
  6. G. David Felt
    Be interesting to see MB reported numbers compared to BMW. If they are down again, as they have been doing pretty much all year, I would say they are in a slump and needs some major mojo change to get going again.

    Interesting read on the current state of the global economy. http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnmauldin/2019/12/03/we-are-on-the-brink-of-the-second-great-depression/ We Could Be Nearing The Second Great Depression - Forbes

    The money machine continues to march along even with a small down turn in sales. WOW, that is some sales numbers.

    I wonder how long Mazda will be able to stay independent before having to merge with someone? ?
  10. G. David Felt
    OUCH, someone needs to pressure wash the mold off their line up and get some style mojo back into it.

    Solid sales year and yet their CUV sales are up and car sales are down but only a little. Not surprised since not much choices from the American auto companies.
  12. G. David Felt
    Solid sales, but seems to be following everyone else with car sales down, CUV sales up.
  13. G. David Felt
    Nice solid sales gain. The wife saw one of the sedans, not sure which model but she thought it was an aston martin due to the wings of the logo. She liked the looks.
  14. G. David Felt
    WOW, What a looker and I like the updates to the Power Train options too.
  15. G. David Felt
    WOW ? Such a soft voice for being so young.

    @ocnblu Laugh all you want Chuckles, please post what you would do to bring in costs from the crazy UAW. I am awaiting blu!

    @Drew Dowdell Where you able to sit in the Mach E at the LA auto show? What was the general buzz about it, did it seem like folks were excited for it?
  18. G. David Felt
    Seems the April 2020 New York Auto show will be missing two of the biggest German makers, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are going alternative ways to show off their new product launches and reach out to potential customers. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mercedes-benz-new-york-auto-show/ Detroit, Chicago and now New York MB will not be at, they state that BMW has nixed this upcoming NY auto show too. The only question is the late fall LA auto show, will Mercedes-Benz show up there or not?

    Seems FCA has joined up with Faraday Future to produce a Jeep Renegade 4x4e. https://electrek.co/2019/12/02/strange-bedfellows-fiat-chrysler-and-faraday-future-working-together-on-electric-vehicles/ Interesting question to ponder, how much more empty assembly plants will North America have by 2025 with the growth of EV startups? ? Lucid finally has financing as they start actual construction on their huge $700 million dollar factory in Arizona. https://electrek.co/2019/12/02/lucid-first-image-ev-factory/ With a secure $1 billion from Saudi Arabia, they seem to have the money to move forward with building their wicked fast 4 door sedan.

    Based on info captured by other reporting outfits, Ford is planning on 50,000 Mach e a year to begin and then ramps from there as batteries become more available. That makes it 4,166 plus per month. Would for sure kill all the others in sales if they hit this for the first year. OK, some clarity, sales of the Mach e goes on first in the US and Europe with a split of about 25,000 to Europe and 25,000 to the US. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1126230_how-many-mustang-mach-e-electric-suvs-will-ford-build-we-ve-got-numbers We now know where the electrics will be built in their new contract.

    Very cool conversion. We will get a new EV microbus in 2021 as a 2022 model and yet VW supplied a very clean old VW Microbus to EV West https://evwest.com/catalog/ which is well known for their EV conversions and they even kept the manual shifter for those wanting to row but gave a all original interior with an EV power train. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1126223_vw-project-e-bus-electric-microbus-builds-buzz-with-e-golf-transplant

    Have to say the profiles are nice on these twins. I myself like the more upright Palisade rear, but the sporty looking stance of the Telluride. From the Front, I have ended up vacillating back n forth between them both. They are both nice looking depending on my mood. Like the look of the Telluride from the back over the Palisade. Interesting looking at the competition of these CUVs.
  23. G. David Felt
    Very true, Will take this over the Predator mouth of the Lexus auto's every day!

    Snow covers the grim underneath. Frozen sunny days here in the West, aka Seattle. Wish it would rain here so we get snow in the mountains to ski.

    Hopefully as auto companies move to a Skateboard type platform of EV auto's they can continue to go more robotics to further reduce the UAW and as needed build plants in non-union areas. Unions HAD their place at one time and now have gotten as corrupt as the Political mess in DC. If the US auto companies do not find a better way to move forward with building profitable entry level auto's to ubber luxury auto's without paying college wages to assembly line workers, their days will be numbered and they will end up in a mess. So my strategy as you asked for is building new tech assembly plants in non-union states, automate further existing plants to reduce UAW presence and hold the line against costs so that the auto makers can offer profitable entry level auto's.
