    BBC is reporting that Nissan has finalized the cuts as 12,500 jobs globally on top of assembly plant closures. 6,400 lay offs have already happened at eight locations. The rest will be done by the end of the year. They also plan to shed an additional 6,100 global jobs between 2020 and 2022 at six additional locations. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-49109307 This is in addition to reporting a 94.5% drop in net profit for Q1 of 2019, worst in decades. UK Sunderland is hoping to avoid job cuts but Nissan has announced that the new X-Trail auto will be built in Japan and exported rather than in the UK due to the Brexit uncertainty.

    This is way to weird and wrong for the potential 2020 new Escalade imho.

    Detroit 3 Truck makers CANNOT do this, Rivian will have a Tank Feature on their Truck and SUV for added Off-road capability. https://electrek.co/2019/07/24/rivian-electric-pickup-truck-tank-steer-video/ Very Cool

    Thanks, found this story on Android Auto and the wireless feature, but it uses so much power, not worth having it they say. Yet for short trips, still interesting. https://www.extremetech.com/mobile/267568-google-rolls-out-wireless-android-auto-but-almost-no-one-can-use-it Found this with good info also: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/android-auto-faq,news-20799.html

    Yes, a break even halo auto is always desired, but the issues MB has had with this hypercar is pushing it to the point of cancellation on top of now a 2021 release date. Heck other auto companies could have superior hypercars out by then.

    I thought you also could connect via Bluetooth to the built in auto system.

    Is it just me or is BMW STUPID for charging for Carplay when Kia offers it for free plus Android auto? https://www.thedrive.com/news/29134/bmw-is-charging-owners-an-80-annual-subscription-fee-to-use-apple-carplay So now you have to pay $80 a year to get access on your POS BMW auto for Carplay and screw you Android users. Seems to me that BMW does not want tech users in their auto's. IDIOTS! ?

    The company is bleeding billions and no matter how much you have in the bank, one has to face the music, how much more do you invest in a project that has yet to return a profit let alone break even cost and seems to still not be able to be legal for common road driving? The AMG One needs to be shut down, accept that this was a project that was not possible to achieve and focus on something that is.

    Welcome to the global recession start. Expect job cuts in many countries world wide of basic worker assembly line jobs to manual labor day jobs. Time for the world to take a break and focus on reduction of debt. This is going to hurt many.

    So let's take a hard look at MB sales which was posted here: Based on these numbers for the first 6 months, anything under 10,000 a year sold is not considered profitable by the auto industry, the following models should be cut: B-Class - Only 6 sold year to date. SLC - Only 1,187 sold year to date. SL - Only 928 sold year to date. AMG GT - Only 1,858 sold year to date. G-Class - Only 3,819 sold year to date. Smart - Only 496 sold year to date. I am sure there are other models that if we broke down the coupe versus regular models we could find additional efficiencies by model reduction. Also, All customers effective immediately should get refunds for the Vaporware Hypercar that is not able to be made roadworthy and really is a waste of time and money since the F1 engine was never designed for street legal roads.

    Wonder how long and which ones will last the CUV craze? Could it be FCA, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai still or will it reduce down to 1 or 2 only? ?

    @ccap41 I start it off for you.

    Agreed, was not a fan at all of his late night show or any of those shows, but loved his car show as a down to earth car guy. At least he has shared what other wealthy collectors do not share with the rest of us worker bees. Agreed that his tranny comments were a bit of a surprise and what made me think he is showing his age now and being forgetful. Wonder what will happen to his auto collection when he dies? ? Hopefully some museum will get it at least. Please Post, all brands are subject to be laughed at especially when they break in half.

    Just pulled into my 24hr Fitness to work out and a bright orange Challanger T/A plus is what I parked next to. Weird how many I am seeing of them now and it was a millennial who owned it. Been allot of that age group buying these cars.
  15. G. David Felt
    Today has been a Challenger day, 3 new one, 2 used with one being a demon. Wow

    Amazing how big a problem this is for Toyota and how no one screamed, yelled or got upset and people still think Toyota builds perfect auto's. Been a problem from 2001 to 2009, 8 years of weak ass frames and no one seems to be upset. ? Too funny Amazing what little area they covered on their Tacoma recall for frames.
  17. G. David Felt
    ? Is this sarcasm to get a certain german badge snob to bite cause only real cars, CUVs and Trucks come from Germany and are all RWD biased cause only Germans can build quality auto's?

    @Drew Dowdell how does this compare to Cadillacs Super Cruise?
  19. G. David Felt
    For me it is more like removing my head and holding it in my lap! For everyone that is not vertically in the clouds like me, the CLS is a nice looking car and if it fits your desires, go for it.

    Baby boomer use of so much processed foods made America Fat. Fast Foods just allowed other generations to come to become even Fatter. The laziness of Americans to use doordash or any of the other food delivery systems and not learn to cook is destroying America. Grow a Garden, learn to cook and then make healthy organic food dishes that can be heated up and eaten but far better for you. Sunday's I cook two large dishes so I have breakfast and lunch covered for the work week. My Garden

    While not a fan, I would agree with both @Drew Dowdell and @ccap41 Why would anyone really want a European Taxi in their driveway when they can have a classier looking CLS.

    Jay is really showing his age. Very cool video, Thanks @NINETY EIGHT REGENCY for posting this.
  23. G. David Felt
    Me thinking you sell both properties and buy a new house with your CT6.
  24. G. David Felt
    Sounds like a fun test drive is coming up.

    Consider one as a replacement for the Buick?
