Does this picture signal the investment potential in Amazon? Watch Mad Money! He has for the last few weeks been talking about the impending recession / correction. He does talk about some real bargains and the potential consolidation in the auto industry.

His GC is a 2017 model. I had a 1994 Sahar Wrangler, was fun but your right back breaker if you want a smooth ride. I tend to think of the Wranglers as more of a youthful ride even though the prices are crazy now especially for a Rubicon. Take my Escalade over a Wrangler any day.

Has way more style than the current Yawn of style at MB.

Not bad looking, better than what they have now.

My son has a Grand Cherokee and I have to say it is very nice and been very reliable with no issues as he enters his 3rd year of ownership. Hopefully they will double check everything in the product line and not just the wrangler.

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-AMG One Delayed
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Yes, I take the risk of an ASSumption that at a 2yr delay, Auto technology will leap frog this auto and be old tech at the rate MB is going to attempt to address the issues. I might end up being an ASS if they really deliver it in 2 years, but how would it be relevant when others are surpassing them already? I something that was shown off 2 years ago and now delayed another 2 years being 4 years old not old tech? I do not see F1 or Formula E stopping yearly development to wait for AMG to get their Halo Car built and working. AMG One will be a 4yr old concept if they get it working to deliver to their customers. -

Starter Problem Oil Heating problem High RPM idle problem Connection of having the F1 engine power 4 electric motors problem Pathetic battery pack problem AMG One is a Problem that I easily can see being killed off as MB has to pay billions for their Diesel FRAUD! AMG One is DEAD AUTO before it even leaves the factory. Moon Shot FAILED! -

Your Smoking CRACK if you think this is their MOON SHOT! Already superior Hyper cars that go faster than the AMG One are built and shown off both EV and Hybrid and as @balthazar has pointed out, you can get an emission legal Hemi that does what this motor says it will do but cannot pass emissions. This MB Halo car is already old news, old hat and old tech. Plus if it was so close to passing emissions then why do they have to delay it by 2 years? ? This is what all auto companies do to projects that are already on the possible chopping block due to economics and money lossing cash flow. AMG One I am calling it now is DEAD! -

Your ignoring the facts that MB is now facing multiple billions of dollars of fines due to their own FRAUD on Diesel. As such, I doubt this project will survive as they cut costs to stay profitable and alive. VW currently is at $33.6 Billion in fines and still not done. https://www.wardsauto.com/industry/volkswagen-s-dieselgate-costs-top-336-billion That kind of cash loss will HURT MB and make them look at projects like the AMG One and Kill it. Right now the Delay is just that, time to assess if they can really afford to spend money on it or just kill it and take their lumps and move forward. Very cool read, thanks for posting. Course unlike MB, this is a specialty build auto on a small company so they can get away with an F1 911 from the 80's unlike MB which is going to have to meet current year Spec emissions. I honestly do not think the AMG One will make it to market as it was originally intended. -

I would recommend betting on it being canceled than continuing this NON-PROFITABLE project as the fines are just starting and while Europe may settle for $1 billion Euros, the US is going to hit hard like VW and it will be huge. Common sense says a company will cut its losses when it comes to surviving. I bet this gets canceled after all, better to invest it in an EV, Hybrid or current auto's that make money than a Halo auto that cannot even start yet without heating oil. DEAD ON ARRIVAL! There is a reason F1 is a dying sport and Formula E has taken over. -

Jaguar News: Jaguar Land Rover Could Share BMW Platform
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Jaguar
Guess for Europe with small WWII roads, the subcompact to compact class makes sense, but over all while the lower cost of a platform makes sense, I question the real value long term as independent companies. -
That is what happens when you post from a Smartphone with limited screen size. I posted into the wrong thread. Was thinking originally Random. Loving my all LED 6500K lights around the house. so bright and nice. At least when I need to do repairs I do them to code and correctly and do not end up with a mess like this failure. Only in Russia do you find these kinds of heater repairs.

Outstanding read on the question of how to make money on a $20 cheeseburger and how to apply this to auto companies like Lyft and Uber. Startups And The $20 Cheeseburger Problem http://flip.it/XgCors First Mary K car? ?

Nissan News: Nissan Titan XD Loses Diesel and Single Cab

Are ya sure you want to be that nice about 2012 and not maybe 2002? -
So my 4 bulb 4ft long florescent fixture 20 plus years old in the garage went out. Replaced it with two 4 ft deluxe daylight 6500K light fixtures. Should have done this years ago, so nice and bright like being in the sun which is what 6500K led bulbs are equal too.

Not sure how people cannot stay in their lane but also how some one else can hit and run. Crazy accident day. also saw an old couple in a 2nd gen SRX cadillac that turned into a black F150.hitting the rear bumper and barely any damage to the truck, but the nose was gone on the SRX and the radiator was leaking fluid. Tow for sure. Then just got to 24hr fitness, coming down the off Ramp from I5 freeway, a S-class Mercedes turned right into the off ramp and just barely missed hitting an accord. Clearly they were confused as I think the wanted the next road up into the Resident Inn. I could see the Accord driver was freaked as were the MB owner. Leg day, time to burn some calories.

Maybe he was looking at Diesel or Future of ICE Autos.

Generations is a good way to look at an auto. Cadillac has continually improved. Vinyl wrap a new truck to look old? ? I just do not get these wraps.

I wonder if the world is not pushing towards a government system much like that in the Movie Starship troopers. You have a cast system of the rich and not being citizens is OK with them as they have the money and everyone else that must serve the global gov to get citizenship and basic benefits. Agree with much of what everyone here thinks about the lack of respect for the constitution. In other random thoughts, I think China will ignor and join Russian in full normal relations with Iran and take all their oil negating the idiots in DC of our country. Within 50 years, you will have to have a special permit to own and drive an ICE auto. Electric auto's with Solid state batteries are our future.

Not sure what year, but 70's era and sexy as hell. Clearly after market exhaust as it had a lovely deep rumble but not too loud or annoying annoying like ricer fart can rides or sti noise.

Weird, have not checked the site in a long time, but they had at one time allowed the P100D battery pack as an upgrade battery to the 325 mile battery pack. Interesting. Guess the month to month changes are real. Crazy that Tesla cannot seem to stay with a consistent sales model of what is and is not available and upgrade versus regular or premium. Thank you for letting me know. Will be interesting to test this same test against the F150 and Rivian trucks when they come out.
