    FAILURE, I doubt it will sell in enough quantity to offset the price of building it, shipping it and supporting it in the US. Like SMK, I am surprised by this and they must be grasping at straws for CAFE.

    Kinda like the phone app you can use to track you kids and make sure they are where they say they are. Cool!

    Yes he bought an awesome performing sedan! Do you dislike it because it is not a VW with a DSG Trans and a Turbo 4 banger?
  4. G. David Felt
    Which auto did you drive that had the 8AT that you found what you stated above? Or is this just assumption because it is not a DSG Trans and your going on others comments. Have you actually driven the ATS-V, CTS Sport or Corvette that has that transmission? Smooth and performs extremely well. better than some german auto's.

    Exactly as to why Drew did that thread on Costco Auto Line. Kirkland Signature Autos if memory serves me correct.

    If they do it right, it should sell enough to cover R&D costs.

    Yet the flip side of the issue here is that China owns one of the two big bus companies in California that is building pure battery EV Buses that we will see all over the road later this year and especially next year. You would think that if the Chinese auto companies are flush with cash and have a solid product, why not come to the US compared to Europe. Going into Europe as they are in a depression and clearly have excessive capacity makes no sense to me.

    Yup, guess some places have to have adults in control, many places around the world are clearly lacking in that area.

    True will drive it till they reach a point of either killing their own population due to pollution or they wake up and start fixing the problems. Seems fixing is their focus based on their very strong hybrid/ev policy for auto's starting next year.

    Very true and in the process Idiot Serg will build resentment that will hurt his so called Italian Auto rebirth.

Crazy did not know they were going that high. Wonder why this one is so cheap?

    WOW, Talk about a Joy Kill, you pop my bubble!

    This totally made my day! It really is how I see the world and how I see humanity and for a Friday, what a great way to end the work week. Cheers Mates, May you all have an awesome weekend. I will be cracking a bottle of wine after work today!

    Simple for an old car lineup: Daily Driver: Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aero 1986 Utility: GMC Syclone Road Trip: GMC Typhoon Track: Buick Grand National

    Gotta love EV Conversions that just roast tires and are fun to drive! 3:51 is where the show off of power and tire screeching is shown off.
  17. G. David Felt
    Would you consider a segway a bike or auto? Will the auto industry do what the OIL companies think will happen that EV's will be 1/3rd of auto sales by 2030?

    I still expect Alfa to die again and Fiat to have to pull out as the crap they sell know does not seem to hold an owner past 10K miles before being traded in for something far better either from 1 of the only 2 american auto companies or a German / Asian brand. Italy sucks at making autos. Expect Sergio the worm to spin off Jeep and Ram and then sell them off to a Chinese company to make enough money to continue to keep his Italian crap going till he can take his golden parachute and retire. That is how I see it.

    I hate to walk this fine line, but this thread tends to force one to acknowledge that there is political ramifications here. China just launched their 2nd aircraft carrier. China is at odds with the US unlike Japan and Korea. I think there is concern by Chinese businessmen and possible pressure from their own GOV about expanding into the US. I honestly think many people around the world are holding off to see what all happens in our own country with our own messed up political mess before investing and moving forward. Stock markets will take short term gains and then unload to lock in profits, long term is going to be another story and only companies that are already invested with boots on the ground will continue to do business. We see American companies pulling out of Russia. This is an interesting time from a business standpoint on how one considers and invests around the world.

    35 min to ascend 3,150 feet from tree line to crater rim of Mt. St. Helens via Snow Kitting. Yup this is what Washington looks like with Mt Hood in the background.

    Trumpchi? I see the lawsuits already on that name. Be interesting to see how many hold off on the US market due to the irrational behavior of our current government.
  22. G. David Felt
    True, they are and will always be a catch up company. I just think that to survive since anyone with any common business sense would never get in bed with FCA, will end up spinning off groups to survive.
  23. G. David Felt
    As I posted in this write up, Jeep has a Plugin Hybrid 3 row SUV they will build for the China Market first. I can see this coming to the US once they are satisfying the gov in China for Plugin Hybrid or EV sales. True, I agree with you but idiot Sergio seems to only be able to look at short term solutions.
  24. G. David Felt
    Spinning off Jeep / Ram might be the only way for FCA to stay alive and keep the rest of the company going in the short term.

    We'll I can see why the Mustang is selling more than the Camaro. They are advertising more. I was unable to really find any advertising and had to resort to searching for Camaro in China and finally found this. So yes, FORD would sell more mustangs than Camaro as GM is doing what they always seem to do, piss poor marketing of a product. But then as Drew says, they are selling fists of Buicks and other auto's, the Camaro is just a blimp on their radar that is not too important.
