Industry News: Volkswagen's CEO Says A Badge-Engineered Version of the Ranger Could Happen
For both, it highly depends on which plant they come out of. VW's Chattanooga plant seems to do good work, every Passat I've driven has been very solid and well built. Their plant in Mexico, not as much.

They've been doing that for decades. The original Focus, the Contour, the final Cougar, even the current Fusion.

Glad that the overall feedback is positive. The prior theme was just the default theme that ships with the software.

I'm split. On the GMC, I like the '19 better than the '18 though not by much. On the Chevy, I much prefer the '18 over the '19 as long as it is in Z71 trim with the body color fascia and lacking most of the chrome.

I'm back home now. I think 19 is the number of people shot, but only 8 or 9 dead.

I'll try to adjust the logo. It's one of those things that looks right on a computer and then squished on a phone or tablet.

Q3 2018 - Tesla Turns a Profit
Me either. I thought they would run out of cash over the summer, but they seem to have just squeezed through to a profitable quarter. If they can maintain the momentum on the Model 3, they could actually make it.

The XT4 is a little vehicle inside.... cozy is the best word for it. It is not a family truckster.
