Been having trouble getting online last few days. Happy B-day! (in case you don't have your glasses handy!)

You mean almost 30. What does 29+ feel like? :D

Wait. All along, since this feel-good nonsense started, it was a 10 year bump ('50 is the new 40'). When the hell did it double to a 20-yr bump?? BTW; I wish. ;)

? Got ya beat by 10 years. 50 and just now hitting mid life!

Volkswagen is planning a lineup of electric vehicles which include a hatchback, crossover, and small van. But a new report says the German automaker has ambitions to launch an electric vehicle with a pricetag of about 18,000 euros (about $21,000). Sources tell Bloomberg the model in question will be a subcompact crossover and begin selling sometime after 2020. According to Reuters, the model is currently known as "MEB entry". Volkswagen is planning a production volume of 200,000 vehicles that will take place at three factories. This vehicle hasn't been approved by Volkswagen's supervisory board. According to sources, a discussion on the vehicle is expected to take place during their next meeting on November 16th - the same meeting that is reportedly where a discussion on possible expanding their partnership with Ford is expected to take place. Sources also mentioned another electric model, the I.D. Aero. The midsize sedan and wagon would be built at Volkswagen's Emden plant in Germany. Emden is currently home to the production of the European Passat sedan and wagon, but sources say production of the model would move to the Czech Republic in 2022. Having the Aero take the Passat's place would help keep jobs at Emden. Volkswagen declined to comment. Source: Bloomberg (Subscription Required), Reuters View full article

Me too...feeling every bit of 40 now....

That's pretty f'd up..

I didn't say it would be doing THEM a favor... ;)

No reason to leave. The US is one of their biggest markets and they have many employees here.

They could do the USDM a huge favor, and pull out entirely. ;)

I'll be 50 in about 20 months. Got to work on getting fit. I'm really physically feeling my age.

I am liking this, I am only 30 now.

Be it an EV, Plugin or just a nice properly done mid engine halo car for Cadillac, I am excited by this.

@dfelt Actually in Europe electric bikes are extremely popular. I know in some countries they had to make new laws limiting age and requiring protection because a lot of kids were riding them and getting into bad accidents.

H-D realizes they have to evolve if they are going to survive long term. Their current nostalgia focused product is appealing to a smaller and smaller base of customers and not bringing in younger buyers.

Buncha old farts. ? HBD- DD!

There's not a lot of difference between off-shelf (solid wood) cabinets and custom-line cabs. You can pay triple and still get particle board boxes.

I would rather loose Ford than Toyota. Turning a profit and have a decent reputation...no reason for them to leave.
