In other news, seems a number of key states have officially fallen into a recession from mid-west to east coast. 

Pennsylvania alone shed 8,000 manufacturing jobs this year.

Seems a wide diverse group of manufactures from auto company suppliers to farm equipment manifactures are in contraction.

If the strike lasts more than a week, it could send Michigan into recession.

These are so blah.... especially the trunk area. The base 4-cylinder should have more power... at least as much as the old Cobalt SS or Buick Verano.

I don't think its very fair to compare a used Audi to new anything else. I like the looks of the Audi the best though.

I'd just drive less.

GM laid out their side, showed their hand.... what is the UAW asking for that isn't in the deal?

You don't get dinged for the mileage if you buy it out.

The last person out at Mini please shut off the lights.

Honda did this with the Ridgeline and it didn't help sales there either. 

They should probably just cancel everything except the X3, X5, and X7 and the 3-series sedan. Then they'd make lots of profit. 

Not everyone wants a crossover.  Lots of sedans are still sold... but now chevy won't be selling any of them. 

If those mpg figures hold, it would be an amazing truck for that price. I wonder what the cheapest diesel will ring up at. 

BMW lost their way a long time ago when they strayed too far from their original purpose in the name of volume. They made the 3-series and 5-series too soft to cater to American tastes then they started chasing weird things like the 3GT and X6. 

Because they want to text and drive. 

At least they didn't waste a car. Shows what a bit of tuning could do for a Stinger GT. 

They could close 100% of their plants and no one would miss them.

At least it finally looks good.

Toyota owns a controlling interest in Subaru... it's like signing a contract with yourself.

So are they still building this or not? the update looks good, it seemed a bit too femm in the first version

one of the old generation Rav4 EVs.

It's funny how the guy who can't stop talking about the g-wagon is complaining that the GX is old. it took benz 20 years to update that old military vehicle into something approaching luxury.

BMWs are expensive Civics and accords. No soul, no character.

Hopefully this one doesn't piss off the EPA.

Looks like a big gold fish. The interior looks okay, but if material quality is bad, it may not matter.

It looks like a minivan turned into a crossover. Look how well that turned out for GM, but I bet this will sell better than those 4.
