  1. This is too funny and I HOPE HOPE HOPE Amazon moves forward with this as all the auto's on Amazon for sale will have a TRUMP TARIFF line that shows how much TARIFF tax they will pay. Trump’s ‘Pottery Barn rule’ problem
  2. Very cool to see This Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner Managed 413,991 Miles In Under Four Years, With One Big Catch
  3. Removing tariffs that idiot47 caused so much pain with for getting nothing in return show how stupid a person can be in not understanding true business and how to negotiate. A real man with Business sense would have put together a package of tariffs to present to China to address specific areas that are an imbalance not just attack everything and see what falls out. As such, incompetence in not understanding the long road map to building greatness shows how foolish the current administration is and now they are going to sign an exception list for the auto industry. Destroy good trading partners just to cause Chaos! Never a sound business strategy. Trump to Sign Order Later Tuesday Easing Auto Tariff Impact

  5. This will be interesting to see how it plays out now that a Banker is PM of Canada and has no respect for Idiot47. They now look to take a more central roll on the Global Stage and in Commerce. This will be an interesting time as the U.S. could find itself struggling especially from an Auto Industry stand point to continue the growth they had. Mexico is supporting Chinese auto companies, Canada is looking to embrace BYD and other imports, this does not bode well for the U.S. economic engine. 'Trump is trying to break us': Carney wins in Canada riding fury at Trump to victory This from GM along with others I am seeing in the news today pretty much tells us we are in for a recession. GM pulls forecast due to tariffs as nervous consumers rush to buy As company's pull their forecast, that speaks volumes about what they see for the rest of this year, long term future of growth as people pull back from spending money.

  6. OUCH another CyberTurd fail, no so water capable even at the waterline. Instagram Story on it here: A driver believed Elon Musk's wildest Cybertruck design claim, and it didn't end well I hope the lady continues to win and keep Musk from taking an out of line pay package that he is not worthy to receive. Tesla Investor Fights With Musk Over Billionaire’s Pay in Appeal
  7. Was wondering what the sales numbers are and I see since it came out, it has gone no where but down. Slowest selling auto for years now. Dodge Hornet Tops The U.S. Slowest-Selling Vehicle List Again - MoparInsiders That is pretty pathetic, I honestly have not seen any here in the wild for the PNW, so I do wonder where they are selling. WOW, just saw that they have a 428-day supply on hand. Crazy
  8. This shows that we must never forget the history of how lying men can destroy a country. Kill others all to justify a personal blindness to the multi-cultural society that the planet is and will always be. It was interesting to see the Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volkswagen logos all over. Clearly these three companies played a big roll in arming Germany and hurting the world. Yet we also can see some amazing technology that was created and used in the auto industy.
  9. That is a tough question, GM has stopped importing and those that have come in are being kept at the ports till this issue gets resolved. I honestly can see plenty of auto's from Europe, Asia sitting at our ports for months and eventually having to be discounted at the end of the year to be sold due to this stupidity. In regards to Mexico and Canada, I have not seen any clear message on how the auto companies are dealing with the models that are built there to come here. As far as I can see, they have paused production, but not 100% sure on all of it as it is such a birds nest mess. Hopefully Drew might have some other insight I have not seen yet.
  10. He just visited Mexico and had some time looking at the products. I will, say that all my coworkers in other markets where BYD sells autos have pretty positive impressions of BYD as they go Global. I can see BYD surpassing Toyota as the world's biggest auto builder.
  11. The Mazda CX50 is a compact that built in the U.S. for Canada and is now paused for production and jobs as they will import them from Japan to avoid the idiotic tariffs. Then we also have Subaru, Honda and Stellantis that has all paused production of select models that are exported to Canada, Mexico or outside North America for sale that have been paused with temp layoffs due to the tariff's stupidity.
  12. Some weird news as Coal power plants turn up production. Data shows surprising shift at power plants across the US — here's what's happening
  13. If the Germans were HONEST with their sales numbers and profits per model, the coupe / sports cars that are just 2 doors are probably money losers. As such, why have an auto just for Auto Sake, The current V series already kick ass over the Germans and the money is made in the SUVs, so at this point in time, your grabbing at straws to justify the German brands which are past their prime as they are behind in EV technology and have lost their luxury shine even in performance to others. As they say, every dog has its day and they had theirs and now Cadillac is surging again to come back to the top dog position.
  14. Yes, that hits the nail on the head of a debate we have been having at my work as many also feel while retro cool, the public says they want it but will not buy it as Humans are lazy. They want Cheap with all the trimmings and that will never happen. Kinda like this video of the true fact of Americans.
  15. This is a very interesting take on an EV and gives me old 1970s SUV vibe.
