Tariff Tuesday - Buick Killing it in China; Killed in the U.S.
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Opinion
Buick like Chrysler are Dead Auto Brands stagnant. The Tariffs are just stupid and if you do the full 245% that has been in the news makes Buick dead, dead, dead. Then we have Mazda announcement that they have stopped all production of the CX50 model for the Canada market as they are not going to deal with the Tariffs to go over the border. As such, people laid off, less product, but Canada will now get their CX50's from Japan according to the news. Buick like Mazda are now casualties of idiot leadership by a person who never has had to work hard let alone build anything in a global market. -

Subaru News: Subaru Reveals new 2026 Subaru Trailseeker
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Subaru
Not Overthinking is a good thing this year with all the craziness going on. Washington just raised their gas tax 6 cents per gallon, so 55 cents for WA tax and 18.4 for Fed tax, so a 73.4 cents in fuel tax on top of the gas price. On average 40 to 45 cents per gallon cheaper at Costco/Sams Club here. Worth waiting in line unless I have a dollar discount at Fred Meyers which I get about once a month. Makes it worth fueling up at their slow pumps to save $32 on a tank full. Like you Drew, not renewing Sams Club, just not seeing the value in comparison to Costco here. Sadly Dell has done a RTO for full campuses, Hybrid for all others. As such, I now have to go into work 3 days a week. Lucky our Light Rail just opened up, so rather than 1 to 1 1/2 hrs in my own auto to drive into Seattle. I can drive 5 min to the Lynnwood rail station, jump on the train and be 4 blocks from the office 35 min later. Seattle requires all businesses to provide mass transit passes, good on the busses, trains or ferry system. Looking at fueling up every 4 to 5 weeks now for my Escalade. -
Yes sad but he did have his time. While not a religious person, I was happy he was from humble roots in Brazil. He related to the common humanity across our globe way better than some pops that came from well to do backgrounds and felt they were a cast above the lowest group of homeless people. RIP Pope Francis.

We are only at the beginning of a Major Recession if not an outright depression due to Stagflation, the increase in inflation, increase in costs and all Americans being Fleeced by the Idiot Lemmings in DC allowing Idiot47 to destroy the country. Seems the latest is that most auto assembly workers are living pay check to pay check. As such, when companies lay off to stop production due to the economic down turn, many will loose everything I fear. Sad that so many studies show 3 out of 4 workers are living paycheck to paycheck in the U.S. 2025 wage reality: Millions of workers living paycheck to paycheck This is one of the best in depth reads on all income levels and how or why they live paycheck to paycheck. Who Is the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Consumer in America?

This is very cool story, history of when GM started to look at building mass production EVs. Great video of the EV in the story. Retro Rides: The 1969 all-electric GM XP 512E concept Seems GM is sitting on thousands of unsold BrightDrop vans. As such, they are going to lay off the CAMI plant workers till the fall and then only bring back a smaller group of workers. GM throttles down BrightDrop production at CAMI plant Seems the biggest part of the problem is that GM is over $20,000 more than the equal van from Ford in e-Transit form. GM faces BrightDrop EV crisis: Overflowing lots and mass layoffs

This is pathetic and will hurt America and the Citizens long term. The folk at the end is sad as this is the worst tech layout in a long time and no one is hiring. I feel for all those that have lost their jobs.
