I agree with you on the Generic FWD/AWD platforms that is shared with Chevy/GMC. I think while your right about the Power Surge of the communist in China, it is still a good way to have the US in a positive light of selling our products there rather than walk away from a market that makes up 1/5th of the world population. I think we need to fight to show democracy everywhere. Just need better leadership to see a global vision of growth at GM and a plan on how to accomplish that.

Really? They are leading with Buick and have so much invested, so your saying GM will walk away from the market and investments they made there?

One has to wonder with all the new startups and china pushing to expand outside china, what the numbers for everyone will end up being in 10 years. Current as of Q2 2020: https://www.statista.com/statistics/343162/market-share-of-major-car-manufacturers-in-the-united-states/ Global market share: https://www.statista.com/statistics/316786/global-market-share-of-the-leading-automakers/ One has to wonder about the thinking of the badge snobs when Mercedes is below Chevrolet in global market share. @smk4565 As much as you talk about how great MB is globally, they have smaller market share than many other lesser brands. Care to try to explain that? QUESTION to EVERYONE! What do you think it will take for an AMERICAN Auto Company Ford or GM to be truly global again?

Seems ahead of the reveal Monday, the two door bronco leaked. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/this-is-it-2021-bronco-with-top-off-doors-removed-sand-in.1676/ More Bronco leaked images here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/mid-day-2021-bronco-and-bronco-sport-teasers.1670/ Hate to say it, while I was excited for this Bronco, it looked dated already. Too Retro. Bummer This so reminds me of the 70's before everyone was trying to save you in your auto. https://jalopnik.com/being-a-kid-was-just-a-little-more-fun-before-parents-r-1844342712 Cool editorial about buying old cars. https://jalopnik.com/is-it-a-bad-idea-to-buy-an-older-model-as-a-daily-drive-1844334210

We find goofy music from every era. Very cool story about a fleet of 18 Mercury Marauders that were specialized and donated to the Florida Police. Could go 150 mph with no vibration, upgraded brakes, etc. Wish they built and sold this as the true marauder, that would have been hot. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34755/the-legend-of-the-fhp-mercury-marauder-the-fastest-and-rarest-panther-of-them-all

Editorial on why Ford should build a Raptor Mustang. What are your thoughts? Should ford have a Raptor version of Mustang and what about the rest of the product line? Every SUV/CUV should they have a raptor package like GM does with SS? https://www.thedrive.com/news/34703/why-ford-must-build-a-mustang-raptor Story is about a new auto site that tracks down cheap manual track time type auto's. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34727/this-site-tracks-down-all-the-cars-with-manual-transmissions-under-5000
