    Want Crossovers yes, convertible on top of the crossover, I doubt it.

    Just the Facts please and according to the following: http://concealednation.org/2016/01/how-many-guns-does-your-state-have-a-look-at-the-numbers-plus-comparisons-to-other-countries/ This info is from the recognized statista.com web site. https://www.statista.com/statistics/215655/number-of-registered-weapons-in-the-us-by-state/ As of 2018 it would seem 43% of US households have at least one gun. Of those that do have a gun, most have multiple. https://www.statista.com/statistics/249740/percentage-of-households-in-the-united-states-owning-a-firearm/ This in comparison to the number of auto's: https://www.statista.com/statistics/196010/total-number-of-registered-automobiles-in-the-us-by-state/ According to the statistics, we have 375 million guns or equal to 113 guns per 100 people. According to the statistics, we have 272.48 million auto's registered to people in the us or .85 of an auto per person. Guns are winning ownership.

    As one that has lived in the sun but after skin cancer and a rebuild of my nose, now uses hats heavily and prefers to stay out of the sun. Pass on this convertible.

    Cute cuv for small people who want a small auto. Have to agree with @Drew Dowdell as the power seems anemic for the auto.

    I expect consolidation around the globe for all the auto makers as the recession takes hold.
  6. G. David Felt
    Seems the news around the globe is all in sync for a global recession, the big ?????? is how big and how deep. Could it be the big Global depression that everyone has feared about and could really blow us into a cast system of have and have nots? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/05/global-economic-crash-2020-understand-why https://upfina.com/2019-global-economic-recession-or-just-a-slowdown/ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/business/economy/recession-world-economy-federal-reserve.html https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-14/recession-warnings-pile-up-for-the-battered-global-economy https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-global-order-crumbles-risks-of-recession-grow-11565784000 All good reads especially this one. https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2019/aug/14/germany-economy-shrinks-gdp-recession-uk-inflation-stock-markets-business-live

    According to the faithful, superior off road capabilities. AKA Rubicon!

    Does this picture signal the investment potential in Amazon? Watch Mad Money! He has for the last few weeks been talking about the impending recession / correction. He does talk about some real bargains and the potential consolidation in the auto industry.

    His GC is a 2017 model. I had a 1994 Sahar Wrangler, was fun but your right back breaker if you want a smooth ride. I tend to think of the Wranglers as more of a youthful ride even though the prices are crazy now especially for a Rubicon. Take my Escalade over a Wrangler any day.
  10. G. David Felt
    Has way more style than the current Yawn of style at MB.
  11. G. David Felt
    Not bad looking, better than what they have now.
  12. G. David Felt
    Guess they want me to buy Asian.
  13. G. David Felt
    My son has a Grand Cherokee and I have to say it is very nice and been very reliable with no issues as he enters his 3rd year of ownership. Hopefully they will double check everything in the product line and not just the wrangler.
  14. G. David Felt
    Expensive packages for a 25th anniversary edition.
  15. G. David Felt
    Yes, I take the risk of an ASSumption that at a 2yr delay, Auto technology will leap frog this auto and be old tech at the rate MB is going to attempt to address the issues. I might end up being an ASS if they really deliver it in 2 years, but how would it be relevant when others are surpassing them already? I something that was shown off 2 years ago and now delayed another 2 years being 4 years old not old tech? I do not see F1 or Formula E stopping yearly development to wait for AMG to get their Halo Car built and working. AMG One will be a 4yr old concept if they get it working to deliver to their customers.
  16. G. David Felt
    Starter Problem Oil Heating problem High RPM idle problem Connection of having the F1 engine power 4 electric motors problem Pathetic battery pack problem AMG One is a Problem that I easily can see being killed off as MB has to pay billions for their Diesel FRAUD! AMG One is DEAD AUTO before it even leaves the factory. Moon Shot FAILED!
  17. G. David Felt
    Your Smoking CRACK if you think this is their MOON SHOT! Already superior Hyper cars that go faster than the AMG One are built and shown off both EV and Hybrid and as @balthazar has pointed out, you can get an emission legal Hemi that does what this motor says it will do but cannot pass emissions. This MB Halo car is already old news, old hat and old tech. Plus if it was so close to passing emissions then why do they have to delay it by 2 years? ? This is what all auto companies do to projects that are already on the possible chopping block due to economics and money lossing cash flow. AMG One I am calling it now is DEAD!
  18. G. David Felt
    Your ignoring the facts that MB is now facing multiple billions of dollars of fines due to their own FRAUD on Diesel. As such, I doubt this project will survive as they cut costs to stay profitable and alive. VW currently is at $33.6 Billion in fines and still not done. https://www.wardsauto.com/industry/volkswagen-s-dieselgate-costs-top-336-billion That kind of cash loss will HURT MB and make them look at projects like the AMG One and Kill it. Right now the Delay is just that, time to assess if they can really afford to spend money on it or just kill it and take their lumps and move forward. Very cool read, thanks for posting. Course unlike MB, this is a specialty build auto on a small company so they can get away with an F1 911 from the 80's unlike MB which is going to have to meet current year Spec emissions. I honestly do not think the AMG One will make it to market as it was originally intended.
  19. G. David Felt
    I would recommend betting on it being canceled than continuing this NON-PROFITABLE project as the fines are just starting and while Europe may settle for $1 billion Euros, the US is going to hit hard like VW and it will be huge. Common sense says a company will cut its losses when it comes to surviving. I bet this gets canceled after all, better to invest it in an EV, Hybrid or current auto's that make money than a Halo auto that cannot even start yet without heating oil. DEAD ON ARRIVAL! There is a reason F1 is a dying sport and Formula E has taken over.
  20. G. David Felt
    GM, Ford and Ram did NOT commit FRAUD! GERMANY COMMITTED FRAUD!
  21. G. David Felt
    Guess for Europe with small WWII roads, the subcompact to compact class makes sense, but over all while the lower cost of a platform makes sense, I question the real value long term as independent companies.
  22. G. David Felt
    That is what happens when you post from a Smartphone with limited screen size. I posted into the wrong thread. Was thinking originally Random. Loving my all LED 6500K lights around the house. so bright and nice. At least when I need to do repairs I do them to code and correctly and do not end up with a mess like this failure. Only in Russia do you find these kinds of heater repairs.

    Outstanding read on the question of how to make money on a $20 cheeseburger and how to apply this to auto companies like Lyft and Uber. Startups And The $20 Cheeseburger Problem http://flip.it/XgCors First Mary K car? ?
  24. G. David Felt
    Are ya sure you want to be that nice about 2012 and not maybe 2002?
  25. G. David Felt
    So my 4 bulb 4ft long florescent fixture 20 plus years old in the garage went out. Replaced it with two 4 ft deluxe daylight 6500K light fixtures. Should have done this years ago, so nice and bright like being in the sun which is what 6500K led bulbs are equal too.
