    Once it pops, deals are gonna be all over as dealers try to unload new product and CPO / used.

    Lately I have seen many new auto's where the owners seem too lazy to remove the labels and yet the auto has a license plate, not been washed in a month of sundays and body damage from winter. Truly lazy asses, that are pathetic use and discard elements of society. Pathetic how some have become.

    Have not seen a base pickup truck in my area in years.

    I understand the point you are stating, but from all accounts, Alfa and Maserati DO NOT generate profits. The billions taken from Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep to build a platform and sell a few thousands auto's does not make Alfa a profit center and Maserati has been eating up company capital also. Drew once said merge the two together, but I have to wonder if they really can survive in the over load of auto choices especially with the Chinese pushing their own auto industry so hard. Italians seem to be lazy about building quality auto's.

    Agree, should stop waisting money on trying to revive and push out the garbage italian auto's and focus on what drives their profits. Kill off Fiat and Alfa and invest in Chrysler as a luxury brand to mid market brand equal to what Buick and Cadillac are.

    Amazing how far we have come in auto design from this and how the EV industry has used some of the same thinking in making their auto's today. Please correct me if I am missing it @balthazar but did not the beginning of the industry do a type of skateboard concept with the frame and the body was just bolted down onto the top of it with everything else either between the frame or under it? @Robert Hall If ya was back in AZ, you could check this out. Rivian is gonna be at the Overland Expo West.

    Let's not forget that with XFS starting to be installed and Toshiba solid state batteries to go into Nissan and Mitsubishi auto's that are planned to go on sale in 2020 as a 2021 model we will have two options. 198 miles battery pack with a 6 min recharge time or the 396 mile battery pack that recharges in 12 min via an XFS charger. XFS is what Shell has implied they will install at their gas stations for paid use by the public.

    Cool, Jetta Sportwagen EV! I like it!

    So how will you get that gas with no power? ? No ability to pump it from the ground tank to the dispenser and then into your auto. No Power, no ability for the refinery to process the oil into gas and then transport it to the wholesaler and then to the retailer and then into your auto. No power, then no ability to drill the well to pump the oil into the holding tanks, then into the rail car, to the refiner to the transport, to the wholesaler, to the retailer to your auto. With power, be it solar, wind, hydro, natural gas, coal, nuclear, power generated, transmitted over the lines and dispersed via various charging stations or even in your own home means: ALWAYS FULLY CHARGED in the Morning, Fully charged during the power outage times due to weather storms, Means not going out in a storm when you are near empty to make sure you have a tank of gas in the morning to attempt to get to work. EV or ICEV???? ??? I will grant you both have exciting reasons and draw backs, yet like the early 1900's we are at the beginning of a new exciting era. Enjoy your ICEV Blu, I will enjoy mine too till the EVs are in production that will fit me and I can retire my ICEV for an EV. Thank you for the tension breaker. It is spring and lovely today. Off to do yard work.

    Righttttttttttt ? Our incompetent leadership from the White house to the senate and house that has pretty much destroyed any leadership this country had left in the world with ignorant trade policies that have hurt more than helped the average American in the last 3 years. You can hate either party in the US, but the last time we actually had solid good reaching across the isle to build a budget of living within the means and paying down debt was the 90's. Right, I think the buck board in your buggy needs a new nail. While not everyone will agree with political push in one direction or another, the end fact is that government drive of technology is what has given us some amazing better ways to drive, fly, and live in this planet that needs to be saved from toxic old ways of doing things. EDUCATION IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER!!! Without pushing for the 22nd century and embracing change that looks for the good of the whole rather than the selfishness of the individual humanity flourishes. Global Trade will always have drawback as nothing will ever be perfect as humans are not perfect, yet we can learn to live together in this Multi-Cultural society that can give us so much more by reaching across with best intent and listening and speaking one's mind to find a way to agree to disagree while building better products, better quality of life and enjoying the differences that can give us all a cleaner, healthier planet to live on.

    Probably inline with the average age of the SLR buyer. I have yet to see any of the top end AMG auto's owned by anything less than seniors.
  13. G. David Felt
    Totally makes sense especially as they focus on offering EV's, then replace those models with a superior EV.
  14. G. David Felt
    Interesting, I would pass on the sedan at this point and focus on the hot CUV market. I honestly doubt the sedan would get much if any attention and would surly have to be sold at a loss to move it.

    THANK YOU @Drew Dowdell You are right Politics and even religion have a proper place when in the proper context of our Auto discussions. Electrics does seem to becoming the new bible standard of use in Europe and the mental adoption based on marketing and incentives to change seem to be getting people off the fence or out of the old toxic diesel and into the new cleaner age of EV's. Yes I understand that places that are 100% on coal produced electric are no cleaner than diesel, much like West Virgina which is still 100% coal produced electric power, yet for those places that use Hydro, wind and solar, even natural gas, so much greener, cleaner and the air smells much better. I think sadly the US is going to lose more of their edge to Europe and the Asian rim as they move forward government driven for a quieter cleaner driving experience.

    I take this 1940 Chevy as an EV Pickup. Talk about a Frunk!

    Not being a financial wizard at long term planning of a major company. At the rate of sales to costs to R&D, I wonder what the analytics would say is the year of profitability now? ? 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035????????? I bet Rivian has a better idea than Tesla, but I do wonder how long before someone buys them up.

    Looks like a hockey puck, but we gave away Dell Technology Branded Wireless high speed chargers this year st DTW 2019.

    I think @smk4565 Wants a luxury Hummer rebadged as a Cadillac so he has something real to complain about to offset the terrible G-Wagon.

    Ducati says an electric motorcycle is coming, but first they’ve announced this electric scooter http://flip.it/Iz6m7I Ducati scooter EV first product out

    I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a G8 or GTO, but then cars are not very popular here compared to trucks, SUV and CUVs.

    Bought the movie, have not had a chance to watch it yet.

    My Note 8 does not have that option anymore for removable, but then I have not ever had a freeze issue on it either so no need to do that and I now make a habit of rebooting it once a week to have it boot up clean.

    I already thought that Most of the S-Class sold in China were 4 bangers with some 6 and a few rare 8 banger motors.

    Interesting, guess they are darker than the normal ones. I love the bacon / cheese flavored ones.
