Yes, when you read the story I at least took it to be the Percent of the Tariff applied to the cost of the product. Yet with that said, I can totally understand that without a clear statement of what that number means it would be confusing for people. I have actually reached out to the writer of the story to ask him for clarification of those numbers. Will post the reply once I hear back. Thank you both ?

This is an outstanding site covering the history of Tariffs and Trade going back to 1827. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/history-u-s-trade-wars/

There was no GLB in the US as to why I pulled from the Euro side where the GLB has been selling is my understanding.

Seems the rest of the auto industry is not much impressed either. From edmunds to KBB, seems at most people are only willing to go 3 out of 5 stars. So MEH, https://www.edmunds.com/ford/escape/2020/ https://www.thecarconnection.com/overview/ford_escape_2020 https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/escape/2020/

Does not look like there is much difference between the 2019 and 2020:

So does that mean a possible Girl Scout version with Cookies? ?

Follow up question, wonder how long before 3rd party tuners ramp up the HP/Torque numbers via ECU flash.

Alt-Right or Alt-Left or Centrist, who cares if they are looking to make things better for the whole rather than the one! Sadly we have leadership that I believe is too focused on the one and as I posted above on todays story about Trumps Protectionist approach to deal making, in the long term, this is going to HURT America! He seems to have a to hell with the Constitution and the freedoms our soldiers have fought for here over his own image and personal agenda that helps the less than 1% like the Koch brothers. These two stories seem to support that feeling of protect the 1% and to heck with the rest. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/billionaire-koch-brothers-wont-support-trump-in-2020-snubbing-his-bid-for-second-time https://www.gq.com/story/koch-brothers-eye-the-democrats There is a very libertarian focus from them now on their switch from Tea party / GOP to support the Democrats.

The plastic cover makes this look cheap to me.

I will Second that Vote with a Clear set of rules about respectful posts, no profanity, keep it on point, Post links to articles that back up your post. I think you can have civil discussions on politics with a clear set of boundaries and if needed, then ban the select members who ignore the rules from that workgroup.

This is an interesting read that says protectionism is intensifying and the evidence is there that it will hurt America! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/10/us/politics/trump-mexico-tariffs-china.html Auto frames from Mexico entering America for final assembly.

Posting Classic Iron for @balthazar

LOVE THIS CADILLAC! That car was Awesome, yes not perfect, but still very awesome even with all the chrome.

Very interesting, I can see the FCA / Renault deal still happening, clearly Nissan is willing to let them merge if they get more freedom. Gonna be an interesting story to watch develop.

Which style do you like best? Outside Skirt Flush Skirt Modern Skirt?

@Robert Hall Found a car that has my color! 2019 Hellcat Redeye edition Dodge Challenger For $85K I can dig driving this!

Agree that Korean G90 is Awesome looking! Your talking about the Korean G90 sedan right? This to me blows out the Mercedes-Benz cars even the S-Class.

And that is the problem, my colors are not available in a posters auto or mine.

Sucks that the cars posted and what I like are not available in the colors I like.

And yet so many are expecting him to be re-elected due to the economy.

G80 seems to have the same presence: G90 2020 sure has a presence WOW, they also have a G90 Special Edition that sure has presence!

Thanks for posting, seems you can buy and pay the dealer to program and install it or in the thread you posted there is a person who will send the unit programmed and you just have to plug n play to swap out head units. QUOTE: Every 2014+ has intellilink. You do not need to specify it like the older generations do If you have no nav, then you have RPO IO5. The HMI part number I gave you would upgrade you to RPO IO6. RPO IO6 is the same system you have now but with the factory nav option. Your icon for on*NAV will change to just "Navigation" as the unit has a nav application and maps built into it. If you use a NG2.5 HMI with IO6 (the part number I sent you), you will add Android Auto, CarPlay, and Navigation to your current system. You will loose the Time Shift Radio functionality. You will need to add a nav antenna (the blue connector) No it is not hard. If you have ever put a radio in a car before you can handle this. It is a plug and play upgrade. You can purchase it preprogrammed from Chris@whiteautoandmedia or you can go the DIY route and procure it yourself and have someone program it locally.

Just looked up and the 2015 and 2016 use the same ECU part number. This is very interesting as it does make me scratch my head on why the 15 could not get the phone feature. Will have to dig into this more later as I am really wondering why. ?

Seems that they do use the same part number nav system so you could get a 2016 with Android / apple and put it into the 2015 car. I checked a few other GM OEM part sites and they all use the same part number. Like Drew, not sure why the 2015 cannot be upgraded to work with the system but 2016 does say it is compatible. The radio / antenna components for Digital Audio are the same too. Very interesting

Happy Monday Everyone!
