Interesting observation, the last time the country was in this exact position was 1928 under total GOP control and we know where that got us 2 years later. DEPRESSION. On an auto note, very cool about the Acura. I agree that they are in the same position as Lincoln and living off 1-2 auto's at best. They needs a clean break from Honda and to reboot their line much like I believe Lincoln is doing with the continental.

This should be interesting to watch, wonder if that wonderful software will be on the cars? Plus Audi's seem to put out much more soot for a gas powered auto than I see out of others.

I would hit that! Yup I will take a DB11 in Dark Syrah Color!

COD IW ?

Peace out all, Off to the auto threads as the Ford Bronco work is finally beginning where the original platform was created, Australia. This auto will Rock!

http://www.democracynow.org/2016/10/10/in_shocking_tape_trump_boasts_of So you think this video is a fake and a lie and that it is not Donald Trump who clearly makes the remarks that he forces himself on woman and grabs their pussy? If you are truly blind to his clear assaults, I cannot help you raise the vial that blinds you then. I have tried to show what the rest of the globe sees in this individual, but clearly not everyone is wanting to look at the true individual.

So you believe the Video that has recorded Trump stating in his own words how he gropes woman and what he does to them to not be sexual assault?

Yup, the word starts with ASS! With that said, I could very well be one and I do have one! Yet when Trumps own mouth says the things he has said, to me it implies racism. Ye he married multiple white woman who he cheated with. Yes some are from Europe. Yet his comments speak volumes about his intent.

Racist is clearly implied based on his own Mouth. You seem to also have the same blindness about his clearly stated sexually assaulting attitude. So you think assaulting woman is lesser of an evil than lying? Surreal, I understand you wanting us to get back to auto conversation and random auto stuff. Yet at this point, this is a big issue for this country and since the owner has already commented on this. In this single thread, we are discussing and debating the election even though I do agree this should be in the political thread forum section. I figure by next week we all will finally have off our chests our feelings and move on with the full debating of the auto industry.

Then that is good. A solid dependable auto is an important part of a car companies portfolio of products. Especially with all the other issues VW is dealing with.

Looks like all the years past, nothing special or exciting in this car. I honestly do not get what is so great about the Golf?

I find it interesting in looking back at the exit polling and seeing the large amount of old baby boomer white woman who are willing to over look the clear sexual assault issues along with clear self incriminating evidence of Trump saying it is ok to grab pussy. What do the white woman fear? Why do they feel they need to place themselves as 2nd class workers to the white man. Why do the white men fear a strong woman? Why do white men fear anything of alternative color other than white? Trump has never apologized for when he took out full page add 20+ years ago over the Central Park Jogger issue where he demanded the death of the five teens wrongly convicted of rap and beating of the young stock broker, even when DNA evidence pointed to the actual person. Trump and the majority of his supporters seem to be the college uneducated white man and woman who think the civil war is not over. The support of Trump seems to be like the parents that refused to believe their child when the child told them their catholic priest has been touching them inappropriately. Trump supporters seem to want to turn a blind eye to the facts of the narcissistic abusive individual. Only until this blows up in the supporters face will they finally come to understand the toxic destructive nature of such an individual. To quote an outstanding assessment from a clinical psychologist, Trump is a multiple divorced adulterer who spews hate speech and clearly wants a cast system posting himself as a superior individual especially to woman. I also had to laugh at the truth of CBS CEO Les Moonves, "I know Trump is bad for America, but he's great for CBS and the ratings, So bring it on!" I admit that our country is racist. xenophobic, fearful and ignorant. This country seems to hate powerful woman. With that said, much has been achieved over the last 100 years and I believe much more will. There are far superior woman who will break that final glass ceiling, not just for woman but for people of all colors, religions and desires. Remember everyone, 4 years will go by fast, Trump will not be able to fulfill most of his promises. We can still move forward and better. Just hope that the last time everything was so solid GOP, 1928, what did they achieve? The Great Depression, not once but twice.

I stream everything and only have internet. If I watch local sports on TV, I use my HD antenna and watch it with commercials that I despise, so I usually do not watch much TV anymore. I love me commercial free Hulu and Netflix. I can wait a day before watching a show I love.

Nope wrong there bucko, I fell asleep in the Diversity video they did that had a monotone husky voiced woman talking. It was the worst video I ever had to watch, but even with falling asleep and hitting my keyboard, I still scored a perfect 100% on the test afterwards. All these videos are pretty much common sense except to those that lack it.

I still find this to be a very ugly and weird car to me.

Or they put you too sleep due to monotone talking. I actually fell asleep and hit my keyboard. They are that bad or that funny at times.

Very cool, what position would it be if you decide to run?

I am speaking of two things, the various reports on ESPN about the NFL match ups this coming weekend. Seahawks and Patriots as one. http://www.espn.com/nfl/ Then what you see today on Sporting News about the NFL considering running fewer ads to improve their low dismal ratings / viewings. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/nfl-tv-ratings-down-reasons-commercials-ads-netflix/1r19b2j6dyhmb129x7u3xoshj7 NFL has averaged 70 commercials per NFL broadcast game. They admit that in today's society with Netflix and HULU having zero commercials or only 3-5 and each one is a 15 second spot, viewership has reached an all time low. I agree, I have come to hate watching NFL games due to how crazy the commercials are, what are your thoughts?

The nature of the beast especially when it is the third shift. I am very happy to see the investments to keep things moving forward by GM. Plus we have as I reported in the Chevy thread the increase in production for the BOLT. Good news to the sad but expected reduction in head count for less desirable products.

Agreed, that almost 4% showing is good for a 3rd candidate. I also wish we had an alternative option. Course if all those people had voted for one or the other things would be very different. Overall, we need true freedom to have an independent party that can run without all the hurdles the established two parties have thrown up. Now how about football, Is the NFL getting crazy or is this the new madness?

Love this latest 2017 GOV report on the Electric auto's and their ranking. So far only 2 listed but more to be added as they get released. 2 listed for 2016. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/evnews.shtml Love the BOLT, 128 City, 110 Highway, 119 combined. Weird is that the BOLT has always been talked as a CUV, yet the gov has it listed as a subcompact car. They have the 2017 BMW i3 as a Small Station wagon but I see it also as a CUV. Wonder if this is how the auto companies filed these auto's?

Hey Drew, I am now at work on my new Windows 10 machine, tried this on chrome, firefox, IE and edge. The story is not purple dotted so as far as I can tell it has been released and on the front page it shows 19 comments and when I click on the story, says 19 comments but does not show anything in the comments section I know I posted first to this but really weird bug..

Trump has broken many laws and the lawsuits are a result of that. Your blindness to his sexual assaults, his own fear of religious groups and profiling to one view fits all continues to show his ignorance. He built a name only, he is incapable of building a business as to why he does not run a real one. He is like a SOCIAL SERVICE that is focused on just himself getting out what he can with putting nothing into the program. Trump is an out of date 60's style dictator. I accept the election results and will see how the next four years go with a totally controlled house and senate by the GOP. The Republirats more than the Demobots are to blame for the last 8 years of getting nothing done. If the rats really wanted to show they could make things happen, they would have reached out across the desk like in the 90's and made deals to get things done. Instead the Tea Party idiots have gone with a my way only approach that has failed. In regards to the protesters. Many are idiots too, like 2000, gore won the popular vote, bush got the electoral vote and like then it is on the backs of the longer living baby boomers. Time to move on and back to auto discussions.

@Wings4Life I am glad you can accept his racism, sexual assault and poor business dealings. I cannot, I have done like you looking past the media and into the details and he is not willing to be transparent about his life. Fact are that he is a name, his businesses were taken over by banks who had the actual skills to run them, those that were not bankrupt. Since he will not open up and be honest, I have to doubt he is a billionaire and more just a millionaire who has abused the system and destroyed many lives. Lying is common in Politics and clearly many have run their own hidden servers and just not gotten caught. Hillary is bad, but I think trump will be worse for the country. I hope I am wrong, but I also hope that those in congress and the senate do not give into his craziness. I wish you all the best as we will all need it. There is no simple fix for the Bush Jr did to this country or Obama or any president back to the 60's. We have debt that has to be paid off, social services that many should be killed off and a defense that needs to be pulled into accountability rather than crazy spending on weapons that have no common sense in today's society.

I feel for you, Hillary has for sure made poor decisions and probably done some white collar crimes. Yet Trump has proven his racist phobia, so your saying it is OK to hate people that are not like you? Your also saying it is OK to sexually harass woman, so your wife, mom, sister, does not matter any guy can do what they want with them? Trump has NOT created anything but a Name. He has failed to build any real business, wealth only acquired by bankruptcy and destruction of other companies. So many other great business men and we end up with a dictator approach racist, sexual assaulting senior that is already senile. Is he an outsider? Yes, Do most if not all of us want change and for once kicking out the established for life political hacks that have done nothing but increased debt over the last 16 years? Yes Trump and Hillary was not the answer, the best anyone can hope for now is a 1 term pony and new options in 2020 that does not include old established people who are not willing to work with others.
