Nissan News: Rumorpile: Nissan To Debut U.S. Spec Qashqai At Detroit
Pretty much like I am so over the Coupe Car craze. RIght now all cars are dogs and the whole Coupe style is so over done, they can crush them all and I would not weep a tear. On the SUV/CUV side, would love a new updated Trailblazer SS AWD and an EV AWD CUV to go with the BOLT / VOLT.

Random Thoughts Thread
Very sad and her mom died today. I am sure the stress of losing one's child did not help. 2016 seems to be closing with a number of people dieing. George Michael also died, This week is not closing out well for people. Sadly her own Alcoholism and substance abuse took it's toll. She did not handle the fame well in the early years. Still sad that we lost her and her mother before the year closed out. I do wonder how they will address it in the follow up SW movie to the Force Awakens.

Self imposed exile from C and G
True, and Yes, my apologies to the OP and anyone else, I have just heard so many poor me stories lately from people who choose to go this route and do not achieve their dreams and then cry a river. My own son is a Graphic Design graduate who runs a group at a high tech company. Bachelors of Graphic Design. I just never think of those careers you listed as people doing that work are focused, driven and productive. It's the ones such as a young man I know who's parents supported him in getting his BA in Art History, then went on to get a masters in Asian Art and every time I see him he is always complaining about no jobs. Worthless education to my way of thinking. I like the young man and am friends with his father but would have never supported my son if he had wanted to study such a field.

Self imposed exile from C and G
OK, Name some, other than the rare 1/10th of 1 % artist, I have yet to find a Liber Art degree that can insure employment that can actually pay off the crazy amounts of money people have spent on Liberal Art degrees. Unless your born with a silver or gold spoon in your mouth so you do not have to figure out how to pay off your college education or how to support yourself, I have yet to find any that truly can support ones self let alone a family. These are the ones that lived life high, did minimal work in college and now have 6 figures of debt, work at some bar or other low paying job and cry about how unfair life is as they cannot afford to pay their student loans. Same kind of lifer students I have run into in Europe and the elsewhere. People complain about quality paying jobs and yet never think about the kind of education they really need to make a decent living. Nothing against liberal arts degrees, but they rarely ever pay back what they cost.

VW News: Rumorpile: Volkswagen Resurrects the Microbus for An Electric Vehicle
Interesting, sound like an EV, whether an ICE could happen would depend on if the MEB platform once stretched kept the ability to allow this., If the only focus on the EV then I would say no to the ICE, but that would limit it to the world markets.

MT: Lincoln Continental 3.0T First Test
Good Link, shows GM does need to look at trimming production, but also I would agree that they are stocking units to deal with line change over for new models. Common approach to dealing with changes that will have production offline and yet allows them to still have product on the sales lot to sell. Worth keeping an eye on, but not a big deal at this time.
