  1. From the Detroit Free Press; should answer a number of questions/musings above :
  2. No; of course she's allowed to be passionate. I don't question that, just her World Tour / speaking engagements. Climate scientists (I assume) have gone thru some sort of 4-year program in order to become a professional on the matter. Isn't she still in high school?
  3. You should've bought In when it was $2.xx/share.
  4. It is a bit puzzling how much attention she's getting; I'm not aware what graduate courses she's successfully taken to be any kind of expert.
  5. As even Rivian cautioned tho- a patent does not mean the feature will necessarily see production.
  6. I don't think it really matters as to the reason. Just about all automakers are dialing up caution; quarter after quarter after quarter have only show incremental growth, so it's logical from a business case. - - - - - Meanwhile, here's a spy shot of an S-class with mid-cycle autonomous 'upgrades' : Looks great- very classy!
  7. The average off the MSRP of a brand new 2020 BMW 3-series according to Trucar is $3500. Yet I’m not seeing where BMW is ‘pricing their cars stupidly’ or ‘killing their resale’.
  8. Do you really. - - - - -
  9. What brands sell only at sticker price again?
  10. Blazers by me, difference between MSRP & advertised price :: $3300 $2400 $2400 $2600 $2600 [about 6 more like this] most expensive and the only AWD Premier: $5200 (on a sticker of $52K)
  11. The majority of Blazers at my local dealer are $ 34-35. There’s 1 $30K and a few in the mid $40s. Not seeing a major price disparity WRT hyundai.
  12. ^ newsflash: Blazer starts at $28,800. Neither Mary nor anyone else is forcing anyone to buy a top-trim/fully loaded version of ANY vehicle. Same way hyundai isn’t forcing anyone to pay $40 grand for a $25K sante fe.
  13. Philadelphia warehouse built in 1851. Looks completely terrifying. Demolished circa 1969 for I-95 Expressway routing.
  14. No doubt the sound of a connecting rod blowing thru the oil pain is distinctive, too.
  15. • Of course you would. • Turbos aren't a high dollar advancement. My son's Sonic has a turbo, in fact all 3 Chevys here are turbocharged. Chevy's been building turbocharged vehicles since 1962. • How the hell could they lose money at $90K?? Are they stuffing $50K in the glovebox?
  16. "B-but a Motor Trend article said a senior GM employee said they originally wanted the Corvette to start at $80K, so anything under that has to mean they're losing money."
  17. NSX is less advanced than the C8; it might only cost $45K to build. MSRP is $157K. Even with the $20K off a '19, they have to be raking it in on the NSX, even at 2018's 170 units sold.
  18. ^ what isn’t on modern vehicles?
