    It was during the downturn; around '09. I really should have picked some up- I actively thought about it. $5K would've got one 2500 shares. At -say- $10/share, that would've been a $20K profit. But I put money on Visa instead. I haven't looked into it, but it is very strange Ford hasn't risen with the tide. If GM is at $35, Ford, one would think, could/should be at at least $20.

    'Turbo 2-banger'???

    From the Detroit Free Press; should answer a number of questions/musings above :

    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?

    You should've bought In when it was $2.xx/share.

    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.

    As even Rivian cautioned tho- a patent does not mean the feature will necessarily see production.

    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!

    Buyers don't.

    Certainly not a peugeot.

    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’.

    What brands sell only at sticker price again?
  18. balthazar
    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)

    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.
  20. balthazar
    ^ 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.

    Philadelphia warehouse built in 1851. Looks completely terrifying. Demolished circa 1969 for I-95 Expressway routing.

    No doubt the sound of a connecting rod blowing thru the oil pain is distinctive, too.

    • 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?
  24. balthazar
    "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."

    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.
