I think of small/mini trucks as akin to the car within it's segment with the by-far smallest trunk/interior room. I've yet to hear anyone brag/be happy about that.

3.6% is nothing, a 'standard wiggle' that happens with a variety of regular factors. No commercial product sees uninterrupted, continual upward growth. But financial analysts will point to such with loud fingers, spewing 'significance' & proclaiming it is 'proof' of something. Reading elsewhere on the subject- while EU EVs "nearly doubled" in February, EVs were still under 2% of the market there. Also, making overall judgements on the 'EU market' of 27 countries is probably disingenuous, as the individual numbers are all over the scale, again; for various commonplace reasons. +36% to –15%.

Ranger, S-10, LUV, Courier, nissan, toyota…. all the small pickups from the '70s into the '90s disappeared. There's a reason...

Drove past this place Sat- going to have to go back & check it out ~

What consumer would bother buying a rebadged global small truck if another mainstream brand original was available? A mitshubishi pick-up could only move product by radically undercutting in price/ cutting features/capability. Guess where I'm going is; it wouldn't work in the USDM.

Why? What's the point?

If toyoyo's is circa 52 and Cadillac's is circa 57, I don't see it budging because of ATP's alone.

Takin a road trip today to the B-O-P show/drags at Atco Raceway.

Cadillac's ABA has fallen, slowly, for decades. I remember first reading that 'Cadillac will be no more because it's buyers are too old' in 1970's articles. BTW- mercedes is within 4 years of Cadillac's ABA, and both are within like 5 of toyota. That's a pretty damned ancient & invalid platitude you trotted out, Reg. BTW, where is 'Muhrica', somewhere in Central America?

And if the answer is 'CT6' over '740i' - does that tell you how badly BMW botched that?

How do you think the 'more China-centric' approach has shaped the mercedes s-class, where fully 1 out of every 2 are sold globally?

Every G8 or last gen GTO I see is immaculate.

Original (and only) 4-door coupe- the floral coach coupe ~

Original 'coupe-sedan' ?

How do you think 'more China-centric' will manifest itself product-wise?

Profitability has been nearly unobtainable for Tesla since the Model S debuted- that doesn't seem to have any affect on it's longevity, for some inexplicable reason. What's probably a bigger issue is the drastic decline in sales. U.S. Q1 2019 was down 61%, yet go find that number published anywhere.

Personally, I drive to provide consumerism (sole proprietor business).

Looks like a real hooligan, and you gotta admire his 'can do (without)' attitude ~
