Already dated- could be a 2005.

Hmmm- Stinger sales were only 17K- do you really think adding 2 more doors to the Camaro is going to raise it's 51K sales? Perhaps these hip-shot product ideas need a bit more reflection time, eh?

Veloster sold 10K units in the US in 2018. Golf/ Golf GTI/ GOlf R32 only sold 41K. Camaro sold 51K. Do you think hyundai is pondering enlarging the Veloster, adding a V8 from the genesis, increasing the starting price by $8K and hope to get closer to the Camaro in sales? Or are they just "wondering why"?

^ Well, they've already made the investment in the FE architecture - it certainly wouldn't need a complete re-engineering. IF Chevy is going only with the ME version I agree; it will lose a cornerstone of it's iconic image (not that it 'looks furrin'). IF the C8 is only ME, I guarantee sales will settle out markedly lower than currently. There's just not a lot of appeal in ME cars. - - - - - Much tighter overhang than typical for the genre :

Shouldn't the top one at least look more expensive than the bottom one? I mean, if badges are everything...

It appears Chevy has avoided the dreaded FWD-esque hugely overhanging mega snouts the Italian mid-engined cars are so frequently burdened with- that's a huge plus. And if it has even 75% of the C7's stylistic mojo it's going to look pretty incredible; you guys know I favor vintage design but the C7 is easily tied (for me) with '56-57. But there's nothing that really stands out in the ME supercar arena- the platform configuration locks these cars into a very tight stylistic range. Generally- and personally-speaking, I burned out on this genre when I was like 18 yrs old. Lamborghini, which I kinda like, has been twiddledicking the same 1970 design ever since. And once a honda has an ME car, can anyone really get excited? My question is, although there's a "last C7" defined, is it 100% certain there'll be no FE C8 variant alongside the ME C8? Because that'll be the most disappointing thing this next generation brings, IMO.

That's it?? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Not worth going into. No idea on the fate of the Packard. - - - - - First shark fin antenna; '51 GM LeSabre ~

^ In yer town, dfelt. Not a good story, tho. - - - - - Very unusual B-59 scenario- front cushion (uncompressed!) is only 9" off floor. '59 was last year of flat front floors in GM cars, for this reason. It's like sitting on a chaise lounge.

^ There were a number of export Corvettes built, including RHD conversions, to a whole bunch of countries in the C1 & C2 era. - - - - - Stunning interior : '60 Electra 225 ~

What would be 'trendsetting' is a CUV "coupe" that actually sells.

'56-57 Corvette. Note right-hand drive. Not a flipped image: 'ICE' is correct in background, and fuel filler is on correct left side. Not sure if this was a factory built export or what, but interesting all the same.

Nuttin' yet- sometime in the next 2 months I expect.

Who saw a start-up in a repurposed GM plant with a rebadged Lotus eventually upseating the c-class in sales??

I did a job in a Section 8 condo last year and the occupant had a big flat screen TV hanging off the wall (circa 55"). Careful, you might talk me into getting another flip phone! ;) But you are very much correct on this.

• Don't feed the Psychological Bears. • People should save more, esp those who believe a recession is rumbling down the 'pike. Lesser refunds is a GOOD thing (and on other counts, too). OK; so Big Flat TV sales don't spike; it'll all work out in the end.

Smaller wheels & better integrated flares, then build it- I agree! Needs to have a solid wall bed option, too. I like this a 1000 times better than the Wrangulator.

With the tax code as convoluted & voluminous as it is, it's pretty much impossible to 'tell the whole story' and there will ALWAYS be exceptions. While some people may owe more due to deduction changes, one can still itemize if their itemizing is higher than the S.D.. No longer allowed is 'miscellaneous', such as tax prep fees, investment management fees (a new tax on the 'rich', right?) and unreimbursed employee expenses- difficult to qualify for last year as it was. Another discontinued deduction is that of home equity loan interest- that'll affect some negatively. Of course, in ANY scenario- someone has to get bitten. The majority, I would think from looking at the info I saw, will see more money in their pocket. The emphasis on refunds in misleading to the whole picture.

7 tax brackets, with slightly altered income tiers. A given person may have moved from one bracket to another, but you'd have to have been at the very top of one bracket & gotten a decent raise. Sure; that happened... but they would've been bumped to the next bracket under the old tiers too, and paid 3% more tax on top of that. If your household made -say- $65K, your standard deduction doubled to $24K, and you rate slipped slightly by 3%. That's pretty good bottom line. But you should have adjusted your withholdings to reflect that 3% lower rate, or your owed tax is -yes- going to go up; you 'made' more.
