Something that clicked in my mind; checked and verified :

^ Right, but commonly a truck does one leg of the journey empty, and the other loaded. ;)

I read the release twice; it did not specifically state that. Did I miss it twice?

BMW would operate a LOT leaner if they dropped the i3, i8, 2 series, 6 series, 7 series, X2, X4, X6 and the entire Mini brand. Profits would double.

No killing in the above chart- BMW is up a mere 250 units as a brand, Aug-to-Aug. Only CUV doing any work is the X3.

Is that 110 miles loaded, unloaded or somewhere in between? Not a game-changing range. Wonder how much this adds in price to a gas version?

Wow- a second month-to-month circa 20% decline? Maybe a lot of MB loyalists were simply on vacation in August. Like, the entire month.

1922 ~

Look, would I object to a crew cab 3/4-ton truck that got 35 MPG? Of course not- no one would. Noone buys vehicles BECAUSE they get relatively low MPG. In some cases an argument could be made that CAFE gives those people who want to buy a relatively very high MPG vehicle a choice that might not otherwise be there. That said, for it to bring the least pain & cost, it has to be incremental and obtainable, not a 15 MPG jump in 6 years sort of thing.

A mix of blandness and overwraught Lego-esque assembly. Not cohesive at all. All the black plastic makes it look cheaper & cheaper, and the 'transformer grille' looks like it'll pop off at the first good chuckhole. Does appear to be better assembled than the last lexus hi-res pics I looked thru on this site.

Ugh- mine came in @ $48K.

Ugh- too small! :D Current fleet: 120", 123", 134", 153"

Was driving up to my sister's place this afternoon, glanced at the dash clock, it read 1:11.

^ That's a modern day photoshop, my friend. Advertising just wasn't "there" in 1957.

Unrestored, 29K mile '59 Series 62 convertible. Asking $195,000.

Every few days, when I randomly check a clock, it's on "11:11". Somebody's trying to tell me something... - - - - -

History is littered with a number of staggeringly quick total failures of single-person vehicles. SOLO : $3.68 /share. That's where Tesla stock should be (or at least below $50).

$62K MSRP

Like the article states; it's common automaker practice to tear down competitor's products. That said, Daimler appears a bit shadier than other OEMs in how they go about it. A 'paper company' nursing facility??

Stopped by a local GMC dealer- they had a '19 Sierra Denali crew cab/short bed out front, a darkish red, 6.2L/10-spd, 22-in rims, MultiGate, absolutely gorgeous from all angles.

You sound like you don't think that's a real thing.

A MONSTROUSLY huge 'pass'.
