'51-52 Pontiac Chieftan Catalina 2-dr hardtop, solid unrestored, sitting.

Yeah- it's rough on the eyes alright. Chevy showed a concept capable of 0-60 in the 2 sec range and a 210 MPH top end, but it's slipped below the waters of recollection for most, because it really wasn't very visually appealing. The 1960 CERV 1. Sold for $1.3M last year.

Just take the divider out of the BMW grille and exchange the badging for kia emblems.

It's BMW- they show concept after concept after concept and only ever put out reguritations of everything they already produce. This car is a mess of disharmonious lines, but no surprise- as BMW (production) design is pretty much asleep at the wheel.

And it's more than that- short of cancelling numerous vehicle lines, OEMs are going to have to use economic pressure to get people into smaller & smaller vehicles to swing the corporate average. I don't see 5-10% being enough to do that. 7.5% on a $34K vehicle is only $2550. Spread out over payments of 60 (or 72 or 84 or 96) months, that's nothing.

'68 Shelby GT 500 convertible, gold w/ black stripes, sure looked original, mint condition. Only 402 built, one just sold at BJ for $330K.

^ So there's only a 10% split in that poll between 'for' and 'against'. Interesting.

You have confused terms above. 'Nationalized' in this case is completely synonymous with 'controlled'. - - - - - The Jewish Virtual Library's review of the topic : https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ford-motor-company-nbsp-and-the-third-reich

I've read quite a bit on Henry Ford over the last 20+ years- I done far more than 'a short search'. But one has to be careful what we attribute merely by association of name. There was forced labor in the Ford plant in Germany, but who controlled that factory and who instituted that practice? "It was a Ford plant, therefore Henry Ford is responsible" is not going to hold up on face value, especially in times of imperialism/war. "But Henry Ford had anti-semetic views in the 1920s, therefore he must've approved the practice" won't either. The Cologne plant was nationalized by Germany in the 1930s. https://www.upi.com/Nazi-atrocities-at-Ford-Werke-studied/36841007666227/

Just because person H likes aspects of Person F, does not mean Person F feels equally toward Person H. The 'framed picture of Ford hung in Hitler's office' is trotted out ad nauseam to attempt to portray complicity by Ford with Hitler. Ford didn't give it to Hitler/hang it on his wall. Regardless of any entity's intent, the Ford business history stands by itself as an amazing example of industrial might. Anyone could do almost anything by studying Ford's business, including, unfortunately, the Nazi's. The medal was awarded in 1938.

Hey Howard- I check in here basically daily- yes. Your truck sure is purty! Mine, not nearly so, but it goes. I'm in central NJ, near New Brunswick. I'd be happy to meet up & talk shop. ventiport(AT)verizon.net

Lucid Air concept is 2 inches lower than the '18 Impala, and it's only 189" long. It's within a few inches of a Tesla Model 3.

The E-TRQ is optional on the '19 RAM ($1995), so undoubtedly it'll be optional on the smaller truck.

I've known about this 'old car' for some years, but this year the tarp shredded itself and revealed what was underneath; a '53 Buick Special 2-dr hardtop.

One of the main demographics for AD vehicles is supposedly the elderly, but they are going to be the LEAST likely to accept such a scenario. AD is going to have a WORSE take rate than EVs over the same time period. OEMs should focus on the EV obstacle first, THEN turn to AD... but always with the reality that it'll never become mainstream.Numbers from C&G December 2017 YTD charts : c-class : 20,669 3-series : 59,449 (Images are down again right now- can't double-check, but thtose were the numbers I scribbled on a piece of paper). Cubical : Then, once again; none of us would know about it. Me, I've convinced such a claim was never made privately, either.
