Quoted for truth. As much as I complain about several other countries...i trust China even less. Given the way they treated the Greeks, i can see why. I still respect their politics more than ours or Japans though. If they could build cars that were not horribly expensive to fix....they might be on to something.

He will settle for any kind of woodie, actually. Or interesting....At that point, Chevy Sonic or Spark might be just as interesting... Honest automotive journalism.... Fair enough...I thought Hoover (being gone 90 years) would be a fairly generic topic.

I don't feel a lot of sympathy for either side. Will happily debate you on this if the politics section gets re opened. Hamas is also killing children without a whole lot of remorse....go back to my original comment above about how killing children is immoral. It is immoral to have someone step onto a bus with bombs strapped to their chest and ball bearings laced with rat poison (to kill the maximum number of people possible.) Hamas had no problem with this....or with other atrocities. Hamas is beneath contempt. I totally denounce Hamas. Hezbollah is not real high on my list of favorites either, nor is Boko Haram. I would be in favor of pulling both humanitarian aid to the Palestinians (they voluntarily voted to have Hamas represent them) and aid to the Israelis. For what it is worth...I do not believe in foreign aid to anybody other than brief humanitarian aid in a time of crisis...food, blankets, medical supplies and the like. I would feel the same way about Canada as I do about Israel...or Pakistan....and the same way about Finland for that matter. The atrocities of Israel and Hamas are both well documented. Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky are both Jewish and fairly rational on this matter....IIRC Finkelstein's parents were both killed in the Holocaust...they might be worth a good read.

Since the styling cues come more from a vacuum cleaner than a car....why not a Hoover version? And since we are talking about re opening politics...and since Hoover was by all counts a mediocre president....and no one here will spend a dime on this steaming pile....why not the Hoover version?

Either killing children is morally wrong or it isn't. Article in my news feed made me want to throw up this morning...two teenage girls were adopting pets, and then posting selfies of them torturing the pets to death, shooting the pets, mutilating them. We look at these girls as unfit for decent society. But when the Obama administration gives weapons and aid to rebels in Syria that behead a 12 year old boy as an apostate...or the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations kill civilians (including children en masse) with drones....(Obama more than Bush, Trump more than Obama....) or we give a hotbed of Islamic radicalism 3 billion dollars in aid a year (Pakistan) or the apartheid country of Israel 4 billion in aid a year (killing journalists, aid workers, and children) or give the radical Saudis nuclear weapons technology...or give the radical government in Egypt Billions in aid... Methinks we should worry a lot more about what Washington does to actual people...it's much more morally wrong than what these girls did. The list is really, really long. Testing nuclear weapons with soldiers/Sailors on nearby ships like our government did after world war two...not giving aid and medical care (proper aid and medical care, and counseling) to our veterans would be another. How many veterans commit suicide every day....pretty high number... Back to looking at GTO pics. Washington really sucks. Benghazi was bad...but taking out Gaddafi was worse. ISIS was not in Libya before we did that. We have zero remorse for the pain we inflict on others. Its kind of like the 2020 election...the fun will be watching half the country loose its crap on Facebook, regardless of outcome.

And that should not be a problem. I have learned from a lot of people, and changed my minds on all sorts of issues. Someone that is only right ten percent of the time is still right ten percent of the time. Adult enough to think for myself....and also adult enough to evaluate ideas based on merit, not on rhetoric behind them.

We need to discuss actual ideas and actual policies. If we re open politics. we could limit it to actual discussion of how political actions affect the auto industry. For instance, how many vendors in Mexico would have been affected had the tariffs actually gone into effect? Alt right is such a vague term...both of you need to be more specific on actual policy and desirability of actual policy outcomes IMHO.

Kind of a pathetic list, Beetle is cancelled, Golf production is being cut way back, Yaris is a pathetic car that sells in small numbers, Versa and Versa note are penalty boxes extraordinaire, A class is unimpressive, Accent is also a penalty box, Cruze and fusion were discontinued because GMa nd Ford couldn't figure out how to build them profitably, Fiat 500 is one of the most miserable vehicles built, and at the bottom of even this list.... And the QX 50 has to be one of the least attractive modern vehicles. Blazer is way over priced for what it is...seriously. Given the problems all of my friends seem to be experiencing with Rams...Build the few performance Golf models in Germany to sell in small numbers here....and pretty much crap can the entire list. To end on a positive note...neat video with a cool old Ford truck....back to cars.

Why a Mexican built German GTI would replace my Mexican built German Beetle Type R when it comes time to trade cars. Mexico and Germany are run by adults, the United States, not so much. We need to re open the politics section. the real drama in the world is so much more fun to post about than KIA's latest design nightmare or how some GM motor lacks torque... Bombing a doctors without borders hospital when we had the exact co ordinates of that hospital...was a pretty crappy move on the part of the Obama administration. https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/what-we-do/news-stories/news/qa-bombing-msfs-hospital-kunduz-afghanistan

At the risk of getting banned or worse, both Obama and Trump should be looked at as war criminals. Zero respect for the office of the president as a post world war two institution. Absolutely zero. I feel the same way about Kennedy, Truman, Reagan, Clinton, Both Bushes. Feel the same way about Joe Biden. Any hope for decency or leadership out of the white house is a fools errand IMHO. Washington is pretty much the absolute bottom of the moral Universe. I absolutely agree that he did not deserve it. He belongs in prison for a number of things....just like Trump. We should dynamite mount Rushmore, it is a moral and visual desecration to a sacred Indian mountain. Making it in the first place was wrong, keeping it there is wrong also. Dynamite for the win. The sooner the better.

I am sure OCN finds plenty of beef himself. It's electrifying when it happens, he just won't admit it.

And then there is the moral cost of ICE. I am unwilling to put American service men and women in Harms way for cheap oil.
