    Lost customers are a good thing not a bad thing if they take you away from your primary profitable business model. That is why I do side work with electrical and carpentry but not landscaping, jewelry repair or catering. Deviating is not always a good thing.
  2. A Horse With No Name
    Fantastic news. I did not think they would get to this point.
  3. A Horse With No Name
    But why context for a lower profit section of the market when you dominate a higher profit segment? Selling fewer more highly profitable Benz products seem like a winner to me. If you could sell XT4 and XT5 all day long why would you higher with cruze?
  4. A Horse With No Name
    You give no reason Family crossover could not be marketed as Benz. Zero. Smart does not have any positive cred to keep the name going. Also...just because a segment is profitable...mit doesn't mean every car maker should compete in every segment. By the above logic Subaru and Mazda should have an F150 competitor. They should not. The Tundra is a relatively lame vehicle...and exactly what happens when car makers try to be everything to everyone. Even Lincoln learned this...the Blackwood was not a successful truck.

    And Cary forward decades of baggage of the Smart name.
  6. A Horse With No Name
    I still disagree. Ben's sells more luxury vehicles than anyone else in the U S. Also at a high profit margin...why should they copy less successful companies?
  7. A Horse With No Name
    I really see you more as a midsize truck guy.
  8. A Horse With No Name
    Why would they not just sell an equinox sized vehicle as a Benz?
  9. A Horse With No Name
    That thing would be wicked as a tracked vehicle....as in tracks like a tank of bulldozer.
  10. A Horse With No Name
    What do you have against people from India? Right...because the market is just crying out for a Smart based Silverado competitor.

    I do think there is bias but I also think Asian cars are more reliable. Were I to recommend a car to a friend I would recommend an Asian model in most cases. And I would always steer people away from Ford products based on my internal bias.

    It does come across as very driver focussed and used friendly. Also...you have to love c and g. GM drops half a billion dollars to develop a new product and one page in we have lost interest in the vehicle and are talking about not women. Granted the women in question look better from behind than the caddy...
  13. A Horse With No Name
    Not sure. Seeing that list makes me want another Miata.
  14. A Horse With No Name
    Also...one can get decades of fine service out of a domestic or European car.
  15. A Horse With No Name
    Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong...and....wrong. The time to let it due a painful death is a decade plus ago when it first came here.

    Given how slowly the Camaro is selling here sending them to another continent seems rational. Meanwhile GM does well in the Chinese market while Ford Falters. I will happily allow the blue oval boys to dominate the tiny Australian pony car market while GM goes nuts in a market with a billion people.
  17. A Horse With No Name
    Still...domestics need to do better...as do the Europeans
  18. A Horse With No Name
    Right...BMW anything other than run screaming is pretty much delusional. I can buy Ford ranking that low. Buick have in my experience been pretty reliable.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    We had a similar car for my wife.
  20. A Horse With No Name
    The Chinese already own plants here in Ohio. They might as well own everything else.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    Sooner rather than later.
  22. A Horse With No Name
    How did you ever fit in a Chevy LUV? Just have had one hell of a sunroof. Guy sitting next to me in the training class I am taking is still the proud owner of the 65 Plymouth he and his dad restored back when he was in high school.
  23. A Horse With No Name
    I doubt they will sell many on the Metra as it is only available with GLI trim package.
  24. A Horse With No Name
    I actually really like that.
  25. A Horse With No Name
    Sorry about your Honda Drew. When are you going to finally unload that? Or they pulled it because pedestrians, shrubbery and curbs on set were not safe from the voracious appetite of the mustang.
