A Horse With No Name

In all seriousness, I think this has political implications, but I do not want to take this down a politics rabbit hole. If Germany thinks FCA is getting treated with special provisos for their cheating, this may not be a happy thing in terms of relations with MS Merkel.

Very appropriate bus.... If you didn't like the Suburban/Avalanche in the other thread.... TV's in the doors, how original..

Notice that the Ford is RWD, not 4WD....

And living like the Jetsons in five. I just want my robotic maid to have realistic lady bits and we are all set.

In an ideal world they would be garage mates Love both of them...that Jag is awesome!

You missed the joke entirely...look up electro motive division.... ...and actually I did not realize the general sold EMD in 2005...the Bolt it is then...

GM makes products for people your height...check out the electro motive division, or EMD. Good thing is those products pull like a freight train and turn like they are on rails.

Tasteless in America, complete with Camo and a Trump bumper sticker... Also in America...Ford Tempo 3 wheeler... I think I will take Japans bad mods to ours... This is Japanese, improvised race seat in a Miata...

Get ready for pics of Crushed Ram trucks posted over at Allpar...this will not end well.

In your constant praise of the Benz luxury cars and their number one sales slot...you kind of remind me of the crazy Pentecostal lady who leads worship at one of those churches where they speak in tongues and handle snakes. All she wants to do is praise the name of Jesus, and all you want to do is praise the S class.

In my alternative universe i actually buy an SUV. Would really like a Jeep Renegade or Compass actually, don't laugh too hard. In my other alternative universe I am still autocrossing and can afford a new Miata, so a new 17 MX5. In yet another alternative universe, I am done with cars and want an utterly practical vehicle for hauling tools, lumber, and small items. Enter a Subaru Forester. In another alternative universe, the Sedan guy in me takes off and I ahve a TLX or a Buick LaCrosse in the garage. In the real universe we live in, high probability of a GTI or BRZ joining the C and G fleet via my garage. In my unrealistic universe, I am 20 years younger, able to drive really well, and am competing in a Formula ford in SCCA races. If the world were as I really want it to be, I would own a vintage pick up truck... In my dysfunctional alternative universe I am divorced, no one likes me, broke, unhappy, and driving a rusty Ford Tempo....life could be better, ti could be worse, I am happy with my life as it is.

I do not think the auto market is just so simple as "throw more crossovers at it..."

If that BMW was a woman.... Not sure if it is coming or going...

No I do not....let me see if I can find it...

From a logical standpoint it is called special pleading, something that seems to happen a lot... Only if one uses a German rod and reel....otherwise one is slacking... Benz and BMW could cut themselves down to Cadillac levels of model availability and it would barely hurt them....it might even help them, at least in the US market.

Hell yes!

Something strong! I don't know if they ever will either.... Only because of the very rare AMG BMW.... CT6 is actually much nicer, IMHO. 6 Series Gran Coupe is indeed a looker. ...and getting softer and less desirable all of the time...sort of like some of the aging members here at C and G...

I absolutely love it!
