    Be nice to see, actually!

    ...and the other four would be....? In all seriousness, I cannot see the appeal here.
  3. A Horse With No Name
    They need to update their flagship....badly....hope this works out well for them!
  4. A Horse With No Name
    Thank you, captain obvious.....! (Not meant with the sound of sarcasm that reads with.....but FCA is not just neglecting new product they are actively working towards their own demise....)

    Do you sell VW's at work? E golf has technical issues, would find VW battery tech suspect. I hope like crazy VW survives, I love their products. One positive is that they are not at this time offering zero percent to move iron...

    http://www.bbc.com/news/business-38247779 The mess in Europe is getting deeper also, not getting shallower....

    They are also not currently selling small crossovers, the whole SUV lineup is dated and unappealing, they have clung to the beetle and CC far to long, and they are selling cars at fire sale prices. While I do not expect them to die tomorrow, they are by no means doing what they should to pull ahead in the US auto market. They are still thinking too much like Germans, and trying to force a German way of thinking on the US auto market. They need to act like they are serious about the US auto market if they are going to make a dent. Yes, sales are up, but up over a year ago when we were two months past diesel gate... Really serious work and a change in attitude need to happen at VW if they ever want to be more than one or two percent of the domestic US auto market.

    An additional good link on Air France 447.... http://www.flyingmag.com/technique/accidents/air-france-447-crash-final-report-points-pilot-error-confusion

    Or at least some sort of rational recovery plan in place...VW reminds me of Air France 447, where the pilots through simple errors took a perfectly flyable plane and made basic aviation errors, killing everyone on board. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447 VW is not even making basic changes that would rationally ensure their survival. I really love the Golf Alltrack, but one model plus the GTI is not enough to carry the US market. Local dealer where I bought the Jetta was down 25-30 cars a month over where they were ten or fifteen years ago before diesel gate, things have obviously not improved since.

    Thanks for the link...

    Skoda does not have the baggage VW does, this might actually make sense...
  12. A Horse With No Name
    You betcha!
  13. A Horse With No Name
    I hear ya.... Would love to actually be able to afford a pickup as a third vehicle...
  14. A Horse With No Name
    Ohhhh Yes!
  15. A Horse With No Name
    Right now with kids in college my budget would be more amenable to a used Volt....but I need to play with the Bolt configuration tool on the web site...
  16. A Horse With No Name
    The only thing that killed the Volt for us last time over the TDI is back seat room. Since my 6' 2" son is 2400 miles away as a Freshman at Pacific Lutheran, that is no longer as much of an issue.
  17. A Horse With No Name
    I think that will come in a few years...
  18. A Horse With No Name
    Good.....! Back to discussing actual cars. Really like the Volt, and glad that the Volt is picking up in sales even though fuel is cheap.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Love the TLX and the Z06, again, nice list!
  20. A Horse With No Name
    You are very welcome!

    Think of it like being a high school senior and having an eighth grader run his mouth because he wants attention from an older boy. Best thing you can do is ignore the kid and he will go away. Do not wish to say any more, but surreal I do enjoy your content and wish for you to hang around.

    I find avoiding carbs to be extremely helpful. sneaking a piece of pizza at lunch is usually about all of the carbs I have in a day... Also, I find getting off of my arse and going to my work shop to get things done when i get home from work helps me feel better.
  23. A Horse With No Name
    The ignore function works well here at C and G....! Owen, one of my fellow adjunct debate coaches at the university where I work, has a Volt. He very rarely buys fuel and saves $35-60 a week in gas. Very nice car as he has very small children....he and his wife love it...makes a great road trip car as well.
  24. A Horse With No Name
    2016 was the painful year of stupid that would not end in so many ways...hope things start going better for you! indeed!
  25. A Horse With No Name
    I will plus one your plus one....
