Industry News: Trump's Tariff Threat Turned Out To Be A Farce
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
He'll probably demand a Nobel prize for it. -
In the spirit of 'the' I can add this...2019 colors not extensive for the CT6, but I like this blue gray..'shadow'.

Note that it says 'a PREVIOUS poster', not 'the PREVIOUS poster'. So the Mustang is definitely from a previous post.

Took a drive yesterday out into an area I hadn't been before (Norwalk and Milan, Ohio), saw a variety of interesting older cars..several 30s Model A hot rods rolling along (must have been a car show they were coming from/going to) , a sharp modded dark blue '68-72 Nova w/ an outlaw style hood, a pair of early 60s Studebaker 4drs in front of an old, closed gas station, a clean blue '64 Olds Cutlass 2dr ht, and a sharp white '73 Mustang convertible. Visited the Thomas Edison childhood home and museum in Milan, Ohio...neat little town w/ several museums. Then went up to Marblehead Lighthouse (been there several times) and out to East Harbor State Park and Beach in Marblehead--very windy and blustery on Lake Erie yesterday, but sunny. Saw a clean white '66 Impala 2dr ht near the beach. Ended the day at Firelands Winery in Sandusky for wine tasting...picked up a few bottles for the stash. Didn't see anything too interesting in the parking lot, though. https://www.firelandswinery.com

They have tried being an international product and sell abroad for years now, but it just doesn't seem to work.

Problem is if GM were to build something like that it would take too long to come to market (5 years from now?) and when it did the market will have moved on to the Next Big Thing... like the mid engined Corvette, which may be coming for model year 2020 when it should have been out 20-30 years ago if GM had wanted to play in that niche.

I don’t think AM has any identity issues at all. Luxury GTs remain their main niche, though they are expanding into mid engined supercars.

It's a lot of power for a 4cyl, but it's still just a 4cyl.

Your comment made it sound like AM had no racing history at all. And the comment about 'since Corvette was racing a LOOOOONG time BEFORE Aston Martin' is factually incorrect, since AM was racing before there ever was a Corvette. Facts count. Anyway, participation in international racing does add a certain prestige or appeal to a brand, whether that conveys into tangible sales numbers is questionable, but it does have it's place.

Actually, Aston Martin has a history in racing going back in the 40s...and won LeMans in 1959 w/ Carroll Shelby... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_DB3

Which I doubt would never happen..GM likes those generic FWD/transverse engine CUVs so they can use the same platform for multiple models at 4 brands. I can't imagine them doing transverse V8 again, but they do have a history of that.

Industry News: Trump Raises Tariffs on All Mexican Goods
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
Why should we believe anything you say? What is your proof for your statements? Your comments appear to be right-wing propaganda. -
Read somewhere that the GM Parma stamping plant made W-body floor pans. Drove by it yesterday and today, seems to still be in operation. Wonder what they make there now.

Someone's old time murder room, then.

Looks like a scene from an old b&w horror movie.

Chrysler News: FCA-Renault Merger Moves Forward
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chrysler
Saw an article this evening that the deal is off, FCA pulled out. https://jalopnik.com/fca-abruptly-backs-out-of-merger-negotiations-with-rena-1835283914?utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow&utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&fbclid=IwAR2IL8ZnzdpzCsAJszkZJnA-K8L2SezeyWgWE0DTvTBPrhYgfJNymKbpMC0&/setsession -

On the 480 this morning saw a car hauler loaded with Tesla Model 3s heading east...most seemed to be black.

Industry News: Trump Raises Tariffs on All Mexican Goods
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
Yes, incomprehensible. Trump was a reality TV show host, failed real state developer and 'entrepreneur' with a very shady past, who pandered to the religious right, white nationalists, racists, etc. Hillary was Secretary of State, a Senator, very well educated and accomplished. No comparison. -

Actually, it was totally implied from what you said. Pretty clear. -

I normally never use cruise control, but this sounds like it would actually be useful. -

Ah, only in it for yourself and you don't give a fuck for the future of the country and its citizens, or for humanity at large. I see.
