    Interesting from today...... ["For the vast majority of banks in the United States, they're not selling anything," Bove said. "If JPM can't sell loans because nobody is interested in buying them, it means people are not buying products, it means the economy is not moving at a fairly rapid pace. All that stuff gets pulled into it. The bottom line is business is not good and that the stocks are not doing well."]

    So, about 11 years ago, I started talking about how the economy was unstable and Something Bad® was going to happen. That was 4 to 6 months before Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. I wasn't the only one who saw it either.... some finance guy at Ford saw the writing on the wall and that's why they mortgaged everything before the crash hit. There is enough going on right now that I feel that Something Bad® is going to happen to the economy again in the next 6 to 12 months. It is unlikely to be as bad as what happened last time as the structural deficiencies aren't nearly as bad, but there is going to be a reversal in the direction of the economy. I am starting to take steps to try and insulate myself financially. Also, before anyone suggest it. It is not due to Trump, he is only a minor part of what I see causing the change. Edit: I made the prediction on here on April 6th, 2007.

    Neat idea, inappropriate name. That's a name for a flagship vehicle.

    As high tech as a 2008 Saturn Aura Green-Line.

    I don't know the details of it, just that it is no longer a giant financial asset for Tesla to bank on.

    He already released Tesla intellectual property to public domain. There is nothing for other companies to buy.

    LS all the things!

    I've only ever driven the Hybrid. I hadn't realized they had dropped the 5.0.

    Should be fixed now.
  10. Drew Dowdell
    ? Fixed

    Gotta pay for maintenance somehow....

    He'll be lucky is Tesla isn't producing the Model BK in a few months.

    It was Jaguar's slogan for a long time. There is no proclamation by Jaguar that I know of, but knowing the old slogan, I immediately made the connection. It certainly isn't unknown and obscure. http://www.themomentmagazine.com/lifestyle/motoring/jaguar-75-years-of-grace-space-and-pace/ "In the country of their origin though, they became even more, a part of the national consciousness, living up to the famous advertising slogan of ‘Grace, space, pace’ in a way that few other rivals could match." The Who - Jaguar Who The Who Sell Out Jaguar Grace space race. Everything they've seen you have seen, Everywhere they've been you have been, Everything they've done you have been and done already. Every lovely spot near or far, You can reach them too in your car, Or you might be there now if you own a jag already. The radio blasting, the girls are glancing, The ?? dancing with gleaming eyes. Grace space race. Grace space race. Jaguar, jaguar, jaguar, jaguar.

    Grace, Space, Pace.... I'm shocked you wouldn't make that connection.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    It's overused IMHO
  17. Drew Dowdell
    They should name it the JX35.... no... wait.

    If you find other broken stuff, please let me know. It was a fairly substantial update that completely broke the article feeds on the front page, so I had to rebuid them.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    We had a system update today, I'm still sorting through all the updates.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    That'd be like powering the Camaro with the 1.4t from the Cruze and giving it a CVT!
  21. Drew Dowdell
    Well, it's still just a concept for now.

    The Trax and CX3 are both excellent choices that I wouldn't hesitate recommending to people, they just are very different in purpose, nature, and capabilities. The CX3 is as close as you'll get to an Audi without stepping foot in an Audi dealership.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    Probably not in China... it has strong brand cache there.

    I agree with most of this except the Trax-CX3... not because the Trax is better or the CX3 isn't, they're just different enough in size that they might not really be a direct comparison. The CX3 is really just a Mazda 2 hatchback with AWD and more power. In that respect, it is an excellent vehicle and put together better than the Trax, but the Trax has a lot more usable passenger and cargo room.... so it is a bit squishy to compare these two directly. IMHO, the CX3 compares more directly with the CH-R and Juke. Trax more with Ecosport, HR-V, EclipseCross. Tahoe/Suburban - Expedition will be really damn close. I give the edge to the Expedition on interior niceness, but you wouldn't catch me crying in a Suburban either. Bolt - Model 3 - Model 3 has some coolness factor to it, but when it comes down to it, the Bolt will be easier (financially) to buy and own. Tesla is possibly 4 months from bankruptcy, so I wouldn't own a Model 3, only lease. GM build quality is better than Tesla as well. Plus, the Bolt works really really well and is actually fun to drive. The rest of your list is spot on. Though you forgot Camaro.... and I'd go with a Challenger or Mustang because favor comfort over sporting pretense. I completely ignore which one gets the best 0-60 or extreme handling ability.

    You're simply a troll. Cadillac offering more space for the price is a feature, not a bug.
