Is it bad for the U.S. that a Japanese automaker such as Honda builds millions of cars in America — in five American states — employing thousands of American workers? If it isn’t, then why would it be bad for…
What if you could turn back time — to 2008 — and buy a brand-new half-ton truck like they used to make them? One without the “assistance” and other “technologies” that come standard with the new ones, like it or…
When Sergio Marchionne was running Fiat, he advised people to not buy the electric version of the 500, Fiat’s “Italian Job” micro-car. Why? Because each “sale” would cost Fiat a lot of money as the electric 500 could not be…
