This one is the play. It has everything you need and then some: Leather, adaptive cruise, an option of 3 different engines, power everything.

Denali is what the kids call "extra".

Shocked they didn't mention SpaceX

The Trax is a good car for a college kid or commuter. No CVT so that's a huge win. It's a turbo 3 cylinder with no variable compression bullshite, and it's easy enough to work on if you have to. The Trax is actually shockingly good for a $23,000 vehicle that's a good bit cheaper than a Corolla or Civic.

I wouldn't buy a Nissan with a CVT. Not just because I think they are going to detonate. They likely will (especially the VC motor)....but Nissan's future in the US isn't on solid ground right now. After sales support could be in question. The VC motors have a funky crankshaft that can increase or reduce stroke depending on engine needs (to increase fuel economy or max performance). It's good technology conceptually but they've had serious issues with it.

This is all counter intuitive to a goal of self governance. Sankey is making a huge mistake.

The Crown Vic was kept around so long because the second gen Taurus was a huge disappointment. The first gen Taurus was a major game changer, but by the mid 1990s…. Ford was too busy with SUVs to invest in an upsized Taurus that would be roomy and sturdy enough for taxi and police duty. So they took the first gen and made it hideous…and called it a day while keeping the Crown Vic in production.

Another similar story: current gen Dodge Durango is the most un-Dodge Dodge that’s for sale now. Because it’s actually pretty reliable. Because the damn thing hasn’t really changed in 17 years. Not particularly competitive. But it’s the only game in town if you want a sturdy mid sized V8 SUV.

Chevy Express is similar. Bulletproof. Big V8. Simple. Same basic vehicle since the mid 1990s. Different story on the competitive front because it’s in a segment that’s obsessed with costs and upfitter compatibility and that tends to reward designs that never change.

It would severely erode the SEC in this scenario.

Forget the soccer players at LSU that were pro, rostered, and already fricking played.

SEC changing the rules after the kids were in the building is what created the imbalance. Not LSU.

Women’s soccer coach not named.

Boom. This is 100% about Lane Kiffin. SEC just fricked up.

Apparently, the SEC believes Kiffin lied when he said he did not initiate contact with the players in question.

Was that very clearly and definitively stated under oath by the way?

Wait, you think they’ll build a data center without a tax exemption?!? Lolol

I don’t have an issue with a tax exemption.

Just not a fan of burning a good industrial site for something that could potentially be obsolete in 15 years and will ask for another exemption to overhaul.

I’d rather this go to automotive or some kind of advanced manufacturing. Or something that can bring a supply chain ecosystem that we can use to draw another industry.
