Quote HistoryQuoted: They are still expensive. The price of new trucks is crazy. If you buy one used and only a few years old, it is less than half the cost My guess is they're so expensive new mostly because people are willing to pay it. For a lot of truck buyers it's a status thing. They are money makers for sure. |

The amount of bloat in the manufacturing white collar workforce in recent years is astonishing. As automation has replaced the blue collar workforce, in a lot of companies paperwork and micromanaging filled the void.

Sounds like their cutting a lot of the middle managers. Which is a good thing, less bs for those that remain. And honestly, as a white collar employee you should always be polishing your resume in anticipation of better opportunities and layoffs. It’s a way of life in the white collar world. I'm sure that EU regulations have kept a lot of unneeded people on the payroll for the past decade or so. |

The plant by me if filled with guys that shoulda retired ten years ago. They practically live there 7 days a week and are pulling down 150k. They could get rid of half those guys and you'd never even notice.

My girlfriend just started working for Ford's customer service dept. They just shut down their Philippines dept and moved it all stateside. She's in charge of thousands of agents. So in a sense, they didn't really cut thousands of jobs out of the American workforce, rather, just created thousands of jobs in a different department.

Meh, most big companies could lose at least 30% of management and white collar and never know it because of all the deadweight.
Some could lose even more to include very top heavy upper management. personal. |

And unless you're going for the performance of a sports car, you really can't beat the versatility/practicality of a crossover/suv/truck. Most sedans really doesn't give people much. I doubt I'd ever buy something other than a crossover/small SUV as a primary vehicle. If we get a second car it’d probably be a Forester or Ascent. |
