15. A BYD would be interesting.

I could trade my 328i BMW.
Chump never worked on a car and is ignorant when he says we want gas and grease back.
Us Boomers had a wonderful run with the 60s and early 70s Muscle Cars.

Younger went smaller with Hondas and imports.

New drivers just want to get where their going whether driving or Lyft or Metro. I feel the big attachment is gone.

Inexpensive, safe, a good interior interface and style.

China is forcing change and no amount of tariffs will stop it.
