• Matters of Import: GOP Tax Plans Could Make Cheap Cars a Lot More Expensive

  22-02-2017 23:19
  -A plan hatched last summer by Congressional Republicans could usher in the largest change in 30 years to the way the U.S. government taxes corporations on income, imports, and exports, and it has not gone unnoticed by the global auto industry.

  22-02-2017 22:34
  
  -Fortunes are built on meeting expectations. Every Big Mac is the same at every McDonald’s. Lightsabers are stupid weapons, but they’re in every Star Wars movie. The WWE is a business empire built on preordained results. And the 2017 GMC Acadia Denali is exactly what you expect of a vehicle sharing its name with not one, but two U.S. national parks.

  -Every other Saturday around 8:00 a.m., Robert Roach rolls up the doors of the cluttered auto shop at Carson High in south Los Angeles and welcomes anyone who wants to stop by.

Not that buyers in the big-crossover class seem discourag
