Where the World's Unsold Cars Go To Die

[HeXen]

If true then I think they should donate those cars to poor people that may really need them, although insurance and registration might be an issue.

This story is not true

Its on the Internet. It must be true!

Oh zero hedge is full of tin foil hat loonies? I couldn't figure out it from the all the "rothschild are stealing all the world's gold" articles.

The guy has got some form of brain damage. He certainly knows nothing about how a business operates and most definitely knows nothing about the auto business.

Does this really surprise you? The number of people that know nothing of how businesses operate yet comment on it as if they are experts is truly staggering.


Edit: Just read the comments to that "article". Holy shit there are a lot of idiots out there. It just boggles my mind how many people take that article as fact.

build to order - too bad, wait a few weeks for your CUSTOMIZED car instead.

This is the problem with internet "journalism" is that guys like this can marginally convince masses of people that this shit is true and then we have a bunch of loud mouth morons screaming about how bad businesses are.

Fucking moron.

This is why we need internet fast lanes for legitimate news outlets. Websites for guys like this would be so slow that we'd never bother waiting for them to load.

Monsanto is evillllsssss because the internet said so.

Not even bothering looking at it all, but I believe are just rows and rows of newly bought high end housing in many cities no one even lives in in certain areas still from the housing bubble.

*shrug*

Can't tell if serious or trolling.

Ahh crap. That's another thing that I'll need to block in my Facebook feed later.

Monsanto is evil regardless of what anyone said.

Cool so let's all spend internet resources to TMZ and let the innovative, creative, and thought-provoking blogs rot to hell.

By the way, I wasn't talking about this guy's website (the one in the OP) as "creative" or "innovative". His site is trash lol

... The first link conveniently leaves out this little disclaimer at the end of the story on the originating (?) site:

Yes I'm also an author and my book on conspiracy theories has no correlation whatsoever with this webpage.

 

[JMapleton]

I suspect this is a BS article. Probably just cars in Storage and most will be sold during the course of their Model Year.

It's likely linkbait. News and link baiting is destroying the internet and causing the logically-challenged to believe stuff like this.

 

[ElFenix]

i thought i was going to see pictures of brand new unsold Mitsubishis being driven around by people wearing Denver Broncos 2014 Super Bowl Champions t shirts.

 

[ThinClient]

I don't believe this at all. There is no incentive to continue building cars that are not sold.

Gotta keep their employees working because the employees are "owned" by a union that will shit bricks if their employees aren't working. Gotta keep car prices inflated, so it's cheaper to recycle the over-produced product.

 

[Jeffg010]

You see all those cars on Google maps that is all the proof you need that they make to many cars every year.

 

[BUTCH1]

I'm going with it's BS as well, once a manufacturer got to a certain inventory level they would..gasp..STOP BUILDING THAT MODEL until some of what's on hand are sold..

throughout reading that dumb article I kept thinking "BS, BS, BS". And he kept repeating the same crap over and over ("and here's another picture of this model built thousands of times over without being sold", "and here again is multiple cars not sold") come on now...

That's because it is BS. It's a rip-off of a January 2009 jalopnik article.

Yeah, because they make so much on other vehicles that they can make vehicles at a 100% loss and remain profitable.

You guys are fucking stupid it is painful to watch.

Most of this is from 2009.

They have all been shipped to China, crushed and re-cycled as part of U.S. and UK debt to China.

The cash for clunkers and appliances also sent massive amounts of metal to China as well.

Sounds like they need to use eBay Motors.
