If you’re worried about your Google hits, you should know that MLE is already in common use in NBA coverage.

MLE = Mid-Level Exception – Teams that are over the salary cap can spend about $5 million/year to sign players to their rosters.

Isn’t Ford trying to sell (dump, give away) Volvo right now? I seem to recall reading something along those lines in AN about 6 months ago.

I guess Ford isn’t talking because the car isn’t selling, no one seems interested in buying the whole tamale, either.

It appears that Ford has run out of buyers for more than just full sized pickups and suv’s.

MLE = Tango Uniform, methinks.

Major liquidity event? Sounds like something I had this morning after eating bad leftovers for breakfast.

I think “widely lower vehicle prices” would only extend as far as the Detroit 2.801. As for the rest of the automobile industry selling vehicles in the United States and North America, I suspect that prices could remain static.

Here’s why I think that.

Would YOU buy a car – meant to be held for 2 to 5 years – as the 2nd biggest investment / correction money waster you have after buying a house, from a BANKRUPTED company which some judge could suddenly call “BS” on and demand Chapter 7 closure? Bang, goes your $2.99 gas and your warrantee and your parts supply and your resale value…

Well, in order to get buyers / sorry – suckers, to buy, the BK company would be absolutely FORCED to drop their drawers / whoops I mean prices.

In the meanwhile, anyone with 3 brain cells to rub together is off looking for a car that is built by a solid company which is 99.9999% sure to be around a little longer than next frickin’ week, and hence, Toyondaisanaru make out like bandits.

What means “widely lower vehicle prices?”

Does not compute.
