Toyota has debt of 180 billion. It’s worth 220 billion. Many other companies have even larger spreads. Mainly spec tech.

Debt isn’t inherently bad. Just depends how that cash is used. In most big companies it’s borderline ponzi tho. I wish I leveraged to the gill pre pandemic like my other friends in real estate but that wasn’t my strategy or training in economics. Who’d have thunk…

There are dealers (and a specific terrible broker of acuras on here) that were claiming Integras should sell at $5k above MSRP

You’d have to pay me 5K to drive an integra.

The problem with the Integra isn’t that it’s a reskinned civic. The problem is the civic is a better car. And the competition in the 38k range offers a lot more
