    Our Embassy in Bangkok has been reporting that for dozens of years, so far has fell on deaf ears, maybe not now.  But the US doesn't import cars from Thailand, as far as I know, only car parts.

    I'm not sure it's item for item.. I'm sure Trump can put a tariff on all items that come into the US.

    Where on earth did you get that idea??!?!?! Diesel engines are definitely subject to greater emissions requirements year-by-year in the USA, but they're not slated for the chopping block in any way, shape or form, in fact, the availability of diesel options in light duty trucks is better now than it has ever been, with options available from numerous manufacturers.

    But then America is kind of backwards when it comes to diesel engines. Most car companies in America don't even offer a diesel option. But that Ford diesel SUV has every conceivable bell and whistle one could imagine. And it drives like a dream. A bit pricey but then you have to pay for what you get.

    Thats because diesel engines are being outlawed in America due to emission issues. I think 2018 is the last year a manufacture can sell them.

    Reading up a little  on the current state of GM Chevrolet in Thailand, they are going to drop saloon cars  Captiva and Cruze and concentrate solely on Colorado and Trailblazer much like Isuzu  do now selling only trucks.

    They had sales of 10  million worldwide in 2017 buoyed up by China making them worldwide No.3 with VW 1st Toyota 2nd GM 3rd.

    Ford US announced the same. They said SUV's and pickups are the majority of their sales and will cease production of most traditional cars with the exception of the Mustang.

    That said I'm contemplating switching from an Android box to an Intel NUC. I can put a basic model together with Celeron J3455 processor, 8Gb Ram and a 120Gb SSD drive running Linux for a bit over Bht10k. Will run Kodi just the same, but a bit more future proofed.

    Good choice.. But the average user may not have this capability. Exactly why I recommend a reputable manufacture that provides a quality product like the Nvidia Shield. I paid B7285 delivered from Amazon. A bit pricey but worth the investment.

    Bump!

     

    Any new suggestions for best streaming media Android boxes currently on the market?

     

    Pros/cons?

     

    Essential accessories?

    I just ordered the Nvidia Shield from Amazon. A bit pricey but rated the best for streaming. Amazon has it on sale with the gaming controller. Just $10 more so my kids should have some fun wit it as well.

     

    The problem with the cheap Chinese boxes is they never update the OS and most run Android for mobile phones not Android TV. The Shield is currently running Android TV 7.1 and should be going to 8.0 very soon.

    OP, you are aware that in the last few weeks many builds have been 

    taken down by developers who have received cease & desist letters.

     

    Those same developers are now no longer involved with their work.

    Right now it's prob best to wait it out until new developers start making

    some new builds.

    Alternatively try using addons from repositories that are still working

    and create your own build.

     

    I am well aware of those who stopped development. I am currently using the 1A build. I don't think these guys are going anywhere. The just released a lite version and a touch screen version.

     

    Thanks for your input. I do appreciate it.
