    ? What were we debating again. I seemed to have been side tracked in my comments.

    Failure out of the gate if no enhanced powerful motor than the 6.2 L default V8. Plus they have got to fix that UGLY face on the Chevrolet truck. That is a deal breaker and has shown with being in 3rd place for truck sales on top of the pathetic interiors.

    Right, GM is using transparency to force the UAW to come to fair terms. Love the way this is being done by GM and hope all auto companies that have to deal with the corrupt greedy unions follow this road map. No need for hiding anything. Show the fair deal and let the union members tell their greedy lazy leadership to take it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gm-strikes-dont-pack-economic-punch-they-once-did/ar-AAHqEz4?li=BBnb7Kz I also agree that as @daves87rs stated, this is a good deal and they should jump on it as a Union strike is NOT going to have the impact on the US as they did in the 70's or 80's. Those days are over.

    @balthazar Thought you of all people would appreciate this!

    The AWD Concept one I could see young people buying and those living in the city. Rest of us would want the larger CUV/SUV that are coming.

    I use my Note 9 to access the site, post pictures, etc. so yes I would try the app and if stable enough, I might stick with it otherwise I will continue to use a browser on my phone.

    Still looks better than the Leaf and more on par with the Bolt.

    Nice write up, thanks for sharing. 2019 Ford Edge ST AWD feeling like your in your 2009 one!

    I think it is a wash between a kit car built and a rusty used mustang.

    True, but then you have to find one. One on the dealership lot north of Seattle with 199,000 plus miles and one a couple hundred miles away with 48,000 plus miles but that is it. If I go across the country, using autotrader, I only find 37 hybrids available for sale from $34,500 at 95,000 plus miles to $5,795 with 254,000 plus miles. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/Used+Cars/Hybrid/Cadillac/Escalade/Mountlake+Terrace+WA-98043?listingTypes=USED&searchRadius=0&zip=98043&startYear=1981&endYear=2020&marketExtension=true&makeCodeList=CAD&modelCodeList=ESCALA&fuelTypeGroup=HYB&sortBy=derivedpriceDESC&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0 There are a few below 50,000 miles, but I have to wonder if they are gremlins of electrical or accident rebuilds. Be interesting, but sadly they are all of the horrid second generation which had the seats that would not go flat against the floor so I could fit without having to recline the bloody seat which I hate. Have to wait for the EV Escalade of 2021.

    Good thing we all have a hard time relating humor, sarcasm, etc. in our writing. Pretty much no matter what, in today's global market, you cannot survive by being in only a single narrow focus area as to why Bentley is no longer single, MB has moved into the Toyota/Chevrolet market, pretty much every asian auto company now has entered the luxury segment. Anyone that thinks any one brand is the best or Luxury of the world is delusional in not acknowledging the multiple brackets of entry to ubber luxury to optimize profits.

    I thought it just got cut off coming out of the squeeze tube. I have to say from the front, looks like a bullet train. I actually like the frontal look, rear needs work, but AWD EV is pretty cool looking as a starting point. I actually think this looks better than the Leaf or Bolt.

    I would consider buying it for $12,500

    When gas was $5 a gallon during our Depression of 2007 to 2012 in Washington state, the state made it a requirement for any company with 500 or more employees had to provide mass transit bus passes. As such, I went from daily driving to only driving with the wife for errands, projects, working out. We went from 30,000 miles a year on two auto's to just about 15-16,000 miles a year. Since you all know I only have full size SUV's and a couple mid size, even with my SS only getting 12 miles per gallon, it would have to hit $15.00 a gallon for me to give up the SS or Escalade and even then I doubt it since everything is paid for and in perfect working order. At this point with so many EV options coming on the market over the next 18 to 24 months, I will be buying EV in the future. Excited as Rivian will have a look and see show on September 27th here in Seattle. Hoping to get a chance to actually try out the interior and see how I fit.

    QUESTION: ?‍♂️ How tall are you as I was in an audi a few years back but have not been in these specific models recently, so at 6'6" tall space is a premium and I will take comfort over sportiness. My normal test is to set the drivers seat for my comfort and get out and see if I can get in the seat behind me, cause then anyone would be pretty comfortable if they can. So how tall are you and can someone sit behind you? ?

    True and your right it is worse now, but ignoring that ugly mark, I do still like the over all station wagon vibe.

    2002 Ford Cougar rebuilt as a Replica 2012 Bugatti for $125,000 https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/d/winter-springs-2012-bugatti-veyron/6967909699.html Still has the original Cougar V6

    Gotta love how fast the Europeans are adding Hot Hatchbacks AWD EVs.

    I know people have not been impressed with the New V series so far, but over at the Cadillac Society, someone took the latest CT5-V and made a station wagon and I have to say they have some photoshop skills. I like what i see. http://cadillacsociety.com/2019/09/13/cadillac-ct5-v-wagon-rendering-has-us-drooling/

    Seems Benz is rolling out the info, pictures and videos on all things Hybrid and EV. https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko.xhtml?oid=44347800&relId=1001&resultInfoTypeId=172&ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLnhodG1sP29pZD00ODM2MjU4JnJlbElkPTYwODI5JmZyb21PaWQ9NDgzNjI1OCZib3JkZXJzPXRydWUmcmVzdWx0SW5mb1R5cGVJZD00MDYyNiZ2aWV3VHlwZT10aHVtYnM!&rs=4#toRelation So this shows their family being 10 Plug-in Hybrids now. Lots of details released in the last 24hrs. https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko/Start.xhtml?oid=4836258 Common thread I am seeing in all 10 Hybrids is their 2ft wide by 10 inch high or what seems like that big dash screen.

    Like a Blacker than Black auto? BMW has painted their X6 in the blackest black available. The auto only returns 1% reflection. https://carbuzz.com/news/blacker-than-black-bmw-x6-wont-avoid-the-police Yes LiDar can still see it.

    WOW, some of the info is surprising but clearly quality is not in the BEST Category of their Best or Nothing as it clearly is in the Nothing Category! QUOTE: Surprisingly, the study found that the car with the highest recall rate in America is the Mercedes C-Class. According to the study, the luxury car "has been recalled for a host of safety issues, from several different recall campaigns involving airbags to multiple campaigns involving failure in the steering column." Another campaign required the C-Class to be recalled because the sunroof had been improperly bonded to the frame, which meant there was a risk it could fall on passengers. Like the fact that they also related the recall list which by the way has Mercedes-Benz and BMW claiming the top spots for recalls followed by the GMC Sierra and of course everyone else both domestic, Asian and the rest of the German broads. What I found interesting in the read is that the Toyota 4Runner has such high reliability from Consumer Reports but is for it's class at the top of the recall list. How does Recalls and Reliability go................. Also very ? funny that at least for me, both Toyota and MB have ads on the story page to try and sell you said auto's.

    Wile Tomato juice works for animals, I have heard from others that Freebreeze works well for skunk in an auto. I have always used the following for external: Skunk ordor is hard but not impossible to get rid of. Measure and pour the distilled vinegar into a garden sprayer. Add liquid dish detergent to the garden sprayer. ... With the garden sprayer, begin spraying underneath and all around the car. Repeat one hour later if the smell remains. There is also the Amazon option, never used any of them but lots of spays / solutions. https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Remover-Neutralizing-Formula/dp/B000NJJKCM/ref=asc_df_B000NJJKCM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=218421090408&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7157794200968826516&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033284&hvtargid=pla-353328822856&psc=1

    Hope they come to terms sooner rather than later on this. Glad to read that Lordstown will reopen as a battery assembly plant and the EV pickup truck will go to Detroit-Hamtrack.
