I understand, but I am not sold that you have to be DOHC to have performance. Too many proven non-dohc motors that run crazy and being a 10K red Line does not mean that is performance.

Is the auto paid off? If it is and the repairs are minimal, then I would hold onto it and save for that day when you buy what you always dreamed about. If the auto is still being paid on, then of course, it would come down to payments, do either of the other choices keep you in the same payment in an auto that has not been in a crash yet? I agree that an auto with bad underbody damage is a weakened auto and I would rather have my family and friends in something that is strong and solid. Safety is not an option for me nor can one put a price on quality of life.

Very cool, love the tone of the engine! That is a bad ass sounding V8! I really hope Corvette stays true to their heritage and DOES NOT put in the over rated DOHC CRAP Motors!

I had read somewhere that the Camry and one of the Subaru's was built on the same assembly line just like the 2 door coupe.

Nice looking car, for a car. Interior is sweet, we have such nice interiors compared to just a few years ago.

Fruit is getting rotten, that is why!

Bolt with Seats up are 16.9 cubic feet seats down 94.4 cubic feet of space Ioniq EV seats up 23.8 cubic feet seats down 96.2 cubic feet of space Bolt over all length = 164 inches Ioniq overall length = 176 inches. Understandable that the Ioniq has a bit more cargo space.

Yet with lease focused companies like MB and BMW, you can get so called luxury auto's cheap and the lower income folks tend to go that route to pretend they have money rather than look at the entry level auto's. In some ways the 90%+ leasing of certain models by certain brands (german) has created a problem with a glut of auto's in the cpo market and expectations of why should I accept an entry level auto when I can squeeze the payments to have a luxury ride.

Wonder if since Toyota owns them if they are not using a Toyota Modular platform. @Drew Dowdell Do you know if they are?

Yumm, Agreed, any delicious red wine with it?

Nice, always good to see them focused on improving them.

Weird, have not seen that issue yet, knock on wood.

No big deal, Not a fan of the bunker looking auto the longer it has been on the market.

Seattle already is snowy and frozen, more later this week.

Everything is working fine for me.

Wonder if they will use the BOLT platform, I think not or build their own EV platform.

And you're still a young Pup! Early HAPPY BIRTHDAY Drew!!!

I doubt Tesla will even be at 3000 a week by the end of January.

Very interesting EV Concept. Have to say I have mixed feeling about this. Maybe with Turning 50 I just look for more practice applications rather than an overpriced race car. Who knows, still an interesting concept.

I turn 50 this year, Nov 27th. Still feel in my 30's

Too late, Saudia Arabia already gave citizenship to the first AI human. http://www.businessinsider.com/meet-the-first-robot-citizen-sophia-animatronic-humanoid-2017-10 Interesting reading and will scare many who fear AI.

Local News reporting 1.4 Million BMW Auto's Recalled for Fire. According to the local news, BMW anounced today that they are recalling 1.4 million cars and cuv/suv's in America due to potential fire and that all owners should leave them outside till the repair is done. 740,000 cover the following models 328i, 328xi, 328i xDrive, 525i, 525xi, 528i, 528xi, 530i, 530xi, X3 3.0si, X3 xDrive30i, X5 xDrive30i, Z4 3.0i, Z4 3.0si, Z4 sDrive30i these auto's being from 2007 to 2011. 128i from 2008-2011 also included. Stated all are the V6 models. 673,000 covers the following models 323i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i, 335xi and M3 from 2006 to 2011. 328i xDrive, 335i xDrive and 335is for 2007 to 2011. 335d for 2009 to 2011. The problem is that underrated wiring according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration used on the AC and Heater systems can overheat, causing the connectors to melts and start the auto on fire even when the auto is unattended. BMW has agreed to have their dealers replace the wiring and connectors free of charge. BMW says out of concern for their customers and in an abundance of caution they will implement the NHTSA recommended recall. Have to say, if this is a problem here in the US, what about the rest of their auto's around the world. Sounds like some serious shortcuts for profits.

Yes, this was part of the 140 coupes they created I believe.

I understand what you are saying, look at it from the marketing angle. A web site that allows people to play with a concept as if it is real and asks you to join the mailing list to show your interest and support. Allows an OEM to gauge if there is enough interest to move forward with a real concept.
