Creepy to just think how much bacteria and other bugs / crap is in the auto. -
You could kill Fiat and all the Euro garbage and kill Chrysler. Some will say no, but kill durango and Journey and focus Dodge in the same building as Jeep and Ram. SUV, Car and Truck in a single DJR Dealership. Clean up and kill off. Honestly no need for Chrysler anymore. Agree with moving the mini van to Dodge. FCA has starved the various brands to a point where it is time to consolidate and clean house. The wasted billions stolen from American name plates to bring back Alfa is a joke and shows how bad Sergio is as a CEO.

Meh, Forgettable is what this looks like. I agree that those looking for a deal will end up buying this auto.
-
I understand that, I am overly OCD about cleaning my auto's so my dash never has anything on it and I keep it dusted and clean.
-
I am surprised that with all the work Ford has done on their auto's, especially the truck line with Aluminum that 200lbs is all they could pull out of the old Navigator as they built the new one. Weird
-
Seems plenty of people do when I search on Bing and Google.
-
Nice for a volvo. Should serve them well. A bit to conservative in style for my tastes.
-
Couple of coworkers who put stuff on their dash all the time broke theirs grabbing for their stuff. Seems to be much easier than I would have thought too. Escalade

I am wondering just how much room is inside as the picture Drew took of the front from the mid row seats makes the leg room look tight. Still do not like the floating nav screen.

WOW, that looks allot tighter than I was expecting. For a big guy, that does not look like much room and it looks tighter than the Escalade. -
With Tesla's system being an 84V to 265V system depending on the charger used to recharge the auto. One has to wonder why only 48 volt system for MB especially when Porsche is going with an 800V system in the Mission E?
-
Sadly if your over 6' Tall the Volt is a NO GO as no room. For me at 6'6" tall I am totally cramped in the drivers seat and no one can sit behind me. The BOLT is the exact opposite, plenty of room in front and back. Make a standard or mid size version of the BOLT with generator and have that EV range plus the generator and I bet it would fly off the lots. DEMO In looking at all the pictures online and video's, I wonder how much room a big person like me will have inside it with the roll cage in place. Snug but comfy in existing model, but the DEMO looks like it might have gotten a bit smaller.

@Stew Nice Point made!
-
I can understand that but then there are just as many people who do not mind multiple stops and only doing a couple of 200 mile stretches a day. The charging maps cover all 4 types of charging and yes Tesla has Extrem Fast Charging, then you have level3 or DC charging, Level 2 and Level 1 home charging. The maps tend to cover Level 2 - 4 for the most part. With that said, I get it that Kentucky is a bit behind much like Montana.

I agree, I also wonder if this is the last big Hurrah before Dodge starts a slow death spiral. Remember it is healthy to get out of the auto and move around. So think of the charging as exercise stops for your body while charging up the auto.
-
Back to the Demo, It will be interesting to see how these are bought and especially how many pay back the $3 dollars for the full package?
-
Yes Tesla is one source but then there are plenty more charging points. http://westcoastgreenhighway.com/ This sit sponsored and paid by the EPA shows electric nation wide of all levels.

Agreed, All auto companies that have done this floating nav screen makes me think they added it as an afterthought. I know many get broken in the MB auto's. Much better to have it integrated into the dash.
-
The touch screen is only for the massage feature of the seats, adjustment and lumbar support is on the door as traditional controls. In China the Massage seat works while driving, I question this as I can see it putting the driver to sleep as being too relaxed.

I think Black Chrome has it's place on all auto's and yes color of the auto makes a difference.
-
Yup, it does. Pretty Cool that it has these extras per car!

Yes, there are the paint options, but I truly am talking about electroplating or what the industry calls Black chromium electroplating. This is a true black chrome. Very nice, durable and way better than regular chrome in my book.

All the photo's are here on Motor Authority slideshow. Amazing the drag wheels along with a lift, etc. in the trunk so you can just drop by the strip any time you want to race. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1109826_2018-dodge-demon-delivers-840-horsepower-does-0-60-in-2-3-seconds#image=100599163

My 30yr old son loves the matte look, his Jeep Patriot which was his first auto he bought and financed himself out of college after he got a job, repainted it to be matte black and had the rims powder coated to match. He is not looking at a new SUV, his two finalist are the Ford Explorer Sport AWD and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Again, he is wanting to have them repainted since neither OEM offers matte paint jobs. I think this is a Millennial thing. I personally on luxury auto's like a monochromatic paint job on the body, but then have just a touch of chrome bits. Example is that I think having Black Chrome rims and the roof rack black chrome along with the grill is all that is needed on an auto.
