This makes total sense and no reason for Genesis to push into Hyundai territory. Rather they focus on the trend of delivering quality luxury CUV/SUV's if they ever do a real SUV. I suspect they will just do the CUV's.

If you ever get to sit in some of the early Hybrids, the last seat was used by many to store the batteries and as such, you had minimal travel room for the sprints, less ability for padding, etc. Sit in the first generation Hybrids on the back seat is much like sitting on a brick bench for a road trip. 10-15 min one can survive, but longer and your butt hurts.

I agree on the Food.

I agree, trucks like this should be taken off the streets and crushed.

I could see them buying up an EV startup that offers them a solution that would save them years in R&D and cost to get into the game faster too.

Disagree, they are very comfortable and as pointed out as a daily driver and commuter car, quiet and relaxing to drive in or ride in even if you are a big guy like me. @Cmicasa the Great Did you use the Sport mode button on the dash? I did and you truly get a nice boost of power making that 0-60 even faster. Or, GM was thinking of comfort over a harder seat. Plenty of unknown reasons as to why GM did that.

Agreed, time to consolidate and move it south as Drew mentioned. No need to deal with the greedy Unions. Increase employment in plants that can handle the added production.

Having many friends that have HD trucks, when gas prices hit north of $4, they quickly bought a 2nd auto for general purpose use. I am sure that does not happen as much in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and the midwest states where farms use these trucks. I do agree that MPG should be rated and these trucks do put more wear and tear on the roads due to increased weight so the added tax should go to support the road system. Plenty of poor uses in people buying HD trucks, full size SUV's when they do not need them but that is the freedom of America. Post MPG, Tax fairly and equally and let those that can afford the gas to drive what they want. No reason to hide what HD auto's do with MPG.

I loved the Duellers I had on the TB, a 40K tire that I got 67K out of due to the AWD wearing so evenly. One think I learned is the Michellin's are the only ones that actually sip all the way down to 10% mark, so for a 70K miles tire that is Mud / Snow rated, you get maximum traction for the whole life. Such a quiet tire too. I highly recommend spending the extra money on these tires.

Put New Tires on the Escalade and Trailblazer today. Michelin Defender LTX M/S Talk about a Quiet tire and looks sharp. Really like the quality. $929.15 installed on the Escalade $982.14 installed on the Trailblazer Got $140 in rebate visa cards. Free installation, road hazard warranty. Gotta say Discount Tire is beating Costco on price, service and customer experience. Loving it!

Guess I have to disagree as Tesla to me is not a Gotta Have it Item. Exterior is boring, Interior is just as boring. They do nothing to make me want to have their products. Technology is cool and I love it, but I will wait to some other company builds an EV that I gotta have. I find the Bollinger B1 SUV a better EV SUV than Tesla. That is probably due to the more brick offroad look and functionality than the Tesla.

They do say a Fool and His Money is soon parted!

@smk4565 You will love this, a guy who could not get BMW to fix his M6 and took a Sledgehammer to it then restored it to like new after BMW said they would look at his issues again, they must have come to terms as they put him into a E65 7 series and yet that also had issues that the dealership could not or would not fix. Finally after the last two years of hell he drove the auto to the BMW Corp Headquarters and lit it on fire. He is now driving a MB S350. He also in 2015 after BMW would not fix issues with his Z3 drove it to the company headquarters and lit it on fire too. Full Story here Police could not do anything since he burned his own auto and accuses BMW of Defrauding him and others.

Considering so many sports cars have been around the 4200 mark till just the last couple of years, I would say the Rimac would probably perform not much difference than cars in the 2 door segment from the Italians, Germans, Americans and Asians. Being that it does not have to lug an ICE engine that has to be rebuilt every 30,000 miles, Lower cost to operate and already one of the fastest monsters out there. We will weight till the actual production of a Project One comes out and then see how it stands up.

I am sure also give the room needed for pricing on the Tesla 3. Be interesting to see the used car market and how it goes.

One has to wonder if this is where BitCoin pirate profits go to these backwater startups. Maybe also funded by the dark web.

I have to wonder how long the life of the engine will last with all that stress on the Engine. ill it truly last 100K, 250K or 500K miles?

Very cool to hear as so many things have been said about Turbo motors being just like a V8 and really do not live up to it.

WOW http://www.automobilemag.com/news/mercedes-amg-project-one-hypercar-revealed/ So this Hypercar requires a complete rebuild of the 1.6L V6 engine every 30,000 miles. PASS, The Rimac is way better and as proven, I really doubt the MB Hypercar can beat it in performance.

The guy has the money, I suspect we will see it at least in limited production as he then goes after startup capital investments. I also think this was a proof of concept to allow them to sell the tech solution to an Auto OEM who wants to get a real off road EV SUV into the market place. Be interesting as we have a number of EV startups. I suspect only 10-20% will survive with the rest selling off their patents and folding up or being bought out. I also expect some ICE OEMs to fold shop over the next 5-10 years especially in China and Europe. Interesting times we live in.

Valid True points but then you have the Brick from Bollinger Motors which is 200 miles on their SUV, very real world capable off road and still 200 miles of range. I am good with that.

WOW, Talk about a confusing mess as I actually thought the T8 was an 8 cylinder, T6 was 6 cylinder, T5 was 5 cylinder, etc. That is just a mess of HP figures. Truly they need a better system to identify the differences between the engine outputs IMHO. Totally agree that this body design on the other autos would rock. Agree that this 40 is too small but would love it on the 90 or 80

Yet I will challenge that the same bland boring design really saves that much in the long run. I believe most people are willing to give up a little efficiency for a design that is found to be desirable. Jelly Beans might taste good but their design is boring.

So very true and that is probably why I never seen the Chevy cars that low, the dealerships know that no one will buy a stripped down car. Though I think that is what all kids should start off with to learn and respect what it costs to get a nicely equipped auto.

Rimac builds custom EV auto's for anyone, an asian guy paid them to build a 1 MegaWatt EV racer that placed 2nd at the Pikes Peak run.
