Nissan News: Carlos Ghosn To Step Down As Nissan CEO
Honestly, I expect the BOLT to be the game changer once it is in all states. I expect it to sell out all year long as people want to not bother with fuel and the maintenance of an ICE auto. This will drive people and just as people are used to plugging their phone in at night when they go to bed, plugging in their auto for the night to charge will be no big deal. Washington state you are now seeing gas stations add a section for rapid charging level 3. Yes it is still a 15-20 min charge time to get 80% of capacity, but for many that is more than enough to finish their trip to point B. I agree with Hyper that once we get true Rapid Charging in place to reduce this to minutes like fueling an ICE auto, that EV's will take off.

Honda News: Honda's Upcoming Clarity EV Falls Short In Terms Of Range
Honda, FYI Pull your head out of the Glue Gun and stop sniffing some stupid Marketing spin. YOUR FULL OF BS! People will not bother buying your EV as 80 miles is pathetic in todays age and you failed to pay attention to the market and what the competition was doing. Only badge snobby idiots will pay $35,000 for your EV when they can get a far superior EV at Chevy for less. Saying this is needed for their fuel cell is a joke, Fuel Cells are more expensive and it takes more energy to fuel a fuel cell auto than a pure EV. Honda is on the wrong end of this one as I question GM on it also as I think we will not see the market move to hydrogen powered auto's. Rock on BOLT! Rock On!

Sadly the web site for building them gives no other options for powertrain then the 4 banger with 9 speed auto tranny. I have to say this is one area that they should have had an option at least for the Trailhawk edition.

Nice Looking just wish the TRAILhawk has a power bump option or something other than just a looks package and few off road tweaks. All TRAILhawks should have a more powerful powertrain than the rest of the lineup.

Industry News: Part 1 of PSA Group's Return To the U.S Begins In April
I will be honest that PSA has nothing of interest to me and in talking to others, many have not cared for their style. So be interesting to see if it is the same customers Fiat has grabbed, those that want weird quirky european style small cramped auto's. I really question their ability to make it here.

2018 Ford Fiesta ST, Now With Three-Cylinder Power!: Comments
Nice looking Hatch, I wish the back did not cut down loosing interior room and especially headroom in the back. Like the LED outline of the headlights. The little one can see on the interior shows the seats to be thick and well supported, makes me wonder just how much space is in the back seat? I do wonder how many of the LCD screen will be broken off as it sticks up and I can see people going to adjust the rearview mirror and hitting the screen and breaking it backwards.

Nissan News: Carlos Ghosn To Step Down As Nissan CEO
Interesting, how you turn a 3 billion profit to a 1 billion profit due to clearly book numbers playing. As Drew has said about Opel and GM, clearly there is a shell game afoot with these companies. http://media.renault.com/global/en-gb/renaultgroup/Media/PressRelease.aspx?mediaid=87144 http://amigobulls.com/stocks/NSANY/income-statement/annual Nissan was stronger the Renault but they did drop in 2016 from 2015. Interesting shell game of the numbers.

Agree, habits can add up to be a lot of dough, great that he is working to improve and save. Getting into the dash on the bulk of auto's is actually pretty easy as most dashes snap on and snap off. Then you have a few bolts holding the instrument cluster in place, unbolt them and you can usually get to all the lights very easily. I have found most dashes are covered by videos online now. No need to pay the dealer. Cool, while water might seem bland, it actually as your body cleans out, ends up tasting better and better. Plus you have the benefit of being in a gym where one can pick up motivation from seeing others that have better bodies and drive yourself to want that too. Plus so many nice butts to watch on cardio, legs etc. or stomaches, arms what ever drives your interest. Been sick with the crud all week, miss not being in the gym, but damn I have been sleeping like crazy. coughing up a lung and blowing my raw nose, so rare for me.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Teases Super-Cruise in Awesome New Ad For Oscars
Totally Rockin it for once! This hits on all Cylinders and kWh. Just realized the CT6 Hybrid is rated at 62 MPGe. I so HATE the MPGe deignation. They are screwing up the public by trying to say electric is equal to gas which it is NOT. They should be using MPkW or Miles per Kilowatt. This is a very true and comparable method of how far an electric charge will get you. In this case, the CT6 Hybrid would be 31 miles pure electric and 35 MPG. Yes I know that would say EV is less efficient than gas, yet this would also force auto companies to put in a proper size battery pack rather than a tiny one in these hybrids. 18.4 kWH size battery, pathetic, but then the MB Hybrid is just as small and pathetic too. Hopefully sooner rather than later for the Escala!

Checking in...
The Trolls, The political drama, the pending implosion debate of FCA, So much fun, so much drama. Never seen some go off on crazy tangents before. Course you would think some things have never changed with SMK and his moving goal post and with that said I will also say he has had some good posts too, but MB moving Goal Post have been interesting.
