Dodge News: Dodge Challenger To Get AWD Option, Widebody Hellcat for 2017
I could see Chrysler being retired to the history books. Dodge picks up the 300 and new platforms for the rest plus a serious dose of plug-in hybrid and EVs.

Chevrolet News:2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV To Start At $37,495
I have heard from a few coworkers who have new Priuses that they car is more engaging than past generations, but with that said, there is the low seating position of the car and the serious lack of headroom and over all body space for larger people. Be interesting to see what Drew thinks of it when he test drives a new Prius.

Chevrolet News:Its Official! 2017 Chevrolet Bolt To Offer 238 Miles of Range
Volt Great Car if your under 5'10" tall, otherwise the Volt is a No Go especially for tall people in the back seat. BOLT deals with tall people by having plenty of interior head space, leg room etc. Plus BOLT as a CUV addresses the current love affair many have with SUV/CUV type auto's over cars. I tried every which way to fit into a Volt when they came out and then with Generation 2, no way in hell you will get my 6'6" frame into that car. BOLT on the other hand should fit me and the wife loves it over the lower sitting Volt.

Sandisk Extreme Pro SDXC 1TB memory Card
Fair enough point made, yet with that being said, the Go Pro 5 has WiFi and they are now offering a cloud based connection, so you record everything, delete nothing and when your back in a wifi area you upload the videos to your cloud for others viewing but still have it on the card. My gut as an engineer in the enterprise storage arena is that people will fill this card up faster than we think as they will not bother about ever deleting pictures / videos again. Everything will be stored forever. Unless your OCD like me and like to have the card empty. I still have backups elsewhere in triplicate.

Sandisk Extreme Pro SDXC 1TB memory Card
Go Pro 5 - 4K / 8K product designed to use this type of storage. GO Pro 5 Video Release Party Plus for those that use DSLR in both picture taking and video mode, I think this will eat up the storage fast. I also wonder how fast these larger cards will be supported by smartphones like the Moto-Z with the camera option you posted. I can see this going mainstream sooner than most might realize.

Chevrolet News:2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV To Start At $37,495
With pricing, colors and packages, Chevrolet has now moved the BOLT into their normal auto listing section on the web page. I wonder how long before they give you a build it option so we can play with the packages and options and finally price out a BOLT?

Sandisk Extreme Pro SDXC 1TB memory Card
Sandisk announces first Extreme Pro SDXC 1TB memory Card. So this is a prototype they showed off, but being that they have a 512GB SDXC card, I would say you might just be able to buy this by Xmas. Press Release - 1TB SDXC Extreme Pro memory card This just shows how fast we are moving into the 4K / 8K word of recording and storing data and how BIG DATA is here now. 2014 They showed off their 512GB SDXC card and started selling it in 2015, now here is the Photokina show and they have a 1TB SDXC card, so I imagine by Xmas or spring of next year they will start selling this card. No matter what, the world is getting smaller and smaller as we increase our density of storage.

Tesla Sued, Insane Mode not Insane Enough!
Gizmodo reports Tesla is being sued by 127 people in Norway cause Insane mode is not insane enough. http://gizmodo.com/telsa-sued-because-insane-mode-not-insane-enough-1786893579 Pretty interesting reading, clearly buying the P85D with insane mode is understandably not as insane as a P90D or P100D. Guess these people have more money than brains.

Click the pink box for checking charging locations in your area. Pretty amazing to see what Level 1, 2, or 3 Quick chargers are around.

Awesome Chevy Life web site about EV's and the Bolt. Found under the Maintenance section the following: You will need to rotate your tires every 7,500 miles. You should replace the cabin air filter every 22,500 miles. Don't forget to get your brakes, hoses and fluid levels checked periodically. Check out the cool Q&A about the BOLT here: http://www.chevyevlife.com/

Paris Motor Show: Mercedes Sends the New E-Class Wagon Off-Road
I could see MB if they made this an AWD EV for the US, it would sell well I think.

I agree that the technology needs to be spread across the product lines. I think GM would have a Massive Hit on their hands to make a Zolt. An EV Mini Pickup on this that would be well loved in the City. My piss Poor photoshop but I think a mini EV Pickup would be a big hit. 500 to 1000lbs is all it needs to haul in the bed.

VW News: Good-Bye 2-Door Golf GTI. Hello Golf AWD?
I disagree, make it an AWD EV for the US market. This Scirocco would sell big time I think.

I have to disagree with you. The diesel engine with proper clean technology is fine, but letting them pollute the way they did adding carcinogens to the air we breath, acid rain, etc. calls for VW to be spanked hard and their diesel to die. We have much better tech now anyway than to continue to use polluting, death causing diesel.

I love my Samsung notes, never had problem with them either under a cell phone vendor or if it was cracked. Phones just work. You can pick up a Note3, 4 or 5 pretty cheap on Amazon, Here is their unlocked listing of cell phones. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_11?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=unlocked+cell+phones&sprefix=cell+phones%2Caps%2C293 Amazing how cheap some of these unlocked new and refurbished certified phones are. Why do you think Samsung is Shit Tier?
