  1. As far as fleets, postal and parcel delivery seems like the use case where EVs could work the best. Lots of stop and go low speed daily use.
  2. You aren't a fleet driver, though...not driving 25k-50k miles a year?
  3. I'd be happy w/ the regular 392 Hemi engine and 6 speed manual..485 hp is enough.
  4. The problem is GM invents stuff but does nothing with it.... they came up with that skateboard platform and didn't do anything with it due to their incompetent leadership..
  5. Yeah.. I'm only 6'0", but my head rubs the headliner in a Mustang and Camaro, and I can't see out of a Camaro w/o a periscope. I've sat in Challengers several times at the dealer and at shows, and I fit in fine even w/ the sunroof (which I'd want).
  6. In a world of mediocre FWD 4cyl CUVs and ugly, bloated trucks, a hefty, retro stylish 2dr coupe w/ available V8 and manual is very appealing to some... I really want one. An R/T Scat Pack w/ wide body in F8 green (or Octane Red) would be great.
  7. The idea of a 4cyl Corvette is pretty horrific...
  8. If its not in production, it's not real...means nothing, can't compare to production products..
  9. In a production vehicle? I think not...
  10. Tesla has proven a performance EV can sell, so it's doable...
  11. Note that it's the '66 they started from. And they had a 292 Y-block V8. Heres an '82... Similarly, Argentina built the '69 style Fairlane through '73, and the '69 style Fairlane through '81. With a 6 and 292 Y-block.
  12. Certainly seems like an interesting company, interesting potential product.. kind of a skateboard w/ configurable bodywork variations. I wonder how real they are or how much is smoke and mirrors presentation...
  13. It sounds like it's all using braking on one side, not moving the rear wheels like Quadrasteer did.. Probably not as tight as the Rivian which I think steers the front wheels opposite directions to turn tightly.
  14. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/01/17/gmc-yukon-hurricane-turn/
  15. That's a Cadillac interior in the pic... Chevys had round gauges..and a Biscayne didn't have all the shiny trim.
  16. Ya, VSS-F, same as the Encore GX. I'd think they would do an XT3 on that, and there's room for an XT2 on the Trax/Encore platform also... Since we are in a CUV-driven market, GM should add as many as they can while the market is hot...
  17. For DFelt-sized people they need to offer extended roof options.. Yeah, I'm 6'0" and found I can't easily reach into the bed of a typical 2wd full size truck today..they sit very high even in 2wd form.
  18. Yeah, I was looking on my phone, in a larger photo the use becomes clear. I don't think the Denali dash is any higher than the ATS--the gauge pod appears the same height, it's just the height extends further across on the Denali. I prefer high mounted vents, rather than ones down low. My 5'3" sister may not like it though...
  19. Not sure what is to the left of the screen in the Denali. I see a vertical row of buttons ( gears I think), but what is the slot ringed in bright trim? Looks like a giant HDMI socket.
  20. I like the Denali interior better, because of the brown dash, the higher center vents, and the integrated screen.
  21. I think that is an inherent flaw with transverse FWD platforms...just can't turn the front wheels as tightly as a north-south engine layout..
  22. Congrats... my sister has a 2015 Trax and has been happy with it overall..has over 20k now after driving to Florida a couple weeks ago. The floor filled with water during heavy rain driving on the way down there, had to spend a few days at a dealer last week...not sure what the problem was, but water was coming in somewhere through the HVAC system. She said the dealer blamed it on squirrels..
  23. Sharp..like the interior. Clean exterior, wears the big grille well... I like the lighting details.
  24. I googled pics to confirm, but I remembered the green '77 a neighbor had when I was a kid..the '77 had taller taillights that didn't wrap the corners, '78-79 had wider, shorter taillights that wrapped the corners.. China is getting electric Buick Velite 7 based on the Bolt.. I wonder if the US will get it eventually..looks to be around the size of the Encore GX...
