    Very strange..wonder why the street is so much lower than the buildings..
  2. Robert Hall
    It is interesting that none of the regular companies have been able to capitalize on EVs the way Tesla has. I assume Tesla's singular focus and not having to support or develop legacy product gave them an early mover advantage.
  3. Robert Hall
    I see a lot of Kias and Hyundais around here also...

    Too many boring AWD/FWD transverse 4cyl or V6 automatic appliances...I know that is what the market seems to want, but does GM really need 4 brands worth of them? Different styling, same boring hardware underneath... Not that different than GM in the 80s-90s when they had so many similar, overlapping subcompact, compact and midsize FWD transverse 4cyl and V6 sedans and coupes...so much forgettable mediocrity.

    I think the standard story is 'wait till next year'...the S-class, GLE and GLS are all getting redesigned soon..the next GLE has all ready been shown. SLC and SL would make sense being down in winter, since they are convertible 2 seaters.
  6. Robert Hall
    Yeah, I can't imagine anything from a Chinese company will be sold in the US for anytime soon...

    Horse and buggies... (remember, I grew up in Ohio Amish country--saw them all the time). Some of them rent 16 passenger vans w/ drivers to go shopping.
  8. Robert Hall
    Weird to you maybe, but aren't ICE vehicles also weird to the Amish?

    A full EV version of the Volt would be nice to see. I don't care for the monospace styling of the Bolt, but a full EV Volt would be a neat little car.. maybe GM will eventually get past the 'EVs have to be weird to sell' phase and start mainstreaming them.

    Sort of like how in Europe they have supermini cars between subcompact and compact. It sounds like Ford's plan to add many new CUVs and SUVs.
  11. Robert Hall
    Given Ford's new focus on CUVs, it wouldn't surprise me that they would go with something mainstream in addition to the Baby Bronco..
  12. Robert Hall
    Maybe they are adding a model between the Ecosport and Escape.
  13. Robert Hall
    So this is presumably 'not' the baby Bronco? Is it the next Escape or a new Focus-based CUV entry? I know they were going to do the Focus Active wagon from China but that got scuttled..this is something else.
  14. Robert Hall
    Too bad we won't get the new generation Focus here, it's pretty good looking in hatchback form.
  15. Robert Hall
    I'm not particularly happy w/ where Apple is going currently. Still like my older Mac Book Pro (bought new in 2017 but it's the previous generation), my iPad, and my iPhone 7 (got it last year to replace my 6S). The only advantage I'd see going to Samsung phones are longer battery life and better camera. Oh yeah..best I've felt about the Browns since Kosar was there.
  16. Robert Hall
    With the Broncos, Browns and Steelers not in the playoffs, no one for me to root for...though I'm interested in seeing how far the Eagles go. As long as we don't get another Patriots Super Bowl. Rams vs Chargers would be an interesting matchup.
  17. Robert Hall
    Buick and GMC with regard to CUVs seem to be like Buick and Olds in the 80s-90s with sedans. Two slightly different flavors of essentially the same product....two middle filler brands between Chevy and Cadillac.
  18. Robert Hall
    Something like the Escalade should be very quiet...a luxury vehicle should be very quiet and refined, not loud...a quiet interior without harsh road noise and a powerful sound system.
  19. Robert Hall
    And over 150k Caravans...it's getting pretty old also.

    I drove from Reno to Denver once in a rental Impala..the stretch from Reno to Salt Lake City is pretty ugly... just a lot of barren nothingness. Gigafactory 1 is near Clark, NV about 17 miles east of Reno in the void. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigafactory_1
  21. Robert Hall
    Interesting that those scumbags would be investing in EVs..I guess they are trying to think of a future beyond petrodollars...
  22. Robert Hall
    Tesla’s Gigafactory is near Reno, could be land speculation related to that. Or people working there or moving there from the more expensive SF Bay Area...
  23. Robert Hall
    I haven’t seen the new bridge yet, been 4 years since I’ve been to SF. I’ve driven over the old Bay bridge and Golden Gate a few times. I love bridges.
  24. Robert Hall
    No idea what the long term w/ Lordstown is, other than it's been 'deallocated'. The modern bridge is the Veteran's Memorial Bridge, connecting Steubenville and Wierton, WV. It opened in 1990, replacing the 1928 era Ft Steuben Bridge that was demolished in 2012. Veteran's Memorial Bridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Memorial_Bridge_(Steubenville,_Ohio) Ft Steuben Bridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Steuben_Bridge While I was there,I also went over the Market Street Bridge which is 2 lanes with a neat steel deck you can see through.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_Street_Bridge_(Ohio_River)

    They are being consistent with the long-established Italian luxury or sporty image, though...looks great, drives great, but poor reliability and quality.
