The hybrid Corvette does sound interesting...going to be interesting to see where it fits in the lineup and how it's marketed...above the base, below the Z06? ...and I assume there is room for ZR1 at the top eventually...
-
I'd want a refund from GM then go shopping at the Jeep dealer for a Grand Wagoneer.
-
I'm looking forward to future road test results and comparison tests..sounds like it's a beast.

That comment shows how little you know of motorsports. Also, the C8R doesn't even race in the prototype class.. it races in the GTLMPro class in FIA WEC. Learn something about motorsports then come back.. (I’ve been a motorsports enthusiast for over 40 years and know a thing or two about the various series). Time to block you, no value in seeing your pointless posts anymore.

Random video I found on You Tube---$2000 Chinese electric truck--Chang Li Explorer--the front looks like a scaled down Silverado HD. Has a neat tilt bed.
-
It is a BOF vehicle, though, so swapping a frame is probably not an unusual thing, like with trucks. It's designed to be unbolted and put back together.
-
Who said anything about comparing the CR-8 to an F1 car?????? You’ve truly lost the plot. Stop acting obtuse. You do realize there are many forms of racing besides F1? The Corvette has competed and won in various sports car series for years...
-
Not ambiguous at all...when they talk race car, they mean the C8R. Pretty effin' obvious. No one is comparing a street car to an F1 car. But you are so obtuse, you can't see that.

It's British, that is expected.

'59 Edsel and a Lotus Elise. The Elise was sold in the US from '05-11..was the basis for the original Tesla Roadster. Neat little two seat mid-engined sports car...had a co-worker w/ a bright blue one in AZ, rode in it once--so tiny---scary in Scottsdale traffic w/ the all SUVs and lifted trucks on the streets....

I think both in Ohio and S Florida most of the regular 60s and 50s stuff was gone from the roads in the mid 80s (salt). There were a few 60s cars in my high school—maybe a 1/2 dozen, and only 2 from the 50s I remember—a ‘56 Ford pickup street rod and a late 50s MGA. The ‘60s cars I remember were the twins that had a pair of restored red ‘65 Mustangs—one coupe, one convertible, a rough brown ‘68 Mustang coupe, a rough blue ‘66 Mustang coupe, an orange ‘68 Road Runner, a dark blue ‘68 Charger, a gray ‘65 Coupe de Ville and a well worn ‘68 Comet 2dr.

When I was I high school, 4drs with bench seats weren’t aspirational though. They were thought of as parent and grandpa cars. Kids wanted sporty 2dr bucket seat hatchbacks—those were the cars we wanted in the mid 80s. But I had many friends that got hand-me-down sedans from their folks…I remember a pale green ‘77 LeSabre, a sweet red w/ white top ‘76 Electra Limited 2dr, a dark red ‘81 Delta 88, and a sweet triple silver ‘80 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance. Rode in all of them, often with 6 teenagers...they were comfortable, not cramped. Also remember a blue '75-78 Marquis 4dr and an early 80s Impala wagon. I drove my Dad’s ‘85 Town Car to school on occasion before I got my ‘87 Mustang GT.

Saw a new WL JGC L for the first time up close, front looks good. Hood and sides seem too flat ( I like the creases of my WK2). Not sold on the rear either. This one was a Summit. Also saw a sharp black ‘65 Mustang 2+2, and a Pro Street style ‘73 Buick Gran Sport. Dark blue w/ huge rear tires, giant bubble hood scoop, STGE 1 license plate. Great rumble.

Or to own a business called 'Brian's Laundry'.

From what I've read, pretty much everything from Ram, Dodge and Chrysler are carryover for 2022 with minor changes from 2021. 2022 is Jeep's year for new.

Another Sunday drive. Out in Ashtabula County again, saw two more covered bridges…cooler, wetter weather but scenic. Not much fall color. Crossed the Pymatuning Reservoir into Pennsylvania and went to Conneaut Lake. Nice roads, great scenery. Saw a CJRD dealer in the middle of nowhere with probably a dozen new Jeep GC Ls on the lot. Saw a red and white ‘64 Dodge Custom 880 2dr on a small town used car lot.
-
The Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer interior looks good in photos, haven't seen one in person up close yet. Too big/expensive for me to be interested in. I am curious about the new WL Grand Cherokee 2 row... I've seen a few WL GC Ls, not really sold on the new exterior styling yet...rather flat on the sides, missing the center hood crease that GCs have had since the original ZJ, odd C-pillar trim, don't really like the narrow taillights. The interior looks good in photos. Would like to sit in one eventually....maybe at the dealer next time I take my '14 in for service I can sit in an L.

It's interesting, on the Silverado EV mini site it's neat how they have the 'EV' in Chevrolet in blue.. https://www.chevrolet.com/electric/upcoming-all-electric-silverado?ppc=GOOGLE_700000001942090_71700000085568375_58700007303295442_p65589291623&d_src=313715&d_adsrc=3876783&d_campaign=71700000085568375&d_site=GOOGLE&d_adgroup=58700007303295442&d_keyword=silverado ev&gclick=CjwKCAjwzaSLBhBJEiwAJSRoku829qfz2r3GO0U7_WQxYGGI3ATZ4BQEYZDazfjcpKtEhPFqqOYsQBoC4VoQAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAjwzaSLBhBJEiwAJSRoku829qfz2r3GO0U7_WQxYGGI3ATZ4BQEYZDazfjcpKtEhPFqqOYsQBoC4VoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

IIRC, the original Fisker Karma also used the Volt power train. As did the ELR and Opel Ampera (which was a Volt rebadge, sort of).
-
Wowza. I didn’t realize they made a CT6 PHEV. Must have been a blink-and-miss-it model. I remember the ELR, though.
-
Yeah, I hate hearing that shit when I'm outside...and esp. hate hearing it when I'm at home and enjoying my backyard and some graybeard boomer asshat on a Harley rides by making a lot of noise...or when I'm trying to sleep. Just as bad is the Millenial twit across the street that lives w/ his parents and drives around early in the morning and late at night in his Ecoboost Mustang going BRRRRAAAWWWWPPPPP down the street... As much as I dislike rural, sometimes I think a few acres on a lake out in NE Ohio would be preferable to all the noise in a supposedly quiet suburb...
-
It's too bad they haven't kept the Volt name going...perfect name for an EV. And the Volt had a good reputation IIRC. I've known a couple owners and they loved them. Anecdotally, of course.

Bankrupt. Been in administration the last 4 years, ceased operations and handed over to new government operated carrier.

Rivian R1T Production Trucks Rolls Off Assembly Line
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Rivian
Considering the vast majority of new vehicles have bucket seats and fixed consoles, it's a totally useless number without accounting for the console. Bench seats are an obsolete concept, as dead as carburetors or column shifts for the vast majority of vehicles. It's not 1980. Sounds like automakers need to update specifications to have realistic measurements.
