  1. Ram released some teaser images on its website yesterday giving us a preview of the 2500HD and 3500HD that are due to be unveiled on Monday at the Detroit Auto Show. The images look like they are primarily from the top zoot Limited model, but in any case, show an aggressive grille, an attractive set of multibeam headlamps, and a RamBox. They also released a video that gives you some other hints like a column mounted shifter and a large infotainment screen. The RAM press conference is at 9:10 am on Monday, January 14th in the Detroit Cobo Center. View full article

  3. That's basically what BMW did with the i3, at least in terms of power output, and it didn't work so well. They made the range so small that even with the gas regenerator there is range anxiety.
  4. People like to travel in luxury cars. That means they need more than 100 miles of range
  5. I get it, you don't like my headline, but that's the way I see it and that's the way I wrote it. I'd say the same thing if the only CT6 available for 2019 was the 3.0TT Platinum model. I don't think I'm being deceptive.
  6. I'm no Lexus fanboi, but these have always been a joy to drive. I don't care what the torque numbers suggest, they are delivered well.
  7. It doesn't get much press, but the EV charging infrastructure is expanding constantly. There is a bit of a race on among the main providers to expand and I think one or two of them may expand too fast and get into financial difficulties.
  8. The entry price for a Model-S just went up by $18,000... I don't think that is misleading. It's not the first time it has happened either has Telsa has previously raised prices by dropping the entry models without lowering the prices on the models above it. Imagine if Chevy stopped offering all trims of Camaro under the SS.... wouldn't you say that they raised the price of entry?
  9. I've always wondered what the fancy ones with the LED light piping cost. That price is highway robbery. I got new headlight clusters for the Honda for less than $100 each off eBay and they fit and worked perfectly.
  10. Tesla had the "least bad" in sales results aside from Lexus (LS was way up due to the prior model being a partial year in 2017) and the Porsche Panamera. A8 was down nearly 50%, S90 was down 19.4%, Q70 was down 22.7%, 7-series was down 10%, E-class was down 9.5%, S-Class was down 5.7%. I'm thinking that Tesla is hoping to make it up in Model-3 Performance volume.
  11. The Cadillac's tire needs some air.
  12. Another Nissan exec who is in hot water resigned suddenly today. Jose Munoz is Nissan's Cheif Performance officer. He and Arun Bajaj, Nissan's Senior Vice President for Human Resources took leaves of absence one week ago. Both men are considered loyal to Carlos Ghosn, leader of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, who is currently jailed in Japan on multiple corruption charges. Nissan has moved to oust Ghosn after his arrest. We will update this story as more details emerge. View full article

  14. It's Jan 11th. They have plenty of time still. The XT6 that will be shown on Sunday will be on sale later this year. Definitely no on the Silverado, they showed it supporting 7-passenger SUVs but no trucks. While I don't think it will go into Corvette, an EV sports car could be done.
  15. It sounds like it is a platform for all of GM, it's just that Cadillac is getting it first.
