I saw these in LA and they look really darn close to production ready. Both of them are "tweeners" in exterior size. They don't feel as big as an F-150, but not as small as a Ranger either. The SUV looks about Explorer sized. Their third vehicle should be a smaller crossover about the size of the old Equinox.

A trim line is not a model. The E300 and E400 are not separate models.

I dunno... I'm sure the BMW will at least whelm me.

I'm pretty underwhelmed.

Top of the car range can be Escala to go with the top of the SUV range Escalade.

If the product is good enough, they will come. But it isn't happening anyway.

GM routinely licenses out its technology. They had camera mirrors, though not full-time real-time streaming, as far back as 2010. That is how the 2nd gen Equinox got a rearview camera if one didn't select NAV. The image popped up in the mirror. Cars are not new... you must still drive a Curved Dash because if electric cars haven't changed in 100 years, neither have gasoline powered cars.

Their whole economy is cooling fast.

There are Chevy dealers that get special treatment based on the number of Corvettes they sell... or the number of Silverados they sell. A Corvette sub-brand "boutique"* inside of certain dealers would work. That's how Genesis launched. *I hate that word in regards to buying cars.

It's not anywhere near that simple since much student debt is privately held. The real threat is corporate debt. 9 trillion of it. Companies that are cash-flowing today could become black holes of bankruptcy in just a few months time. The US auto manufacturers, for once, are ahead of the game. FCA paid off most of its debt, GM is going through their major restructuring to lower costs. Ford is doing the same. If/when a global recession hits in the near term, the auto manufacturers do not want to need to be bailed out again.

Multiple lines of Corvette was there as a concept from the beginning. It was nearly its own brand of cars inside the Chevy brand.

Reciprocal trade.

When the Ford Ranger returns to the US market in a few weeks, the EPA window sticker will be a primary strong selling point. The EPA estimates for the Ranger have been announced and it beats any other gasoline powered pickup on the market. The two-wheel drive Ranger will have a 21mpg city / 26 highway / 23 combined rating. That combined rating ties the combined rating of the diesel-powered Chevy Colorado. The 4wd model gets a 20 city / 24 highway / 22 combined rating of which the city and combined rating are the highest in the class. The Ranger starts around $25,395 and offers only one engine, a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder, that will tow and haul more than the V6 offerings from Nissan, Toyota, and Ford. The U.S. mid-size truck market is heating up with Ranger as just the newest entry in the mix. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator will be arriving next year but has not yet been rated by the EPA.
