I'm going to say that GM is filleting some Red Herring here. At those price premiums, the Camaro hybrid would probably not sell. But where or where in the GM lineup would there be an Alpha platform car that would use such engines and be able to command a price premium like that? Oh hi CT4/5/6...... Just because they say it's a 6.2 liter doesn't mean it's a 6.2 liter. The new 4.5 V8 from Cadillac comes in 500hp and 550hp flavors too. I like that the 2.7 might be potentially used in the Camaro. It would probably be a good CT4/5/6 engine too then.

News may appear out of order for a bit.... or old articles may pop back to the top looking like they were published more recently. (Tesla autopilot article is my test article currently) This is not a bug. This is me testing software that will enable automatic publishing of our articles to Apple News to hopefully reach a larger audience.

Yes... aren't you like 5'5"? could probably lay you sideways.... but maybe that's the point? ?

Exhaust manifold gasket.

I have to do a drive to NY today, but because the Honda is broken down again I can't take the Buick... so my Toronado is being pressed back into roadtrip service again.

I think it's probably too long to fit in the relatively narrow XT4.... don't expect to see the 2.7T in there. Expect either a hot 2.0T, something like an ecotech based 2.3-4ish turbo or a V6.

Getting going is fine on the Goodyear Triple Treads plus the excellent AWD in the Encore.... stopping in snow hasn't always been as confident. The Dunlop WinterSports on the CR-V definitely do better.
-
Could be. I wanted something that would be better than a normal All-Season in the snow to avoid going full snow tires on the Buick, but that hasn't seemed to work out.

The problem is going to be the judgement of what is considered impairment.

We have a lot of such jack-asses around me. AWD and bald tires. My Issue with the Blazer is that it doesn't feel very "off-roady". I'm fine with the idea of a sports SUV like the Edge ST or QX70, but the Blazer conjures an image of an off-road SUV like a Grand Cherokee or Bronco. I'm glad they didn't call it TrailBlazer.

I have the Defender X somethings on the CR-V. Good for 3 season but not great in snow. I have snow tires for it.

e-brake is a requirement for the automatic braking safety feature, so that's why you're probably seeing it on the upper models at GM.

interesting you say that. I've noticed a drop in MPG and I almost want to say performance on the Encore when I switched from the Continentals to Goodyear Triple Treads. It's been a while since the switch-over, but it is still noticeable. If I keep it long enough, I may go back to the Continentals. Light snow traction on the Triple-Treads has been excellent for an all-season tire though.

nudging back to Hyundai and design distinction. I wonder what Hyundai designer Peter Schreyer thinks of this. He's the one responsible for giving Genesis a more Audi styling and where most of the criticism originates that the Koreans are just trying to copy the Germans (they're not, they got a German designer).
