You guys over there at Jalopnik are just trying to start up flame wars. Not a strategy that will last you.

That’s the Avista, Buick’s “Gentleman’s Musclecar”. But your point is made.

The “van” notation emphasizes the one-box design. A Shooting Brake is a station wagon 2-door. 2-door vans, what we call now SUVs, along with coupes, were all the rage in the 70s.

GM will probably revisit this design at some point, as a BEV, albeit as a 4-door. It is generally what GM thought for the future in the 1980s to early 1990s, and frankly I liked that Era of Concept Car design.

1) Who said it had to be a 6 cylinder? A Turbo-Four will work just as well if not better. Also the Mazda 3 starts in the low $20K to the low 30K’s.

It is more that a RWD MAZDA 6, for example, would cost as much as a Mazda 6 did/does now. So starting in the mid to high $20k range and topping out in high $30K’s, so as much as a typical FWD family sedan. Going higher in price would put them in competition with more established and/or more financially powerful…

$100 for a fully refundable pre-order. For a Vast majority of those pre-orders it was probably kids snapping them up to claim they were getting a truck that would “put that other guy in his place” or some such. Once that actual bill hits I doubt Tesla will retain 1/10 of those pre-orders. Like the Model 3, Tesla is…

Sell or deliver? There is a difference. Tesla could sell 250K Cybertrucks a year but take three years to deliver them... and that time scale to deliver is being generous.

I wouldn’t say no one wants and ALFA Romeo... but AR has NO REP in the US and some people will argue that what rep they do have is not good. Of course, early batches sold in the US having below par “quality”, a catch-all for anything that does not measure up to the entities doing the measuring (this is a larger…

And who are you that the owners of these vehicles, or anyone, should give care about your bigoted, backward, butthurt, prejudices?

Sounds like someone who is more fixated on clout chasing that their living with the vehicle (I said “sounds like”. But if that does turn out to be you, do not out yourself). Everyone gets a vehicle they do not like/love/obsess over, for one reason or a dozen. The thing is if those negatives outweigh the nominal or…

I can see that. Especially when carmakers put all their money into making power seats, and even put money into engineering out the reliability of manual seats, a distressing habit in “Detroit” and Germany apparently.

I could see GM bringing back the H1/Humvee as a BEV. Although GM would be in a mix trying not to look like they are copying the Chinese even though it is technically, if not actually, the other way around.

One bad example does not invalidate the whole lot. BUt yeah, some companies will not think things though sometimes... A German company of all things...

It used to be that you can have every seat function controlled manually and/or powered manually. These were typically easier, less expensive, and more reliable with little to nothing to break or wear out.

Uusally, GM just counts Chevy and GMC together and they usually top FORD by a few hundred to a few thousand, in a close year.

Beautiful. I improves on the Countach without being a douche about it.

“It is never the religion but the practitioners.” We try but God can’t stop people from being stupid, evil, or stupidly evil.

The basic style works fine. But the wheels do need to be at least 17in-19in. The detailing and design needs to be more in keeping with modern tastes or at least match the car better. Generally I am enthused by this. I like it, but I am not willing to go all in on it without a more modern take on the wheel, and YES I…
