If the US market Blazer was called anything other than Blazer, it wouldn’t get so much hate here. It seems like a decent car and one of the less bland, generic compact crossover blobs on the market.

If they’re trying to go upmarket, they don’t really have any cpnpetive engines. Sure, the 2.5T AWD Mazda3 makes a nice competitor to the A3, 228ix Gran Coupe and the A220... But it’s just barely competitive with their base models... Nowhere near competitive with the M235i, A35 AMG and RS3.

The driver wasn’t relying on Autopilot (which disengaged 40 secs prior, and won’t engage at more than 5 MPH over the limit). He was intentionally trying to max out his car’s top speed.

No. This driver wasn’t relying on Autopilot. He was testing the max speed on the car, risking life and jail time to do so. He was completely alert and aware of his reckless behavior.

That’s not an 07 Rabbit speedo. I had an 07 Rabbit. This looks like an early 2000s Golf gauge cluster. So the mileage is probably inaccurate too.

I would say that GM has a decent shot at putting out a mass market competitor to Tesla. The Bolt proves they can do a 260 mile EV range for consumer car prices. If they can make the 2022 update look nicer, they might make it to market before the illusory “$35k Model 3" is readily available.

An expiration date is acceptable when a part becomes less effective, but not deadly. Recalls aren’t issues for ineffective parts, but they are issued for deadly parts. Thus they had to recall it.

I mean, he wears a marshmallow on his head. I think he's looking to make a statement of absurdity 

A person in my university’s car club had the holy grail manual wagon version. But for some reason it was covered in a rhino-lining style paint and had white Oz rally wheels. It was a damn shame.

Looks like there are two clear LED strips inside the lower trunk seam. Could double as regulation secondary brake lights and a courtesy lamp when the trunk is opened in the dark.

Technically nothing on the Lucid Air EV made it production yet.

$2k for a functioning, practical and easy to maintain car? NP. Not to mention this has some serious Radwood potential and is so uncool that it's extremely cool. 

Stow n Go seats are horribly uncomfortable. Anyone who’s had a Grand Caravan for their Uber XL can attest. They’re narrow, flimsy, unsupportive and you can feel the metal structure poking your back if the car has any sort of mileage on it.

It’s also worth noting these are middle range, well optioned models. When we looked at the S60, it had every option we wanted and none we didn’t. The low price lease specials you see dealers advertise are usually bare bones T5 models. 

I did a lot of research into this program and spoke with a Volvo broker who explained it to me. Let’s shed some light on the three biggest complaints/questions postured here:

Sure, there is something cheaper to lease than $200 down and $200 a month... But at that price it’s pretty much the Mirage and Spark... And while it’s not pretty, the Bolt is a significantly better equipped, larger, more powerful and comfortable car than anything in that price range. I drove one, and it’s nice to…

It’s probably there. You can lease a new Bolt with 260 miles of range for about $200 a month right now and electricity is a fraction of the cost of fuel. Maintenance is much cheaper too.

If my VCDS cable arrives in time, you’ll see me there! It’s my first G500 anything.

That’s quite a fleet for Illinois! I live in Chicago and at 3 cars, my fleet is already mess of expiring registrations, parking tickets and smog tests.

Yeah, the Genesis logo is unfortunately derivative. With all the talented designers, they couldn’t come up with something more modern and unique? I think they’re getting away from it in favor of the scripted G E N E S I S on the rear of all their products now.
