Yep, thanks to globalism and NAFTA, similar stories played out all over the midwest. 

Not so much who would.. but how many can? sheesh

So, replace Cadillac with rebadged Chevys?

I don’t think the exterior styling of this version is that bad.

The gaudy hood scoop is absolutely terrible. The 4 speed automatic, in 2007, is absolutely terrible. The fact that this is FWD is absolutely terrible. The GM-craptastic early-2000s interior is absolutely terrible.

303hp and meh styling can’t overcome the…

These are not hard to account for, really.

You sound like an asshole. Or a disgruntled tow truck driver.

There is no “what stipulates a necessary tow” clause in the AAA agreement.

1 was an older-gen (91) with the same engine. 1 was wrecked, and 1 was an aunt’s. So the (immediate) family had 3, but only 2 at any given time.

They still have 2 of them, and we’re talking over a term since the first one was bought in 1999..

Just add a bunch of fees.. which we’re not going to tell you how much they cost. WOW!

I mean, you can say what you want about the plastic interior, and early models seemed to have a lot of transmission issues, but the 4.3L V6 was a problem-free engine. My family had no less than 4 blazers with this engine, and the body rusted through or they were wrecked without the engine ever having any problems.

A 46k+ car with a 2.0l engine and fwd, and y’all are singing its praises?

Nah, it’s still definitely the money. If you had an EV SUV with decent range that was 25k it would be selling like hot cakes, no matter how retarded the dealers are.

It is, in terms of mainstream adoption. Economies of scale aren’t fully present. Oil and Gas prices aren’t really helping, and probably won’t. It’s quite possible we’ve hit peak oil.

Yes, we all said the same thing when LCD tvs came out. It takes time. 

I was thinking it was pretty ugly, it just looks “different” enough in that it is low and long. None of the times I see it do I think “that’s handsome,” mostly due to the busy-yet-generic looking front end. 

Yeah, Will is a bit full of shit here. Chrysler was doing fine in the early to mid-90s, had plenty of cars that were fun and reasonably competitive. It was the 2000s that sunk it.

For the Bolt..a comparable Corolla, for example, is $10K cheaper. Why would you, if money is a concern, buy a Bolt over a Corolla?

Federal tax rebates are nice, but they are not the same thing as cash and shouldn’t be counted as such.

Prices for mainstream EVs still have a ways to go before they begin selling like their…

So, for those of you who still think Tesla’s Autopilot is safer than a human driving, let’s look at the situation here:

It’s really pretty simple to figure out why.

5th Gear: Teslas will hold their value so long as they are under warranty. Once that warranty goes, they will plummet, given that there aren’t third party servicers. 

I see you aren’t familiar with our current president.
