Yet another blow to the world’s largest cosplay company

Oh, I’m sure there would be a feeling a few hours later.

I truly appreciate this article. But no amount of scrubbing will make me feel like I’m not eating some amount of oil and/or grease.

I bet 80% of the time to write this was dedicated to the task of choosing the perfect cover photo. There were so many good options to choose from.

Okay, I don’t necessarily dissagree with you and definitely see where you’re coming from now. They’re obviously afraid of slipping back into the days of badge swapping. But really, it probably just comes down to having too many badges. Simplifying further would help in terms of quality. (Un)fortuanately Buick and GMC…

Despite it’s flaws and it being a concept. This things looks great. Even better than a Model S or Taycan.

I’d say that other companies are more open to lawsuits so they make them as reliable and safe as possible. If automatic braking with a traditional automaker caused a crash, then yeah, the company can be sued. So they make these systems as full proof as possible. This is the real reason no OEM has released a true hands…

I’m honestly amazed the frame has enough structural integrity that it actually stays straight and isn’t bent between the cab and the bed.

Really though. These moves are setting up GM as a stronger, more resilient company.

No, he is saying they need to focus on the quality issues of their bread and butter. Launching a product with no issues. But yes the trucks are the bread and butter of GM’s product line.

I’m honestly upset they dropped the technology. The problem was the form factor. No one wants a sedan. They could have dropped it in an Equinox and easily doubled the sales at least.

You can definitely argue that these moves make GM a stronger company that is focused on profits over losing money in markets they won’t succeed.

Jobs. Money. Increasing thoughts of wondering why you moved there.

Grew up in Florida. I feel your pain.

You know I saw that engine lift in your drive way earlier this week and thought “David Tracy is crazy to be pulling an engine in the middle of February.”
