This is such a weird take:

Let’s look it like this


BMW’s iX3 won’t be in every market, and it’s clearly an X3 with batteries stuffed in it, which means it’s probably not all that great.

Lexus and Toyota have openly said they don’t really care for EV’s; the only EV they have is a european-only Lexus UX which has no range.…

So why is it taking so long to get a real luxury rival into the market?

Seems a little unfair to compare this to the e-tron, which is a hasty conversion dating to the dieselgate era and which is a stopgap as the company awaits the full rollout of the MEB platform; or to the EQC, which is a hasty conversion that isn’t available in the US which is a stopgap as the company awaits the full…

The douchebaggery of the hacks at jalopnik is limitless...

Well considering the 2021s are hitting the lot, it'll probably be out this time next year

Every car you listed sells like shit. Sorry GM isnt going fast enough into market that is only buying Teslas.

Current Jalopnik staff hate GM and that’s all there is to it. If this was a Lexus or Infiniti the tone and title would’ve been drastically different. Hoping your new EIC can clean the staff up, this isn't what Jalopnik was built on.

Jalopnik hates GM

Gorgeous vehicle; it looks very French.

Clickbaity anti-GM title; sounds very Jalopnik.

Holy shit, this. I am no fanboy either but I’m sure I look like it because I feel half my comments these days are calling out Raph and Erik on their crusade against Tesla because... reasons?  This may be the worst take yet. 

Couldn’t agree more. Work in the industry, and remember attending conferences where the Toyota/Scion folks would brag their marketing was so precisely targeted, I’d probably never seen one of their ads, as I was 10 years past their target market (“precisely targeted” meant ads in DUB and the laddie mags, Maxim, etc.).

1st Gear: I’m no apologist for Tesla, trust me. But Tesla has a solid track record of, like, actually manufacturing shit. Maybe not on schedule, and perhaps not with the greatest quality, but building units and pushing them out the door on a daily basis. Nikola? They just broke ground on a manufacturing facility that…

Agreed, and I’m surprised the article didn’t mention that. Scion wasn’t necessarily a failure in the sense that they did sell quite a few cars and the model of having highly customizable vehicles from the dealer was fairly unique. You are correct that they didn’t hit their target market at all and the people who were…

The 2nd gen Cruze is such a surprisingly good car that it angers me even more they killed it over the Sonic. I almost bought our last Cruze, a 2018 diesel hatch that had been sitting on our lot for almost two years, at a steep discount and regret I didn’t do it. 

They seem pretty good at keeping them on the lots because they only sold half of what the Trax did last year.

That’s my biggest critique of Jalopniks Blazer/Trailblazer take: GM produced what the market asked for. Edgy looking CUVs with good MPG is what people want and what GM needs to sell to survive.

I just don’t understand how this can be. Jalopnik and readers have been insistent on how bad the Trail Blazer is, and why GM and Chevrolet were wrong not to go “Retro” like the Bronco.     Huh. 

Most folks aren’t car enthusiasts, they just go out and buy whatever size crossover they think they want for the lowest price they can find. If they’re buying new, it’s sure to be a nicer ride than whatever they were driving before. That’s an oversimplification of course, but not by that much really.

Working in Chevrolet sales, I’m not at all surprised about the information presented on the TrailBlazer. We can’t keep the things on our lots, especially the 1.2 LS with the Confidence/Cruise Package, as they really do present a good value. For $22,990, you’re getting tons of space and technology that appeals to The…

I guess lots of people asked their doctor if Kia Seltos was right for them.
