The EV1 was actually leased through Saturn dealers. They did all of the factory service on them too.

I like Hummer owners. I think they were some of the best SUVs ever marketed.

GM is bringing back the wrong brand. All GM-made EVs should be Saturn. I personally never had a problem with Hummer, but if they honestly think people have forgotten the Hummer Stigma from 15 years ago, they’re on Mars. It’s the same stupidity that gave us the Yukon Hybrid. Great technology, worked well, nobody bought…

The MAX was built for customers like Southwest whose NGs are cycling out and won’t make the hop to Hawaii, and overseas operators that have massive numbers of old 737-200s still flogging about. Those customers cannot inexpensively convert their infrastructure and crew training over to a completely new aircraft, so…

This is probably the most fake news I’ve seen on Jalopnik outside April Fool’s Day. No HR manager would dare violating the terms and regulations surrounding consumer credit checks for hiring (credit checks are not used to make continued employment decisions) to comment on the state of an employee’s vehicle. No VP…

We need to get something else straight here.

Hating on the Equinox is like hating on the Lumina in 1993. It’s an average care with average styling. The average Equinox buyer probably grew up in a Chevy family or lives in a town with 20 Chevy dealers and one Mazda dealer nowhere near where they live. They got a good deal on a SmartLease and it has heated seats.…

2d gear: The 737MAX is dead. They will fix all of them and they will be used for a little while to get the depreciation, but they will be retired to lease service in places like Lithuania and Ukraine quickly and some may remain in freighter service if someone makes DHL/FEDEX/UPS an offer they can’t refuse, like the…

One of my old high school teachers was a car salesman before he went into education. He gave us a lesson on dealership tricks one day and simply told us, don’t pay more than 85% of sticker before September 1 of the model year, don’t pay more than 80% of sticker after September 1, never buy any of the extra stuff in…

Sooo, it’s already had the engine and clutch rebuilt, decent paint, and is a smidge over double what David Tracy paid for his, not counting airfare, hotels, parts, and tools to get that wreck back from Colorado, or his wounded friendship with his best “wrenching” buddy? My good man, are you trolling Mr. Tracy?

So, Kia hates the Midwest too? I could literally do 100% of my daily driving with this and still be able to drive almost anywhere in my state before needing to charge.

Honestly, the XLR crowd has enough of an axe to grind on many things with these cars, the tailights are the least of their problems. The convertible top mechanism is almost completely unservicable and they have a RWD Northstar engine. I’d be willing to bet that Eckler’s or Mid America Corvette has a vendor on the line…

They’ll fix the planes within the next 18 months and the line will start back up as usual. The DC-10 proved that literally nobody cares about the make and model of the airliners they are flying, even with a high body count.

Neutral: As soon as Elon announced the payload and towing capability, I knew this was a 3/4 ton truck. But I really don’t feel sorry for Ford because they’ve been touting the F-150 as a competitor to 3/4 ton trucks ever since they announced the 12,500 lb. tow rating, and they also featured a prototype electric F-150…

1. Car Phone *check*

Interesting. GM did this exact same strategy...right before they went bankrupt. Ford’s problem is that they don’t have any affordable cars in the pipeline in the largest new vehicle market in the world. If they start decontenting what they have left, consumers will just flock to Kia and Hyundai so they can get Car…

So they basically removed everything that made the SLX/Trooper a legit, off-road capable SUV in the name of “handling”?

My parents almost bought me a turquoise Beretta Indy in 1995 for $4,000 for my 16th birthday. My Mom’s credit union would not approve the loan, even with $1,000 down.

They aren’t studying planet-killing asteroids with those telescopes, and even if they were, the large, close asteroids would not be occluded by the Starlink sats.
