They should have called it the Bronco II.

AUTOnomy was a hydrogen fuel cell project, NOT a BEV. GM gave up on BEVs after the EV1 was cancelled, recalled, and crushed. AUTOnomy was introduced after that. GM’s fuel cell tech was also basically abandoned after the bankruptcy because the Obama Administration’s car czar refused to allow them to continue…
That’s either single or dual channel, depending on the manufacturer. Had a ‘91 S-10 with ABS on the rear axle and a ‘92 Corsica with 4 wheel/channel ABS. Four channel systems adjust the proportioning according to the speed detected for each wheel. Pulling the handbrake for either system (not easily done with the…
This entire article and linked video is terrible advice. The editors should remove it out of concern for public safety. ABS braking systems are specifically designed to reduce stopping length in slippery conditions and the proportioning is actively changed when you are using a four-channel system designed anytime in…
Here’s the thing: the dealers don’t care and neither do the banks. Sure, a bank repo’d the car, tanked the customer’s credit, and “lost” $8,000 on the vehicle. They didn’t lose anything. They received most of the interest on the loan when the vehicle was being paid on, especially if it was in the first few years of…
Everything about this article is the correct take. The sedans and coupes are not profitable. Nobody is cross-shopping the Euro and Asian brands with Cadillac and Lincoln. The only competition for the Escalade and XT6/XT4 comes from Lincoln and maybe Lexus. Nobody is buying their cars, and when they did, it was mostly…
Everyone complaining about GM cancelling a “premium” product that they finally got around to building doesn’t get it. Blackwing was a halo project designed specifically for a halo car that nobody bought. The product was too expensive for the market and GM management is finally at the point where they know that nobody…
FYI, the VC-25A is nowhere near 40 years old. SAM 28000 was first used to transport George H.W. Bush in 1990. It never transported Reagan while he was President. The interior of the aircraft was designed by Nancy Reagan and the color scheme of the furnishings is completely different from the Kennedy-era aircraft, yet…
I’m totally willing to concede that point, but I looked it up on the forums too, and this JT had a build date of October 2019 and 4800 miles on the odo. Apparently others are experiencing the issue with vehicles they’ve purchased with little to no support from FCA. From what I’ve gathered, the JK really didn’t have…
I just rented one for over a week in Florida last week. It was a free upgrade to the economy rental I booked and I jumped at the chance to take it when the rental agent offered it. I have owned an extended cab Colorado and Sonoma in the past and was expecting a similar experience.
Georgia requires doc fees to be included in the price of the vehicle. If it’s not on the Monroney sticker and they add it after you’ve agreed to a price, it’s illegal.
Volt was dead on arrival. It was the poster child for the bailout and nobody would touch it. Honestly, I think the Bolt should have been a Saturn too.
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…
