Third gear: Ford wasn’t invited because they don’t make Corvettes, and FCA is lame. Uncle Joe wants an armored C8 before 1/21/21.

Oh look Jeep made an H2...

Sometimes I forget how cool the early ‘00s were. It was like the ‘90s, but with Hummers.

Optimize the chassis for a BEV. The van is a unibody vehicle designed around a RWD ICE powertrain. It is designed to have an ICE, transmission, driveshaft, and rear axle, and is shaped to accommodate those pieces of powertrain. An optimized chassis would increase interior volume and allow room for increased battery…

Seems like the CTS coupe, ATS, and CT4 still have this design language on the rear end.

Just unplug the harness on the valve cover for the V-8-6-4 and you have a normal bulletproof Cadillac V8 with buttery smooth torque for days.

But the Chevy Bolt still doesn’t exist, amirite?

I hate to say it, but the Z32 was Nissan’s version of the C4. I still like both cars, but they were a bridge of subtlety from the C3/240ZX era to what we got in the ‘90s/’00s.

Part of the problem is that Tesla bypasses all of the hardware interlocks in order to go into “Supercharge” mode, basically connecting the battery directly to the mains after the rectifier while the charge controller monitors state of charge. No other manufacturer has or will design a charging system that will do…

These are the only words I can come up with to describe how ugly this vehicle is:

Amazon and UPS want to move to BEV vans because it’s cheaper to use them for short haul routes than paying fuel taxes (which pay for the repairs their heavy vans cause) for diesel and gas vans. Not too mention they can start hoarding and selling carbon credits under the new Biden regime.

Cars they sell in China, and just about everywhere else in the world, do not need to protect the driver or passengers if they are not wearing seatbelts. Cars GM sells in America MUST protect the driver and passengers if they are not wearing seatbelts. This is why GM and others cannot sell a five passenger jet ski on…

Probably not. Some airbag suppliers started using ammonium nitrate as the “inflator” of choice about 20 years ago which was more powerful, yet cheaper, than the old sodium azide inflators. The problem is that once the combustion chamber starts to degrade in high-humidity environments, it can’t handle the higher…

“Package layout” makes me wonder if there was a structural issue in the back or they needed more battery space near the back seats, so the midgate was a no-go. The original Avalanches required significant structural enhancement with the flying butresses in the back on the Suburban body. Too bad, I think it would have…

Trump will never serve a day in custody, ever. Trump. Will. Never. Serve. A. Day. In. Custody.

Kansas City is at that fine dividing line between rust bucket hell and pristine. It’s difficult to find classics around here that aren’t missing rockers and floor pans, but the frames are usually okay. You almost never see restored cars on the road after the first snowfall, though. Too much risk of getting road salt,…

4th gear: you will not find a more protectionist nation than France. Having a logo that resembles in any way a logo from a native company, especially Citroen, Peugeot, or Renault, is going result in fines and banishment. Polestar should be concerned about even sharing letters in their name with any of those three if…

Oh. I fondly remember my HHR...

Never let facts get in the way of Jalopnik’s agenda or Farley’s (weird) hatred of all things GM. Fact is that GM beat Ford and every other manufacturer other than Tesla to getting a mass-market EV with real battery range to production. The Hummer is a halo vehicle and will never sell in sufficient numbers to return…
