Good luck finding one. They stopped making them a little while ago. 

The BMW that was holding up the lead Corvette was 55 laps down from the race leaders; at that point your not even in contention. In my opinion IMSA should have penalized the entire BMW team for this move. It’s simply unsportsmanlike.

The BMW wasn’t just “a few laps down”, he was 55 laps down from the race leaders. He repeatedly tried to hold up the Corvette, which is what got him the penalty; and this incident happened just before he went into the pits to serve that penalty. IMSA should have penalized the whole BMW team for this move.

Oh, for sure. And I do believe that GM should give consumers as much choice and flexibility as possible in this regard; after all, nearly 60% of US smart phones users have an Apple device. But I’m just saying that the system at least works well, and isn’t a complete disaster to use. 

Don’t be obtuse.

I’m not offended by plastic body panels, I own a C8 Z06. Lol. I certainly think composite panels will become more prevalent in the future. Many advantages to working with those materials (but also some disadvantages).

The new Shelby GT350 was unveiled today… limited production (562 units) and $100k+ price.

Actually some great deals on CPO Lyriqs right now. I don’t think I would opt for a Blazer EV over a Lyriq at those prices.

That rear lighting design is the same across all Lyriqs, not just the new V. It does give the car a unique character, but I agree it’s a bit over the top in my opinion.

What percentage of Corvette Z06/Zr1, Blackwings, Porsches, Ferarris, Lambos, etc will ever go to the track?

What do you drive and what size is the battery?

Yeah. I sincerely doubt that anyone buying a Lyriq has track days in mind. The standard Lyriq is already really good. This exists for the same reason the Range Rover SVR does, to give people an opportunity to spend more money.

Wasn’t that the whole point of the “skateboard” EV platform? One basic starting point for every model?

Our challenge is that we don’t really know what we would replace it with at this point; the new GC offerings don’t quite appeal to us. My wife doesn’t want an EV to replace it, since it serves as our long haul family cruiser; and she also doesn’t want something smaller or bigger, or too luxurious. She’s particular…

China’s battery tech is not 100% “homegrown”. https://www.npr.org/2022/08/03/1114964240/new-battery-technology-china-vanadium

You’re right that they didn’t steal it, we gave it to them:

We have a ‘20 WK2 GC 4x4 with the V8 and the local dealer has been hounding us to sell it back to them. Haha. I guess lots of people still want a Jeep with a V8. We don’t plan to get rid of it for a while, but who knows, maybe for the right offer we could be encouraged. 

I think the Prius VS Prius Prime is an interesting discussion. As much as I like the idea of doing my commute in full EV mode, the cost differential means the standard Prius is actually the more cost-conscious option. I think an Equinox EV would be a better option than the Prius Prime for someone looking to do mostly…

I mean, exciting products cost money. Ford sells a $100k+ Bronco and Raptor, and a $300k+ Mustang too. MSRP for a CT4 ($63k) is actually less than a Mustang Dark Horse ($65k).

I think it hurts less for people who are used to Android devices, since the new system was developed in partnership with Google; so it feels a lot more familiar to them. I’ve had a chance to get hands on with the new system and I will say it really isn’t bad. It’s much better than I thought it would be, so I will give…
