Does it come from the factory with built in head gasket issues?
Very cool deep dive into electric vehicle architecture and technology. I’ve seen this firms work, but this is a really great video that shows a LOT in a little time. Hey, you guys could be rivals to “Engineering explained!” WELL DONE!
Ford has a golden opportunity here. With the market shift to all things truck/crossover they can cause a paradigm shift in the marketplace. I remember the incredible excitement of the original mustang, and while time has marched on Ford just MIGHT catch GM snoozing again. The Blazer is somewhat bland looking and…
Cadillac needs a “Dr Evil” edition where they do a surcharge of “One Gazillion dollars.”
Except the cars do sell. It’s not like they are losing money on them. WE bailed GM out with our tax dollars and they are now very profitable. So, when GM has a chance they screw the people over and shut down plants that make lower price products to emphasize high profit trucks and crossovers. IT’s called short…
Yes, Dodge really had the nicest interiors of all the trucks at NIAIS.
Great point indeed, GM trucks may be “Cheap to build” but next to the competition they FEEL cheaper made. That and the loss of efficiency is a bowl of bad when things get tight. And with record auto loan levels I have to wonder if this is a crisis in the making that will be exacerbated with by Barra’s decision to…
LOL, these two are like two ugly cats fighting in a bag. You know it’s wrong, but you have to look anyway. But then, who is the fool? They get PAID to do this dung.
The last implementation of an old technology (in this cast, friction braking) is often demonstrably superior to new technology (conversion of kinetic energy of movement to electrical energy, such as when you lift off your foot to coast in a Prius and it recharges the battery)
My son, who was considering a new Buick Regal Tour x (we had wagons growing up) wrote off ALL of GM when they announced the layoffs. Period. Now looking at Honda.
Likely mid to high 40s mileage out of this skyactive X- the magic sauce is NOT the hybrid part but the entire paradigm shift in the combustion process. IF this is successful, and I HOPE it is, the whole paradigm of gasoline combustion engines is subject to change and will.
Harley HAS to change to survive. Currently their “Loyal customers” are aging and dying out of the market. Compounding the fact are some really crappy dealers who like to focus more on the “Culture” than the ride. Add to the fact that some Harley rides are over 40k now, and that quality is NOT always the highest…
That big ol’ booty is not so cutey! Sure hope the new Corvette sets the bells ringing, but for now, for me, this set off some alarm bells.
Soichiro Honda was BAD ASS. It’s funny that there is little biographical information available about his life, at least in the USA. No big books like Iacocca or Lutz have written. I guess he let his work do the talking....
The 95 octane idea is one whose time has come, and is likely soon to be behind us. Mazda’s spark mediated HCCI has a compression ratio of some 16 to 1 and uses 87 octane fuel.
Sorry, Hillary lost, so did you- get over yourself, the rest of us have.
The justice system does not serve justice, it delivers a CHANCE at justice. OJ may have gotten away with murder, but the God who made the universe knows the truth, and will NEVER be fooled.
