That’s because the people who invented the internet had ideals and lofty goals for humanity.

No doubt. If you want to change consumption, then the only smart way to do it is to tax usage, not production. Mandating a vehicle be more efficient does not incentivize anyone to use it less, or choose only as much size and power as they actually NEED. Though ultimately it was the light truck exemptions to fuel…

They didn’t mislead the market with the Blazer, they misread the market and wasted the name. 

I think that CAFE regs were the kick in the pants to the US automakers that made them finally design good engines with fuel injection. On that aspect they were a huge success but the light truck loophole is obviously a disaster.

French automakers need to calm down, these warnings are hardly “anti-car”:

As someone that used to work in front end powertrain cooling validation, I can tell you with complete confidence that the square body would never meet cooling requirements today, especially on the HD’s. There are just too many heat exchangers now, and they’re stacked in every possible way (one in front of another, a…

completely off topic..but can you believe that K10 is one of those roll on Rustoleum paint jobs? that truck looks fantastic.

Man, GM had it sooooo right for one single model year with both the Chevy and GMC trucks.  MY2015 was perfect in all design aspects, and it’s been a snowball downhill since then.

“pandemic-electric blandness”

All I know is my gut says maybe.
