That’s a possibility, but I don’t see it happening. That would crush the economy because over 600 dealerships in Michigan alone would no longer be necessary. They would stay open as service centers, but that’s about it. If the Big 3 went direct to consumer, that would make dealerships obsolete across the country, and…

GM, being based in Michigan, would never take a direct to consumer sales approach because Michigan doesn’t allow direct to consumer sales. If you want a Tesla in Michigan, you have to buy it out of state and then register it here.

You clearly didn’t see the lead picture in the article...

Two different platforms. The new Escalade is on the T1xx chassis, same as the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon and the Hummer is the first to be on a completely new chassis. Same motors and same batteries are inevitable just because they’re using the best that they can at the moment, so unless there’s a new battery/motor…

You’re a bad journalist

Sales figures are way down? If you’re referring to sales figures in 2020, yeah, of course they are. You mean to tell me that people stuck inside with no jobs and no income besides unemployment (which the $600/week additional federal ended 2 weeks ago) aren’t buying new cars?! Who would have thought?!

People are like, “you used to be able to buy a brand new car for under $15,000 ten years ago!”

Hey dickweed, your precious Honda Fit makes less hp than the Trailblazer, even in 2020. It weighs 600 lbs more, but it’s a more functional vehicle. You can also spend $2000 more and get the 1.3L with 155hp.

That’s because they’re two different vehicles and both will likely sell well. Escalades have always sold well, and an EV Hummer isn’t going to steal sales from people that want an EV, but also want an Escalade. They’ll wait for it

I’ve had my Galaxy S7 Active for the last 3 years, and it was purchased used on ebay already a year old at the time for $400. It still works great, sometimes maps is a little slow, and sometimes it acts a little fucky, but it works great for what I use it for. The only reason I would want a new phone is because of a…

You sold a few cars and now you have money burning a hole in your pocket (not much unlike the rust holes in the cars you own) lol

Oh yeah, I have no doubts that the tooling will be paid off, but until recently, the Ranger was built in and for foreign markets. Creating tooling for NA production and sales is still expensive, but I guess the design engineering is already done, it’s just creating copies of tooling and validating it. But I guess my…

Also, Rivian showed up with a real product and a real plan and got funding from Amazon and Ford, two companies that know what their doing in terms of production, automotive engineering, and distribution.

The Blazer sells 100k per year in North America. I’m not sure how many are sold in China on top of that. Being built on a platform that is also shared with the Traverse, Acadia, Enclave, XT5, and XT6, this thing hardly costs GM at all. I’d be surprised if the Bronco is actually more profitable than the Blazer. It’s…

The Trailblazer doesn’t share a platform with the Encore. The North American Encore shares a new global platform with the Trax. The new Trailblazer shares a platform with the Encore GX, which isn’t the same as the standard Encore. The new generation China market Encore uses that same platform as well, but that hasn’t…

How can you say cars today aren’t sensible? Crossovers, as uninspiring as they may be, are incredibly sensible. We get it, you drive a Fit and don’t actually like cars

All these fuckers are going to go home and go shopping around their hometowns and then die 2-3 weeks from now, having already infected thousands of others

Seems pretty easy to interpret... read the paragraph after those sentences. 

It’s also only $2,000 less than a Cadillac CT4, which has equivalent power and looks better (in sedan form, hatchbacks look better than sedans). You can likely get incentives and deals on the CT4 that actually make it less expensive than the Mazda 3 turbo

5th gear: At this price, you’re better in a Cadillac CT4. That Alpha chassis is unbelievably good, and unlike the CT5, it actually looks great! Base model MSRP is just over $32k and it comes standard with a turbo 2.0L making 237hp.
