Except Buick’s colors have always been Red, White, and Blue.

As easy as it is to dunk on Buick, this is actually a really nice update. the infotainment alone is a massive upgrade from the ultra cheap looking one GM put in everything.

The only complaint, aside from the weak powertrain, is all the dang badges on the back. Once this thing gets all the dealer crap tacked on there…

He complained it would not let him get close enough to cars without pressing the gas to override it.

Though, I do feel like the Denali is the sweet spot without stepping up to a Navigator or Escalade.

Remember that the Silverado/Sierra have already gotten their mid cycle update, but the SUV’s haven’t. Once the SUV’s get to their mid cycle year, I assume they will share interiors with the trucks, which will be awesome. The layouts in the new trucks are soooooooo good.

Yukon picture was Kinja’d:

For 80(+)% of the buyers of these things, they will prefer that over a top trim Expedition. (TBF, the expedition interior seems pretty tacky.)  Most are either stuborn and technology adverse or buying it for utilitarian needs, as it is “just” a chevy.

Wants: Weird, unique, preferably European

That’s even better, and just as accurate. You win.

Thank you for actual technical talk instead of Elon bad or Elon good.

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

I would guess it’s more like an attempt to get funding based on hype. They are a very real company with real products in other countries, just nothing to offer the US market right now. So they’re somewhere between Nikola/Lordstown & Rivian.

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

Can someone please explain to me why any one ever finances through a dealer...? Genuinely i dont get it...

I was a reluctant NP until the salvage title thing.  ND.

As someone who was old enough to drive in the era when Honda/Acura engine swaps/thefts were big, I can tell you that high theft loss vehicles had higher rates than similar vehicles with lower theft rates.

Translation: “The 911 is a fantastic, attractive, charismatic, and enjoyable car, and if it was a person, it would likely have lots of sex.”

It’s far easier for the motorcycle ignorant to just rag on Harley. I’m not a Harley guy, have never owned a Harley, but to think HD is just some poor performing t-shirt company is some old-ass, ignorant trope that gets trotted out by dumb writers and commenters.

Crap lede. Here’s a rewrite: “HD Core business performing, e-bike business may take years to be profitable.” Hey! Kind of like the auto business.
