I think the saddest thing is that GM had a great idea in the Volt’s powertrain but never bothered to do the smart thing and dump it into a mid size SUV. The 2nd gen Volt is a great car but it’s still a compact and I get they were going for max efficiency numbers but the segment alone was a blocker for many people. 

I can’t possibly imagine they actually think someone would pay anywhere near that much for it. Maybe they hope CDPR would cave to demands? It’s not like their games are doing anything groundbreakingly impressive that someone would benefit from it. Maybe if they stole it in November and a version of the game could have

I used to love setting those off at Spencers Gifts in the mall back in the day. right next to the Rockin’ Chicken alarm clock.

I wonder more if it’s the difference of the internet being a thing and the loudest voices being heard are the ones with the problem. How wide spread the issue actually is may be to soon to tell. New hardware is always a gamble as they often refine things over time a bit.

There’s barely any room for muscle cars anymore and you want them to add more? Plymouth is dead. Leave it there. The reality is they are in trouble across the board. They make waves with 700hp cars that aren’t made with the best materials but go like crazy but soon they’ll need to get on the electric band wagon and

Pretend to care about it as a brand and make product for it in the “luxury” space it pretends to play in.

This is a cruiser not a race bike. 

It would be the case of “I did something stupid that will cost a lot to fix so I need to blame someone else and see if they’ll pay for it.”

I hate these big mergers and buyouts. It never really seems to do much good unless you are a stock holder or C level executive. 

I’m looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the first two games and am excited to see what the expanded capabilities of the Switch can do for the series. 

I will buy this.

Feels like a miss. The interior is dated looking and it’s not even on sale yet. At least it’s better then the older model. 

Changing the battery isn’t that hard but it’s also not simple like on a DS where it’s one screw on a door. It’s involved enough where I think most people wouldn’t undertake it. 

I’ve test driven the Model S performance version. It’s definitely quick but it just didn’t do anything for me. I accept that at some point those kinds of cars will be what we’re left to choose from but it’s just not the same experience. 

I don’t know. I don’t see it as that big an issue. Yeah Scalpers are horrible and will impact to a small degree what gets into peoples hands but as inventory now trickles into actual brick and mortar stores people will find them. Also The payday for scalpers is kinda past after Christmas. I’m always checking on places

As they move toward electrics, transmissions and definitely manuals are a thing of the past. This is the best we are gonna see of this kind from Cadillac. GM might have one last V8 engine in the Corvette to unveil and that’s probably the end of non electric performance R&D.

I’m sure they’ll drive great and sound lovely but I’m left feeling meh. As what will be the last hurrah for the gas engine Caddy’s the seem to be pretty much a carry over in a wrapper that’s just not as exciting as the prior one. This was the last shot. Everything from here on will be electric and that makes me sad. I

Honestly it’ll be small companies like Factory Five. At least until engines themselves are out right banned.

I mean Google has a long list of creating things and then getting bored with them. This one was DOA and I think most here expected it to eventually flop. This is just the beginning of a slow death.

Perhaps. That is also assuming you wait till all of this stuff needs to be done at once. Each job on it’s own is only a few hours at most and even then you could choose to do the simpler and straight forward ones and leave the more troublesome stuff for the shops. One can save quite a bit doing it on their own.
