I thought a Metris would be a great candidate for a family van until I watched Doug de Muro’s video. It’s too bad because it had RWD and a 5000 lbs towing capacity, plus the engine must have some tuning potential, but his video demonstrated how ill-equipped the Metris would be for family duty.

GMC is going to piss off a lot of contractors if they throw $1500 of OnStar connectivity bullshit on every Sierra.

A used car dealership west of Toronto has a 2600 km (1615 mile) example for sale listed at $54,000 CDN ($42,000 USD)!!! The MSRP is only $47,150 CDN, so they’re asking nearly $7,000 over MSRP, and that’s not including the tax credit that was already redeemed when the vehicle was new.

Is it a pool or is it a fire suppression dunk tank that can be dressed up as a pool until it’s needed?

Chevy giving the base engine less towing capacity than a well equipped Maverick is stupid.

I thought about using my house as a thermal battery, but then I started to wonder about humidity. Even if I cooled my house down to 60F/15C at night, once the sun comes up and humid air gets into the house from the front door opening and closing, I start to get noticeably uncomfortable right at 48-50% humidity, even…

The 2 minutes of added labour is nonsense. The sales people waste far more than 2 minutes walking back and forth between the customer and the sales manager to hammer out a price.

Google says it means “baptist”

From the article: “Either calculation assumes a sales professional paid $21.84 an hour spending 2 minutes preparing and delivering each disclosure”

If they pass that cost on to consumers and we assume America averages 17 million new car sales per year, that comes to an average $8 per new car sold over the next 10 years.

If I recall correctly the two engines in the Jeep Hurricane did not each power their own axle, but rather each power one side of the vehicle. So the front engine would power the driver’s side wheels and the rear engine would power the passenger’s side wheels. With the independent wheel steering, that supposedly would…

That’s a really weird stat to make up, but it is actually true about the current ND MX-5/Miata with the manual transmission. Sixth gear is 1:1 and it does not have an overdrive.

The price is too damn high, but the colour is wonderful. Hopefully Minted Green becomes a regular production colour, but with a different name.

Seems odd that they would let it slip that the Titan is doomed while still planning on selling it for another 2-3 years.

I believe gas prices do play a part in our current market, but before gas prices spiked the main reason Teslas didn’t depreciate very quickly was because of their year long waiting lists.

One of the reasons Teslas don’t depreciate as quickly right now is because they can’t build cars fast enough. Some models have a year long waiting list. If someone goes to sell a lightly used one, they can often sell it for more than they paid because the current ones have gone up in price so much and someone can buy…

It looks like a hell of a lot of fun, but the price is steep and that’s before dealers throw ADM on top because they know it will be in demand.

Uh, no the don’t! EVs have historical depreciated faster than comparable ICE vehicles, just look at all the cheap Nissan Leafs, Mitsubishi iMiEVs, Fiat 500Es, Chevrolet Bolts, Ford Focus Electrics etc.

He’s referring to the GR Corolla

There’s a good chance that this chassis was developed by/with Mazda and we’ll see their RX-Vision Concept come to life as well. Fingers crossed for one last rotary engine hurrah before ICE gets killed by government policy.
