Similar thing happened to my wife’s CTS coupe , the main crank bearing seized with less than 10k miles. We had to kick scream and fight the whole way to get GM to help us. They tried to re-build the motor but after that the engine would randomly stall. They tried to sort it out several times after that with no luck ,…

Their version of the man step is a nice simple design , but when you have your hands full it becomes useless

Yeah I love the truck , engine has tons of effortless torque too. I was just making fun of closed minded people. Every old guy at work I talk to about the engine has it in their head “ that tiny motor must have to scream to make that power.” When in reality it is quit the opposite, makes tons of power low in the revs

Seams like the majority of people complaining about the ecoboost don’t actually own one. I went from a gmc with the 5.3 v8 to a 3.5 ecoboost . I get 1 mpg better in all situations than the 5.3 v8 and with loads more power. I currently have 65k on the ecoboost , still waiting for the engine to “grenade” like I have…

Doesn’t it matter more where the company invests those profits than where the HQ is ? Say company XYZ has HQ in the USA , does it really matter if the profits go the HQ in USA if XYZ in turn takes those profits and invests in China with new plants and hires Chinese workforce .

I thought GM/Ford were building a 10 speed and debuting in 2017 MY , or is that just Ford?

In Germany it is illegal to pass on the right

Sometimes chevy talks out both sides of their mouth . They made a statement about their new 4.3 L V6 being a “purpose built truck motor” unlike the competition that puts “car engines “ in a truck . Then they deprive their new Colorado of this “truck engine “ and put a “car engine” in it.

That would be sweet , gotta love competition .

Exactly ! Not many people can grasp that. Peak numbers are great for selling cars and bragging at the bar to your buddies .

I think the m2 will check those boxes . That size car is more in line with what the original m3s were . The new m3 is way bigger and has become more of a stout Gt car/ autobahn bruiser

I saw it , I was just agreeing with bbutle. Nothing to your comment

True about Silverado , I agree. All three brands have taken different approaches

The Fully loaded F-150 with a lot of extra features including the heavy full glass roof is the truck that is withing a 100lbs of the Silverado High country . Compare an xlt with the 2.7/5.0 vs the silverado with the 5.3 , that is where you will see big weight difference (normal buyers trim levels). Still not as…

Can a 6' tall adult sit behind another 6' tall adult ?

I grew up in a large family with no money, hard working blue collar parents . We all were still very respectful to everyone and maintained what little we had , kept ourselves clean/presentable even with hand me down cloths. We maintained our house and old worn out vehicles even if it meant being resourceful at times…

Its not a race thing its how you portray yourself to others . If you drive a maintained car , it demonstrates you are responsible and respectful of the law regardless the age of the car. If you drive a beater with broken exhaust and tail lights out, it shows you are lazy and disrespectful to the law and others on the…

Exactly ! Ford added a lot of creature comforts to their platinum. Also , the biggest weight add on with the Ford top trim level is the huge glass panel roof, the structural support for it , motors to open it. That glass roof has to weigh quite a bit. Just like the article demonstrates a little weight loss here and…

Why did they build it the same size as the A8 , 7 series , S - class
