All automakers are big, lumbering things. They can’t respond in a few week’s time. Gas prices have only been way up for a few weeks (not including the griping about nominal prices prior to Feb. 19). It’s impossible to respond this quickly, even if all you have to do is hit the on switch at an idled plant. Also, modern…

A possibility is that the Vegas were to be sold (or were sold) in markets that required amber rear indicators, so they were ready to add the capability. Recent GM cars, such as the Cruze sedan and Equinox, also had a bowl for amber rear turns (clear lens, amber bulb) that was used in other markets, such as China. We…

Subwoofers are why I hate apartment life and want to move out to the country where such noises are few and far between.

Currently, Mach-E. Bolt EV is pretty solidly in Lake Orion, but GM wants to start Ultium production in Ramos Arizpe, and has confirmed that’s where the Acura EV is going to be built. But if EVs are the next big thing, then it’s inevitable that production will happen in Mexico.

I feel like it’s a mistake to call this a CRX successor. It’s a GREAT Insight successor.

This thing spawned my favorite OEM part of all time: A Toyota badge with a GM part number

I *might* be the genesis for another Vibe-related post on Jalopnik... I mentioned it to DT at Woodward a couple weeks back. I have no shame for this.

I’ll one-up you: IMPORT a Voltz, dress it up like my Vibe, go to a car show, and park them across the aisle from each other... One in the Domestic section, one in Import.

It will come to your door, drop you off at your door, and has no infrastructure to build other than base station facilities. It’s feasible to replace your private car with one of these with fewer drawbacks than going to mass-transit system.

If they’re disabling/not enabling things that are physically installed in your car, I have an inherent problem with that.

Hello Road on Youtube. Fantastic production values, and deep in the ‘rad’ era of cars.

Aging Wheels, also Youtube. He has a Trabant, Reliant Robin, a Wheego, a car hauler-RV bus project, a Yugo, and a woodworking channel. And chickums!

Automakers owe the fans of a brand/name only if they want to keep them as customers.

You need this more than me, because that’s a stretch

I presume this is similar to the Corolla, where the rear mount is a J hook that loops into a hole down below. A small Google search seems to indicate this. If the two nuts holding the tie-down in place get frozen together, and you put in a smaller battery, the battery can easily slide about. However, the mention of…

Given Triohead’s reply that the longest route is 190 miles or so, a Post Office may be wary of a 240mi range in the cold. If we use a 40% range reduction, which might be conservative given some sources, that’s suddenly a 144 mile range. No bueno. Some offices could also prefer their trucks to remain ICE for surge, or…

We should consider that Oshkosh is already a huge supplier for the US Government. They’re a known quantity in terms of how effective their vehicles are, how well they hold up, manufacturing ability, sustainability, and delivery. That plus the fact that SOME mail trucks will need to be ICE for longer rural routes, and…

Call me when the Wilderness BRZ becomes a thing

This was likely bought by a member of the production team. Freiburger posts on his Instagram when he’s selling stuff he personally owns, and the company probably wouldn’t sell a car out of Whittier.

This is not the Pontiac Vibe revival we were looking for, but I think we can accept it
