The price is...okay, pretending it only needs the Hybrid battery and nothing else. Hard to find good listings on just Hybrids, but LTZ Tahoes in this mileage seem to be going for the low teens, so this is on-par once fixed.

Seems like a nice enough neighborhood that they could come up with $2500, either via cash or a credit card at the minimum.

End result - what else is wrong with this thing?

Now if only they could get their shit together on issuing out a title. Bought my C6Z during a business trip/visiting a good friend in the Charlotte area last December. Paid cash via wire to the guy’s lender in person. They released the electronic title to the DMV, yet it took the DMV WEEKS to get the title to the

Everyone keeps touting this 20k price tag, but no one is going to want the poverty spec truck. The hybrid is FWD only (have to go Ecoboost to go AWD).

If you want to have a semi-capable truck (one that at least has AWD and can tow the 4000lbs), you are at over 25k with destination...and that’s with the pretty crappy XL

Seriously - are these other companies not embarrassed by the electric vehicle performance compared to Tesla?

Shitty range + slower than a Model 3 Performance while costing a whole lot more. I’m sure the Audi is has a much better fit/finish and is nicely appointed, but it’s hard to not see how awful the performance of

Towing a motorcycle is hardly towing.  How about something with some real weight and size.  Towing with a manual sucks.

Don’t do much towing, do you?

“Automatic” is too broad of a term.

For towing, I want a torque converter automatic. Truck has that, not that I had a choice but is what I would have picked regardless.

For daily on the street, I love a manual but a dual-clutch automatic is fine.

For fun street toy or fun track car - manual.

Fast track toy - dual-clutch

That sounds boring.  Before I was working from home, I daily commuted in my 335i 6MT.  Major metro area, driving from the burbs going on surface streets, freeway, and a couple back roads for a 30 minute commute.  Loved having a stick for that.

These numbers are suspect at best. I haven’t tracked Australian car prices, but have on wakeboats and they spend FAR more than we do in the US (to the point they are the number one exporter of US wakeboats, even though some of the brands manufacturer there). They would rather spend 100k USD and pay several thousand in

production limited to just 350 total, with 300 of those coming to the States

This is the 2nd least desirable iteration (QV rag top) of what most consider Ferrari’s least desirable model. Only worse one would be the Mondial 8.

And at 5 years, it is due for another major. Wonderful.

These cars are slow, don’t handle well, don’t look all that good, extreme maintenance and repair costs, and even

Anyone paying 38k for a new Mitsubishi today likes to simply piss money away, period.

These are the buyers even Nissan doesn’t want.

Absolutely. A student in our Taekwondo school died (he had heart condition - the death wasn’t class related) and we donated to his family for funeral expenses.

I want the Chevy Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT back. I owned a 2002 Avalanche North Face Edition (sold to a good friend years ago and he still has it and loves it). Has an ‘07 EXT as well and sold it around 160k miles.

I love those trucks.  I like my ‘18 Sierra but there is something about that platform that

I don’t buy FWD vehicles and discourage others from doing so. My bet is this will be FWD, so that’s a hard no. They will probably want way too much for it too.

I refuse to read this slideshow.

#1 - it is a slideshow. NO
#2 - it is rehashing comments from an article released earlier today.  It hasn’t even had time to get fully commented on yet

How can you possibly say 5 years? The first of these electric trucks are 1-2 years out for the most part. A truck usually has a 5 year life cycle. There is basically no chance we are going to see trucks in the next life cycle get 2.5x their current projected ranges to be able to tow reasonably.

And if that feat did

What “most recently redesigned” version are you referring to? GM never redesigned them. Your choice is either having a reputable shop fix the stock heads (valve guides at a minimum) or go aftermarket heads.

Mine came with stock, ported, fixed heads when I bought it, but if I were doing it myself, I would have probably

The valve dropping issue impacts all LS7's, including those in the 5th gen Z28 and even the new LS7 crate engines. GM never redesigned the heads. They tried to blame casting flaws on a few select heads, but the issue happens on heads made well before/after that.

Solution is better valve guides. Mine has bronze guides
