And don’t forget the therapeutic benefit of giving your arms and wrists a good shaking as you drive.

And as always, the problem is range and cost.

....

Do Italians or Europeans somehow have different expectations from what an automatic transmission should do? I simply can't fathom that after so many decades of development and finally having every majory automaker offer at least a completely normal and reliable auto that we still end up with garbage like this sold to…

Let me tell you something. I’ve worked for two different dealerships, and I’ve worked in sales operations at a corporate level for a major automaker. If I found out that a dealer wasn’t allowing test drives on a car that cost the same as a base 3 Series, I would be absolutely livid.

Well, at least we know who is "up next" at Carolina....

My boss has a Silverado and he has complained about the very same thing. I rented a GMC for the weekend and I didn't notice it at all, when I put my foot down, the power was there. Not sure why it would be different from GMC to Chevy but... maybe you should test drive one and see if there is a difference.

Problem is it is already cooked....heyooo!

I sent the story to our lawyer friend Steve Lehto. Michigan is his home turf.
