It’s available as a battery-only EV and a series hybrid.

Government push for EVs will expose the lack of effort in maintaining the energy grid.

It isn’t a full relocation, just the top guys and I believe the design team. Engineering and such is still in Dearborn, iirc. They did that to distance themselves from the GM umbrella and put the designers in one of the hearts of fashion and rich people so they can design the cars to suit that clientele. It should…

“$105 million or 10% of recorded profits, whichever is higher”?

You forget that the Cherokee and Renegade say “JEEP” on the front. I can’t turn my head without seeing a KL and the Renegade is already approaching the same numbers where I live.

I’ve seen 3, and my city isn’t all that big.

Not exactly comparable. Our standards are stricter in some regards, so a lot of diesel engines you have wouldn’t pass our tests. Diesel here is also something of a stopgap measure to meet CAFE requirements for average fuel economy until more alternate fuels/electric cars come out. There won’t be as huge a number of…

Not one I can do myself, but I really should get my driver’s side rocker repaired. A sizable dent there has been rusting.

I’m the opposite, I’d daily drive the ELR since it’s going to attract the least attention, and then drive the other cars on days I don’t mind/want the attention.

For the Twizy, no need to wait for Nissan, Renault is investigating that themselves.

3rd gear: it’s the hatch! People nowadays buy more stuff that’s bulkier more often than they used to, and they want to be able to carry it home right now, not wait for delivery. A new flat screen TV won’t fit in a sedan easily, a gas grill won’t fit in a sedan easily, half of IKEA’s products won’t fit in a sedan…

This is the F-150 for the rest-of-world. As far as I know, the F-150 and Ranger overlap markets only in Mexico, the Carribean, select South American countries, the Middle East, and Nigeria. For Europe, the rest of South America, nearly the whole of Africa, and Asia, the Ranger is Ford’s biggest truck. And even in…

Disagree, only the Toyota is a pig, everything else looks lovely.

Yes and no. Like all new complex technology, it has teething issues, some of which have proven fatal. But with increased use comes understanding, and no doubt its record will improve.

In dimensions, it’s more similar to a FIAT 500L than the popular small crossovers. There’s also image to consider: Buick can’t be more harmed by the existence of the Encore, but BMW wants to paint itself as an upscale brand more focused towards performance. A practical MPV would be the odd duckling of their lineup.

It was being investigated, but BMW decided not to.

Further clarification: sales tax is 7% for vehicles registered in Allegheny County and 8% for those registered in Philadelphia County. Truck registration is also more than $36/yr (it varies based on truck class, if I remember).

Poor analogy.

This is an unpassed bill amendment, Damon is talking about the Senate bill this amendment is aimed at that has already passed. If this amendment passes then it’s peachy, but it hasn’t.

UConnect is hands-down the best mass market infotainment system I've ever used. I don't get the hate.
