GM was making on average $6000 per vehicle under the Chevy nameplate across its whole lineup. Trucks are at the high end of that with it being nearly double and cars like the Spark are on the low end at a bit over half. That is from the dealer invoice’d price before their cut. Toss out the franchise fees and other

Oh look, a solution to global warming.

Also CAFE laws. The US government inventivized carmakers to push people into CUVs.

I really fucking hate crossovers. I mean look at the US lineup for wagons:

Available in the US in 25 years. Woot!!!!

I can't wait until these are in their factory parking lot instead of the diesel gate cars

Good, I like that design better, and I think the phone will be tougher.

SoCo tells BoJo his plan is a NoGo.

Trump sucks, but most of Detroit’s management isn’t much better. Alan Mulally was the only decent CEO a major US car company ever had

Pretty sure that’s just a Transit that crashed into the back of a Honda e.

Don’t you love contracts that give you absolutely no rights or protection while locking you in for 12 months? Absolute shithead lawyers making sure their clients hold all the aces yet again.

Dodge is trying to figure out how to put that in a Challenger. Stretch that platform another 50 years.

So, basically, non-Tesla carmakers have standards?

I will need to see proof that it’s as dangerous as alcohol before I’m on board with treating it like alcohol. We don’t ban people from smoking cigarettes while driving.

It has not been normal for a while.

Americans need to stop complaining about the price. In a few months, after Brexit, the pound will be basically worthless and you’ll be able to pick one up for about $13.67.

This was my “obtainable dream car” before I learned the clutch replacement costs about a 1/4th of the used purchase price. Probably something you’d want to see the last owner took car of.

I love my internal combustion as much as the rest of us, but I’m OK with the move to EV...SO LONG AS I CAN STILL DRIVE THE THING! You can take the steering wheel from my cold dead hands m’fers!!
