The COO of my old employer, who could have driven any car he wanted, drove a Volt for years.

I think the second gen Volt was a neat car but for whatever reason it just didn’t sell.

They are becoming screaming used deals. Im looking into gettting one for a daily. You can find the 2nd gen with fairly low miles for less than 14k all day. 

Oh the Volt. The Volt got a raw deal. The COO of my old employer, who could have driven any car he wanted, drove a Volt for years. Now he drives a launch edition Gladiator and his son drives the Volt to school and work. I still see them from time to time and his son said he has filled the gas tank only twice since his…

Came here to say this. PA is beyond backasswards in many regards to official legal documents. FFS, you can’t buy a car on a Sunday; dealer or private party. You can’t even discuss car sales with a dealer representative on a Sunday.* You need (to pay) a notary to witness the title signing for a private party sale. It’s…

I’m 100% with you. The irony here is that many of these same dealers and states who are getting screwed by needing a “wet signature” and struggling to sell cars in this environment are the exact organizations/states who fought Tesla’s dealer/distribution model tooth and nail. To them I say: Adapt or die. Fighting…

I get it, but the market has spoken.

Wagon good crossover bad we get it.

I really hope this was not a 10/10ths type of lap.  Otherwise its barely 3 seconds faster than a 4 seater family sedan that comes with adaptive cruise control.

Bullshit.

Whichever generation you belong to, I think we can all agree you’re an insufferable douchebag.  Fuck off.

Sounds like that truck is a business tool, which is applicable to like <10% of the trucks sold?

They are inextricably linked. Always have been, always will be.

Whining about mixing car news and politics in 3,2,1....

PHEW!

Joe sixpack is more than happy to finance his ride for 7 years to show his neighbor something new despite the fact his last car was traded when it had 70K on the Odo. And that is why the average American has nearly zero in their retirement accounts.

Third party shops might be more interested. This is pretty much what Icon does now, but instead of producing breathtaking vehicles at breathtaking prices the goal would be to produce overhauled vehicles for less than the cost of new ones.

I’ve seen the same, last couple months. There are a bunch of new scripts wanting to run on the Gawker sites.

This is funny in that the Volt was meant to leapfrog the Prius (it took too long, ended up too expensive, and kinda weird and impractical with no middle seat in the back because of the really strange battery solution) but it’s that I wasn’t talking about the Volt but the Bolt, which is all-too-easy to confuse because…

Simply pulling that lever a few millimeters rearward engages the electric latch, popping the door open.
