I remember Jay Leno saying that it had to do with how the word “Buick” was originally translated into Mandarin Chinese. It was something like “beautiful springtime flowers”, or something very pleasant. The Buicks of the early 20th century were also excellent cars, so that combination made them the first elite cars in…

Looking at the line-up, Buick is selling a lot of compact cars, as does VW, as chinese buyers are more price-sensitive and practical to buy US-market SUVs, and those with cash primarily go for german cars. However, the Buick roster contains a worrying amount of Opel-based designs, and with the only GM car I see…

Chiang Kai Shek and his wife drive one for many years in pre war China.

Neutral: 36 is the product of two squares and the most interesting age you’ll be for a while, from a purely numerical point of view.

The lower noise levels these are capable of open up a huge amount of potential racing areas.

‘cause its damned expensive.

This is the pedantry I come to Jalopnik for.

No forgiveness for using Arial and Century Gothic on interior switchgear. Why!! Send that designer into the corner.   These fonts are knock-offs of other fonts, and it’s never okay to use them.

That back is what GM wish they could have pulled off with all those years of Corvette/Camaro rectangular lights:

My SO pretty much hates all pickup trucks. We’ve been watching the long way up and she’s like “Those pickup trucks don’t look mean! I don’t mind them if they look like bulbasaur!”

I misunderstood a sentence in the press release. I have updated that sentence with the correct information.

Same here. But there is massive overhead too. There is a FedEx hub next to my office. We had to get more electricity to our place and it was was a two year deal. If they had to do the same, which they would it would be as hard and over/under several rail lines. So take that one little hub with 40 vans and multiply it.…

I have a small business with only two vehicles, one diesel and one gasoline doing about 35,000 miles a year for both. Combining fuel and maintenance costs going electric would save me about $4,500 annually for both vehicles so it’s certainly an attractive proposition even though it would probably take a few years to…

“Playing Creed on Amazon Prime.”

I have long argued that community routes, such as delivery vehicles, sanitation trucks, landscaping companies, local repair outfits, etc — these are all the best use cases for an electric powertrain.

Now that is the sort of friendly, non-aggressive face more vehicles should have.

I wonder if this new Amazon delivery vehicle’s safety systems will help when drivers feel like they are pressured to speed, drive recklessly, and pee in bottles to make their daily delivery quotas?

Deliveries are such great use cases for EVs. This is a vehicle that will never be pressed into extended range duty for a road trip, can be returned to a charging station every night, will drive predictable routes around which range can be managed, and depending on electrical rates, improve operating margins vs. gas.
