    Rumorpile: Buick Working On An All-Electric Crossover Based On Bolt EV

      Buick could be getting a new EV using the bones from the Chevrolet Bolt

    General Motors CEO Mary Barra said something interesting about the Chevrolet Bolt EV earlier this year.

    “…the Bolt is our platform that we’re going to continue on and have a huge range of vehicles.”

    Now, a new report from InsideEVs has possible details on one of these new models. According to a source that attended a focus group in California, the vehicle in question is a new Buick crossover that is said to look like a next-generation Encore. The model will use the Bolt's structure and powertrain, but come with a different design and features such as a floating roof and a push-button drive selector. 

    The Buick crossover will be about the same size as the Bolt, but offer slightly more rear legroom. It will also be slightly slower than the Bolt - a 0.4-second difference in 0-60 mph time.Bolt, but offer slightly more rear legroom. 

    No timeframe was given as to when we might see this new Buick EV crossover.

    This is a good idea and if it is larger than the Bolt, say 173 inches long it will be in the middle of the Encore and Envision in size.  Pricing I imagine would mirror the Enclave.

    Might be a really nice vehicle, actually.

    • This is so scary as this person is spot on, many of us are now considered Terrorists by this administration. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPRaDC0jiCR/?igsh=MXBtbTNhdHFqY3BueA==
    • I do not think that this current administration will respect such a thing to happen.  To let a blue wave in the house exist.  I hope I am wrong.  I sadly agree to this... That is why I compassionately keep on posting political shyte.  Not just for our little community in here that posts stuff, but for the silent lurkers that read.  Another venue to read that is not misinformation.  Another venue to get the courage to fight for your country.  
    • The F35 is falsely called a 5th gen fighter.  It is suppose to be a 5th gen fighter. And it will be soon enough.  But there are many 5th gen features missing from it.  Not the stealth stuff but some radar technology on it  that was mentioned in the video is missing.  Even for the US Air Force.  Lots of engineering delays and mishaps...    Making the F35 slightly better than 4.5 but not quite 5th gen.  The Rafale is a 4.5 gen fighter from France.  Is capabilities mirror those of an F-16.  The Viper version.  But better.  The Rafale is a newer fighter and has quite the radar capabilities but not stealth tech.  Making it a 4.5 gen.   The USAF has phased out the F16 for its fleet, but there are many nations that continue buying it and flying it.  But those same nations also have bought the Rafale and use the F16 Viper and Rafale tandemly.  Truth be told, the F16 Viper version in certain combat situations is better than the F35.  Its in the communications and fighting alongside in tandem with other military weapons where the F35 shines and the other 4.5 gen fighters lack.  The Eurofighter is a 4.5 gen fighter.  Very capable.  In some cases batter than the Rafale and F16 Viper and in some cases on par.   The SAAB J39 is a 4rth gen fighter.  But the way the video explains how the F35 will be using drones to do combat, this is a fairly new way of doing air warfare and the Ukraine war accelerated the tactics.  But the Swedes that engineered the SAAB J39 have had that type of warfare in mind and the J39 is equipped radar and communications wise to do battle this very way already.  Yeah...like the F35 is supposed to do. To do battle in tandem with other military weapons on the ground, in the air or at sea.  In tandem.   So the J39 has that capability...   Seeing that all nations in Europe have been threatened by Trump in one way or other, all 3 fighters could be used jointly to do a better job than what an F35 could be used for.   And when the other nations, including Canada, will refuse to buy the F35, lots of billions of dollars lost. Not counting the billions of dollars of developmental monies already poured into the f35 program.  But those monies have been deduced from the books already I suppose.  I could get slapped with another face palm emogi or a negative one, the shytes about to get real for you guys... Wake the phoque up!!!     
    • A blue wave in the House is nearly certain and will go a long way to halting the current wave of shenanigans. The midterms are 13 months away and given how many decades have passed since Jan 20, 2025, I'm not convinced we'll even make it.  A blue senate is unlikely. There aren't enough flippable red seats to take.  Maybe a longshot like Andy Bashir taking out McConnell.... but I think he's gonna run for Prez.
    • Yes, very sunny, very dry.  And winter is either a dusting of snow or 2+ feet.  Then more sun.
