The Jeep Gladitator gets a gentle refresh for 2024
Jeep is understandably reluctant to mess with success, and the Jeep Gladiator has been one of the brand's greatest success stories in the last decade. So when it came time to give the Gladiator a nip-tuck, Jeep went in with the gentlest of hands. The biggest visual update is a refresh of Jeep's iconic 7-slot grille, windshield-integrated trail-ready stealth antenna, and seven all-new wheel designs. Inside is a redefined interior with more technology and amenities, including available 12-wa
JeepGMC Upsizes the Acadia for 2024; New 2.5L Turbo-4
GMC caused a stir in 2016 when it downsized the Acadia in 2017 from its previous near-Yukon length. That downsize brought the Acadia down to be inline in size with the contemporary Jeep Grand Cherokee. In the years since, the Grand Cherokee has grown and GMC is matching that with the 2024 GMC Acadia. Inches matter in this class and in that the Acadia gains (back) 10.6 inches in length and 3.2 inches in height. That equates to 80% more space behind the third row and 36% more space behind th

What Mark says about wanting to buy a product JUST to see that company succeed JUST to see what they could do next is how I felt about Tesla. I had much much faith in Elon Musk about 8-9 years ago. That faith lasted for about 2-3 years. Today I just wish he go away. I still like Tesla cars. The engineering and manufacturing is just held back by Elon Musk in my opnion. Its too bad. I now have faith in Lucid and in General Motors and possibly Rivian and Ford for advancing American EVs and to be global leaders. Tesla at the hands of Musk is a dead duck. -

The way the Lucid engineers explain the Air and the Sapphire trim. The way the talk about the engineering, it seems that Tesla is the one that is behind in EV tech. The Geese guys ironically talk about how some 1st gen EV vehicles from legacy OEMs engineered compliance cars, they didnt talk about Tesla and how Tesla had a decade advance in engineering thought and tech. They just wax poetic about Lucid. But truth be told that when Lucid was just a seed in the dirt, and some of the engineers were still employed by Tesla, Tesla was not JUST a decade in front of everybody, but 2 decades and had the WHOLE EV market to themselves. Tesla did NOT advance the tech in that timeframe. Ive said that plenty of times. Elon Musk ALLOWED every OEM to catch up to Tesla in LESS than a decade and in some instances such as Lucid, it seems, to have surpassed Tesla and it seems that Tesla is playing catch-up. Maybe not in sales...but THAT scenario will surely change. Tesla better have secrets in their 2nd gen Model S and Model 3/Y to unveil because if Tesla's tech hasnt advanced with those 2nd gens, it will seem like they have stagnated and THAT will spell disaster for their EV manufacturing. They will survive with supplying electricity via recharging everybody else's EVs and perhaps sell EV motors to others, but as far as the S-3-X-Y vehicles they offer today, will not make it to see a 3rd gen... -

They need to do something, I feel like Nissan has basically been dead in the water since Carlos Ghosn screwed them over. Problem is the Ariya seems allergic to sales, despite them advertising for it all the time. Right idea to go all EV in a hurry, but I am skeptical that they actually build EV's that people want. -

@oldshurst442 Yes, I also wonder why on the Olds-Buick decision? Olds was righting the ship with the Aurora, the Intrigue, and even the Alero. It could have been an issue with the name and long-term associations. Marketing research was also scratching their heads in the background. I'll say here that, of their offerings, I only like the Envision, and I'm talking about the last model and not the current one. I was driving down the interstate for a fairly long time and had all of the Buick trio come up alongside me. Enclave? The current one has nicer sheet metal, with the last one being too bulbous. Still, I would not own one. Encore? I've never warmed up to it, even the slightly larger one. Envision? The last-gen drove alongside me and I looked and looked and thought it has the most "reasonable" lines. I am not a big fan of the current one. Then, it goes without saying that some Buick owners are not happy that there are no sedan offerings, let alone coupe offerings. The Chinese appear to be getting some, which wax and wane in how good they look. I don't know where the disgruntled long-term Buick owner is going if they're not buying. For now, Buick needs to stay and it probably will for a while. But I'm not the one doing the penciling.
