Coupe CUVs are still the worst auto trend in the last 50 years. Period. Get rid of them NOW.

Not my spot, but wow, what a sweetheart! 1979 AMC Pacer wagon!

OEMs need to massively pull back from naming every teeny different vehicle with a different name. Especially as the industry continues to congeal into ‘every 4x4 must have an ‘X’ in the name’ nonsense.

Concept was shown

w00t! I got a Camaro convertible for my rental car here in Texas.

If that's the case, the Aztek was a crossover coupe.

Fastest growing segment in number of models offered, but not necessarily in sales.

Two words for SUV coupes. “f@#king worthless”.

I always find the Costco Sample Diners supremely annoying. Most of them leave their carts in the middle of the row as they get 5 samples to feed themselves & their kids, then go station to station being just as oblivious.

It makes more sense than a 4-cylinder being badged 45 while a 6-cylinder is badged 43.

Or the Tesla semi. This in theory would refuel faster than a battery powered truck.

again... people should only be using superchargers when they have less range than it will take them to get home. It is an entirely wrong mindset to unplug your car from your house, go to Mejier or whatever, plug in there, and go shopping. Even a Leaf with 110 mile range can handle all of the shopping in a single day without having to recharge. It gets worse if they are paying to recharge (Like most of those Model-3s probably are), it costs more to charge up at a public station than it does to charge up at home. The only way I can see having to do this is if you live in an apartment complex and not have access to a charger at home. A friend of mine with a Volt does that, but he has a charger at work, so he charges up until its time for lunch and then goes out and moves his car. With the ~7 mile commute he has, he almost never uses gasoline in the Volt.

Sales growth is about percentage increases, not numbers. I don't know if they are the fastest growing or not without looking att the year over year numbers...

How can you say this is the fastest growing segment when they do not sell that many compared to regular real SUV/CUV?

I think they ugly, not practical (which croosovers supposed to be) and just stupid IMO. However, my wife when she saw one that it looks "cool". I seriously considered divorce at that point... However, I guess they do appeal to some people.

Going through Dunkin Donuts this morning I had a yellow Challenger Hellcat Redeye behind me..nice rumble. Guy w/ white hair and beard, was blasting ZZTop..

I forgot this one. Yesterday, in my local Starbucks's parking lot, I saw a new or fairly new Dodge Charger with temporary plates parked there, with the driver on his phone. It was the lime green, like you'd have in your Hot Wheels collection when you were a kid. On a Charger, this color works. The badge on the side said "392" and it was idling, but displayed no weird cam/lifter noise. It was fairly hushed. His windows were heavily tinted. So I pointed it at his sled and gave him the "okay" sign with my hand. He nodded in appreciation. Like the one on the left:

When I 'gas up', it takes maybe 5 mins. If I were to leave my vehicle, walking into the store, pick out a snack, pay & walk back, my vehicle is likely refueled & waiting. That means others may well be waiting on me to get my chimmi-chunga back to the vehicle and out of their way. When one 'watts up', the owner wanders off and has a sit-down meal because they have 20-30-40 mins to waste. There's TIME to shop because there's a long period of inactive boredom to relieve. The 'refueling' time 'encourages' you to pay even more money. Yes; you are not required to. You can sit in your car, stare at your phone. Or nap if you want/are sleepy. Or you can walk laps of the parking lot. All idle things... because you are WAITING. Or you can open your wallet. It wouldn't be 'any different' if an EV charged in 5 mins.

• The Tesla station by me is at a Panera, but the only other anything nearby is Costco & Target... but they're a hike apart. You're not going to get a shopping cart of bulks and wheel it all the way over to your cabled car. • I don't like that refueling your vehicle 'strongly encourages' you to engage in commerce to avoid boredom. • Wonder how the potential decade-long rolling blackouts in CA will affect EV sales there, Guess they can always install diesel generators at every station to power the 'chargers. ?

“Not a holder on”? Is that why they hung on to that V12 for so long (something you were singing praises over not too long ago)?

Good. More SUVs. We needed more.

Closed on the sale of my last rental property today. I'm officially no longer a landlord after 15 years of doing it. ? I'll get back in the business some day... but I need a rest and reset for now. The nice fat check in my bank account sure helps the cause.

Interesting. As long as they don't stick that sluggish Inline 5 in it.... Man, was our H3 slow. I ended up giving it to my wife.

Hummer as an EV brand is a nice rebrand for a brand that trolled and angered environmentalists for almost 15 years. Will GM be smart enough to make Electra the car/CUV EV brand?!
