Most gas stations around here have canopies, I can honestly say I've never had a gas tan.

Saw that in the build/price online- people were asking for that loudly & Chevy did it. I wish the 6.2 ran on regular tho.

EXACTLY! But dont kid yourself. If electric power will be the fuel of the future, Big Evil Oil will just be replaced by Big Evil Darth Sidious Electric... Electric power companies will now control our transportation needs. They WILL increase the prices... Dont mind me...Im ranting again. Im bored immensely...

Happy New Year @USA-1!!! But not only to you... But EVERYBODY!!!

Happy New Year man!

Why are we basing fuel costs with how big a gasoline tank is? A 26 gallon fuel tank wont make your truck spend more money on gasoline than a 24 gallon one. If it takes you 100 bucks per week for fuel (or 400 bucks per month) than it costs you 100 bucks per week for fuel (or 400 bucks per month) no matter how big your gas tank is... Having a smaller gasoline tank just makes you spend less per fill-up, but makes you visit the gas station more often. In the long run, having a smaller gas tank may cost you more gas as you may spend more fuel re-fueling IF your gas station that you go to more often than not is OUT of your way traveling unnecessarily if you had a bigger gas tan... (But then again...having a bigger gas tank may make you spend more fuel as additional weight also burns more fuel...) (But... ) And if it aint out of your way, you spend MORE time there as you stop more often...and that is just a perfect waste of time... plus if you are the type of person to always buy some sort of stupid trinket or lottery ticket or junk food at the gas station, then you are spending more money NEEDLESSLY... Just a rant...Im bored...

Let's all not forget the greedy UAW strike for 40 days didn't help the General in sales, only helped it's crosstown rival FoMoCo and FCA-PSA with their contract negotiations. I prefer the front-end and taillights of the new Sierra in AT4 guise with the power of the 6.2L over the Silverado, but I've driven a comparable 2019 6.2L 10 spd Silverado LTZ at my current Chevy dealer and it's a pretty impressive all around ride minus some needed interior trim work, and late 2020's should be a whole new ballgame with the interior. GM seems woke and are updating the interior trim for 2021 MY higher end models which will probably be out in 6 or 7 months and the 6.2L/10 spd. is now offered in 2020 LT and LT Trailboss models which will all help with sales. All new 2021 Full-size SUV's from all 3 GM brands using the new chassis will be out in probably the same time and definitely by September to hold on as the sales leader by a large margin. It's interesting because I sat in a Ram Laramie Longhorn at the Phoenix IAS and didn't see anything to get excited about, I thought everything looked and felt kinda cheap, the faux woodgrain and faux leather on dash and center console with plastic wax feeling stitching were in your face and seemed overdone, it didn't look all that good in person so I don't see what all the hype is about. The huge touchscreen was too much, fingerprints and dust would drive me nuts too as my meticulous ways would be in overdrive haha. I do think GM needs a slightly larger touchscreen with the new interior layout, but nothing Tesla like or extreme. I also have to say WTH is with the huge bell housing bulge on the passenger side footwell of the Ram?! You only have literally 6 or 8 inches of foot room all to the right. ?

Carlos Ghosn is on his way back to save Nissan, Mitsubishi and Renault, he can run all 3 out of a bunker in Lebanon. Turn around expected!

Perhaps you want something more recent then?

usually in my neck, premium is +40 over regular at most typical stations but i get most of my fillups now at costco. Premium at Costco most days is about 20 cents higher than regular at typical stations. You can argue the true cost of a costco membership, but if you are getting one already due to the great meat, big ass cheesecake and pumpkin pie, and the GM costco rebate potential, then it can help save on premium.

Or... A gas tan... a tan that you get by a burning Italian sports car?

This is your future on EV... a sea of sameness. Doldrums. Lifelessness. And misery.

Good point once again!! +1!!

I use this for state by state average gas prices: https://gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/ Washington State averages $3.14 per regular gallon of Gas. Washington State averages $3.52 per Premium Gallon of Gas. So a 28 gallon tank is $87.92 to fill up on regular or $98.56 on Premium, difference of $10.64 If you can afford to drive the truck with the 6.2L / 10sp transmission, I do not see roughly $10 bucks being a breaking point. After all I average between $400 to $500 a month in my SS alone for Gas and that does require Premium. The Escalade is about $150 to $200 a month as it is not a daily driver.

Let me make it clearer since you didn't comprehend. GM "is woke" in the fact that they are listening to their customers more which is why they are making the quick and early changes to their full-size truck lineup and adding to or updating their SUV/CUV lineup as well. In the past you had to practically beat your head against the front glass at the Ren Cen. to get their attention. Ford and Chrysler are in the same boat. Just like Balth also explained above, "people were asking for that loudly & Chevy did it." It's a good thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-Hydramatic_180 Interesting detail is in most markets, it was used in small RWD 4 cyl models (like the Chevette or Fiat 124), but Holden put it in larger 6-cyl (and maybe V8) models.. Looks like they are still in use, in those funky little Grumman postal trucks that I see skittering around..

Both look turrible.

Try and deny it.

Sucky Chevrolet Truck / SUV styling does not help as they drop in sales behind Ram and the leader Ford.

For all of 2019 Cadillac had a total sales of 156,246 auto sales. Have not had a chance to look at any other luxury line than the one report above for the top 3 luxury lines in the US. Seems Cadillac is half of what the two Germans sell and almost that for the single Japanese line. Cadillac really needs to buckle down and focus on the Luxury segment and add some damn good marketing.

^ 156,246.

I guess my initial point was, porsche styling is stuck in 'P'.

My buddy just pulled the running I-6 out of his '77 Malibu coupe last week (to replace it with a 454). Not sure of the miles on it, but it was running fine / car is in good shape. The '75 I knew only in '84-85; never saw the guy after that. At 10 years old, it was in excellent shape and ran the highway fine. It had no power to speak of, but once it got up to 80 MPH, it held it fine. I had a Super Six (Slant Six) Plymouth, a '78, and that was the same way. Sold it at about 95K miles because I just HAD to get into a 14 yer OLDER car instead (You know me!). Not powerful, but it got the job done. I heard that car was still going at least 5 years after that (at which point it was about 18 yrs old), but the MoPar Slant Six was the SBC of sixes- runs forever.

[aaaaaaaaaaaand; we're off on another conversational irrelevancy.]

Oh, to be an Infiniti dealer right now...terrifying. It's not an easy market, so for any brand, getting your act together and focused is vital. When you're not doing what you should, the numbers only more clearly show it...

Haha... no way

Exactly like all of today's ICE cars. Thank you for pointing that out.

I think they both merely look ‘current’.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Then that constant need to run to a gas station and top off especially if bad weather is coming makes going EV just that much better where you just plug in at night at your home and know you have a full tank of Acceleration fuel in the morning. Surprised no one that has emoji making skills has not taken this picture of a Rivian and made that green indicator line move from left to right in a empty to full indication.
