The unfortunate reality is that's what the plood in my Avalanche looks like... they matched the existing stuff pretty well. So it's what I'm stuck with.

"Yeah, but, you are aware that there's an invention called television, and on this invention they show shows, right?"

I agree on the terms that it's just too big for the space. 1 inch shorter on the screen and it would be fine. That said, I've been interested in this unit for a while, but they still have a lot of software bugs and it takes over the hardware HVAC controls. I wouldn't mind the HVAC takeover so much at long as the system isn't buggy. But maybe they'll have some software upgrades for them eventually. I *really* want a nicely integrated apple carplay unit.

been having fun configuring a Ford Maverick on ford vehicles.com A base Maverick with copilot and sunroof, front drive hybrid. 23-ish k. You can get a sunroof on the base vehicle! The 2.0 turbo would be awesome though, too. I am not a pickup fan but the Maverick could get me into one and bring me back to Ford. Not just yet, ... wish I could just buy one to have an extra vehicle...... really just for picking up light duty things at the home store. And with the hybrid I would get mpg far exceeding what my cracker box Cobalt ever got. It redefines a 'basic economy car'. I have to tip my hat to Ford. They have done genius things by assigning the Mustang name to a BEV crossover. Brining back the Bronco brought back some buzz for them. and they basically took and launched other new vehicles off the milquetoast new Escape,...the Bronco Sport (otherwise known as the 2021 2000 escape) and now Maverick. They are leveraging that platform with many distinct vehicles. They will sell millions of vehicles off that platform. I think the Maverick will catch on and be a huge hit. Wish Mary and GM had a clue. IS GM doing anything to generate any excitement? GM is a dead company to me. Apart from the Corvette.......and the Suburban / Tahoe..... and pickups.

love all the screens.....even one available on the passenger side.

GM has already been deleting AS/S- the Yukon pic I posted last week had it on the window sticker.

Breaking news, Seems with the chip shortage, Ford is allowing people to delete the Auto Start-Stop feature so they can get their trucks sooner. 2021 Ford F-150 Can Be Built Without Start-Stop Under New Plan (fordauthority.com) F-150 Buyers Can Remove Start-Stop To Get Trucks Sooner - CarsDirect New Ford F-150s to be offered without start-stop feature to conserve chips - Page 1 - AR15.COM Seems trucks with reduced electronic tech is becoming a more common feature now that the plan is to allow the option to be removed. GM is also removing the Auto Start-Stop for the rest of the calendar year from their trucks and SUVs/CUVs to continue production as it helps reduce chip use and continues to get out built auto's.

I’d read about push button start from olden days, and manual chokes and other such features, but never drove anything with such features. IIRC, first modern car with a push button start I drove was a rental 2011 Cadillac STS. Up until then, everything I’d driven had a key. I remember driving cars that had two keys—one for the ignition and one for doors and rear. Ford was still doing that in the late 80s.

Start expensive then move it all the way down the line. Standard on just about every innovation (especially in cars) out there. SuperCruise is great though.

:shrug: Push-button start goes back to the dawn of automotive time. Millennials think it's 'high tech'. ? I kinda like keys only because you can control it more precisely. Sometimes you need to 'bump it'.

Have to say the Jeep Wagoner is looking Awesome! https://www.jeep.com/wagoneer.html

Local Chevy dealer has almost no inventory. One brand new '21 Silverado W/T; regular cab / long bed, 4WD but stamped steel 17" rims, refrigerator white. Sticker was $33K, but has a 'market adjustment' addition of another $3K.
