Not kidding, I like the look and ride height. Hate cars that are cigarettes' pack high or about there. One should not have to sit down on the ground getting into a car unless it is a performance sports car like a corvette. This 2 door sedan, looks good to me as is.

Last Friday, Kenworth announced the start of their new EV truck line with two box trucks for inner city delivery with a Class 6 and Class 7 truck. K270E and K370E models plenty more pictures for those interested in the power train or battery pack on the company press release. These trucks are in production with the first ones set to be delivered by December. The trucks come in the following options list: 24 or 30 foot lengths. 100 or 200 mile battery packs 355 or 469 HP electric motors Enough Torque to start on a 20% grade Enough power to maintain 40 mph on a 6% grade fully loaded Regenerative braking DC fast charging https://www.kenworth.com/news/news-releases/2020/september/electric-trucks-available/

Hummer by GMC Reveal set for Oct 20th. Reservation will be accepted starting that day also. We see the NEW Infotainment screen and dedicated CRAB MODE option. clearly APPLE and ANDROID play are supported. I believe this will be bigger seller for GM than the Cadillac will be. Excited to see the Truck, I also hope they show off the SUV. Tesla is going to be Late LATE LATE to the truck party as usual.

Call it the STUPID THINKING THAT DOHC are better engines, higher HP, weak ass torque and far more electronics that screw up an engine that should just stay pushrod solid basics.

@Drew Dowdell So will a New Hummer by GMC be created under GMC or just part of GM?

I like the way it looks, my biggest beef is trucks and cars that sag in the ass. Just looks terrible besides being dangerous when they actually try to tow. I think that Car looks great.

Woke to falling ash and terrible visibility

My coworker who lives in Seattle and has a view of the water from his office sent me the pic he took a month ago and today. Before wildfires Today with the smoke from Oregon and California moving in.

@ccap41 According Rivian, Jan 2021 is when existing pre-order customers will get access to customize their R1T for building and delivery. 60 to 90 days after that, the sales will open up to everyone who is not a pre-order customer. Mitsubishi built millions of auto's on that assembly line. Rivian has stated that they will start off slow to insure quality over quantity and speed things up as they get everyone trained.

Being one who is born and raised in Washington State and having lived through the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption and ash covering us for the next couple of weeks, I see Seattle this weekend being in the same mess of ash from the Forest Fires.

Here is this morning at Business Costco with all the smoke from the Oregon and California Wild Fires.

Right now at my house in Mountlake Terrace, 84 and 46% humidity. It's Killing me Smalls! ?

33C or 90 plus in Seattle today. so freaking hot.

Totally agree, our Dell office there that I had been to many times has a very solid multiple redundancies backup generators due to the poor power grid. Gonna be interesting to see how they address this over the next 10 years. Course with India looking to surpass the US in deaths and infections from Covid-19, part of the pressure could be due to population reduction which is sad in it's own right. Wish they would focus on getting their act together. Course I would say that about many countries including our own for better infrastructure.

Yet Drew gives a reviewers input, yet to see that from you.

WOW, just a 100" wheelbase on the trax, that means there is some serious overhang front and rear on that auto.

The closest I get to that wheel base is PPing my Escalade ESV and then the wheelbase is only 134.1". I can totally imagine just how much more challenging an extra 10" of wheelbase would be to park.

Seattle down town bookings are off 60%, so 60% more space for manual parking. Yet that is the easiest parking for you, the owner of SUV/CUV where you can just put the front wheel up on the curb and gently let it back off once you pull in tight. Always close to the curb. My daughter who is terrible at parallel parking , I showed her to how do that with her Durango, Boom issue solved and she was always close and tight. Yea a few tire scrapes, but heck easy P parking.

GM has released their logo which also implies Crab Mode on the Hummer EV by GMC. https://www.motor1.com/news/443456/gmc-hummer-ev-crab-mode-teased/
