Front end is way Better than the current butt ugly Chevrolet trucks out now. GMC is better looking than Chevrolet. This is far better airstream than Chevrolet is.

You are hitting the nail on the head as the design team came from GM Chevrolet truck group. So I would expect some aspects of the work they did there to show up in this truck. Battery is between the wheels in the frame. Engine bay is a Frunk. over all nice EV Truck that will serve well to end users as it uses in-wheel hub motors for quad motor AWD. Another excellent truck with Tank Mode.

Roberto is so AI Robot!

So we now have the ultimate auto company Hooker Run in Stiletto's using a Latin verb of Stellantis to avoid the red light district jokes. May the Jokes begin on how much one paid for that auto!

For company that is bleeding money, this is to be expected and understood as most of the tooling for the polluting ICE models are paid for, so it makes sense for the business to focus on selling ICE for now. But this is NOT a boondoggle as you call it. They are doing Business 101 common sense to survive during a pandemic that is going to hurt the world for years. Yet you would rather Huff Coal and live in the stone age of ignorance. Enjoy your out of date future.

OUCH, want a C8 Corvette Cheap? Check out this 3,419 mile C8 Corvette. Very cheap to the right owner. Seems the dealer put the corvette up for service on a lift and did not pay attention to the lift points that have changed on the C8 Corvette. As such Boom down it came. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34849/want-a-cheap-c8-corvette-buy-the-one-that-fell-off-a-dealers-lift

That might be so, but the rear tail lights say Camry to me, body lines, etc. I bet they reuse plenty of parts from the Camry in this RWD sedan.

Meh, Rebadge of the Camry to me, nothing special.

Gotta Love tech and the improvements that come with it. Checked and saw that via Frontier, I was paying $105 a month for 500 mbps / 500 mbps. I now just got updated to 1000/1000 or Gigabit speed for $90 per month.

Do you ever wake up in the morning with Numbness or tingly fingers? If so that is carpal tunnel early stages, get a hand brace to sleep in. Did wonders for my left hand, but the right being dominate had to be fixed with surgery.

Yes, decided I would be transparent on my actual name. Grew up in a group of 7 David's, 3 went by Dave, very soft spoken, introverts, but nice guys. The other 4 of us are clearly extroverts and much louder and aggressive. We still get together every so often and hang out talking about the past. Very interesting paths we all have taken. David is me! Like you, figure it was time to just go with my name than anything else Robert. Hope your having a good week. I am, work is going well, as I poke poke poke with my left hand.

Nice one, but I never go by Dave, I am DAVID, Introverts tend to be Dave, Extroverts tend to be David. Ya should know that by now about me!

I have now realized a new found respect for those that loose a hand. Had carpal tunnel surgery last Thursday and have had to learn to work pecking the keyboard with my left hand, eat as a lefty, drive as a lefty, etc. Wow, talk about taking for granted having two hands. Fingers feel amazing as no numbness or tingling.

In the past they used to have SS on every product line and that is what I am relating to, Ford and GM have both used their performance labels on the whole product lines then none, then one, etc. that is all. Totally agree, Mercedes is a mainstream brand as you stated with a few luxury models as they also sell commercial utility to passenger Mercedes vans on the same lot as an A, B, C, E and S series. I have not seen a single Porsche, Rolls or Bentley entry level auto or utility van with those badges.

This individual works at blue cross/blue shield and started living out of the camper in March of this year. Now there are 3 others that also park in the lot who work there, no longer living in an apartment. It is what I have noticed. Will take a pic next time I drive down that parking street by their campus. Never had the RVs before the pandemic and now seems to be more moving around but in this area.
