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

Asian Rolling coal? ?

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/

He does say that he thinks with some further tweaks he can get it to 900 hp naturally aspirated with no turbo or supercharger. The engine was built to handle a 3L Whipple Supercharger. He wanted to break it in gently before forcing induction down it's throat. Be interesting to see how far he takes the build. This motor is going into his custom Fox Body Mustang. Cadillac NEWS Seems GM is getting back into the limo business as Motor 1 caught pictures at the GM proving grounds of a XT5 Limo being tested. More pics and details at the story. https://www.motor1.com/news/443466/cadillac-xt5-limousine-spy-photos/

Thta is just freakin crazy. Thank you for posting the info, good to know. Renault CEO Luca De Meo a former executive from VW has finish the initial review of the Renault company and has stated the company is in the Red Zone and hard choices have to be made to survive. The company like other giant auto companies of the last 5 years and specifically he points to PSA are focusing on profitable auto's and not just manufacturing to keep production going and producing millions of auto's. As such, he has put on notice the company especially in France that they are going to cut 15,000 jobs by the end of the year, cut auto models by 30% and raise prices by 25 to 30% to insure a profitable company of quality products. As such random strikes have happened across France and elsewhere. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/auto/renault-ceo-luca-de-meo-we-may-need-more-cuts-to-escape-the-red-zone-5818621.html#:~:text=Renault CEO Luca de Meo%3A We may need,cash and restoring profitability was an immediate priority. https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/RENAULT-4688/news/Renault-CEO-We-may-need-more-cuts-to-escape-the-red-zone-31257405/ https://de.reuters.com/article/uk-renault-jobcuts-exclusive-idUKKBN2601J2

ICE Love, a Ford 7.3L V8 with no Turbo or SuperCharger, just some tweaks is hitting 790HP.

I would agree, not the best looking Minivan I have seen. I am honestly surprised that they did not stick to the Buzz concept as that seemed to have garnered rave reviews all over the glob.
