    I think for the most part manual transmissions will be gone by 2030 if not earlier.

    They can join the cheap ass priced S-Class cars which seem to sit and only move with huge incentives or into fleet sales.

    I know for a fact that for my family, it WILL NOT be a sedan.

    Some hard painful times ahead for some of these auto companies.

    Should help to bring down the costs as they protect the profits with bringing out the EV Trucks and SUVs.

    China only, so that to me is not global, GM seems to be repeating mistakes they made here in the US. Sad, very sad!

    Just another reason to NOT buy BMW. Behind in so many ways compared to the rest of the industry.

    RIP CT6, killed by GM's board room bean counters before your time really was up and not able to show what you could bring to the world globally. RIP CT6 This truly keeps me in SUVs as the 4 & 5 are just too small. This approach at GM is what could make my next auto purchase a non-gm product.

    I would love a two door Escalade at my point in life, no need for 4 doors as I do not carry anyone other than the wife pretty much now. Something like this would do: But smaller rims as I hate these runflat rims/tires that ride like shit.

    Seems the T-Roc from VW has entered production finally. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/12/04/volkswagen-t-roc-cabriolet-production/ BMW seems to not get many to pay for Apple auto play on a recurring bases, as such all 2019 and 2020 models moving forward will now have it as normal free feature. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/12/04/bmw-free-apple-carplay/

    Seems that Carlos Tavares who has turned around PSA from money loosing to money making might be the right guy to turn around Alfa to be a money maker than a money sucker. Per the following story, it seems Alfa sales have fallen 42% in Europe, 27% down in US and FCA head Mike Manley who succeeded Marchionne realized that Marchionne's 3rd and final attempt to grow and revitalize Alfa was not going to happen. At this point, Alfa will have 2 EVs by 2022 as 2023 models to bring Alfa to 4 models not the 7 that Marchionne had stated. Even then, it might not be enough to save Alfa. https://www.autonews.com/blogs/alfa-romeo-could-be-tavares-toughest-turnaround Tavares is a true Car Guy who races on weekends and has stated that some plateforms might be too expensive to continue, as such he is not afraid to make the hard decisions once reviews of all product lines are done. At this time, no product line will be discontinued at this time during the merge. Full reviews of all product lines will be done, assessed on value and profits before any changes will happen. Travares has said that Alfa has failed to challange the luxury brands of Germany and will have to be assessed on where it really belongs.

    Seems GM is cutting 800 jobs to retool for the pickup and van EVs at the detroit plant. https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/gm-cutting-800-jobs-retool-detroit-plant-evs Per the story, QUOTE: As part of a $3 billion investment, GM plans to start building an electric pickup and van at Detroit-Hamtramck. They would be followed by electric versions of the GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade, according to LMC Automotive, a closely watched provider of industry sales and production forecasts. Automotive News reported last month that a lengthy layoff starting in early 2020 would be needed to make the conversion from gasoline-powered sedans to battery-electric trucks. The plant will stop making the Cadillac CT6 in January and the Chevrolet Impala in February. GM gave formal notice of the layoffs in a state-mandated filing Tuesday. Layoffs will begin Feb. 28 for most of the 800 hourly, 50 subsystem and 60 salaried workers affected. Fewer than 40 hourly workers will stay at the plant until March or April.

    Wish I could find a solid 86-87 Monte Carlo Areo. Those were lovely cars, but usually trashed beyond salvage.

    I really like the looks both exterior and interior. Should do well for competition. One does have to wonder how the guy checking out the inside of the GV80 does not see the guy behind the auto taking pictures. I do have to wonder how they do not keep control on phones in the work place especially with a new product launch.

    Might as well make it a 1.3 Triple Turbo motor, that way each cylinder does not feel neglected. Triple the turbo lag.
  17. G. David Felt
    ? Sad, but there is always hope. ? Maybe a Grand National CUV? ?‍♂️
  18. G. David Felt
    Does the back open up wide to allow large stuff to be put in with the rear seats down?
  19. G. David Felt
    Good come back from months of loosing sales, but the car business is dying faster than you can say Holy Batman!
  20. G. David Felt
    I bet you could still get a decent buzz on those lips now! Imagine putting in a modern power train package from GM Performance crate systems. That would makes these cars fly!
  21. G. David Felt
    Commuter car supreme now!
  22. G. David Felt
    Hopefully my Trailblazer SS will become collectible.
  23. G. David Felt
    Such sad stats for this version of a Trailblazer compared to the last version. This is NOT your SS of yore that is for sure.
  24. G. David Felt
    Awesome 3 Amigo's! @Drew Dowdell Is that a Trumpet I see in the background? If so, what brand and who plays? Grew up playing trumpet and piano focused on Jazz all the way till college. Then my daughter took the trumpet and piano over.

    Really you have solid hard facts to back this up before the company actually releases their sales numbers?
