Idiot47 wanted Washington State to just open up all land and harvest and even the lumber industry here called him a moron for not properly managing the land and the trees as to when they can be properly harvested, replanted, etc. He is so stupid that he is clueless about how one manages things long term. Forest Industry Supply Chain – Washington Forest Protection Association Washington’s forest products industry and timber harvest, 2020 | US Forest Service Research and Development The $36 billion dollar wood industry here generates $5.5 billion in wages and still due to demand it can never produce enough as to why we also buy wood from Canada. Idiot47 is clueless about how the global economy works and can only look at how he can get money, mostly illegal. Idiot47 hates America and does not support it, he already sold his Tesla that I honestly do not think he ever really bought, I suspect Moron Musk gave it to him. He think Royals Royce and Bentley are the best auto's in the world. Stupid is as Stupid does.

Destruction of the U.S. by Idiot47 is now truly affecting the auto industry as Kia has released their latest Press Release and now Canada but not the U.S. will get the Kia EV5 SUV and production will be in Korea as due to the Morons in Georgia, Kia / Hyundai / Genesis are quietly stopping production of all new EV models.

Very interesting the U.S. Governments investment in Canadian mineral companies. Trump's Takeover Of Canadian Rare Earths Miners Raises Major Concerns Canadian companies seem happy to have the U.S. government buy up their stock; seems the auto industry will have access to North American rare earth minerals replacing China 100%. I can so see this happening as pissing off Canadians could easily make the government say NO to U.S. ownership of these companies. The Trump administration is investing in Canadian critical mineral companies. But Ottawa can stop it | CBC News

So guess the Yankee Ass is Kicking the Frenchie and British ass today on home turf! Mariners vs. Blue Jays score, takeaways: Seattle takes commanding 2-0 ALCS lead behind Game 2 power surge - CBS Sports A Few take aways in that story on the Mariners over the Jays. 4 Takeaways from the Mariners' ALCS Game 2 Win Over the Blue Jays

Let just have this TV Show in Real Time and see who wins!

That reminds me of the 80's and 90's GM V8 motors, sucky for HP but Low end torque to move the autos along smoothly.

Auto folks need to realize that not everyone wants an auto and would rather live in the city and use bike paths to get around and let their kids play. To achieve that, Cities are going to have to invest in safe private bike / pedestrian roads. IMHO, the day of Bikes using the same road as autos has long been over.

I can see GM and Ford being a subsidiary of an Asian Auto Company one day! 😥

@A Horse With No Name Just think of a Modern 442 but in EV format. The Oldsmobile 442 stands for a combination of features that define its performance: 4: Represents the four-barrel carburetor. 4: Stands for the four-speed manual transmission. 2: Indicates the dual exhaust system. 442 Performance EV 4: 4,000 HP 4: 4 motors, 1,000hp each 2: 2 door Luxury Performance Kinda how I can see this from Genesis: Sexy as hell and needs to be produced as this would excite people to own a car!!! imho

You know the Blue states of which I live in one is very Anti-Idiot47! There is only so much that can be done till enough of the Red State Idiots wake up to how much the moron has taken from them. Hopefully sooner rather than later Sadly, the Supreme court just like all positions should never be for Life. Yet that will never happen sadly due to power hungry idiots that feel than can benefit from keeping the same idiot in the position for life. Honestly, voting for a party is Stupid no matter the country as it should be voting for the person with the best skill set to represent the people. Sadly, ignorant people make ignorant votes.

Very cool about what GM has achieved with American built Magnets! GM’s Rare-Earth Gamble Pays Off as China Tightens Magnet Exports

FAILURE, better to buy Korean EV as the testing in Europe does not show that all Chinese are making good EVs yet. I think Korea is a better choice for you.

When were these produced? Till now I was not aware that they had an 8 cylinder station wagon.

Please keep in mind that one could consider your posts to be Trolling too! Both of you are playing to the emotions of each other and while I get you are trying to be informative as to how one out of this country is seeing it by an Idiot administration that thinks they can just take what ever they want and another that is laughing at poking the up north bear and thinks it is funny till it truly bites them in the butt. At this point, the USA is screwed till enough Americans force the Moronic politicians to represent them, the 99% of America rather than the 1% of America and hold that 1% accountable to the laws and constitution. We can start by sending back home the illegal American Musk, then also kick out all the illegal Americans, aka ex-wife and current wife along with their kids to where they came from. Then prosecute Idiot47 for the laws and constitution he has broken. Yet none of it will happen due to the Corrupt Supreme court. In other news, Ford and GM will continue to shrink while preaching good news to cover up the fact that their days as Global Auto Companies are coming to a close. Stellantis will continue to try and sell 6 figure Garbage autos made of total plastic and fail. China is the new world Superpower of Economic might and the Boomers will go to their grave thinking now is the Golden Age and those that are younger will end up with crap due to the destruction of everything by the boomers / 1% class. Ran an errand to the pharmacy for my wife and came across a new Shelby Mustang that I am pretty sure has an illegal exhaust due to how loud it was. Gave me no desire to ever want to own one as it barely moved while making ear bothersome noise. @oldshurst442 Sucks for you, seems the Mariners in the Toronto backyard beat them. Miller, Mariners silence Blue Jays' bats to win Game 1 of ALCS OUCH - Miller, Mariners silence Blue Jays' bats to win Game 1 of ALCS

Now that we have covered the hourly Politics of North Versus South, lets return to our regularly scheduled discussion of this EV. It will compete against BYD, I think for a commuter auto, this is good and should do good, sadly, GM and Ford days of selling in Canada and Mexico are over. Their market will shrink and even with Ford in Europe, their sales have tanked due to Idiot47 and as such, I do not see much growth for Ford or Cadillac in Europe. There are superior products from Korea to choose over garbage Tesla, Ford, or GM. Before anyone says but you were a GM fan. Yes, I used to own all GM products for 34 years, but not any longer as I move to better products from other companies that do not dictate what I can and cannot do with my auto. Ford might have AA/CP but they are 400V tech and are years away from updating them. GM is also 400V tech for the most part and even on their full-size trucks and SUVs are not really a true 800V system, but then GM chooses what you can and cannot do with your auto including what you can and cannot buy from the GM controlled Google Store. As such, American Auto industry has died as they have given up choice.

Interesting fact is that the Red States are the fattest states around with the worse health, worse healthcare and laziest people doing minimal effort for a paycheck. Compared to the Blue states which are funding the country and get very little back. Maybe it is time for the United Wealthy States of America and let the Red States become the United States of Poverty, ill health, narcissistic idiots! Weird but quality of products built in Red States leaves much to be desired.

Chicago restaurants are refusing to feed the ICE / Guard which is good, force them to leave. I suspect Trump stagged the shot to get elected as otherwise he would have lost again. This whole Circus Clown show is pathetic.

The last Hurray for Wagons I think as pretty much other than german auto companies they are pretty much dead I think.

Agree Idiot79 is too stupid to understand that other counteries actually have intelligent people working with the Global Community in this Global economy and he along with his idiot administration is so focused on the 1% that they do not see their own self distruction. @oldshurst442 So why would you be against Mexico, America and Canada merging into one Ecosystem? Fear of The United States of Americas, fine we can call it States of North Americas if that is more to your liking or what would you call it? Take the best of all 3 regions and build an even better free trade zone that allows movement across all of North America.

Let's do this right, make is a solid 95 states and call ourselves United States of Americas. Add in the 32 federal states of Mexico, make 1 currency with multiple languages and merge the political system to representatives of each state with a Prime Minister and just get rid of the President BS. This way we have a decent Multi-Cultural Society of Humanity with 3 dominate languages, Spanish, English and French plus I am sure there are a few other odd ball dialects. United States of Americas! 95 states in all! No more Tariff issues, no more boarder issues, the boarder issues would be pushed to the south along the boarders of the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Quintanaroo.

This just reinforces why just not Jeep, but Ram, Dodge and Chrysler are garbage. https://youtu.be/Lb_mSTnnEaQ?si=4ACsqKOLnpOMLNXp

Before Idiot47's tariff war and his new 100% tariff on top of existing tariffs, I suspect GM had always figured they would build the Bolt to be in the Asian market as well as other markets like North America. Sadly, incompetent morons that clearly think Habeus Corpus is a person and not rights are too dumb to understand that global market we are in and the 1% is destroying America! One has to wonder how long American Auto Companies can survive with such poor government leadership.

Clearly Chevrolet is going for family looks and they are keeping this Bolt inline with the past generation. In order, Bolt, Equinox, Blazer

For those wondering about specifications of the last model Bolt EUV, here were some basic specifications: Powertrain: Electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Battery: 65 kWh lithium-ion battery, providing an estimated range of 247 miles on a full charge. Dimensions: Length of 169.5 inches, width of 71.7 inches, and height of 63.4 inches. Cargo Space: 16.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expandable to 57 cubic feet with the seats down. Fuel Economy: Estimated 125 MPGe in the city and 104 MPGe on the highway.

I honestly do not see employees getting 3-day work weeks due to AI bots. We are nowhere near that and as of right now, I can tell you the expectation is that those with jobs are expected to do even more now in a 5-day work week. CEOs predict new type of working week
