BMW News: BMW brings Android Auto to its cars
WOW, that is very cool but with all the horror stories online about people fighting to get their wireless connection to work, I do have to wonder how good this is compared to plugging in the USB-C cable? ? @Drew Dowdell @William Maley Any chance you guys can put in a request for one of these BMW and then test out both Apple and Android phones on them as a comparison to what you get in everyone else's auto?

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes Debuts the 2021 GLA
Grant MB respect for some respectful numbers on the auto since it is nothing more than a cheap ass FWD appliance with some horsepower. External is just Blah Jelly Bean. Internal is Cheap ass looing with those ugly circle plastic vents. Looks like a ricer version meant to go into a Playstation or Xbox game.

Chevrolet News:2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban Debut with Independent Suspension and available Duramax
WOW ? excited for the power trains, independant suspension, suspension options, etc. Much to like here and I think the Diesel will be a Hit here in the Suburban. Exterior Styling is a FAILURE!, How do they expect to gain market share from #3 place with these hideous looking auto's? ? Guess GM is willing to accept 3rd place behind Ford and RAM over putting a real style into the trucks / SUVs. SAD ? If that spy shot is the True Escalade to come, then Cadillac has lost me as a customer as that is as Blah Ugly as the rest of the CUV lineup. Yes, a long term Cadillac customer that HATES the current styling. GM truly has lost it's MOJO!

Land Rover News: Rumorpile: Land Rover Considering New Entry Model
I have very mixed emotions about their product style lineup as well as the reliability. I am seeing plenty around broken down and traded in. Surprising how many are here on the lots. According to auto trader in the greater Seattle area we have 335 new, 515 used in of which all are certified except 35. Crazy to have that heavy of 2 and 3 year old versions.

I appreciate all things but like @Robert Hall stated, much belongs in the books or museums and I like moving forward into the future. Prefer things to change much faster than they are. As I would love to be in space moving between planets and seeing our Universe.

This is an EXCELLENT Video about EVs and why today they fail in regards to Towing, but this is only the start and with battery tech slated to improve, this will be rectified. I like what he has to say, worth watching. 18 min video Very cool clear example of efficiency of EV versus ICE.

Review: 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate
Like the looks of this version of the Santa Fe, shame they cannot get a properly powerful engine that has smooth linear delivery of power.

I wish I was more aware of cars as I would have told my Grandma to give me her 71 or 72 2-door Orange Buick Skylark hard top with fake white roof and big block V8. She drove that car like hell on wheels and it was a blast. Would love to have it now.

When there were FOUR 350 V8 engines - your opinion
One would have thought "What If" GM had actually realized they could have one engine development team for all of GM in the 60's or 70's where GM would be today and if the Bankruptcy could have been avoided. Course one could then say, where would Chevrolet be now if GM had not Wasted money on Saturn but invested that money / tech into Chevrolet. Always can say "What if!"
