    One Mid Size, one Compact, 500 lbs difference in weight, be interesting to see Drews review when he gets the Clarity and drives it to read his thoughts on the car and how it stacks up to the VOLT. In regards to the Bailout of GM, people need to get over the history and realize that EVERYONE paid for saving MILLIONS of jobs and a far healthier company. VOTE OUT the ENTRENCHED IDIOTS in DC if you want real change. In regards to Lincoln committed to Cars, if they can bring out true luxury Hybrid cars and CUVs that out shine the competition, they will go far, until then, the rebadge of Ford products has a long way to go. Start by putting the quality of the Navigator interior into all auto's Stat!

    Style, dash, Honda's in ability to actually have a solid performing hybrid, Heck so many petro only auto's that perform better than Honda has done with their Hybrids. Volt is NOT a sub compact car.

    VOLT would be superior to the Clarity Nightmare. Get a VOLT, Far superior than this car. You can get CPO Volts with less than 36K miles for 10-14K.

    IF GM cannot seem to read the bones, crystal ball or what ever else you need to call it, then they need to wake up as Performance in SUVs needs to happen across all lines. GMC needs to bring back a Syclone AWD Truck and Typhoon AWD SUV just as Chevy has the RST line. Cadillac needs a V edition of the Escalade and XT line as does Buick need a Grand National or GS edition of their CUVs. These all need to be TRUE Performance not just badging.

    Hi Drew, So was looking through the garage, clicked on a few pics and got the error EX0 - Something went wrong, please try again. I then went and clicked on your Encore, same error, then checked each of my own pics and always the same error. Seems no matter what picture I click on, then click on the image tab and click the JPG

    Had dinner with the wife and daughter tonight. At the seafood place there was a brand new Stelvio right next to a Buick Rainer, if we were not running late for our dinner appointment, I would have stopped to snap a pic. I will say that I agree with the wife that the Rainier was very clean show room like for such an old SUV. Stelvio is just blah, nothing special about that cuv.

    I get that they are offering a cheaper version to bring in the value customer, but reality is that the 64 kWh batter at over 450 Kilometers is what the average customer is going to want and expect. I can only imagine a few of the smaller battery being sold to inner city living folks that would never want to go to the suburbs or on longer road trips and if they do, probably will rent an auto then.

    Clarity makes me due to the looks.

    Good read, thanks for posting. It is interesting that One, he CHOSE to skip some places he could have charged at, he also passed right over that in a Power Outage, gas stations DO NOT work either! There is some great info here, but he also ignores common sense in checking the details of knowing what DC fast chargers have limits and what ones do not. Lack of common sense is his own fault for spending more time than needed to get to where he wanted to go. He also points out he has a Tesla that could use the Proprietary charging systems across the state to get there much faster. Multiple choices including his own lack of planning on charging stops and how long they would charge. What this shows is that we are at the beginning of the EV change over, there is plenty of work to still be done and having a gas auto for road trips make more sense than an EV. As Drew points out, for 95% of people, the BOLT makes a great daily driver. His final quote at the end is a true fact of where we are at today with EV's: EV technology has finally reached a point at which “range anxiety” alone is no longer a serious concern, but we’re not at the point where EVs and gasoline-powered cars are completely interchangeable. Until the gap closes, plan ahead and be prepared. I see this as nothing but a positive showing that Petro auto's have a valid and long term use in society but so does EV's as local daily drivers. Win / Win for both powertrains! Very common to ride into town, water and feed your horse as you took care of business.

    US limits gasoline fill ups across the country to 10 gallons per min maximum or 35 gallons per min for commercial diesel. Agree that right now there are more petro options than EV charging options. Yet starting out in the 1900's, there were more water tanks and hay feed bags then petro stations as horses out numbers auto's. We are in that same state now with EV compared to Gas.

    The First Robo Cop movie, the Original was a telltale sign of the future. They talked about Big is Better and Room inside is King The all new 6000 SUX, a hybrid or pure electric CUV. I can see a limited market for Cars in the Future, SUV/CUV/Truck will be KING as we meet fuel standards via the new power trains. Welcome to the Future!

    oops, yup overlooked that, totally sucks.

    I would avoid at all cost a 2019 issue that is known to have electrical issues. WOW that is just sad, showing that the money they took and poured into the stupid wasted Alfa crap is coming back to haunt them.

    I hope GM / Ford wake up to the need to have a couple cars, but also the need to have cheap CUV's in the low end that would replace cheap cars.

    I wonder just how much overkill this brand will do by going unibody everything and giving up body on frame for the defender line.

    I would hate to be on a boat with 10,000 plus people in a cramped place and not be able to clearly get away from everyone.

    I understand the bigger over all number, but was looking at Mass bigger revenue per cap and % numbers which is bigger than Jersey. All still suck.
  21. G. David Felt
    Just be glad your not in Mass or Minn those states gotta suck.

    That will NEVER happen, the Feds rely on California for their budget way too much. Top 15 states in order of federal tax collections.

    Looking at the Imec's innovative solid state battery tech, one is left with excitement at the fast charging stable batteries that are on their way for the future. Check out the video as they plan to out pace and replace the wet Li-ion batteries.

    Just based on what they have released and I am reading elsewhere besides here, this mild hybrid system is very mild and really is not going to offer much other than complexity to the powertrain gas system. It will be interesting to see just how much they state this system will give their auto and real world testing actually shows. I honestly am not expecting much from this system.

    My opinion on reading here and multiple other sites is that the Suicide doors are a mid cycle refresh. Could be the last Hurrah of the car as it gets those great doors and probably some very nice upgrades.
