  1. Had no idea till this morning when I saw this email from GM Performance that this year is 100 years of Chevy Trucks!
  2. Interior shot alone shuts shouts mash up of miss matched design.Thin side of center floor stack to thick side on passenger side. Glove box door clearly off on left sunk in compared to right side. Center vents of dash rectangle to circle on the outsides, just a mess. I see nothing here that says luxury let alone quality. The continuation of problems with the auto nav system would this far into the launch of the auto when you have to restart the auto to get it to work screams incompetence to me. Just as Alfa left in a flaming mess in the 70's, it came back in that same mess and still is garbage. I see nothing to validate any of the reviews that this is worth $72K let alone $42K. This is what I would call a Kia Competitor from Kia's Early days and I very much doubt it will get better unlike Kia that has a quality product much better than this car.
  3. Did the rain and snow cause it to give way?
  4. No at least for me it does not. Good solid wiper fluid to use. I like using it in addition to the RainX applied fluid to the whole windshield. I have crystal clear vision with it even on the passes with all the salt solution they use.
  5. I am willing to bet that they will push a detuned V12 on the Maybach and have a better performing turbo V8 with Electric assist that they will point at in justifying sales numbers and killing the V12 for the Maybach also. Just a matter of making it look bad on each and every line of auto. No different than any other auto company.
  6. Washington state is one of the states that fully adopted California emissions and last update this state posted was that there are 17 states now that fully follow the CARB emissions standard. 13 fully enforce it on the auto makers. This puts much more weight behind clean air. Known as "Section 177" states, those 13 are: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington
  7. CVT sucks, people know that, ugly refresh, GM seems to be focused on moving everyone whether they like it or not to CUV/SUV/Trucks as they kill off cars. Yet that just seems narrow thinking in my business book. Why can the American auto companies not figure out how to keep a couple good looking, selling auto's around and still also supply what the bulk of the public has moved too.
  8. Come on, you love a good love fest! Enough love to go around, Greek, Italian, American, German, Asian, Love the world over!
  9. If they do it will be the death of Dodge as Fiat/Alfa cannot build quality stuff at all.
  10. If I was to get back into bike riding, it would have to be like this yamaha bike. Nothing Else has really interested me except maybe this since it is an EV!. Or this Or this which is the only Harvey Davidson I would ever consider riding. This new EV startup looks comfy!
  11. Agree that I also do not like the Big Mouth Billy bass look and wonder about why they are not using the 9 spd tranny and are going to a CVT?
  12. Drew, do you know if there is a backwards compatibility list of a head unit that is in this model can work in these older ones? Example, The Head unit in my 2008 Trailblazer SS looks just like the Head unit in my 2006 Escalade ESV. The new unit has far better volume control and other features, so wondering if it would work as an update in my older escalade. Have not found any backwards what was used in this product line can also work in these others.
  13. Been looking at buying an Audio update for my auto's as the Android auto feature is the way to go. Lucky a number of 3rd party stereo systems with Android / Apple are compatible with the steering wheel buttons without having to hack the electrical system.
  14. GMC site has the following listed for building: Shocking to see a Denali XL fully loaded hit 90K. WOW
  15. These all remind me of the Current Gen Honda's now. And what is up with going stupid CVT and leaving 6 sp in the gas versions and not use the 9sp. At this rate, GM is going to lose me to Ford or even non-American. GM, wake up as your killing good product for terrible bland blah auto's.
  16. Here is a bike for us older gentlemen! Yamaha Niken Yamaha used to have a nice road tripping bike that I liked but just learned that they no longer build it. So now there seems to be no bike I like, gonna have to look at the EV's again.
  17. Good Question as a crotch rocket would not be fun to drive down to Florida.
  18. I totally WISH they were still building them. I would have one now then. I just finished a 7 day trip up to Banff Canada and soaking in the Hot springs and covered 1570 miles round trip spending 5 days of relaxation at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. Averaged 18.2 mpg on the trip in the Escalade. Talk about a comfy road trip auto that just eats up the miles and I was doing around 80 mph the whole time. Yes, I know it cost money in gas, but it really is worth it when talking about a total comfy road trip. Gas cost for 1570 miles = 86.26 gallons at an average $2.95 per gallon = $254.48 cost. Way cheaper than flying, rental, etc.
  19. Still think you should pick up a clean Escalade EXT.
  20. Agree, GM should have had at least 2 engine choices and they should have rolled out the VOLT powertrain long ago across multiple auto's.
  21. Very cool, but could it fit a Motorcycle? plus with no wall between the seats, I would think it would be windy or was there a wall that I just did not see?
  22. Seattle does rain more often than other places, so that could be why I use it so much more often. The RainX washer fluid works well to keep the windshield treatment lasting longer but still it does wear off.
  23. @Drew Dowdell Maybe if they had taken the Trailblazer / Envoy EXT and made it a 5ft bed it would have been good. After seeing this, I think if they had put a 5 foot bed on it, it would have been a better seller. Plus add electric motor assist for a hybrid.
