GM Increasing production in Uzbekistan
If this is true based on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock-down_kit These are Semi Knock-down kits. So an auto that is in some sort of partial assembly imported as parts, final assembly and then exported to other markets at lower costs to importing or exporting a complete product. Interesting ?

GM Increasing production in Uzbekistan
According to Wards Auto, GM is planning to expand production in their joint plant in Uzbekistan to help drive an increase in sales of Chevrolet and Ravon brands across Middle East and Africa. https://www.wardsauto.com/industry/gm-increases-production-uzbekistan New Tracker will be produced there with a 1.8L 4 cylinder producing 140HP. GM says these auto's will be produced using GM SKD Kits. Anyone ever hear of a GM SKD Kit? @Drew Dowdell @William Maley

Fiat News: FCA's European Business Problem
Seems FCA is wasting more money on product that will have limited sales and cost money not make it. Alfa 600 HP 2 door Coupe. https://autoweek.com/article/rumormill/alfa-romeo-gtv-and-spider-heres-what-expect Talk about a waste of time and efforts when the market does not care nor want auto's like this. YES, Enthusiast want these cars, but they do not make the profits and FCA needs to focus on profits more than Luxury Halo models.

Have to say the more I look at this, I like the more traditional SUV / CUV look and the interior is better than the BOLT. I also like the 3 package levels.

https://jalopnik.com/why-did-this-genius-truck-bed-hatch-take-so-long-to-inv-1828494840 Story at the above link but I have to agree, a bed cover that can act as a slider and a lift is awesome. Had my fair share of Tonneau covers and this is super slick having both.

Meh, I would rather have this Ford or the 1950 GMC Truck rescue.

I think this is all tied into the image issue @Drew Dowdell said he was working on. Not sure why but I lost my image quote too. Very weird.

I actually agree with CCAP41, that with plug-in hybrids and EVs that the CUV craze is not going anywhere but we could see the death of most cars and traditional SUVs as people move to a Lifestyle CUV that better meets their needs. As OEMs move to a global platform and as we move away from ICE auto's, I can see a platform that you just choose the type of cab you want that then gets connected to the skateboard type platform and boom you have your auto done. Auto assembly as seen in the Movie MInority Report is the future of where we are heading.- $35k Sports Car Question
Love the Corvette look inside and out compared to the mustang and miata. I would not turn down a Mustang though if offered to me. Miata, that can die as too small and not comfy at all for me.- Cadillac News: Spying: Telling the Difference Between the Cadillac CT4 and CT5

FCA has some hard reality to address in the future and that is cutting on over bloated workforce on terrible products that no one really wants to buy except that they are cheap. Welcome to a new world and I believe FCA choose an American to lead who is willing to cut the workforce in places that socialist have believed they have control of but really do not. - Cadillac News: Spying: Telling the Difference Between the Cadillac CT4 and CT5
