Might as well just remove our head and add a Fly style of robot head with 360 view. -

Very true, sadly not sure how one could better train people walking to not Zombie in front of a moving auto because their smartphone is so much more important than paying attention to where one walks. -
The smog back then from Leaded gas auto's just amazes me that we did not kill ourselves off sooner. Crazy! ?

Industry News: Pedestrian Deaths in Car Crashes Are Rising
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
My gut tells me this is not anything new about SUVs, but more of a distracted driving issue. We have clearly those that love to drive and those that care less. On top of the idiots that think driving is a privilege and anyone should be given a drivers license and allowed on the road. Lets first start with making the training more intense and focused on quality drivers before blaming the auto. -

G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Nissan
Totally makes sense, Hybrid, EV and Petro can easily replace Diesel except in Semi, medium duty and person trucks for pulling. Cars I see no reason for them anymore. -
Thanks, it could be, it was on an old photo web site about the differences of the 70's and now and I thought it was very interesting.

1973 Ann Arbor Michigan, EPA Exhibit of future EV Auto's. "Sundancer" Louisville Ohio 1972 before the EPA Clean Air Act, Smog so thick you can cut it with a knife and the EPA is rolling back these beneficial programs all for the sake of money.

Lincoln News: Lincoln: We're Still Committed to Cars
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Lincoln
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!- 43 replies

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.- 43 replies

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.- 43 replies

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.

Why EVs Have a Long Road Ahead
G. David Felt replied to ccap41's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
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.
