    Talk about a great debate that would happen though! I think you would do well to do a "Common Sense applications of Auto Technology that GM is missing out on!" Volt Power Train Bolt Power Train 110 versus powered USB ports everywhere Mini Stage Coach Doors with flip up glass versus full flip up auto tailgate HUD on every auto Aero applied to cars List could go on, but a good write up with this as a starting point and then invite others to contribute what they think GM is missing or skipping on their auto's versus having tech in one auto, but not expanding to the whole company. Cool

    The price they charge for a Smart is a joke and way better options out there. They should just kill it, MB will have EV's according to SMK in every product line, so why waste money on a smart. Only in Europe does these cars make sense since they save everything historical and do not have space for comfy bigger auto's. Buying a Smart equals questionable decision skills.

    I would expect to see massive kill off by the Chinese as they buy up existing FCA, then tell each product line to use the following Chinese platforms and kill off the Fiat crap. Jeep is moving forward with Grand Wagoner as a Hybrid so it can sell in China and I expect them to debut a Jeep GC Hybrid. I know many Jeep fans that would like a GC Hybrid, first 100 miles pure electric and then the generator kicks in to give you 400 miles more range still pure electric AWD system. I can see this selling very well. This is why I am stumped as to why GM has not put the VOLT power train into each CUV line of products across all 4 families.

    Deliver the concept, not some water downed ultra conservative BS! Deliver the I.D. Crozz and you will gain market share and fans.

    Big Mouth Billy Bass! I agree the chopped top narrow windows, just does not do it for me.

    So China will give probably zero percent loan to auto companies to push outside China. This makes sense and means that FCA could be China owned next year. Gonna be interesting as the Chinese are aggressive and clearly the Communist party wants their share of world control. Be interesting to see how the US deals with this.

    Agree with everything here especially about the technology gadgets and looking / waiting for the EV's to land. BMW is truly wasting money on this A1 FWD appliance.

    Agree, time for all these Diesel lovers to put up or shut up as the 10 available diesel cruze here in washington state are all identically equiped and price out at $29,655 but are selling for just a bit over $23K plus they are advertising them to also have 0% for 72 months financing.

    Totally agree, I would not be surprised to hear most of the current projects that are not 50% or more along in the process to market are delayed as they rework the launches to use PSA platform as they retire GM platforms.

    I can understand your thought on this and I think I have an answer to that question. It really is a simple answer - Range and Charging availability. Currently other than Tesla and Chevrolet, all others are limited to around 100 miles. Rang anxiety does exist big time for auto buyers. Followed by where can I charge it up. Does not matter that 100 miles covers most peoples daily commute, we want an auto that like ICE can be driven for days without having to charge it. Bolt is the first cheap available EV with long range. Tesla is second if we can really say the first 30 auto's went to employees and are true purchases and not some employee lotto that is a beta test. I honestly think Nissan will be #2 having a long rang EV on the lots to buy. I get the low battery to hit a cheap price point, but I think most will opt for longer range. Once you have 4-6 options that have 200 to 300 miles of range on a charge we will see a shift in buying habits. More noticeable on the west coast with it's larger charging infrastructure than elsewhere but it does have to start someplace.

    Ya know lots and as one that drives one I can respect your thoughts on it. As mostly everyone knows, I am a big person so I drive full size SUV's, so I am a bit colored by the room of an SUV compared to a car when I ride with someone else. Course I also like a high seating position again compared to a car. Appreciate your thoughts on this.

    Have a stripped tin can with a big fat V8 would stimulate sales as people who want a Camaro with V8 but nothing else will buy. The good ol days of a sleeper with power.

    Your right I have not driven one yet, neighbor has one and I have ridden in them. Not bad for a commuter car, but still blah. Would not want to be in it for a long drive. Very uninspiring. Cheap and some people love it. Meh for me.

    Over all, unless you are a die hard VW fan, this is a big pass. Just a blah of an update of a very old dinosaur. Meh Sure and the optional upgrade is a very cool 8 track!

    I truly believe the next drop of Tesla 3 reservations will happen once Leaf 2.0 starts shipping. Later this fall will the the 3rd drop in reservations as we start to see the announcements of other EV's with on sale dates. Once we have firm be on the lot to kick the tire dates I suspect that Tesla could see their reservations drop to around 200-250K. I think people will move onto other manufactures once they see the real world range of the EV's that are available.

    How the hell does IP Australia think the red cross image looks like the corvette image? Me think some other moron is trying to trademark the corvette emblem as their own.

    Spending some time looking at the pictures, this is to me one of the best looking current Asian cars out there. While the interior looks tight to me, I do like the fighter cockpit dash. Some of the controls especially on the steering wheel look a bit dated to me, but over all nice job that has been done. Should sell well.

    Not a bad looking car, much better than what Honda has. Pretty much a warmed up left over left over from the frig that they are trying to keep relevant without spending a ton of money. Makes one wonder if they will recover the costs spent on this car.
