Because the're all hatchbacks except the Model S and 3, aren't they? Everything else seems to be hybrid or plug-in hybrids. More reasons to dislike the dang thing... ?

Hatchbacks don't sell very well in the US at all. I wish they did... Well not ones that look like the Bolt.

Hahaha I actually saw the video a week or so ago but it was from the passenger seat.. IDIOTS.

OoOoOoooo SPORT MODE for the SUV/van/car Bolt! I bet that blows the doors off of exactly nothing Tesla makes.

I could very easily see that as a complaint and the Ram's air suspension could probably solve that, if it doesn't already. They could have the truck connect to the home's wifi or know it's address and as soon as you pull into the driveway it drops down do you don't have to sit waiting at your garage door for it to lower. That'd be pretty fancy. I think Tesla does something similar but raises up for the driveway curb, if I'm not wrong. I believe they are the magic 79.9 inches wide though. Once they hit 80" they have to have the marker lights added like the duallies do.

Aaaand the truck itself weighs less.

If my reading on it earlier is correct it’s interior volume + trunk volume and the Model 3 is 97+15 which puts it technically in the Large car class. Edit: Mid Size is correct.

It is also classified as a mid-size by EPA standards, if I remember correctly. ??‍♂️ YUP. You know whats ironic about that is I originally thought you said Bolt but I reread it and I reread it WRONG.

Can I share your drugs...

It's like the inverse of an auto enthusiast statement. Might as well just say you're in love with electric cars too... ? In what world is that class of car considered "subcompact"?

Who would have thought you'd think it was a upgrade? A hybrid CUV/van/wagon mix is never an upgrade.

Blah Blah Blah that's going from a sporty car to a half-ass CUV/car/van-like thing. That's a downgrade.

That's one heck of a downgrade.

"with better handling. Will beat anything in its class on the track." That's a ballsy line right there.

So is the Suburban based off the 2500 or still 1500, like I thought? I think if they went Silverado-like interiors it would benefit them more as they have everything from work trucks to luxury trucks in High Country trim ad being able to use that for more vehicles(Avalanche) would probably benefit them more. And here I thought it was always a Silverado modified and not a Suburban.

I know @Drew Dowdell would love for Chevy to bring back an Avalanche! Seems relatively simple when it comes to platform and parts as they're all already there in the Silverado.

Lincoln Blackwood! This time don't make it a joke though. I think if there's room for the Platinums and Denalis there is room for another luxury mid size luxury truck and this time make it a real luxury truck and not some useless "truck". Ford already has the engines it will need in a base 2.3 and an optional 2.7 can be shoehorned in or they can use the already Lincoln-only 400hp 3.0TT. Trucks are huge and luxury vehicles sell.. Lincoln on the other hand may be the problem in getting them to actually sell.

Yeah because they also added options that previous gen didn't have like a pano sunroof and other weight adding things. So some of it was a wash. I thought it was neat, when it came out, in the most basic and stripped down form it could weigh as little as 4050lbs. Here's a little talk about the weight loss from 2014 to 2015 for the F150. https://www.torquenews.com/106/lightest-2015-ford-f150-weighs-less-camaro-zl1-all-half-ton-trucks

Wasn't the Ford just a tad lighter with the aluminum body? I'd wager that the Silverado is a hundred or so pounds lighter again. It's always difficult to compare as they always have different equipment packages in big comparison tests.

I know 15hp is negligible in vehicles of this weight but I'd think 52tqs would be pretty noticeable in comparable trims. I don't see this turbo 4 running mid 14's through the 1/4 mile or 60mph in under 6 seconds. I think it'll do its job fantastically. I just don't see it competing with the Ford 2.7.

I'm not even sure what I'd bring back.. There seems to be a lot out there now. I think something in a similar size class to the GM twins you spoke of would be pretty awesome as well, an S2000. They could have a base 1.5 and a nastier 2.0 engine. This is brain buster of a question for me and I don't think it should be lol.

I really don't think the V6 2.7 was a benchmark at all for the Chevy 2.7. Maybe they wanted overall performance similar to it but that's gotta be able it. Even than, I think they would have done it if they wanted to. Also, the Ford 2.7 puts out 400lb-ft of torque, which definitely would be felt.

^ That is actually really sad...

Wow, that would have been a perfect base engine!

GM has the 5.3 to compete with the Ford 2.7.
