From the way you made it sound on your other post it almost sounds like it isn't really a n/a 1.5 but its more electronically opening the throttle beyond what your foot is therefore it's using some turbo but not really by choice.. I'm not sure if that made sense at all. Like, you said a 25% press of the pedal was opening the throttle sometimes 55% so it might be creating a little boost but not necessarily by choice..it's forcing a wider throttle opening therefore most boost.
-
Haha I'm glad it worked then! How about the choices..? Sleepers?
-
I know its been awhile but I know you've seen my little girl before.. Yorkies are the best.
-
OMG you have so many Yorkies!!!
-
This is very very intriguing to read! So really, the engineers are fooling us which is likely why the small turbo motors aren't showing much real world fuel economy gains. I'm actually very interested in your findings!
-
Yep, I just don't feel like this is needed as Buick is premium and they have a sub-compact CUV and GMC is supposed to also be premium. If GMC wants to add another CUV/SUV they should find a hole in Buick's lineup and fill that so the whole 'premium' GM brands are filled rather than just tacking on another badge job. -
I feel like if they do this they're slowly falling into pre-bankruptcy GM where they had the same vehicle w/ 3 different labels on the front of it. Let the Trax and Encore do the sub-compact lifting.

You really won't elaborate on how I'm so wrong? I replied to somebody else(dfelt) You replied to me saying 'once a year not working out is a deal breaker for some' I said 'then get a different vehicle', which you did not agree with. How is that so wrong? If a vehicle doesn't offer enough space for you the only practical thing to do is look at a different vehicle the next size up.
-
Then please elaborate so I don't misunderstand.

I don't have anything funny off the top of my head but a pair of good sleepers that comes to mind are the Trailblazer SS or the Mercury Marauder. Marauder: When Granny needs to grocery shop yesterday. SS: First quick SUV...I think..and this isn't funny but it's the end of a Monday, it's all I've got..
-
Yes sir you did. Well, it seemed like a fair question to ask what I'm not understanding. While I disagree that I don't understand that, it doesn't matter. You've made it sound like under partial throttle turbos are nonexistent. and it's just a n/a motor. That's where we've disagreed on and I'm surprised of all people you would think otherwise because you've probably driven waaaaaay more vehicles here than anybody else, most likely, more than everybody else combined. I know the little turbo on my Escape kept it from needing downshifts a heck of a lot more than my Focus with zero torque.
-
No, because you were arguing for no reason. You're trying to defend a Bolt being roomier than a Murano and an Edge when it literally is not true. There isn't more head room, there isn't more shoulder room, there isn't more leg room, and there's less hatch space.
-
Have you never heard somebody say GTFO(not the acronym) in person? Most of the time it isn't a literal yelling of "Get the f@#k Out". It's more of a " Get the f@#k Outa Here". It wasn't "demanding" you to actually get out of the thread and don't talk. I thought that was fairly obvious, but my apologies if it wasn't.
-
I know you commented first, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about I make a post and don't just comment back or respond like a civilized man, you respond with attitude. Agreeing 100% of the time blows. But finding something to disagree with 100% of the time is just annoying to deal with. Yeah, you went back on topic after you went of topic and made the topic me.
-
So I'm not sure what your issue is with me but you might as well get over it. Since I've been back you've done nothing but follow me around and start arguments, like the above quote.. The two things I did first when I came back was read a few threads, "liked" something you said, and then made a post. Not sure where the issue is but I don't get it. It doesn't matter what I say or what my opinion is, yours seems to find the opposite ground.
-
@Drew Dowdell ?
-
It does when hes knocking the larger, roomier one saying the Bolt is much better.
-
He's EV biased as much as smk is BMW/Merc biased and there's LESS room in a Bolt than in a Murano. I agree. I didn't bring up the Bolt. It's very spacious for its exterior dimensions.
-
That is correct. But, a Murano(which is what was brought up here) is larger in every interior measurement minus a 0.1 inch rear head room advantage for the Bolt. So in this case, it is just ironic that one would praise the Bolt for its space over these larger raked CUVs.
-
Well you only like the largest of SUVs and they have to be BOF. Aren't you all about EV and their efficiency? Now who cares about mpg? But you require the largest SUV in order to not talk trash about SUVs?
-
Absolutely. I mean I hear its packaging is done well but if it was for sheer space you'd see more base model larger SUVs rather than Titaniums and Premiers.

HOLY BUCKETS THATS A LOT OF EXTRA SPACE! Ugliest vehicle on the market next to the X4, X6, and GLC Coupe.

This is the only place that you lose interior volume with a raked or jelly bean style SUV. While yes it's volume that has nothing to do with putting a set of golf clubs in there. If it's too short or not wide enough then you're looking st the wrong size vehicle but that little squares off part I marked won't gain or lose you a set of clubs.
