I'd post pics but photobucket blows ass now... But throw up a LaX interior next to a 300 interior.. I'd wager good money which would be a clear winner to a group of non-biased non-car-people. True... but that's not GM's fault that FCA is letting the 300's rot.. They're still competitors regardless of how old FCA lets their models get. That's just more a props to GM for putting out a better overall product. But don't get be wrong, all of us car guys would prefer RWD and a V8 which only one of these two offer.

Shouldn't a 300(a slightly more premium model) be compared to a Buick not a Chevy? In which the Buick kicks dirt in the 300's face.

omg.. the raked roof line has zero to do with the driver's head room. That lowers the rear passengers' head room but nothing to do with the driver. Personally, I think you're just full of $h! and will do anything to defend a Bolt against any vehicle out there(because that's kind of what you do). It's a great vehicle. I like it as well but I have no clue how you can say there is more space inside of one than a larger Murano. I know there can be packaging differences that tweak some space here and there but a shorter head room is shorter head room. I can see more room that isn't measurable in the hip and knee areas that don't include how tight a center console or foot well may be or even side bolstering on a tight bucket seat.

That interior is a train wreck of colors. Eliminate any 1 color and it would look better.

I sure hope you're joking... Why in the world would they not measure them at the maximum positions? What benefit would there be to giving measurements that are smaller than their capabilities? We should call in an expert here.. @Drew Dowdell, You should be able to clarify for us on this subject.

I wouldn't want that portfolio as a whole either. There's too much that needs revamped and the product lines are so weak outside of Ram and Jeep that they'd literally just be buying a name. I want Dodge to have a full lineup like the rest of the world but they just don't and it doesn't look like they will anytime soon either.

Personally, I don't see anything specific that looks like the Acura more than any other CUV/jelly bean. Tail lights are angled in different directions, one wrap around the body, one spoiler is pointier while the other is round, one has the license place in the middle and the other on the bumper area..
-
Yeah I can see the Escape because all small CUVs are shaped similarly, same as the rear of it.. It looks like most CUV rear ends, nothing special or significant about it.. But you're definitely on drugs if you think this solid, one piece, grill looks anything like the twin kidney grills on BMWs. It resembles KIA grills..
-
Which part is Escape? Which part is MDX? This grille doesn't resemble anything from BMW.
-
I actually like these things but they must be smaller than I thought weighing only 3161lbs with batteries on board.

aeos Cummins Beats Tesla
ccap41 replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
Oh, I read this "Cummins’ use of a low-emissions internal combustion engine-generator to augment an electric truck’s batteries and provide extended range “is one of the technology architectures we’ve specifically identified as having a business case,” said Van Amburg." and assumed that was implemented in this truck. -

I LOVE that it has a Volt-like diesel generator for extended range.- 6 replies

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.
