    I would take any Mini Cooper over any Smart car. Absolutely overpriced garbage.
  2. surreal1272
    I apparently do that more often than I’d like lol. Such is life sometimes though.

    Really iPhone? That should say “I could SEE them also starting...” Fat fingered typing.

    You would think it would be both but it would seem to make sense to start with the higher volume model (full size) in a effort to mitigate the costs. I could them also starting with midsize just to test the waters but if you’re going to go all in then you might as well start with your bread and butter models.

    Read what I actually said though (in response to ocnblu). I know that specific policies have affected it but his claim was more about their politics in general and even their immigration “issues”. Below is what I replied to but you are correct on the specific policies. “The EU is a fractured entity, insignificant and losing steam, overrun by immigrants who will not assimilate. Look at France. Look at Britain, desperate to break away, desperate to return to sovereign status over its own people. A failed experiment.“

    Me believes you think too highly of yourself. “Australian Shepherd”? More like a neurotic Jack Russell Terrier looking to nip at anyone’s ankles whenever positive news comes out regarding EVs. Nothing clear headed about it while others (speaking against EVs) do it with more tact and actual common sense. The pace may be questioned. The marketing may be questioned. Hell, all sorts of things can be questioned where EVs are concerned but it is coming and it will eventually be the new norm and not the outlier or exception. That is the way of the technological world where some diehard anti-EV folks will join the ranks of folks like the flat earth society while the rest of us move on.

    You are owed nothing from me and both of my posts about EVs here were of the positive. If all you want to do is focus on my signature because you seemingly have the notion that it’s all about you, then that is our problem. The only one inciting here is you. I love your little “since you’re one of those people” jab like that is supposed to be an insult. Not taking your bait ocnblu so get over it and move on. Now, about the actual subject, The politics (or how you perceive them) have nothing to do with the growing sales of EVs while sales of other cars have been sagging or flat.

    Other than the natural progression of EVs in the marketplace, it seems that the negative PR that comes with diesel these days is probably playing a big part in the increase in sales there.

    When you make future remarks about others trolling, I want you to look back on posts like this as to why it is hypocritical. Oh and you’re not the only person on this planet I have talked to about EVs and who has a problem with them. It a blanket statement about those who refuse to see progress. Not everything is about you. Now do you have anything non-trolling to add here or is that all?
  10. surreal1272
    Proving that there is a market for EVs even if some folks want to close their eyes to the obvious.
  11. surreal1272
    Now it does depend on the year with those. Here, the 1st gen models go up to $15K (until you get to 2011) and those tend to be the 550/AMG varieties. The mileage is a killer though because you know that after 100K, German cars start forcing themselves into your bank account with your money screaming “#METOO”! Very much unwanted for most folks. Nice and rare.
  12. surreal1272
    The *better* looking one... (is what that should say). The Aurora was a sharp looking ride back in the day.
  13. surreal1272
    I can agree with that. The 1st gen is probably the looking one overall but I like the nose (especially the headlamp design) of the 2nd gen better than the 1st. You can pick up a 1st gen at a pretty decent price and I’d be curious to have one if it weren’t for the ever so high maintenance costs of them.
  14. surreal1272
    It was meant as tongue in cheek ccap. I have already stated that going to the Bolt page shows that it is referred to as a “car” and not an “SUV” or “CUV”. Going to the Trax page refers to it as an SUV.
  15. surreal1272
    While the coupe style has been a mixed bag for me, I have always liked the CLS. Don’t know why but it pulls off the coupe look nicely. The one driven in “Ray Donovan” is super nice.
  16. surreal1272
    I think that’s my main problem with the CT5 as well. The short deck lid makes it look like the back end was cut off (especially when viewing the profile). The front end is spot on and I dig it 100% but it kind of falls off when you reach the back.
  17. surreal1272
    Helping sales or not, I’ve seen a few around town and cannot look around that hideous Asztek rear end. Just horrible. The presence of a CVT does not help its cause but I think all CVTs should be burned with dragon fire.
  18. surreal1272
    The EPAs own website (and a side by side comparison with the EV SUV Tesla Model X). Notice the size classifications
  19. surreal1272
    Not disagreeing with your assessment. It’s more about how it was being marketed and sold. One mention in a order guide that most people don’t use doesn’t change the fact that it was never marketed as a CUV. GM flubbed the marketing completely, whether it be because of the design (which is a valid complaint for most folks), the price, or any other number of reasons. None of this changes what I have brought up to the resident anti-EV troll. When looking for a crossover or SUV on Chevrolet.com, here are your options. Funny how there is no Bolt on there.
  20. surreal1272
    I don’t think you understand the definition of the word “troll”. Also, I don’t give a damn what the order guide says. Most customers don’t go there and don’t even know about them unless they deal with fleet sales. When you go to Chevrolet.com to build one (or just research it), you will find not ONE mention of it as being a CUV. No salesman has ever sold the Bolt as a CUV and no one has ever confused as a CUV especially with just one glance at the window sticker on the lot that says “wagon”. You are trying to use a weak argument of semantics because you have nothing else. Fact is that if the Bolt tech had gone into an Equinox (for example), sales would have been higher. Everyone else but you sees that. Maybe it’s just denial or your simple hate of everything EV but it doesn’t change those facts. And you have the nerve to call anyone else here a “troll”. LMAO!
  21. surreal1272
    Most people drive precisely because of “consermerism” whether they realize it or not.
  22. surreal1272
    The crickets are his only friends since that’s all he seems to hear lol. Why else bother with yet more trolling remarks?
  23. surreal1272
    Quoting wiki now? Yeah, that’s reliable. Talk about a simple statement lol. Your desperation is starting to show. Now about that CT5, the one GM says is a “3 series and C Class competitor” despite the near ten inches more in length (see where this is going yet ocnblu?), will this really mean that there will not be a smaller model underneath it, i.e. a CT4? There still seems to be some confusion about that.
  24. surreal1272
    Now, I’m done with this @ocnblu because it has gotten sidetracked here. Go on believing that you aren’t doing anything else here other than trolling and crying about EVs but this is about the CT5 and I think it needs to get back to that. That’s all you got? Point proven.
  25. surreal1272
    Settle down there junior. You clearly had time for it or you wouldn’t be here. Here’s some more evidence. Now you will the first two images saying everything but CUV. The third is for the Trax CUV, from Chevys own page. The first paragraph states that it is an “SUV”, much how the Bolts own page states that is a “car”. Understand the difference yet?
