    Kind of what I’m getting at. Regardless of how many different makes there are out there currently, they are all niche at best.

    Care to provide some actual numbers of “hot hatches” sold versus the standard fare of said models?

    When the cover is actually better than the original.

    Just damn! The percussive genius that is Danny Carey!

    Just “NO” to this photoshop fail. The front and back should be burned with napalm.

    I realize that’s a grainy looking pic but am I the only one that sees a bit of a Cadillac in it? Maybe not. Just a thought shot to gauge anything reasonable from it. The basic elements do look more upscale though.
  8. surreal1272
    Definitely not a good song because of the vocals but the lyrics and the video more than make up for it.

    The GLB is a compact, not a sub-compact. The GLA is a sub-compact. Having looked at the pics of the third row I’m assuming that any kids that have to go back there are double leg amputees. I’ve said it before, if you need a third row for ANY reason, get a suitable size vehicle. Ones this size are purely a marketing gimmick IMO and a bad one at that.

    Yet there are limitations to even those. The ICE has been out for well over a century yet those gains have been very gradual and there have been limitations. Examples? All the motors not being made anymore because they hit certain limitations like the Triton 5.4L. It was never going to hit certain MPGs targets as well as higher horsepower targets. That’s just one example of limitations. For the record, I never said there hasn’t been progress made with ICE but the resident EV hater seems to think that the limitations of EVs are damning enough to dismiss them entirely while ignoring the obvious progress they have made.

    Thus solidifying my point. There’s a camera AND a screen to contend with in that situation.
  12. surreal1272
    Which is exactly my point to my last post. Cheaper to maintain by a country mile. Oh and some insurance coverage plans will cover a broken mirror. Your HD side view screen goes out? Better talk to the manufacturer and hope it’s still under warranty.
  13. surreal1272
    Really? That’s your response? There’s numerous articles on this very website starting with this very article. The Bolt is gaining 21 miles per charge. That’s progress albeit small progress. That’s just one of several examples available without ever leaving this very website. Good grief car salesman. If you’re going to troll, at least make it a challenge. Now about your lying, well that is all over this website as well. Turns out it’s not so “random” and about as obvious as your insecurities about anything you don’t happen to agree with. “Surreal, don't think I don't remember when you dug in your heels insisting the Bolt IS NOT a CUV... now you say it is.“ That was a lie. Maybe that thought was a little too random for you.
  14. surreal1272
    We know the limitations (and the history) of the ICE as well. Maybe we should just sidestep that little fact (or should I say “facts”?) to save your delicate sensibilities. Every year in the last ten years has shown progress on just about every front where EVs are concerned (from increased range, faster charges, to increased infrastructure). These are all facts that have addressed these “limitations”. Is it all the way there yet? No but again, the progress doesn’t lie. Only you.
  15. surreal1272
    Exactly my thought. When that tech goes on the fritz (and it will) one will wish they had that low tech mirror.
  16. surreal1272
    Don’t know why you’re confused. Balthazaar brought up the Sonic as a comparison in price to the Bolt which I think was not applicable as they are two completely different platforms, one obviously using more development dollars than the other.
  17. surreal1272
    And the Sonic is going bye bye so... We are talking about two different sets of numbers too.
  18. surreal1272
    Not going to happen not does it need. Most people would buy it even if it were at $40K (which I have already pointed out with the fact that there are equinoxes already selling for that kind of money) simply because it’s a reasonably sized CUV. We will just have to agree to disagree about that Sonic comparison. And I pointed it out as such while you literally offer not a damn thing because well “EVs suck”. One day you’ll show us on a doll where the EV boogeyman touched you. Never said otherwise as I also figured it was implied.
  19. surreal1272
    Except Bolt and Sonic do not share one thing so that’s not really an apples to oranges comparison. Honestly if they could keep it at $40-42K, there would be a fair number of takers for it. Hell, a top of the line Equinox pushes and than some in certain configurations. For the record I’ve seen Bolts prices at $45K and if they can get the Nox to that price, it’s certainly a better option than the smaller and quirkier looking Bolt.
  20. surreal1272
    I see your point but you’re speculating on that price. They would only need to sell at 10% of the equinox current sales numbers to be on track to being a more mainstream option as opposed to the niche the Bolt is. Just my opinion though.
  21. surreal1272
    And trolling award winner strikes back with no empirical evidence to back up his baseless comment. An Equinox would certainly sell in higher numbers than a Bolt and might actually turn a profit for GM if done right, ie market the damn thing.
  22. surreal1272
    LMAO! For the record, my comment was meant as a joke in response to Blus claim that talking about EVs too much (whatever the F that means) was not “random”.
  23. surreal1272
    Two pages of talking about old cars and trucks is not very random. Pretty sure there is a category for this on this site.
  24. surreal1272
    That Jolt has a definite Cadillac ELR vibe but it would never work. To get EVs truly into the mainstream conscience, you have to start with CUVs sadly. Once that happens, then niche cars like the Jolt idea can be explored.
  25. surreal1272
    Personally I wouldn’t worry about the troll who brought up the “concern” because it was an obvious trolling/butthurt comment. Complete with a disco ball and a mirrored ceiling! Got to make it feel special!
