Maybe you meant “Pantera”? And I agree. Hard to believe that most of the good stuff from the 90s is more than a quarter century old now. The life and times of the modern old fart I guess.

Sorry. Meant to source that. https://www.dieselforum.org/vehiclesales/u-s-vehicle-sales-dashboard

For all the hiccups in gaining a solid foothold in the US, EVs and alternative fuel vehicles are doing far better than anything Diesel which is only propped by pick up sales with a few van sales sprinkled in for good measure. They are non-existent in CUVs and sedans. Funny how those dismal sales aren’t brought up by EV haters with the same vigor that is presented here.
-
Honestly @balthazar covered it pretty damn well. The resident hater, that never offers anything to an EV discussion other than snarky remarks and trolling, should read that three times before joining in an adult discussion again.

I don’t give two $h!s what you think I remember. No AWD or 4WD option equals tall wagon. Again, regardless of the ONE GM page you found said, their own window stickers say “Wagon” and they were not once marketed as a CUV. And your reading comprehension is lacking as usual I said that it “looks like a CUV” not that it was a CUV and that CUV buyers will not look twice at it SINCE IT IS NOT A CUV! Understand it now? Big difference there that even a five year old could figure out. And comparing a car that’s half the price of the Bolt (your Kicks reference)? That takes a special kind of stretching to say the least. Just keep that level of ignorance to yourself next time. Wtf does my previous job have anything to do with this conversation? The answer is “nothing”. Personally I find it sad that you’ve done it for 26 years yet come off as spectacularly ignorant towards a huge subsection of cars but that laugh fest is for another time. For the record though, I’ve worked at three different dealerships in two states in the last eighteen years, two of those in sales. Doesn’t change any facts mentioned here so keep that condescending BS to yourself. Speaking of “how many times” How many times do we need that you hate EVs? You talk the talk but sure as hell cant walk the walk. Just more juvenile snowflake bull$h!.

That sounds an awful lot like a homophobic insult. Well, just relax there junior.

I will second several points echoed from the past (one of which dfelt already pointed out). The looks are a problem for a lot of folks. It looks like a CUV yet it offers nothing that other CUVs offer, like AWD or 4WD. That kills a huge subsection of potential CUV buyers looking to go green. Second, and this is the big one, has been total lack of marketing, much like the diesels certain folks here crow over. I worked at a Chevy dealership last year and during that time they had exactly one Bolt that sat for almost two months with a $44K price tag on it. Most of the sales people knew jack and $h! about the car and that price was a huge pill to swallow for a lot of folks. All of this had nothing to do with the powertrain and that’s what the dinosaurs don’t get. It has said a million times in the last, that had the EV tech gone in something more like the Equinox, sales would be better (potential high price not withstanding). I don’t know why the EV hater here doesn’t get what has been discussed a thousand times now but those are the simple facts. Diesels don’t sell for $h! here either and their issues have cost manufacturers BILLIONS. Guess, by your logic, we should give those up too right? Just for you @ocnblu, this article covers the issues facing the Bolt perfectly. Read it, understand it, and move on from your endless troll act. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/brookecrothers/2019/07/21/chevy-bolt-the-best-ev-youve-never-heard-of--still/amp/

Ah deflection, the favorite practice of the defeated. I actually have every song in my collection that I’ve posted here. The title of the thread is “What are you listening to?” not “Be careful what you post or you may affect Blu’s delicate sensibilities.”. Again, if you have a problem with that, just add me to the “ignore” list in your account settings because I’m not changing a thing. It’s that easy. And you know exactly what you can do with the insult snowflake. Part of my actual YEAR OLD playlist that Mr. Delicate has a problem with. @ocnblu Seek help for that paranoia.
-
Back to “What are you listening to?” To say I’ve waiting on this one for a while would be a vast understatement.
-
What was that about relevant topics and escalation? Sadly typical and typically pathetic.
-
This is just a damn good jam!
-
-
Shhhhn! Be careful. That’s not very “random” of you.
-
Oh stop it drama queen. There was a conservation about the subject you hate prior to your interjection. What qualifies as a “random thought” anyway? I see the same things talked about on this thread all the time and no one has had a problem with it (unless is politics which gets shut down for obvious reasons). Want to solve YOUR problem about seeing anything to do with dfelts preferred subject matter? Add him to your “ignore” list and POOOF! Problem solved and you can stop acting like a baby about it. Again if his were about anything else you didn’t hate, you wouldn’t have a problem with it.
-
When you “like” a post about escalating (and not doing it) one day and later post the above on another day. I am willing to bet that you wouldn’t have a problem with it if this were always about Diesels or basically anything else that doesn’t have the word “electric” in it. Get the F over it.

A sharp looking wagon with the wrong badge on the front.
-
You know what is the one use a van doesn’t have anymore? As a mode of transportation for the majority of families out there. Please reference those sagging minivan sales brought up earlier. This has commercial intentions, plain and simple. -
Well you know that’s not a very reliable source lol. It’s insane to think that this will have families in mind when they price it. There are better and cheaper options when it comes to minivans.
-
Why are you pushing the family narrative? This is clearly for the commercial market even though they will probably have a few on the lot as “family haulers” but that would seem to be a very much niche market given the soft sales of family minivans to begin with.
-
Wonder if I can get financing on one of those. Traffic jams and being “green” will never be the same again!

Lincoln News: Pair of EVs Spells Death For Continental
surreal1272 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Lincoln
That’s certainly a possibility but I’d like to point out that Lincoln sold 1490 in the last QUARTER (not even a 500 per month average). I personally think they will cut it loose but they could always end up going the China route like you said. I just don’t see the sales for it justifying it though. The CT6, btw, outsold the Conti, for the last quarter and for the year his far. If Lincoln can send them from China then there is no reason for Cadillac to not continue to do so. Of course, we are talking about logic here, something that has been absent from the Cadillac front office as of late. -
Lincoln News: Pair of EVs Spells Death For Continental
surreal1272 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Lincoln
Would it still be worth it though since sales have been so lackluster over the last year or so? -
No escalation. Someone decided the first two posts were funny via the emoji button and I made a statement to that fact. I won’t apologize for someone else’s constant trolling.

That’s pretty much every car these days with a few exceptions. All new tech now comes with old tech hassles seven years from then.
