    Case in point. According to mfg site, Ford Focus has same interior volume as Sonic, yet the Focus isn't on that list. http://www.gmfleet.com/chevrolet/sonic-small-car/features-specs/dimensions.html http://m.ford.com/content/MobileFord/cars/focus/specifications.html

    Hard to take that list seriously when the Chevy Sonic and Dodge Challenger are both on it.

    Saving money? As in the 15k ( or there abouts ) one saves by buying a comparable sized ICE car vs a Bolt... I can live that type of savings if it means filling up once or twice a month, and an oil change that many mfg's or dealers include at no cost and take about 15min every 5k + miles

    Got that right. Such hardship. Such intrusion...

    I'll be testing out a Gen 2 3.5L EcoBoost 10spd combo F-150 early in the New Year! With all positives I've read, I'm curious to try one out.

    Chevy Bolt EV battery could lose 40% of its capacity over 8 years While a 10-percent range decrease won't be much to worry about, forty percent of 238 miles is 95.2, which would leave just 143 miles in a 2017 Bolt in 2025. Any eight-year-old car will have problems compared to a new model, but there are two big questions here. First, since the Bolt EV is the one that GM wants to promote to a much wider audience than the typical EV buyer – we have to wonder if this sort of range decrease will be acceptable to the masses. Second, is the phrasing "as much as 40%" something that the engineers predict will happen or is that just the lawyers covering the company's collective behind? * someone may have posted this, but I'm not about to go through and search to verify

    If Vancouver and/or The Gorge wasn't mentioned as tour dates ( which was this week ) I said to my wife " I'm flying to Montreal to see these guys ". I saw the " Axl Rose Experience " a couple years ago here. They were good. But it took 2 guitarists to emulate Slash. And Axl showed up. Obviously his vocal range wasn't like it was when I saw them at the Tacoma Dome in '91. But damn it was so bloody awesome hearing those songs live again! I have yet to hear who is touring with them.

    I'm confused. You make the comment that " its clearly stated...." But now are saying its how one interprets it?

    This car, with that propulsion system and at that price, just doesn't make sense to me.

    Today’s full-size, light-duty pickup trucks not only can perform an impressive amount of work, they can do so with surprising ease and comfort. Indeed, these do-it-all workhorses are indispensable to individuals and businesses alike for their myriad abilities on and off the pavement. Yet one rises above the others due to refinement and innovations that push the art of the full-size pickup farther than its competition: the Ford F-150. The F-150 is simply the most fully realized full-size pickup truck on the market, and it’s this broad bandwidth—from base-level work truck to luxury four-by-four to factory-warrantied desert racer—that raises the Ford above its peers and to a spot on our inaugural 10Best Trucks and SUVs roster.

    Today the sun is shining and its -4 celsius. ( and thats nothing in the grand scheme of things.) EV battery range plummets here in the Great White North.

    I can think of one reason. Poor battery technology. Quite frankly, its still not adequate for me to even consider for " daily " use in a practical sized and priced vehicle - 3 out of 5 days a week, my vehicle is my mobile office.

    Axl, Duff, Dizzy and my favourite, Slash... Sept 1/17 in Vancouver...2 days later at The Gorge!!

    I'm just reporting it Drew. FCA must have some concern though... " We are not receiving any EcoDiesel 2017s apparently until this is sorted out. Another dealer can attest, but no EcoDiesels have arrived and there is a note in our internal system regarding this. " That is from an poster at Allpar who is an employee at for an FCA Dealership

    December 1, 2016 — A Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel lawsuit has been filed in California alleging the EcoDiesel trucks and SUVs contain concealed emissions "defeat devices" to hide nitrogen oxide emissions levels 10 times above legal limits. The proposed class-action lawsuit targets about 150,000 model year 2014-2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and 2014-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel vehicles that allegedly cost $4,700 more than normal because of "clean" emissions technology. In addition to charges against Fiat Chrysler (FCA US), the EcoDiesel lawsuit claims parts manufacturer Bosch is in cahoots with Chrysler, in violation of the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act. Plaintiff Jose Chavez says he purchased a new 2016 Ram 1500 with an emissions defeat device that would cost him out-of-pocket money, future attempted repairs and a diminished resale value. Believing the EcoDiesel was a "clean diesel" truck, the plaintiff claims Chrysler should have admitted the emissions controls intentionally manipulate nitrogen oxide emissions. http://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2016/ram-1500-jeep-grand-cherokee-ecodiesel-lawsuit.shtml https://www.allpar.com/forums/threads/ecodiesel-lawsuit-what-does-this-mean.166397/

    I've noticed since FCA was busted for fudging Sales Totals, theyve been sucking it up... This company is circling the drain.
