Good to see! I’m starting to see more and more of them around.

Hard to believe they are growing on me……

Hopefully GM doing more QA testing since they botched the rollout.

I hope so….this one ends up like a nasty stain stuck on one’s seat…..

Just like you can't buy software anymore, they want you to subscribe to your vehicle, plus an extra $10 a month to subscribe to your heated seats.

Yep!

Some sort of heavy SUV……

Dated yes, but you have to ride in one to understand why folks buy them. Much like the Ford Flex. They are a comfy ride to get you where you want to go. Used to enjoy the rides in my Aunt’s and a good buddy going places in them. It’s too bad they couldn’t do more with these. At least to me, they will be missed…..

Seen some Blazer EVs floating around the area today…..more than I expected!

Looks like more leases for the future, as most folks can barely afford the current prices now. Think this is what the auto companies want, a consistent customer…..

Beyond the beef, it’s quite the looker now, and the turbo should really be able to move this nicely..

🤔 This makes no sense to me as to why the European version gets the extra horsepower and not the US where you find far more higher horsepower autos than in Europe.

I just do not understand VWs logic on this.

Drivers there have the Autobahn…..

Having a Nox- I hated the look at first. But the more I look at it, it is growing more on me. Rugged look gives some cred against the Bronco Sport. The 1.5 will do for now, but they should add another engine sooner than later. Hybrid would be wise too. CVT requires care, or they don’t last. Just ask Nissan. Hoping all models are getting the roof racks, especially with the more rugged look. I really do like the inside of the Nox though….

I don't think it will fly as a 2-door, but stretch it to a 4-door and make it about the size of the Renegade or Compass and this will print money and put VinFast on the map.

Agreed. And keep it around 20k as well…..

Power Rangers

Think they simply had to many, and too much costs for upkeep on the Teslas. Also curious to see how many are rented as well. I imagine there is a little bit of fear there too.

I think they would like a larger variety, preferably ones with less cost of upkeep. Renting these are the best way folks can see how they work. Slowly but surely there will be more…..

I wish I could say well about the last Mali, but I haven’t been a fan of it since its last refresh. The 1.5 in this sucks- my Equinox with the same 1.5 doesn’t sound like it has a struggle sometimes to get up to speed. Worse off- they barely changed anything. At minimum, they could have passed the savings on to the consumer. Could have kept t around longer with some discounts….

With car getting even more expensive, they are going to wish they had more options than the Trax to offer to very cash strapped customers……….

Really wish I had drag raced. Kind of a life regret. 

 

This Camaro, raced by Taylor Chomiski just does it for me in the race car department. 

 

Drag racing would have been cool…..:-) 

Well, I’m thinking KIA might not even bother to fix the theft issue, as te damage has been done. And even newer Kias are disappearing now around here…..

Is anyone else having loading issue? My IPad struggles hard on this site……….

Welcome back, glad to see you stop in and post.

Yes, per the story.

General Motors' plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico

Thanks. 🙂 Been very busy with life, and raising my son as a widow. Going to try to peek in more often-miss ya guys.

Still wonder if they could build that many- starting with the usual  part shortages……

Seems the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Another Tesla promise falls to the side.

Running into money issues? Money is starting to get a bit tight over there…..

Nice to hear from you, Dave.

You'd expect things to change?  Nope.  Most of the quirks of the long-term members are fairly entrenched, which I view as mostly a good thing.

Well, you never know. 🙂  I’m just glad folks are still here.

Especially with all the crazy in the world right now…….

Are they just building those at RA? I assume they would move more of these than trucks anyways….

I saw this recently ...

Look, it creates a shadow image!

It's on a late model Ford Fusion.

It doesn't make a lot of sense.  Being a single mom doesn't mean they are "pole dance" material.  They can be slam dunking Oreos as they watch Oprah.

Is it that they're "easier," or so the person thinks, because they need to find that replacement and, sometimes, it's a matter of urgency?  Is it that someone else is paying for their support?  Or is it that he flunked a DNA test and is on the hook for the support payments?

I'm not sure what it means.  And, also, to put this dumb sticker on a car, what a moron.

True. Crazy sticker….

Figured I’d pop back in…..see things have changed.

Well, some things haven’t…lol

Hope everyone is doing well!

Miss anything crazy? 🙂
