They've also used 6.2L to make 640 HP. It's called 'tuning'. Didn't I mention the 2.0L engine in a full-size pick-up only a few posts earlier??

Looks like a Wagon-Aire.

BS. Everything in production was engineered to that spec, pre-production. Can't have the latter without the former. smk : "Imagine GM telling engineers that the C9 Corvette has to use a sub 2-liter engine but have equal or better performance to the C8. They would just shut down the whole program." smk was speaking hypothetically, and I gave past evidence that disproves his future hypothesis. 'Production' is irrelevant to the discussion, which was about the ability.

No- the need's not there for production as of yet; V8s worked easier and remain fully compliant. But they've successfully done the engineering years ago,and there's still more on the table.

THEY’VE ALREADY DONE IT.

Ford built a 800+ HP 4-cylinder for competition 40 years ago. Chevy has a pedestrian 2.0T developing 310 HP right now, and took an Ecotec 2.0L 4 to 246 MPH 15 years ago. That's faster than a MB GT R with a TT V8 does now. You don't think Chevrolet could take a 2.0L 4 and make it produce 600-700 HP in a Corvette with a snap of their fingers?

Stylistically, these are a pair of 'mehs'; not much of anything going on.

String of failures so far from daimler...

Model 3 is without question; minimalist. The question remains; is it 'luxury' tho? - - - - - Who knows wassis?

Prolly not quote as tight, but since both trucks require ‘loose surface’ (IE; dirt), I imagine there’s no difference either way.

It’s ironic- how many times have we said/read ‘why can’t we get the good vehicles here’ yet some markets get our leftovers for DECADES.

Ford Brazil built the '65 Ford Galaxie until 1984. This is a '74 :

It's certainly not "heavy" - it's not a subaru.

The current gen GM trucks seems to sit perfectly level, whereas earlier gens were commonly jacked.

Apparently Tesla is under a 500,000 vehicle NHTSA investigation for sudden acceleration. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-could-face-nhtsa-probe-173658343.html

This thought struck me today~ The proponents/religious zealots of autonomous driving cars frequently claim that 'the vast majority of driver's aren't very skilled, and this would help reduce accidents'. There seems to be a huge cross-over where these same proponents also fully support electric vehicles (not yet or neccessarily in the same vehicle). Many of the EVs (and near future EVs) go 0-60 around 3.0 secs. ?

A $40K, $53K, $70K and $125K pickup in no way, shape or form compete with one another.

Chevy, Buick & GMC can add as many as they think prudent. Cadillac needs to remain 'bookended' at the XT4.

Please no XT3 or XT4. I'm begging here.

^ The 2 pics were taken from the exact same distance & angle. While the gauge pod is the same height, the rest of the Denali dash rises higher than the bottom of the windshield, and it's doesn't on the AT4. IMO, that just makes it appear more claustrophobic and has to cut a bit into the outward vision of shorter drivers.

GM should offer a ‘Street Boss’ 2-in lowered package.

I'm 5'8". Stood next to a 2020 2500HD on the dealer lot last night- bed sides are chin-height on me. Can only reach 50% into the depth of the bed- but I can touch the bed floor on my '04 2500HD. If I buy a new truck, even a 1500, I'm going to have to seriously look into a lowering kit. I use my bed all the time.
