  1. Ready for every model's MSRP to double? C-class EV : $82,000 ??
  2. I wonder if that's not precisely how Daimler plans to force people into their EVs, by eroding the IC's.
  3. The tremendous purchase cost will never be made up over the mandated finite life of a school bus. There is no cost savings.
  4. Its much more about corporate ability / efficiency than it is about plant physical capacity. We can’t talk about Rivian’s production rate like it’s GM or [any other] established OEM.
  5. $4.2 M being 70% of 17 buses equates to them each costing $247,000!! For what normally costs $65,000-75,000. Unsustainable. A quarter million dollar tin box that only sees 8000 miles per year. Insanity.
  6. Truck buyers are a LOT more knowledgeable, demanding, discerning & loyal than disposable / rental class sedan buyers, most of whom are still motivated by outdated reliability reports from 15 years ago. And no- the 'platform' (frame, actually) is not the problem.
  7. ^ So they each do 1 thing.
  8. "It's never enough." No wonder unions and Big Gov't get along so well.
  9. I openly cheer anachronisms. I could only hope this picture was taken in like 1980 (I have no idea but probably in the 1940s).
  10. Which is which in the above pics (A or C)? Neither looks to be 'above' the other...
  11. Not going to get $10K for just the engine option. Its not a DuraMax...
  12. I read a bunch of UAW worker comments elsewhere online. In addition to the usual list of; job guarantees, safety in the workplace (not there yet after 80 years of union efforts???????????), and healthcare [the national average for worker contribution to HC is 28%, GM proposed UAW workers paying 15%] ...the VAST majority of comments solely mentioned how much Mary Barra made and how much GM made. This is always the root of the OEM / UAW head butting.
  13. I don't think the 6.2 is all that deficient (460 vs 510); people aren't racing these off-road stock and many mod them anyway. Does the highest HP in every niche segment outsell all others? This is a dedicated off-road package for GM buyers. And that’s a good thing.
  14. 100% true.
  15. I have Montgomery listed, 2001 Sunset, but no dealership pic yet. This Safari sold for $36K this year- came from Montgomery: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-pontiac-grand-safari-2/
  16. I don't have an answer to that one, but I suspect that yes; it was uncommon relative to today.
  17. zoe e-sport is a concept car, the regular one looks like this :
