GM has been a victim of its own innovative ideas for decades. A lot of times, when they put something out there that seems like a good idea (to GM, in its insular world) at the time, it falls flat. This next big push on the horizon will end with the same result.

It is way too expensive for what you get... the bed is too small to be useful, which makes it pointless as a truck.

He's not old. BUT... someone should put something in his mouth. ? KIDDING, don't trigger on me! I don't care about the Euro brands in the new conglomerate, although I am not anti-Peugeot, per se. They used to have a decent diesel car back in the day here in America. Since my blood is red, I want to see Jeep, Ram, Chrysler and Dodge continue on and on and on. If Dodge/Ram had a smaller truck, I would have looked at it intensely before making a recent decision.

We got our first Venue in. Base model... in silver... with wheel covers... kinda blah. Want to see one in uplevel trim with alloys before I write it off.

2020 Buick Encore GX data has been added to the GM online order guide, if anyone wants to view it.

Mercedez Benz News G-Class to get Electric Model

I can agree with the first sentence: "Its (sic) not a good engine." It is a GREAT engine. Electric motors are crappy in cars. Like totally.- 17 replies

Mercedez Benz News G-Class to get Electric Model
ocnblu replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
The VW TDi is a great engine. Politics and media pressure will kill it long before it dies on its own. It is a 400k mile engine. If there were no demand, why would VW have a certified used program for TDi powered vehicles? There must be demand/money in it.- 17 replies

Mercedez Benz News G-Class to get Electric Model
ocnblu replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Meh. Politics is killing diesel, same as politics is propping up EV. Except even with thievery, people are by and large not taking the EV bait. Except on the loony left coast. On my way home this afternoon, I was behind a silver Jetta Sportwagen TDi... even with all that pressure from Volkswagen, ppl are holding onto their VW diesels.- 17 replies

Misaligned belt moldings and general crappy workmanship catch my eye in a negative way (Tesla hallmarks).

Decisions made by Kill Anus as Diamler CEO have no bearing on my global world. When I hear that half the EVs in the US are registered in California, it does not surprise me one little bit. 1.9% of the market is nothing.- 17 replies

Happy 57th, Drew! Hopefully you had a good day so far!

Seems that way. But how can we be sure?

And with EV resale values in the BASEMENT, that "should" be easy, if ppl really wanted an EV, that is. I don't think the "used EV" market is that hot though... fact is, demand is weak, or resale values would be higher. Can't give 'em away... even a few months old and hella depreciated.
