    So, no tornadoes then?

    Glad to read this experiment won't be attached to a bread and butter brand. "Hummer" does fit as an EV nom de plume.

    I thought I heard you say "fat chick", I was like GET HER OUT OF THERE!

    That's because everyone has the same goal: fuel economy in spite of EVERYTHING ELSE. Nothing is about STYLE or GRACE anymore. There is one way to design a lozenge if it is to function as a lozenge.

    I6 engines are great too

    Even if that becomes true on paper... it will never happen at the same time. And V8 noise is nirvana to a car enthusiast. Anything less is just... less.

    All I can see is a Ford Focus greenhouse, and the continued dumbing down of a once razor-sharp brand focus... into the uber-bland. That giant toomuh on the trunk lid squishing down the taillights is just plain ugly.

    Very well-named, since that's what they'll be doing, like... constantly. And slooooowly.

    Torque off idle is a diesel engine hallmark. And with an automatic, it should be a real beast out there in the hinterlands.

    Well I have been a VW fan until recent developments, but I cannot get into this.

    Caramel Apple Coffee Cake. Scratch-made.

    It is a yardstick. Time-honored.

    Does have a sort of marine quality about it, but the Japanese love whaling, so it's cultural I guess. No comparison to the old, intentionally hideous version. I like it. Whoa.

    15% of overall RAV4 sales first half of the year.

    LOL

    Ding! This is another reason why CAFE requirements are a waste of engineering time, talent and money. Fuel economy demands on the manufacturers should come from the market... not the government.

    Too much comedy involved in being the guy who buys a 2.7t Silverado. However, it could be a Goldilocks situation in the midsizers. Colorado/Canyon buyers have proven they accept a DOHC V6 (a hurdle in the beginning for me and a lot of the internet), so a turbo 4 would less likely be seen as a joke than it is in the big trucks. I still wish GM would treat their light duty diesels as utilitarian and economical by offering them in all cab and trim configurations, more like Ram does. Instead, you are forced to pay bigger bucks in the Colorado for a crew cab, or a ZR2 extended cab, to get the diesel engine. It's the same over with the Silverado... uplevel trim packages, etc. are a requirement.

    Oh, OK.

    You are 100% right. I would not recommend the 2.5 in a regular cab Silverado, no way, no how.
  21. ocnblu
    Wishful thinking I guess.
  22. ocnblu
    There is no Colorado/Canyon standard cab.

    Had to stop over here and say... I love it, and the color. Can't wait to see the Z71 trim, and the rest of the enhancements. If you look real close at the rear end shot, you can see, mostly obscured in the dust, another emblem on the bottom right corner... is that to denote the 2.7t engine? Sly preview, Chevy.

    Yup, one of these passionate Italian jobs:

    No worries there, Camino wouldn't be caught dead in an electric car.
