    handled well because the one he saw wasn't in a ditch or crashed into another vehicle?

    EV have brakes also, so you still have to do those. And who spends 10 minutes at a gas station? If there is a line, maybe...normally, pull up, pay at the pump, fill up, pull out..less than 5 min (every two weeks in my case).

    I also seem to recall reading in CA years ago that the senior Buicks didn't get the new body in '48 like Cadillac and Olds did, but it was delayed to '49 as it had to be restyled, the original design rejected...but who knows, it was over 70 years ago..

    According to Wikipedia the '48 style Special was carried over 'till mid year '49 when the redesigned body came out...i seem to recall reading that in a Collectible Automobile article also.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Special

    'Interesting..so it looks like the junior models (Special?) still had the old body for '49 while the Super had the new body...

    Probably..that like a '42-48 style? I think the '50 was cool looking w/ the grille eating the bumper...

    Had to make an airport run this afternoon, saw a gray-blue new BMW 8 series coupe parked in the valet line, coated w/ salt and winter ick. Looks like a 15+ Mustang that's been made heavier and uglified. Also saw in my neighborhood an AWD Chevy Astro, lifted a bit with large tires..dark red and in very good shape.

    humpy lumpy!

    As far as fleets, postal and parcel delivery seems like the use case where EVs could work the best. Lots of stop and go low speed daily use.
  10. Robert Hall
    You aren't a fleet driver, though...not driving 25k-50k miles a year?

    I'd be happy w/ the regular 392 Hemi engine and 6 speed manual..485 hp is enough.

    The problem is GM invents stuff but does nothing with it.... they came up with that skateboard platform and didn't do anything with it due to their incompetent leadership..

    Yeah.. I'm only 6'0", but my head rubs the headliner in a Mustang and Camaro, and I can't see out of a Camaro w/o a periscope. I've sat in Challengers several times at the dealer and at shows, and I fit in fine even w/ the sunroof (which I'd want).

    In a world of mediocre FWD 4cyl CUVs and ugly, bloated trucks, a hefty, retro stylish 2dr coupe w/ available V8 and manual is very appealing to some... I really want one. An R/T Scat Pack w/ wide body in F8 green (or Octane Red) would be great.
  15. Robert Hall
    The idea of a 4cyl Corvette is pretty horrific...
  16. Robert Hall
    If its not in production, it's not real...means nothing, can't compare to production products..
  17. Robert Hall
    Beyond ludicrous mode...
  18. Robert Hall
    In a production vehicle? I think not...

    Tesla has proven a performance EV can sell, so it's doable...
  20. Robert Hall
    Note that it's the '66 they started from. And they had a 292 Y-block V8. Heres an '82... Similarly, Argentina built the '69 style Fairlane through '73, and the '69 style Fairlane through '81. With a 6 and 292 Y-block.

    Certainly seems like an interesting company, interesting potential product.. kind of a skateboard w/ configurable bodywork variations. I wonder how real they are or how much is smoke and mirrors presentation...
  22. Robert Hall
    It sounds like it's all using braking on one side, not moving the rear wheels like Quadrasteer did.. Probably not as tight as the Rivian which I think steers the front wheels opposite directions to turn tightly.

    That's a Cadillac interior in the pic... Chevys had round gauges..and a Biscayne didn't have all the shiny trim.
  25. Robert Hall
    Ya, VSS-F, same as the Encore GX. I'd think they would do an XT3 on that, and there's room for an XT2 on the Trax/Encore platform also... Since we are in a CUV-driven market, GM should add as many as they can while the market is hot...
