For DFelt-sized people they need to offer extended roof options.. Yeah, I'm 6'0" and found I can't easily reach into the bed of a typical 2wd full size truck today..they sit very high even in 2wd form.
-
Yeah, I was looking on my phone, in a larger photo the use becomes clear. I don't think the Denali dash is any higher than the ATS--the gauge pod appears the same height, it's just the height extends further across on the Denali. I prefer high mounted vents, rather than ones down low. My 5'3" sister may not like it though...
-
Not sure what is to the left of the screen in the Denali. I see a vertical row of buttons ( gears I think), but what is the slot ringed in bright trim? Looks like a giant HDMI socket.
-
I like the Denali interior better, because of the brown dash, the higher center vents, and the integrated screen.
-
I think that is an inherent flaw with transverse FWD platforms...just can't turn the front wheels as tightly as a north-south engine layout..
-
Congrats... my sister has a 2015 Trax and has been happy with it overall..has over 20k now after driving to Florida a couple weeks ago. The floor filled with water during heavy rain driving on the way down there, had to spend a few days at a dealer last week...not sure what the problem was, but water was coming in somewhere through the HVAC system. She said the dealer blamed it on squirrels..
-
Sharp..like the interior. Clean exterior, wears the big grille well... I like the lighting details.
-
I googled pics to confirm, but I remembered the green '77 a neighbor had when I was a kid..the '77 had taller taillights that didn't wrap the corners, '78-79 had wider, shorter taillights that wrapped the corners.. China is getting electric Buick Velite 7 based on the Bolt.. I wonder if the US will get it eventually..looks to be around the size of the Encore GX...

wowza... meanwhile another sunny 50 degree day here in Cleveland...this is a very strange January so far...

Sweet Electra...that's a '77--one year only with those rear side marker lights, on the '78-79 the taillights wrapped around the corner caps.
-
For some reason I find 1967 Olds 88s fascinating...Delta and Delmont
-
The new Yukon is nice...huge grille, but tasteful. I like the Denali-exclusive dash design.
-
Nice weather today... saw a clean dark gray w/ gray top '90-92 Cadillac Brougham. Also saw the rustiest Ford Explorer I've ever seen..a brown '98-01 5dr. Big chunks out of the lower doors, like 5-6 inches missing and crusty edges..same w/ the rear quarter, with rust from the wheel arch on the left side extending back to the fuel door. Rear hatch bottom rusty... no license plate.
-
Ah yeah, Chevy has shown the new Tahoe and Suburban, but GMC has been quiet..
-
Saw that..was just comparing the 2.0 versions.
-
As far as domestic competition, the Cadillac XT4 has a 2.0 4 with 237hp, and a 9-spd auto, and the Lincoln Corsair 2.0 is 250hp w/ an 8-spd auto. Lexus definitely comes up short.

$42k for a 2.0 4cyl, FWD and CVT....beyond mediocre..that's the kind of hardware I'd expect in a $20k econobox....

Bigger is Better as GM Revives Hummer by GMC Electric Trucks
Robert Hall replied to G. David Felt's topic in Industry News
I know I'm super-opinionated.. the Hummer just never remotely appealed to me, I'm a Jeep guy. (but I do like GM full size SUVs). It will be interesting to see how the EV revival goes..we live in interesting times... -
Windy, rainy and up to 68 degrees this afternoon...crazy for Cleveland in January. Went out for tacos this afternoon and spotted a clean dark gray mid 90s Buick Park Avenue that appeared rust free, also saw a clean silver blue '91-93 Caprice sedan.

Yes, it will be a low volume novelty. Rivian seems like they have a better plan..- 25 replies

GM News: General Motors Plans A Revival of Hummer
Robert Hall replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
It's going to be interesting to see what the off-road capable EV SUV scene looks like in a few years..we have new players like Rivian and Bollinger coming, and with hybrid and EV Jeeps coming...I wonder if Land Rover plans to do hybrid and EV versions of the Defender.. -

The E39 is about the perfect midsize BMW 4dr. Love the M versions in the light and the dark blues.... the E38 7 series is great for a full size--looks trim and clean compared to today's bloated 7 series.... those 80s 6 series coupes were beautiful...I also love the original 8 series--- big 2dr hardtop w/ popup headlights...avaiable in a V12 w/ a 6spd...excess, yes, but a wonderful 80s-90s sort of excess... -

The only current BMW I like is the M2... compact, manual, 6 cyl. The last M3 I really liked was the E46 in the oughts... I loved my E36 I had back in the 90s-early 00s...on a winding Colorado mountain road, it was very satisfying..wouldn't mind finding a well-maintained E36 or E46 M3 if I had more garage space... -

I like old BMWs when they were still all about the driving...manuals, inline 6s, no BS...
