Looks good..I like the name...another Colorado town.

I like that mesh grille, but it needs the bowtie, IMO. Black w/ the blue insert maybe.

I like the interior...looks like a BMW interior. But isn't this on a platform shared w/ Mini (Countryman?). It's FWD/AWD/transverse engine IIRC...

It was blue hot hatch time this morning...heading home from a quick trip to Dunkin Donuts (first time out of the house since Tuesday--been an insane work week), I saw a dark blue Fiesta ST, a bright blue Focus RS, and a dark blue Golf R....

Cool..Chevy's answer to the Ranger Raptor, and it's going to beat the Ranger Raptor to market.

Yeah, the future isn't necessarily going to be easy.

First mover advantage...Tesla has set the bar and set the standards for the terminology, so followers are conforming. Standards bodies/organizations are behind the curve...

It's too bad about Genesis..they misjudged the market and their product mix. Their cars sound quite good from what I've read, esp. the new G70. The problem is the luxury market has shifted to CUVs and SUVs in a big way...

I didn't see anything about the range being loaded vs unloaded, though this line implies some load--The new model will have an electric range of 110 miles depending on route and driver. A bit vague. Looks like an Isuzu cab, didn't realize GM and Isuzu were still making trucks of this sort. Sounds interesting..a former coworker of mine works for Lightning Systems, but he does their website.

Someone in my neighborhood got a new '19 Ram 1500...black 4dr...Laramie I think...really sharp. I think it's the first I've seen of the 19s...really looks good in person, IMO...

I'm old enough to remember when the 3 series was the best seller, and only available as a 2dr. Times have changed...

Not enough profit in sub-$30k cars, I guess... by ditching cars, their ATP number goes up.

Looks very normal, no EV 'otherness' to the design, which will be a good thing for mainstreaming EVs.

If these were European sales figures, that would make sense, as it seems August is always vacation month for Europeans.

Well, they are waiting for the 2020 GLE and GLS redesigns, so...

I haven't tried Roku, been happy with Amazon--first had the Firestick and now the Fire TV box. I may switch to Apple TV, though...since that would go w/ my other Apple hardware.

I've tried YouTube TV, but I had to use Chromecast for it. YouTube being a Google property, doesn't work on the Amazon platform as they are competitors.

I've been happy since cutting the cord when I moved to Ohio. Though I do miss having a lot of NFL...Direct TV Now streaming isn't available here. Without cable, I'm using streaming services--Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Brit Box, Acorn, MHz, HBO over my Kindle Fire TV. Added up, the monthly fees are still cheaper than Cox cable or ATT cable would be here.

Neat...I like the FC trucks, I've seen a few at classic car shows in Ohio and Az over the last decade..

It's a sign...you need something with a 111 inch wheelbase...;)

Whilst out and about this afternoon, saw a beautiful gold-green '71 Pontiac Catalina convertible..tan interior, Rally II wheels, pretty much spotless. Also saw 2 of the last gen Thunderbird convertibles, top down..one bright red w/ black interior, one maroon w/ tan interior. Saw a white 45th anniversary edition Camaro convertible in white w/ gray and orange stripes, top down. Also saw a current style Impala in a dark green, didn't realize Chevy has/had a dark green currently/recently.

Sounds like the former Dos Equis beer ad guy in the 'The Most Interesting Man in the World' ads. Actor Johnathan Goldsmith.

I took a drive east up the Lake Erie coast towards the PA line, visiting a couple wineries and a couple of my favorite beaches..beautiful and sunny, but too hot (85). There was a VW cruise-in show in Geneva-on-the-Lake, saw dozens of vintage Beetles, buses, modern GTIs, etc in stock and restomod forms....maybe my favorite car of the day, though was a very clean gray w/ no vinyl top '71 Buick Electra 225 4dr ht. It needed whitewalls and some interior work, but appeared rust free. Another favorite was a bright red w/ matching steel wheels '72 Chevy Bel Air 4dr sedan..very clean, appeared rust free also. Saw a white '64 Ford Fairlane 2dr ht parked in a driveway, a dark red '68 Buick GS 2dr ht, a matte black '55 Ford Country Sedan wagon, a gray and white '55 Chevy 210 2dr sedan, a '63 Nova 2dr street machine in white with '70s style blue color panels and stripes, several '70s Corvettes in the Skittles colors of the period, a silver Ferrari California T w/ the top down, a rough blue '73 Caddy Sedan de Ville for sale for $1900. Memorable for the contrast between paint and bodywork was a a bright red Chevy Silverado crew cab from around 2005 that had shiny, clean paint yet was so rusty the left front fender looked someone had been chewing around the wheelwell opening.. All in all a mellow start to the holiday weekend, drove down I-90 heading home w/ a beautiful sunset, sunroof open, blasting Pink Floyd's 'The Division Bell'.. happy happy joy joy...

Random thought...looking at that '59 Caddy, I wish I had mad phat Photoshop skillz....imagine a 'what if' '59 Escalade..i.e. a '59 Chevy Suburban w/ a front end like a '59 Caddy and lots of chrome..

They definitely don't have the 'get lost in an empty parking lot' styling anymore. I do kind of like the profile, but not some of the overwrought front and rear detailing. I saw a white one w/ black roof and red leather interior yesterday...very striking, could never have imagined a Camry w/ a red interior. Quite a change from the usual anonymous appliance appearance.
