Sorry for the lack of news today guys, I came back from the LA Auto Show with a nasty cold. I'll have my first impressions from the show up this week.

With the CT4, 5, and 6. They're larger than their German counterparts.

The 6 has this same Turbo-4 in it as an option on the top model. You wouldn't like it though, too firm of a ride.

*for the brand. I think the Seltos looks better.

I think the GC could pull it off.

The first list is standard. The second list is optional once you climb into higher trims. And yes, the trucks already come with a bunch of it.

I'm sure it has something to do with Chinese displacement tax or something. That said, the Ford 1.0 Ecoboost in the Fiesta?Focus? one of them... wasn't bad at all... it should have been the standard engine instead of a buy up engine. I think the CVT is a bigger killer than the 3-cylinder. At least a 9-speed auto is available.

My dad has a plain 1994 F-150 that came with two tone paint. Red with a black stripe.

It works on the F-150 King Ranch too.

I love tastefully done two-tone paint.

Prius Prime.... I think more like transformers... Optimus Prime. Kia missed out on a branding strategy there.

Talk about the cars, not each other.

Los Angeles - Chevrolet thinks that you don't want a Cruze anymore and instead you'll buy an SUV. Enter Chevy's answer for that, the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer starts under $20,000 and for those taking notes, that's less than the current Chevrolet Trax even though the Trailblazer is the larger vehicle, fitting between the Trax and Equinox in size. Themed after the larger Blazer, the Trailblazer looks wider in person than its specs suggest. Powertrains match the Buick Encore GX on which this shares a platform. Powered by either a 1.2L turbo or 1.3L turbo 3-cylinder engine, the Trailblazer will deliver up to 155 horsepower. Both engines are mated with a standard Continuously Variable Transmission with selectable stop/start capability. A nine-speed automatic transmission is also available on Trailblazers equipped with the 1.3L engine and all-wheel drive. The AWD is selectable so that drivers can choose between traction or fuel economy as conditions dictate. The Trailblazer features 40/60 split folding second row seats, which enables the vehicle to accommodate objects up to 8.5 feet long. Overall storage capacity is rated up to 54.4cubic feet10 with the second row folded. Trailblazer is equipped with a comprehensive list of safety technology: Forward Collision Alert Automatic Emergency Braking Front Pedestrian Braking IntelliBeam Headlamps (Auto High Beam Assist) Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning Rear Vision Camera Teen Driver Rear Seat Reminder3 OnStar4 Additional optional active safety and driver assistance features include: Adaptive Cruise Control - Camera Rear Park Assist Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert Rear Cross Traffic Alert HD Rear Vision Camera Trailblazer ACTIV is equipped with unique tires and shock tuning. The ACTIV dampers are tuned to enhance vehicle performance and ride comfort when traveling on gravel roads. The Hankook Sport Terrain 17-inch tires feature an aggressive shoulder design and an all-season tread pattern. The front fascia on Trailblazer ACTIV has been revised with the lower section designed for improved ground clearance. Additional exterior differentiation includes two-tone roof, standard roof rails and trapezoid-shaped exhaust tips. Trailblazer joins the Trax and Equinox in showrooms in Spring of 2020.
