"Ran when parked" So some of you know I'm driving my FiL's Cruze from time to time. I took it on a trip to Virginia today and it's not a bad car for long distance cruising. It's the base LS with a 1.8 liter, but it still cruised at 75 - 85mph and returned 34 mpg

The C8 is supposed to be SuperCruise capable.

I think it looks good for a dedicated off-roader.

Ahead of the 2019 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Chevrolet gave us a preview of the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. After the refresh, the Colorado will show greater differentiation from trim to trim. All Colorados will feature embossed Chevrolet tailgates instead of the rear bowtie badge. The bowtie up front will be revised. The WT, LT, and Z71 will get updated center bars, lower fascias, and front skid plates for 2021. The WT and LT get gold bowties while the Z71 gets a black one. The ZR2 off-road variant gets a new look (shown above), and will be the only Colorado to get a lettered front fasica. The ZR2 continues to get Multimatic DSSV Position senstitive dampers, standard front and rear locking differentials, 2-inch suspension lift, 3.5 inch wider track, off-road rocker protection, cast iron control arms, autotrac transfer case, multiple skid plates, and now standard red tow hooks. Over 520,000 Colorado pickups have been built to date. The Colorado will continue to be built at GM's Wentzville Plant and the 2021 will go on sale midway through next year. View full article

The Kia Soul and the Kia Forte have CVTs. C-HR and Corolla use CVTs. And @ccap41, it's the Malibu that got the CVT.

I don't see a lot of them around my parts. I see this as Toyota's answer to a Kia Soul... a small CUV with no AWD and a lack of cargo room. But the Kia Soul has some interesting powertrains.

Well I had to hide most of this thread. Ya'll knock it off.

If it makes a profit, why cede that segment to the Japanese?

yes. The X and S are related and the 3 and Y are related. Given the current state of the market, I don't know why they didn't come out with the Y first and then the 3. They probably would have sold more of them.

I think I said something similar a while ago. If Ford can't make a profit on 200,000 Fusions a year, the problem isn't the Fusion.

Exactly.

I don't know... combining usually hides things. I bet the Y is combined with the 3 when it comes out.

Cool. I didn't know they did that with the backwards compatibility.
