    After seeing its sales slide during the first quarter of this year, Tesla needed to come up with an incentive to help boost sales of the sagging Model-X and Model-S. In that effort, Tesla is returning the offer of free SuperCharging on all Model-S and Model-X sold. The plan was last offered in 2018 and then ended after Elon Musk called the plan unsustainable. Telsa has been making changes to their lineup and pricing almost monthly since the beginning of 2019, so this could be a short term offer or it could stick around longer. Tesla buyers who already purchased their car are out of luck though, the offer only extends to new purchases. View full article

    Uh... The Tacoma, Colorado, Canyon, Ranger, Frontier have a different take on that. The 5 of them have sold 275,515 as of the half year report. It's not as big as the big trucks, no, but it's still nothing to sneeze at.

    There are people who are limited by the size of vehicle they can have or don't want a truck that large. They can be pretty cumbersome to roll around a city. That's where a mid-size truck would come in.

    Acadia just got an update for the exterior. The interior is mostly carryover except for the shifter.

    I wish it wasn't taking so long to get my rental on the market. come on, come on!

    Traverse and Enclave are it.

    There is definitely a need for a midsize RAM pickup along the lines of a Colorado or Ranger. They should probably start with the Gladiator frame as a base.

    Well he bought a 200k mile Audi and a wrecked Tesla. I would imagine that would be less money than one new Tesla P85D. The rest of it was custom machining and computer hacking, which it sounds like he did a lot on his own.

    If size matters, they should have included the new Jetta in there and then it would have won over the Corolla.

    The Civic I understand, but the Corolla I just can't get behind. It's slow, it doesn't handles particularly well, and the interior is cheap cheap cheap. If you're autocrossing your compact commuter, I can see how the rear suspension might be an issue.... but if you're just buying it as a commuter car, the Mazda 3 is the better choice just for the interior alone.

    The Ram Classic could live on indefinitely as long as it make business sense says FCA CEO Michael Manley. At an investors meeting, Manley suggested that it might even get an update. Ram recently introduced a new Warlock package on the 1500 Classic, indicating their willingness to invest in the aging platform. Ram currently doesn't have a mid-size offering in its stable, and without one on the horizon, the Ram 1500 Classic fills the niche of a lower priced truck. The base Tradesman model rings up at $29,340 and can be configured all the way up to a Big Horn with a 5.7 liter Hemi V8 at $46,240. That contrasts with the new Ram 1500 which starts at $35,135. One thing keeping the Classic around has done is allowed the RAM to creep ahead of the Chevrolet Silverado in the truck sales race, moving to the number two spot in market share for this class of truck.

    I can't figure out why? Lack of Advertising maybe?

    ^^^ That's a really well done conversion!
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I don't even know how that is possible. The Mazda 3 interior is leagues better, the engine is smoother, the drive more interesting....

    There was an episode of the Sherlock series Elementary that did that. Someone hacked self-driving car to kill people. It was a Chrysler 300c.

    Versa has a nicer interior than Kicks. Versa is cheaper than Rogue by a significant amount

    No, I doubt he's getting a Pontiac.

    Porsche dealerships are usually paired with some other premium brand.

    It's really hard to gauge what the market is doing when the domestics only report every 3 months. I'm tempted to move our sales reporting to quarterly also.

    The Nissan Versa once held the dubious title of being the cheapest new car you could buy. Now, with the all new 2020 Nissan Versa, Nissan hopes to bring the sub-compact a little bit more premium and with that the Versa goes up in price. Now coming only in a sedan (The Kicks has replaced the Versa Note), the Versa wears one of the more stylish exteriors for the sub-compact class. The engine is a next generation 1.6 liter 4-cylinder, with an increase in horsepower to 122. Fuel economy is rated at 32 city / 40 highway / 35 combined. Those of you who prefer to row your own gears instead of letting Nissan's CVT do it are limited to buying the base model Versa S, starting at $14,730. Above that, all models come with the CVT. Model/Engine/Transmission Versa S 1.6 5MT $14,730 USD Versa S 1.6 Xtronic $16,400 USD Versa SV 1.6 Xtronic $17,640 USD Versa SR 1.6 Xtronic $18,240 USD Destination and Handling $895. These prices are roughly a $2,000 increase over the current car. But you do get a lot more for your money. Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on the SV and SR. Available equipment includes heated front seats, 60/40-split fold-down rear seat, and Automatic Climate Control, bigger wheels, and intelligent cruise control. The 2020 Nissan Versa is available at dealerships soon. View full article

    Acura will be debuting a Type-S concept at Monterey Car Week, one of the top gatherings for automotive enthusiasts. The concept previews the return of the Type-S in the Acura lineup. Type S has been the top of the performance line for Acura. The prior Type-S cars were the 2001 - 2003 3.2CL Type S, 2002 - 2003 3.2TL Type S, 2002 - 2006 RSX Type-S, 2007 - 2008 TL Type-S.
