  1. In another thread, @ocnblu suggested that charge points would go unused. Every day this week at work the two lots that I park in that have EV charge points have had every single charge point occupied when I arrived at work with some other EVs and PHEVs parked nearby waiting. Clearly, we already need more charge points.
  2. I think GMC's is better because it is more useful. Technically, the Ridgeline is in this class too since its tailgate opens two ways
  3. The next vehicle has to be an SUV. Easier to get his elderly parents in and out of now that we're driving them around so much. But even still, I'm never allowed a wagon.
  4. I'm not allowed to buy a wagon sadly ?
  5. Cost usually. Going with the Powerstroke over the 6.2 liter is a $10k upgrade. I can't find the config with the V10.
  6. Thank you for all the time you've put in here over the years. We all appreciate it.
  7. Yes to rumors, but nothing announced yet.
  8. Good for toughness and more compact packaging.
  9. I'm sure that's true... I, of course, have never driven a turbo-4 and compared it to a V6 in a similarly sized vehicle in a back to back fashion. never ever have I.
  10. You only get it if you have a heavy foot and... thus... rev the piss out of it. Gotta get that boost going to get any torque, otherwise, you're just driving a wimpy little 4-cylinder.
  11. Outside of the luxury classes, but if you wanted to include those, then the additions I can think of are ATS, CTS, CT6 and XTS.
  12. I still much rather have a N/A V6 than a turbo-4
  13. The GS is the only GM midsize left with a V6. There aren't many sedans left outside of the luxury classes with a 6 cylinder. Regal GS, 300, Charger, Impala, Avalon, Maxima, Legacy, Taurus, Fusion Sport.
  14. As does Toyota, and Ford, and Chrysler. They're all good engines.
  15. It doesn't have a 2-speed transfer case, no. I certainly don't see any of the engines having enough low-end torque to do that unless he was flooring it at the time AND it was a 3.5 Ecoboost. Furthermore, I don't think 4x4 models have "2wd mode". Only a few SUVs have that and I don't think Explorer is one of them. Explorer is AWD all the time. Even still, if there was a 2wd mode, it would be the front wheels that had power at the time.
  16. I didn't think we'd see over 7 liters in a production engine again ever.
  17. There is still room for a naturally aspirated 3.6... maybe not as a GS, but still.
  18. Both of you take it to private chat
  19. Back to the GS, one thing where I was really disappointed in was the interior. There is nothing bad about it... it's just ..... dull. 300, Charger, ATS, CTS, CT6.... yep
  20. Higher than CC was I assume. It is a beautiful car in person. I saw a couple in the wild when I was in France over the summer.
  21. Three for our green friend @ocnblu It's easy being green
  22. Only VW could compete with (and beat, they have a coupe with the Beetle) that diversity
  23. probably added too much weight in a way that threw the balance off on the car.
