    Some people really close to getting banned in this thread. Clean it up folks.

    I"m sure it is coming.

    I like that house.

    There seems to be a lot of wiggle room in what counts as it's own model and it generally changes depending on what makes the manufacturer look best. When it is convenient, the models are all lumped together (3-series and 4-series sales numbers). When it is convenient, they separate them out. BMW saying "We have 96 different models... as long as you count the 320, 335, etc all separately.

    I saw these in LA and they look really darn close to production ready. Both of them are "tweeners" in exterior size. They don't feel as big as an F-150, but not as small as a Ranger either. The SUV looks about Explorer sized. Their third vehicle should be a smaller crossover about the size of the old Equinox.

    The old Sebring is still built there as a Volga

    Leave it to the Germans to overcomplicate matters.

    The RLX need an interior overhaul... material quality and fit is well below the segment average. The ILX feels too close to Civic. The TLX is average at best.

    A trim line is not a model. The E300 and E400 are not separate models.

    Rivian looks to possibly beat Tesla at their own game primarily because Elon's ego isn't involved. They're also starting in the hottest two segments, so if their tech proves to be worthy, they should get a better start than Tesla.

    I dunno... I'm sure the BMW will at least whelm me.

    I'm pretty underwhelmed.

    Top of the car range can be Escala to go with the top of the SUV range Escalade.

    If the product is good enough, they will come. But it isn't happening anyway.

    Honestly, I have no issue with them keeping the platform as long as they improve on the interior materials a bit. The car itself is super solid and isn't in dire need of a change.

    GM routinely licenses out its technology. They had camera mirrors, though not full-time real-time streaming, as far back as 2010. That is how the 2nd gen Equinox got a rearview camera if one didn't select NAV. The image popped up in the mirror. Cars are not new... you must still drive a Curved Dash because if electric cars haven't changed in 100 years, neither have gasoline powered cars.

    Their whole economy is cooling fast.

    There are Chevy dealers that get special treatment based on the number of Corvettes they sell... or the number of Silverados they sell. A Corvette sub-brand "boutique"* inside of certain dealers would work. That's how Genesis launched. *I hate that word in regards to buying cars.

    There is a company out there building "new" old Mustangs. The body shells are available. The rest is just EV parts put in the shell. Aside from company funding, I see no technical reason this car couldn't be built.

    It's not anywhere near that simple since much student debt is privately held. The real threat is corporate debt. 9 trillion of it. Companies that are cash-flowing today could become black holes of bankruptcy in just a few months time. The US auto manufacturers, for once, are ahead of the game. FCA paid off most of its debt, GM is going through their major restructuring to lower costs. Ford is doing the same. If/when a global recession hits in the near term, the auto manufacturers do not want to need to be bailed out again.

    Corvette can be a sub-brand inside Chevy.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Multiple lines of Corvette was there as a concept from the beginning. It was nearly its own brand of cars inside the Chevy brand.

    That was heated washer fluid. It was in the DTS and Lucern as an option. It was faulty and got recalled to be deactivated.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Eh, even then, by the 90s if it was on a Cadillac it was on one model only. I seem to remember a big stink being made about the final STS that it brought back the autotronic eye.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Probably.
