600 Mile, Single Charge, Proterra EV Buses!
I'm curious how much a normal bus costs. I'm sure the savings in diesel will certainly help offset that, but there is likely a huge start up cost to install enough chargers to get all of the buses charged up for the morning rush.

upgrade
In that case, it's because there really were 3 nearly identical copies of that article as DFelt and I tried to convert it from a forum post into an article.

600 Mile, Single Charge, Proterra EV Buses!
I do apologize guys, I had to kill your previous comments in order to fix the thread. This was my screwup, not the software. @dfelt has been trained in how to use the article system now, so future articles of his shouldn't go this bad.

upgrade
What's that? Dfelt wanted his article in the article system rather than a forum post. So he had to recreate it.

Quick Drive: 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL
uConnect, while one of the older systems on the market, is actually one of the best because everything "just works" and it is easy to use.

Quick Drive: 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL
I've had the 200 with the 2.4 and 9 speed, drove it from Baltimore to Boston. It was tolerable.

Quick Drive: 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL
Oh absolutely would I pick a Chrysler 200 (even as rough as the Chrysler 2.4 is, it is no worse than the Altima), but if you need space, the only thing that beats the Altima at this price for interior cubic feet is the Passat. Also not a bad choice, but not for everyone either.

Quick Drive: 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL
Eh, configured the way @William Maley got it for review, these are the king of the $199 a month leases and they're big cars for the segment. That's why they sell.

Decent, cheap, efficient, long distance car and that's about that. Get it up to speed on the highway and just leave it there.

Industry News: Renault Sees An End To Diesels In Their Vehicles
unlike some people, I'm not against electrification or hybridization. I don't like to waste energy and if I can recapture energy when I'm braking to use it for acceleration, than I'm all for it. If I can power my commute with wind turbines or solar, I'm all for it. I like silence in my cars and I like lots of torque... both specialties of electric power, but in the end, I'm truly agnostic as to what I use for fuel as long as it has those qualities. My limitation at the moment is the need for AWD.... there are so few hybrid AWD vehicles right now, and even fewer that are affordable, that it basically takes electrification off the table for me. But if GM put the CT6 PHEV powertrain in a new Chevy Avalanche 4x4, I'd be first in line at Chevy with my deposit.

GM News: GM Recalling 4.3 Million Vehicles for Airbag Software Problem
This is just about as easy a recall as it gets.... the only easier recalls I've seen are when they have to put an extra sticker on the coolant reservoir to tell you not to drink the anti-freeze.
