The Sonata and Optima are pushing into EPA full-size territory. The Passat and Accord are fairly close to that also.

The size difference between the Cruze and Malibu is minimal. A Jetta is about the same for roominess and one can buy a very nicely equipped Jetta for the same price as a base Malibu.

Another Tron remake?

To everyone who poopooed on the new Cherokee when it was unveiled.... Jeep is laughing all the way to the bank. At 15,007 units for April, the Cherokee outsold the Sportage and Sorento combined, the Forrester (April Sales - 11,547), and the Santa Fe (April Sales - 8,997). It is within spitting distance of the new Rogue (April - 15,066). Next stop, Rav-4 (April Sales - 18,834) Shame Dodge can't catch a similar break with the Dart.- 16 replies

Wow! Look at those Lambdas! 19,911 Lambda vehicles in a single month! Traverse has a base price of over $30k and goes up quickly on the other too..... that is a LOT of revenue there. Cadillac still moving 1,000 more SRXes a month than BMW moves X3s. 241 ELRs have sold to date, SS which is half the price, twice the power, and pushes rather than pulls, only managed 283. Avalanche and Escalade EXT inventories are obviously extinguished. Verano, oldest vehicle in the Buick lineup, leveling off a bit. Impala doing very well, but I'd want GM to start breaking out Impala Limited numbers from the main retail number. No fair burying that in there.- 13 replies

One wonders if GM wasn't allowed to sell their Opel Combo here (at Buick dealerships?!) because it is Fiat Doblò based and that is due to be the basis for the coming Ram Promaster City.
The Volt Uber driver that picked me up a few weeks ago is a retired U of Pitt professor. There are free charging stations on Pitt campus that he sits in until an Uber fare pops up. He drives university students around town, with no fuel cost to him, while making side money. He made $50 driving me out to the airport and will have only used gasoline on the return part of the trip... we were still in EV mode when he dropped me off. As Uber service continues to grow in Pittsburgh, he could be making $75 an hour just driving around town with almost zero fuel costs. He sits in his car and reads while waiting for a fare. He also has a Ram Crewcab. Sounds like he's thinking okay to me....
