Unless you delete the heated seats, there's nothing to change in the interior. The center tablet is exactly that, a connected tablet. It's no different than a cellular iPad that happens to also have climate controls. It's a multimedia station with music apps and Google maps. I guess you...

Are they updating the Hummer EV and going even heavier? The current one is already 9,200lbs.

We pay these. It’s called road tax instead of gas tax. To punitive levels. It’s been covered ad nauseam on this forum. No one is getting a free ride.

Yep. I don’t count myself in that category either.

If it's one vehicle, yes. I remember the Escalade that died and wouldn't start going down the highway with 50 miles on the odometer that everyone freaked out about. Is it a problem? Of course. If it's a one off and fixed, there's not really a whole lot to say. Vehicles are insanely...

That meets the statistical averages across the country. The offer more affordable options than Ford and Dodge though, so I see how they landed on the average sale price.

There’s definitely a couple of arguments on what killed the car and I do find it to be a multi pronged attack. The thing is that people are still buying cars and a 41mpg CAFE average when making them taller can qualify under the 26mpg standard is pretty telling. I don’t think premium cars do...

I just want to clarify having a bunch of EVs or not is not a show of success in my opinion. Toyota more recently and Kia/Hyundai have continued to make more affordable options while almost every other manufacturer has focused on trucks and SUVs. Toyota’s focus on CAFE seems to be to make a...

Cars are clean now, we can stop the emissions push is not a phrase that will come out. It’s going to be stuck with the same brain dead approach as corporate profits, especially as more cars hit the road. It’s not our call and I don’t think at this point voting would change it. Cars are...

Keep screwing the local worker and that’s what you’ll get. Time to exploit them in other areas and hope they don’t complain. I’m not going to pretend to know what their struggles are, but I’m union and most don’t understand mine. I’m paid well because of it, but I don’t have any real standard...

It’s the standard procedure for emissions and CAFE. We were going to get here eventually. There’s more cars than ever on the road and our air is cleaner than it ever has in time since it was implemented. I don’t like being told what to do either, but it’s working. It’s not an argument any of...

I don’t think either are the solution, but they are both an answer to something. If overall emissions are the enemy, rampant consumerism and consumption are the bigger issue. The best any of us can do is what makes the most financial sense and save us time. For us it was and EV and home...

It is. He was really considering the Golf R as his other choice.

I’ve lost one transmission and one engine in 20+ years of driving. It’s really not common in my experience either. Both were around 110k miles and older vehicles I bought. I don’t know how the previous owners maintained them.

It does look cool and there’s no denying it looks like a Hummer. I don’t understand how they got to the weight of 9.2k lbs though. I need to look into the technical information. I know the battery is huge, but I would have thought if there was somewhere to save weight to extend range they...
