Hummer Global Debut

[UncleDave]

For a vehicle still 2 years away..

Looks like it starts at 105/ 110 and the cheaper versions are further out

I'm more interested in the Rivian anyway...

Is the "Extreme Off Road Package" a long extension cord? j/k

 

[JeffKeryk]

Will they sell any? And if they do, what's the margin?
They should have made a 1/2 ton PU and/or SUV.

I just don't get it.

I have my down payment for the new Corvair...

It will be interesting to see what the markup is going to be.

Im still waiting on the 59K C8 vette.

Im still waiting on the 59K C8 vette.

Quite a few guys got that base C8 price. All they had to do is a special order with their dealer, which many did.

The price of that EV Hummer is crazy IMO.

Can you verify that? I haven't found one person that was able to get a dealer to order it for them.

Why would a dealer use their already low allotment on a base unit when they can sell all they get of the higher end units?

A sales guy I know at the GMC dealer here says they've got pre-order deposits on every model. Someone likes them.

Depends on the dealer of course. I was on CorvetteForums back when the C8 was released, and saw quite a few guys say they did a special order for the base C8. Some might have added a couple low cost options, but price was still close to $60K.

Kerbeck Corvette is the big dog in Corvette sales.

11,500 lb-ft torque. Big numbers.

 

[OVERKILL]

11,500 lb-ft torque. Big numbers.

Yeah, those torque figures are completely insane.

 

[AZjeff]

Yeah, those torque figures are completely insane.

Was told they're doing some math with the motor outputs and gear reductions to get the silly numbers.

Get a refund man, this is you

Saw a C8 in downtown Los Gatos. It was parked and we just got a glimpse.
I almost crashed my car. That thing is perfect. Supercar at Corvette prices.
This car puts a lotta supercars to shame.

I'm sorry but it's that good.

 

[OVERKILL]

That makes more sense. So using torque multiplication like giving result of engine torque run through the trans 1st gear ratio x the axle ratio eh?

 

[UncleDave]

Yeah, those torque figures are completely insane.

Yeah well see what the wheel dyno shows.....

 

[OVERKILL]

Yep, I'm interested to see. 0-60 looks about the same as a Tesla Model Y Performance and Mustang Mach-E GT.

Some good real-world video.
