GM Takes Fight To Tesla With $30k, 200-Mile Bolt in 2017

I watched too many ZZ Top videos



Indistinguishable, amiright?

Sadly no.

The different concepts looked kinda fun. Though in retrospect I like them less than I did as a young teen in '98/'99.

Unscrew the hood (bonnet  ) and you can pretend you're in American Graffiti.

It's a full foot taller than British cars so I never lose it in car parks, plus it has American luxuries like more more cup holders than passengers, cruise control and heated seats. Unfortunately it also boasts the turning circle of an aircraft carrier rendering it entirely unsuitable to British multi-storey car parks 

Lol on the turning radius comment, but a pretty cool car and retro looks like you say.

Except it's GM, so it'll probably be garbage, and dangerous to the driver.

they make better cars than the Germans and better trucks than Wannabe Germans of Daimler-Chrysler.
Next car will be a Cadillac.  I'm done with outdated tech at inflated price.

I own a PT Cruiser which I adore and I bought because it looks so 50s American 

I've heard a couple people say precisely the same thing about Minis, they look 50s British.

Unfortunately, most Mini drivers here are unconscionable assholes.  Lots of Martinus types.

Hey!

I have a Jaguar.

There hasn't been a Daimler-Chrysler since 2007.  Chrysler is owned by Fiat since 2009.

Under some government policy, most public car parks have spaces put aside for electric vehicles to park and charge for free. I've only ever seen one used.

My company decided to do the same in the parking lot, with free electricity. The parking lot is now full of nissan leafs.

Progress.


edit:
Both of those GMs are butt ugly cars.

Well that was supposed to be the appeal but then they failed in final execution.

The Chevy HHR is actually a lot more 50s looking than the PT Cruiser, but not in a good way, unfortunately.

The last 35 or so years, whenever GM takes a risk styling-wise, it ends badly.   OTOH, when they play it safe, the results end up "meh" at best.  Nothing in their current lineup really appeals to me as far as styling goes.

They try, they really do.

I wanted to like the Camaro redesign when it was reintroduced a couple years ago;  it's mean, it's got heft.  But yet, it can't help but scream woo-doggies white trash.  Same goes for the Dodge Challenger.  Yeah, I went there, Ed.  It's a Cootermobile.

Only the Ford Mustang manages to avoid it, and even that depends on the package.

Ford seems to dimly remember that pony cars are supposed to be relatively small but pack powerful engines.  GM has completely forgotten that, and I'm not sure Chrysler ever understood the concept in the first place.

This thread reminds me of an experiment.  Somebody borrowed a Lamborghini, and asked young women who were complete strangers and appeared to be single to get on the car in Hong Kong.  7 out of 8 attempts were successful, and some of the women even agreed to go to the male driver's home.

When he repeated the same experiment with a Toyota, the success rate became 0 out of 8. 

That's why guys want good looking cars, I guess.
