On the news today, GM Lake Orion plant shutdown after employee fight leaves 1 dead; suspect arrested

Actually, if I read the article correctly, it was employees of a cleaning company contracted to clean the facility that were fighting each other. It looks like it might not of been a regular GM employee. Either way, it is sad that a life was lost over a disagreement. :crying:

Not gonna lie, I really like it. But for the price they’re asking for it…it’s going to be a big hell no from me.
Gets better.

Every GMC now sold has to have a $1500 adder on to it. you have to pay upfront for 3 years of onstar. Since not enough people were actually subscribing, it is now mandatory.

other than being over priced they are now even more over priced.
I liked Ford option best. The basics are free. If you want more you can pay for that too. Ford Pass

You CANNOT use the words "Chevy/GMC and the word "nice" in the same sentence....
You will be banned and damned for all eternity by true automobile lovers world wide.
GM should be relegated to making clone copies of old Yugo replacement floor pans and rear bumpers.
I know I know! It goes against everything I've always thought about Chevy but I have this issue when people hang shiny things in front of me. LOL

I attribute people buying GM products having a sever mental lapse in judgement, or possibly having an anal probe by aliens resulting in becoming totally NUTZ !!!
There's just no other excuse !!!

Ladies, and gentlemen, we have a tie for the ugliest front grill. Cast your votes for the Canyon or the Tundra.

I like the winch setup - will take a look at it, esp. since my lightning reservation is in a black hole somewhere.

I'm surprised they didn't do more to set it apart from the Colorado. I'm really looking forward to a US version of the next gen Ranger soon. I guess Ford doesn't have one ready for the press to see like GM is does. Or, have I missed something?
gm typically gets firsts dibs on media and fluff / fake awards. afterall, government motors is in with the "in" crowd. apparently jeep is as well. Ford may not have the usa version of the next ranger out for media yet. fine by me, the 5g is still basically new.

saw a new Tundra at the local toyota dealership this morning. (they are trying to sell a jon boat too, so every morning they tow the jon boat and motor to the front of the lot with a giant pickup truck to showcase both.)

in the Towing sections We have had many discussions on front area sq footage and how it affects towing, mpg, etc. My camper has a smaller front area than the tundra grill.(see user picture) Holy smokes That looks like it is solid from ground to windshield Bet that drops the Tundras MPG even lower.

Edit: Fine the camper joke is a bit much, but the hood is taller than the jon boat and trailer.

it is distinctive. Just like the Pontiac Aztec.

I'm going to guess the price their going to ask for the next gen Ford Ranger is going to be shocking as well.

Possibly. But I fully expect the Ranger Raptor to be priced higher than any Ranger we’ve seen thus far. Probably around 60k+. That will also get a hell no from me. But as far as the rest of the 6G Rangers go, I figure they’ll be a few thousand over what their current comparable trim levels are.

I like the new Colorado/Canyon. This will force Ford to bring it’s A-game with the Ranger and presumably make the 2.7 option a must for the new Ranger.
