Didn't paid much attention to Chinese cars, I am not familiar with many of the brands, but seems like the EV adoption rate is not that high in these 3 Northeast provinces I just visited . None of the vehicles used in our tour group is EV , and saw mostly ICE, except for the electric bikes which are all over the place.

Interesting that the Chinese use Western letters and numbers on their license plates.

lc is really the only car in the past decade from lexus that i think lexus decided to take a bold move and made something fun and look good. it carried some memory of the lfa, it didn't deviate too much from the concept, and it carries the wonderful v8. i was following one this morning and it looks so good.

really too bad they didn't "complete" the car by making the lc-f. they shouldn't have done the lc500h in the beginning.

Probably should have had a picture of David Dunbar Buick with it.................




Actually, Andrew, my next vehicle, for several reasons, instead of another Buick Encore GX, is just as likely to be a new Chevy Trailblazer. It shares a lot with the Encore GX....with some differences.

Depends on one's definition of monstrous. I have two very different six cylinders that each made roughly that much torque when they were stock, and currently make dramatically more....in vehicles that weigh 1,500 lbs less, so the effects are even more pronounced than the numbers would suggest.
