Chevrolet Traverse

-

 Chevrolet Traverse is an eight seat mid-size crossover SUV that generally made its debut in 2008. It was introduced as a successor to both Chevrolet’s previous mid-size SUV hit models namely the Trail Blazer and the Uplander and has generated really impressive sales in a period of just 7 years, exceeding 600,421 units (in the US alone). The name, however, was originally used for a concept car that made its debut at the 2003 North American International Auto Show.
But, the concept gave away, as during the same year Chevrolet introduced its latest model year of the Equinox. The design of the Traverse is inspired by the Chevrolet Malibu and the famous Sequel Concept and has a unique sheet of metal that is way different than many mid-sized crossovers introduced by the company. Regardless, within a short period of time, the vehicle has earned quite a reputation for its performance, reliability, and durability and has undergone significant changes over the years.
In fact, in 2010 it became one of the very few Chevrolet vehicles to have been updated twice in the same year. No such changes have been made to the vehicle since other than a few improvements in features. However, the 2015 model year definitely proves to be the most different from the batch and proves to be one of the most popular family vehicles on the road today. It offers plenty of practicality and comfort for the entire family.
Not to mention, it also remains one of Chevrolet’s most spacious and passenger friendly vehicles on the market that offers a front center side airbag (a safety feature not many cars offer). It is available in numerous trims and configurations including LS AWD for a price tag of $32,995, 1LT for $33,795, 1LT AWD for $35,795, 2LT for $36,295, 2LT AWD for $38,295, LTZ for $41,935, and LTZ AWD for $43,935. However, the main focus of this review would be on the base LS model and its performance, exterior, interior, infotainment and safety features.

The  Aptera 2 Series  (formerly the Aptera Typ-1) was a high-efficiency passenger  three-wheeled automobile  under development by  Aptera Motors . The California-based company opened a pre-ordering process for residents of California, but stopped taking deposits in July 2011, and on August 12, 2011, Aptera announced it would return all deposits from customers who had signed up to buy an Aptera 2e electric car or the planned 2h hybrid, [3]  before the company finally folded in December 2011. The first variant of the 2 Series slated for production was the Aptera 2e (formerly Typ-1e), a  battery electric vehicle . [4]  Aptera claimed the 2e would accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in less than 10 seconds, and be capable of reaching a top speed of over 85 mph (137 km/h).

https://ift.tt/3iMzCd8 Spite Of…Everything, Lordstown Endurance Electric Pickup Said to Be On Track

Lordstown Motors appears to be shifting chairs on the deck of the Titanic. The electric truck startup kept a scheduled media event one day after CEO Steve Burns and chief financial officer Julio Rodriguez resigned after an investigation by the company’s board. The virtual meeting with the Automotive Press Association out of Detroit started with a statement by Angela Strand, the lead independent director who has been appointed executive chairman. Lordstown is committed to transparency and plans to start limited production in late September, with no disruptions in day-to-day operations envisioned, Strand says. Then president Rich Schmidt and chief engineer Darren Post proceeded with an upbeat presentation about the virtues of the Lordstown Endurance electric pickup, which the company says is sold out through 2022. And they showed the plant with robots and conveyor belts in full motion as the former General Motors factory continues its retooling in preparation for the fall launch. Who
