Thanks Drew, I've checked a handful of multi-page threads and it looks like the patch worked.

For me a compact electric car would not be our road trip family vehicle regardless of range, so the 125 mile range of the compliance cars suits me well for a commuter. I would only have to charge it twice a week most weeks, The Bolt's cargo area is a bigger issue for me than the 125 mile range limit on other EV's. The Ioniq EV has a cargo area that we could probably accept as our only family vehicle for all but maybe one road trip a year. The Bolt, no way.

I think the e-Golf is just a compliance car for VW. With rebates here I can get one for ~24K CAD, but I have to wait over six months from order date if I could find a dealer with any allocation left for a 2018 model. Unless I want to pick up this abandoned order and pay the 3K for the premium paint! Similar story for the Focus Electric.

Toyota, Honda, and VW have already been using their own global modular platforms for compact and midsize vehicles with very well received product for a few years now, so it makes sense that others are doing the same..

Seems to be the same so far. It might be something to do with the advertisements? I turned on an ad blocker to see if that made a difference and it works ok with it on.

Am I the only one getting a lot of hanging at "Loading" when selecting page 2/Last Page etc on forum topics? Experienced on a few different browsers and systems.

I like it quite a bit, not a fan of newer large Mercedes sedans with the 4 huge vents in the center stack.

Well they sold almost 1.9 million cars globally last year, USA was only about 15 percent of that, I don't think they are too worried compared to many other automakers. Since 2008 they have grown sales from 1 million to where they are now. They can afford some niche sellers, they are not Cadillac selling 300k globally, almost all in China and the USA.

By 2025, save $30+ per employee per hour, move all production for the NA market to Mexico on new flexible platforms like MQB, TNGA..

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-13/u-s-is-said-to-demand-america-specific-auto-content-in-nafta Brett House, deputy chief economist at Bank of Nova Scotia in Toronto, said the rules of origin proposal would be a “potentially Pyrrhic victory” for Trump because automakers would just pay the U.S.’s 2.5 percent tariff to import cars into the country rather than deal with the complicated set of rules for Nafta. If it were to come into force, “what you would likely see is a lot of production being shifted either offshore or to Mexico rather than creating more jobs in the United States,” House said. “You wouldn’t see a big increase in U.S. employment and production.” ... Charles Chesbrough, a senior economist at Cox Automotive, called the U.S. rules-of-origin proposals an opening salvo that could change before an agreement is reached. “If they do hold, they would be tough to meet, especially with all the high-tech components currently made in Asia, and would certainly require a reshuffling of the current supply base,” Chesbrough said. “The worst situation would be withdrawing from Nafta altogether -- something no one wants.”

Pricey, but, atleast from my understanding the upper trim level Tucson comes with ventilated front seats along with a heated steering wheel, both things I would really like along with Android Auto in my next ride. Anyways in this class I would get something with more cargo space than a Tucson or Equinox. "Cargo space still trails competitors with only 31 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 61.9 cubic feet when folded. The CR-V offers 35.2 and 70.9 cubic feet respectively. " The current CRV has 39 and 76, I think it or maybe the RAV4 are tops in this regard and the Equinox and Tucson at the bottom.
