Chevy Bolt vs. Volt | Specs, Design, Price, and More | High Quality Fuel Injection Nozzle

ABS is great. I liked how BMW had Stability control in the past…no sliding, and some allowed. You could select sport and get just enough slide from the back or spin to make it fun, but it still kicked in if things went too far.

Witness the proliferation of (EDIT: 4-wheel) anti-lock braking systems in the USA, from bespoke German bits only available in 1985.5 Lincoln Continentals — sorry 1986 Corvette, you lost by 6 months — to standard equipment on GM vehicles by the mid-90s. GM made a big deal about in-house ABS production, translating into ABS as standard equipment (until it was not). If you remember every mid-90s Pontiac with “ABS” emblazoned on their center caps, you know it was a big deal.

We recently removed my mother’s driving license. She has driven over 65 years without an at fault accident. As the Doctor explained to her “every driver is a good driver until the second that they are not”. These mandatory safety devices help to delay or prevent that split second.

Oh no you say, 100 hp is not safe! Isn’t that hypocritical? Just like I would bet that most who are against government mandated safety devices also drive a pick-up or an SUV or have one for their family or wish to buy one because they believe that they are ‘safer’. Also hypocritical. I might even say engaging in ‘class warfare’ against those who cannot afford such a vehicle, the fuel, or insurance or have parking for such a large vehicle.

What is it? GMC’s new entrant in the all-important, money-printing full-size pickup truck category. Also, aside from a few key differentiators, it’s a 2019 Chevy Silverado.Powertrain: 6.2-liter V-8; 10-speed automatic transmission; RWD or 4WD / 5.3-liter V-8; 8-speed automatic transmission (SLT trim)Weight: 4,531 to 5,015 pounds, depending on configurationMax towing: 12,100 poundsFuel Economy (EPA): 15 mpg city / 20 mpg highway; 17 mpg combined (6.2-liter V-8)Price: Starting at $46,700—upper-limit testers ran to around $67,000, according to GMC reps

6. The XE boasts IMU-supported cornering ABS and lean-angle detecting traction control. ABS and TC are described in the same nomenclature as the power modes—Rain, Road, Sport, and Off-Road—instead of the usual numerical levels that we commonly see. Off-Road ABS allows for aggressive front braking in the dirt, letting you slide the rear as you’d like. The Off-Road TC is fascinating as it teaches riders to understand how the motor breaks traction, yet it doesn’t eliminate spin either—it merely subdues it. If you give it more gas mid-slide, it will let go a bit more, but never become unleashed. To hang it out, you’ll want to go into Off-Road Pro.

Same goes for lane assist and blind spot monitoring. Most of these systems require you to look away from the road to see the alert, so what good is that? Blind spot monitoring especially, since it usually requires you to look at the mirror. So if you’re already looking at the mirror to see the little light, why not just use the damn mirror in the first place?

As an owner of the Canyon and active on the Foruma this was not a feature many really expressed much need for.

Harley-Davidson said Tuesday it’s recalling about 238,300 motorcycles, worldwide, for a clutch problem — the fourth recall for a clutch issue in five years.

17. A new, easy to read, modernized dash adorns the 2019 Triumph Scrambler XE. The second-generation TFT display is easy to read and navigate, thanks to the joystick controls on the left. A little bit of poking around will get you going in the right direction. There are three layouts for the dash with various quantities of information displayed. They can be viewed in low- or high-contrast mode. With an accessory Bluetooth module, riders will be able to control their GoPro cameras or pair their phone to the dash and use Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions.

You’ll recall the B&B certainty that the Prius would be an unreliable nightmare that wouldn’t make it to 80k miles due to all that new fangled tech.
