Usually when I ask this, the most common answer I get is "GMCs are the higher end/luxury versions of Chevy SUVs and pickups".

This doesn't make much sense to me though, since Chevy SUVs already have mid-premium equivalents with Buick, and luxury equivalents with Cadillac.

As for the pickups, GMCs are essentially rebadged Chevy pickups with a higher end interior package.

Why does GM spend resources on maintaining those models for this separate brand, and not just focus on GMC being strictly for their commercial grade trucks?

Just curious about everyone's thoughts on this. I feel there were a many cars in '70s, and '80s that were well regarded now, but not when they were new.

Hey all, I think about this anytime a classic car drives by and leaves that heavenly smell that just lights up my brain with contentment, nostalgia, and calm. It takes me back to when I was a kid a didn't have to worry about anything.

What is the cause for the smell? Is it just because theres no cat? I assume they're not all running 0E or leaded fuel or anything like that.

Is there a specific cause or set of chemicals that give off that distinct smell? And can I make a candle out of it?

A cool vintage Porsche factory tour. With groovy 70s music and lamb chops.

I also found it interesting that Porsche was very conscious of the feel of their manual transmissions even back then 52 years ago. I wonder what all that transmission development feels like all the way here in 2025 with the 992.

I wonder if there is some geyser who was 18 some time during this era and has retired not too long ago when the company was owned by VAG. I wonder what contrasts would he point out.

Anyways enjoy: https://youtu.be/dhqdptVysjE

I have family that got into a 2019 Subaru Legacy, the final year of the sixth generation, because they disliked how the seventh generation didn’t have physical climate controls and introduced a more convoluted infotainment system. There was also the argument that by 2019 Subaru had already worked out the bugs with that generation from the manufacturing side, and at least in their case, the car has been trouble free since purchase.

I have never driven a car with a DCT. But I have read about them, and read they're like an automated manual. And have read that they operate more similarly to a manual trans than an auto. But everything is happening...automatically.

I have read they can be jerky, and can wear out faster by creeping in traffic slowly, which automatics don't have issues with.

For those who have driven/owned them, what do they drive like? Does it feel mostly like you're driving an automatic, or does it have a different feel? And do they have true advantages vs a good torque converter automatic like a ZF8?

Subaru Volvo has to be up there, I personally went that route (Impreza -> V60) and know many other Volvo owners who did the same. Typically coming from the Impreza or Outback.

This got me curious as to what others think the most common transition is and why. Is it regional, just a fad, etc?

I’m an avid hater of Chrysler products. However, the ME 412, 1st Gen Viper, the AirFlow (which should’ve gone into production) all stood out to me.

Some drivers start out loving speed and sharp handling, while others prefer comfort and luxury from the beginning. But over time, priorities can shift—maybe the thrill of sporty driving fades, and features like a smooth ride, quiet cabin, or high-end interior become more appealing.

Have your preferences changed over the years? Did you go from sport to soft, or maybe the other way around? What pushed that change—age, lifestyle, commuting, or just evolving taste?

Just a few years ago, the North American market had five brands to choose from in the compact commercial van segment… Chevrolet with their City Express, Mercedes-Benz and their Metris, RAMs Promaster city, Nissan with the NV200 and Ford with their transit connect.

In 2018 my workplace replaced the majority of their fleet with the Promaster city and were now beginning the process of looking for replacements for them…however none of these compact commercial vans are available anymore.

This segment was great for multiple reasons. These vans could get decent fuel economy while carrying tools and equipment plus ladders on top.

Ford and Chevrolet have forced customers to either their larger offerings like the transit 150 or express (long live the express) or their newer smaller trucks like the Maverick or Colorado. Nissan, Ram and Mercedes only offer their larger vans.

While I don’t hate the idea of a pickup, it just feels unnecessary for most of the work we do, and the larger vans are sometimes just unnecessarily large for the work we do and tools we carry.

Are there any other vehicles on the market close to this segment? The Kia carnival comes close but it’s designed as a passenger van first, has a larger engine and less cargo space. Van offerings from Honda, Toyota and even Chrysler are just too expensive.

This docuseries is the culmination of two years of interviews, research, and footage. There will be 6 half-hour episodes dropped every week. The first one is streaming now.

If you're at all interested in the last, major independent American automaker, this is worth a watch. People love to poke fun at AMC for cars like the Gremlin and Pacer, but the truth is, they were surprisingly successful in inventing an entirely new market segment (AMC Eagle, the first crossover, and American!). Owners appreciated the value, and AMC nailed it with their 4WD cars and wagons.

If you've got no lunch plans, make this your Friday lunchtime break for the next couple of weeks =)
