Saw an interesting article about car depreciation. The Camaro was ranked as seventh best. The article stated: "Two more sports cars (the Subaru BRZ and Chevrolet Camaro) feature in the top 10, indicating that these “fun” designer cars are valued for their status as well as functionality."

Random thought of the day… This picture of me with Ed Welburn is from an Automotive Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony a couple years ago. Ed was presenting Jay Leno for induction.
The conversation Ed and I were having was about Camaros and Powertrain Portfolio Planning directors. When I first met Ed I was Powertrain Portfolio Planning director. I am still in contact with several of the people who have held that position before and after me. Of the five most recent P3 directors who have retired, four of us bought Camaro Convertibles as our retirement toys.

If we are going ALL in on EV, why are they building so many new gasoline stations around me?

I guess they're cheaper to build than EV stations. They know the market.

Didn't feel like making a new thread, but since there is a lot of GM knowledge in here I figure I would ask here. I have a buddy who bought an 86 Grand National and he is having trouble tracking down some parts. What's the best place for him to look? He's looking specifically right now for an instrument panel support bracket.

In their Earnings Call GM just confirmed that there will be a PHEV in the portfolio. Other confidential information I have received indicates that it’s most likely on the T1XX platform (full sized trucks/utes). Makes sense. It would provide GM an interesting alternative to RamCharger.

If you don't mind questions Martinjlm:
Is this related to the 6th gen V8 investment announced last year? Could that be interpreted as a clue they're leaning more toward a F-150 style hybrid than Ramcharger setup? For the California plug-in allowance, would a pickup be unladen to meet battery range? |

I think so but I would have to look at what was actually signed into law. When I read the Executive Order it was very gray on how to treat PHEV and range extenders. Sort of a non-answer but that’s all I got right now.
