Separate names with a comma.
You could say the same about the Prius HSD -- it just used 2 instead of 3 planetary gear sets and it was always in its single eCVT mode instead of...
I don't know enough about the roles of individual GM executives through all of these corporate events but let's go through your list: The...
Hmm, I'm not buying the argument. I think Lutz's $30,000 price target is implicitly relative to the general new vehicle market price so I think...
I can agree that the issues are somewhat subtle but I think that only stating prices in nominal terms in 2016 when Lutz was discussing 2011 model...
This is why I posted earlier that: The Volt has mainstream sub-$30,000 pricing today as long as the credits and rebates persist. Various other...
Oops, you're right. I confused myself about who said that. So, after all this you aren't going to take a position of your own on whether the...
But Lutz couldn't have known any of that when he spoke in 2007 so this non-existent BLS consumer price index subcategory (which would have...
Assuming that is true, then we should adjust for new vehicle consumer price inflation from the time that he made the comment projecting a $30,000...
Yes, but thanks to autonomous cars you will still be able to sit in the "driver's seat" and pretend. That's a hell of a lot better than waiting...
I think some folks here are being somewhat unfair to Lutz. Lutz (I mean let's) get real..... Car makers normally announce prices on cars a few...
Even if you apply the new vehicle subcomponent of the general US consumer price inflation index, the price of the Volt has still dropped over...
Interesting. Thanks for chart! However, it's largely irrelevant to the issue at hand which is that there has been significant new vehicle...
The income of people who buy $30,000 cars is rising. It's the income of people who generally buy $12,000 cars (or used $2,000 cars) that isn't...
It's plausible that car prices have trailed general price inflation over the longer term but probably not nearly to the extent of consumer...
Almost 9% inflation over 5 years is roughly 1.7% annual inflation which is below the historical average and below the Federal Reserve's 2%...
I'm trying to unpack what you are saying here.... If Lutz's price target that he stated in 2007 was intended to be valid in 2010 and today's 2016...
Again, inflation.Today's MSRP of $33.170 was $28,900 back when Lutz made that statement back in 2007. If you assume he was predicting future...
The 2011 Volt MSRP was $40,280 with a $720 destination charge making it $41,000. The 2016 Volt MSRP is $33,170 with an $825 destination fee...
I'll go all wild and crazy and will predict: gas tax increases.
Everything else in this country seems to rapidly change over a 25-35 year time span but it's "cannot" and "won't be able to" when it comes to...
