![]() ![]() Buickman GM marketing killed many a car.A prius was 50% cheaper and far more sophisticated mechanically and got a stellar 50 MPG overall, and could be had in plugin with 10-20 mile range (the current one will double that again). This model took a major leap for 1987, when Motor Trend named it Car of the Year. Its gas only MPG is also lousy compared to the ICE competition. The Thunderbird Turbo Coupe evolved steadily, gaining an available automatic transmission in 1984 and a color-keyed grille, redesigned instrument panel, larger wheels, and a more powerful engine in 1985. The end.I am not at all attracted by the VOlt's lousy interior. GM Bled billions despite the lofty price, sold a bunch of VOlts, and finally had to cry "UNCLE". Don't remember the failed Caddy Cimarron? Neither did those morons.So a good idea in principle was screwed beyond recognition. Then the geniuses at GM made a 2-door Caddy out of the Volt, the ELR, which was much smaller inside than the already cramped Volt, and. People with a 40 mile commute each way, if they were allowed to free charge at the office especially, could save some $ with the Volt, but not as much as to justify its lofty price.The 2nd gen VOlt was less nerdy looking than the 1st, but also even more similar to the new Cruze and indeed the Civic, which cost almost HALF. I like plug-in vehicles with a good Electric only range and no range anxiety. The interior of the Volt did not match that lofty price either. Tassos When the Volt was on sale, it cost twice as much as the (better looking!) Chevy Cruze on which it was based.Zerog When will the media admit that Mary Barra has simply been a disaster of a CEO, and "Dan the Man" Akerson is to blame?.Zerog Isn't this the car that the self anointed AutoExtremist said would finally shut down Tesla AND the Prius?Just like his father - that Detroit bubble does him no good. ![]() RHD I wonder if these will be as easy to steal as so many other Kias are. 87 88 THUNDERBIRD TURBO COUPE 8.8 QUAD SHOCK CHASSIS BODY MOUNT BRACKET SET OEM (Fits: 1988 Ford Thunderbird) 40.00 9.65 shipping or Best Offer 2 KYB Left+Right Rear Shocks Absorbers Struts Insert Damper for Ford for Mercury (Fits: 1988 Ford Thunderbird) 59. ![]()
