I hope whoever at GM decided to call that a Blazer has a special place in hell they can burn. The last S10 Blazers were bad enough but that's just wrong on so many levels.

Why not keeping the Captiva nameplate?

Cause you can't sell a Captiva to a 30 something who thinks he needs a Blazer and doesn't know enough about cars to not know it's not his dad's Blazer, even the S10 Blazer. And judging by the numbers I see, the K5s are definitely in demand now, esp the older pop-tops.

I will be renting a medium sized SUV in Europe soon...The well known Hire Car company want a 1700 Euro deposit "because it is automatic and that is unusual"...sound like yet another creative way to rip off people to me. Shirley, Autos must be fairly popular, especially with paddles and for the 'Merican tourists alone (no offence)...

Apparently two motors, one each end, but with different performance characteristics. Front for efficiency in normal running and rear for extra performance. (According to Autocar) Seems heavy at 2400kg and has a small battery pack for the size, but at least nice looking- in my eyes. Not sure about that quoted range- Autocar quotes 280 miles (450km) on the far more optimistic NEDC cycle! Interesting that they are boasting a cd of 0.30, which is poor compared with a Model X (0.25), and I think worse than the I-Pace as well. Aero efficiency is important when you have limited ‘fuel capacity’, hence the Tesla Model 3 has a cd of 0.23......

Yes, but what's the coefficient of cool (properly called status probably) on the MB? I doubt most buying any of there are looking at anything but keeping up with the cool kids and if tomorrow it was high horsepower noise makers they'd be back over there in a second.

And I'd be interested to know how many don't ever get above 50 mph. The few people I know with an i3 or Tesla 3 were all purchasing it purely as their city car for surface roads only. A few actually looked at electrics and ended up with one of a couple electric "golf cart" style low speed vehicles for their city car, under 10k was a HUGE selling point. The other car in the family was the gas burner for road trips or longer commutes.

Yup, way cooler. When you use a platform from a normal vehicle (GLC in this case) and ‘electrify’ it, it will always end up as a compromise!

It's not an SUV. All Mercedes SUVs are prefixed GL - the new GLB is due soon.

'a practical SUV below the GLC and above the sleek GLA. The Mercedes GLB will feature Front Wheel Drive, will be almost 4.60 meters long and have an angular shape'

The B-Class is a compact car - 'The future B-class will be Mercedes’ first compact model to switch to a new, upgraded MFA architecture, hardly changed size-wise.'

Definitely a 5 seat ‘MPV’ according to the motoring press, which is what the previous version was also defined as. Direct competitor to the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. Petrol and Diesel engines only.

Impressive drag coefficient though- 0.24 cd.......

I know. I just didn't want to create a sparsely populated MPV thread.


Anyway, several so-called crossovers are actually tall hatchbacks too.
