What are Honda's mild hybrids like? on what cars? I had the impression Ram's(Dodge's) were just next gen battery-starter/generators with a higher volt battery. How is that a big difference versus a new vehicle with start-stop?

I had been mixing up parallel and series hybrids, oops.
I recall reading the Ram's pentastar is more costly than the hemi. How much extra cost is the Silverado turbo 4 8speed vs the 4.3 or 5.3 6speeds? Thank you kindly for the write up, Mr. Martin. Last edited by genxer; 01-13-2023 at 12:26 AM. |

I'll be interested in the use case since I invested in the last one previously. But yes, had to top it off quite a bit as well as fuel her up, but boy was she fun to drive. Mazda always has a well sorted chassis.

Do the whispers you have heard mention either ICE or EV?

https://insideevs.com/news/632266/gm...type-to-media/ "Automaker has built a two-door electric pickup prototype with a 4- to 4.5-foot-long bed but hasn't released any photos of it yet." "The automaker announced it is considering an all-electric two-door pickup smaller than the Ford Maverick and the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Envisioned as part of the carmaker's lineup of affordable EVs priced under $30,000, the small truck would have a 4- to 4.5-foot-long (1.2-1.37-meter-long) bed and low roofline. The automaker has shown a prototype of the mini truck to reporters at its affordable EV design studio in Warren, Michigan. Automotive News has seen the vehicle and describes it as "futuristic and sporty." The name, brand or production timeline for the small truck are still being kept under wraps. That said, Chevrolet looks like the ideal brand for such a model." Last edited by 90503; 01-20-2023 at 02:08 PM. |

Under the skin, it will ride on a revised variant of the GM Y2 platform that underpins the current C8 Corvette, Y2 is the platform that C7 was built on. I think the C8 platform name is ZERV.
