But they're considerably quicker than a Volt, 0-60 in the low 7s, and will lay rubber for 2-3' before traction control kicks in. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Ford is dumping sedans, so their Fusion “Energi” can be had for cheap. -D > On Dec 18, 2020, at 2:36 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 2020-12-18 13:27, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: >> Thought about you on the way home fro the office today, I was behind a >> Volt on the Crosstown Expressway.

A Volt is a Cruze with a non-turbo engine and a fair sized battery and some minor aero improvements.

Re: [MBZ] Kleb needs this historic vehicle
Thought about you on the way home fro the office today, I was behind a Volt on the Crosstown Expressway. They were keeping up pretty well. Love the Buick. I’m a sucker for late 30s/early 40s sedans with the “hump” trunk. Those things are massive inside. -D > On Dec 18, 2020, at 1:00 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 2020-12-18 11:01, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: >> And in gratitude for his service we should all pitch in so he can own it. >> I'll spot the first $5.

Re: [MBZ] Kleb needs this historic vehicle
I like the Buick ... Have you ever driven a Healey 3000? It's like a chopped down truck compared to an MG or Triumph.
