This car and I have been through a lot together. She’s been there with me through college, a couple of long-distance moves, numerous family holiday disasters, and a few relationships (also disasters). But it’s time for us to move on and go our separate ways. Her name is Dinah. My dad bought her off of my grandpa’s accountant, Rose, whose eyesight started failing in her advanced years. We are the second owners of the vehicle. Before I got ahold of Dinah, she had very, very low mileage. Even now the mileage is at 87,360 on the original motor. Dinah took me from Oklahoma City to Oberlin, Ohio for college, where I neglected her for my studies. During those college years I cheated on her with a Schwinn 10-speed, but she remained faithful to me, dutifully carting my rump to Cleveland for the occasional night on the town. After college we separated for a year. I went to New York, where Dinah was replaced by the subway and sidewalks. Dinah went back home to Oklahoma and patiently waited for me. She knew I’d eventually come crawling back to her, and she was right. We were reunited when I moved out to California for grad school. When I picked her up in Oklahoma, all of the good times and memories came rushing back. She didn’t hold any grudges or hard feelings about the year I spent without her. I hopped into the driver’s seat and Dinah took me all the way to Los Angeles, cruising along Interstate 40 like a big, comfy desert yacht. Time, weather, and the harsh California sun have worn her down some, but she still runs great. Almost everything under the hood is factory original, with some notable exceptions. Her radiator gave out, which I replaced. I also replaced the transmission with a brand new one (which was quite expensive, but she deserved it after everything we’d been through). Age has taken its toll on some of her exterior and interior. The vinyl on the driver’s seat is ripped (for which my butt is also to blame). The dash is somewhat brittle and has cracked in a few places. And the plastic knob on the driver side window crank broke recently (window still rolls up and down fine, just needs a new knob). Her biggest cosmetic issue is on the passenger side. In a shameful and embarrassing moment, I was attempting to avoid some plastic cones on the left of the of the car and in doing so managed to run the right side of the car into a pole in a parking lot. |

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.
