CHEVY ALMOST MADE A V8 COLORADO AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a range of automotive news, with a significant focus on a "what if" scenario: Chevrolet's near-production V8-powered Colorado ZR2. The reviewer expresses strong disappointment that this potent, production-ready truck, engineered by Holden, was ultimately scrapped, deeming it a missed opportunity and another example of Chevrolet's questionable product decisions. The update also touches on Aston Martin's V12 Vantage Final Edition, the upcoming Genesis G90, Cadillac's new EV trademarks, Nissan's Ambition 2030 plan and concepts, Toyota's European EV commitment by 2035 and the GR86's limited European run, teased Lexus RZ, Polestar 3, and BMW i7, the bold BMW Concept XM (highlighting its powerful plug-in hybrid V8), the unique Project Maybach collaboration with Virgil Abloh, Hennessey's ambitious six-wheeled Project Deep Space EV, and a potential three-row Porsche vehicle. The reviewer's tone is largely critical of missed opportunities and unconventional designs, while expressing excitement for powerful engines and innovative concepts, even if they are ultimately impractical.
