Yesterday, — the ability to — across its entire Ultium EV lineup. But the announcement video, in its list of vehicles types that will receive V2H charging, included a curious item: Ultium-based coupes.

So far, Ultium has been reserved for big vehicles: , , , the kinds of transportation that can roll over a child, cyclist, or child cyclist without batting an eye. GM has talked about , but it hasn’t deigned to shrink the design further — , GM’s only electrified coupe, doesn’t use .

The specific mention of an Ultium coupe, then, can’t mean that Corvette. It must mean something else — perhaps an , a , a . That’s right: GM is bringing back an electrified .

Okay, yeah, fine, it’s . When killing off the car’s sixth generation, Chevy even announced that it wasn’t the end for the nameplate — just that iteration of the car. Still, given the company’s approach of starting Ultium off in the ritziest, highest-dollar models, it may be some time yet before the humble Camaro shows up as an EV.

Will GM begin with an electric Cadillac flagship coupe? It would certainly be an interesting way to update the V line, and to show off the brand’s performance chops in the electric era. Then, once the early adopters have had their six-figure payments extracted, the platform could trickle down to Chevy, where it could wear a Camaro badge.

This is all speculation, of course, but it seems viable. More viable than a production-ready Avista, anyway. But, if you’re reading this and you work at GM, just at least consider the Buick. Please?

For $18,995, Show Some Civic Pride
Today's Honda has less miles than the worlds worst jazz collection. Does that lack of use however, make its price a deal by a country mile? Before we get to today's Civics class, let's review how yesterday's faired. First off, let's check through the list of likables: Station wagon? Yes...

Volvo Just Proved Wagons Are Better Than Crossovers
Volvo Just Proved Wagons Are Better Than Crossovers
The Volvo XC60 and V60 are capable vehicles in both their segments, but and comparing their specs, I can't imagine why one would spend more on the crossover than the wagon. Here lies, in my opinion, a strong business case to consider wagons over crossovers. To be clear about one...

Combo meals can make fast food ordering even easier and more economical. Likewise, today's combo Sebring/Blazer means never having to decide between fun in the sun and 4x4 git 'er done. But will its price make this combo worth ordering? I don't know what it is about cars named after...

For $9,800, Embrace Your Checker'd Past
In the 1975 film of the same name, Dustin Hoffman's character paid dearly - or was it toothily - to be the Marathon Man. Today's Checker Marathon is a lot easier on the teeth, but is its price still too dear? Chrysler's Sebring really gets no respect whatsoever. That's too...

The Marlboro Man died of lung cancer, how's that for a non-ironic passing. Today's Marlboro Syclone doesn't need a Surgeon General warning, but will its price still prove bad for the heart? Do you have a collection of children's toys - say Star Wars action figures - that you keep...

Today's jet-powered go kart - yes, that's right, jet-powered go kart - even has a second seat for someone to be goose to your maverick. Is its price however, cleared for takeoff? Have you ever seen that old Simpsons episode where their dog needs expensive surgery? They visit a veterinarian...
