I’m mad Toyota never made this.

This is car I want to underspend on.  I’d rather have the cheap one with miles in the low 200s vs the no miles example in the 300s. Why pay more for no miles, unless you aren’t going to drive it? That way you can drive the shit out of it and not lose 100k.

I’m “buy cheap first, buy expensive second.”

Sadly, CP.

Oh, good. He seems like such a nice guy. It’s just a lot of people seem like nice guys these days and just aren’t.

>> ...this car with an automatic....

You get in there with a grinding wheel, slice the weld off the pin. DON’T touch the vinyl trim with it, though; that will leave a mark! :-o

It’s a fucking silhouette.

Hm. Looks promising. Might have to re-up my Jalopnik Gold subscription.

Yup, and for a car that very much advertises its self as something that’s fun to tinker with, that tunability will be huge.

It seems that Porsche beat you to the punch:

Good thing drilling for oil is so environmentally friendly and safe and only occurs in the most stable of democracies! Yes sir!

Not to mention as battery density grows, electric efficiency increases, and battery chemistry moves away from the more damaging components to source and recycle.

I get receipts for everything, always, because I trust no one. I’m also extremely well-adjusted and not at all constantly on high alert. 

The jerk store called, they’re out of you!

I betcha it’s gonna make sooooo much of a difference.

I think you're giving them way too much credit.

Are we sure they didn’t just steal those miles from Porsche? 

Here’s a lukewarm take: This is what they should have done in the beginning. Offer decent, above average performance and decent luxury (read American) at a decent price. Not gobsmacking performance and decent luxury (and build quality (shhh.)) at gobsmacking (read German) prices.
