That’s a tacky resto-mod done wrong.
An electric bicycle sounds awesome because hills suck.
I’m all for electrification. I already own a hybrid, and my next vehicle will be a PHEV or BEV. They’re good for reducing our carbon footprint and even better for weathering the shocks in oil prices like what we’re seeing now.
I went the other way, and put a 5.0 in my Rascal.
Who gives a shit?
“65,000 reservations for a car that will turn a child into a red mist as you drive down the road.”
At lest we had plenty of coverage on a trucker convoy that nobody gave a shit about.
Big EV bad. Small, compact, 4-cylinder hybrid city truck bad.
The article where they went after the Maverick a couple weeks ago was literally jaw-dropping.
The Jalopnik Snark knows no limits. Even if it means they have to go against the very things they hold dear, they will find a way to be negative about everything.
“Every vehicle on sale should be tailored to me: a young, broke, urban, liberal”
I’ll admit to eating a little bit of crow on this one because I legitimately never thought I’d see any article critical of any EV published here.
Jalopnik: We hate people with money, cars, trucks and EVs But we love brown stickshift wagons, reposting 7 year old posts and slideshows.

And you’re a dull-witted ass. With nothing but trite insults.

While I’ll certainly agree that “personal luxury” cars of the ’70s are an, ahem, acquired taste, This is actually a pretty fine example of the breed. A big, floaty cruiser made to soak up the miles. It may not be equipped for broken-field running, but it’s equipped perfectly for broken-road cruising.
These big, soft, “floaty” cars were exactly what you needed during long trips on the freeways at the posted 55mph limit. Luxury is a soft ride and room to stretch out. It ain’t a sports car . . .
I have two family members who work for Enterprise and I’ve bought my wife two cars from their fleet. You guys are naive if don’t realize how many cars at the dealership, not the tote the note dealer, are rental cars. My sister n law works for the remarketing side of enterprise and just in Nashville, her and ten other…
