Well, so a mediocre sports car is going for too much money. That could be said about a lot of old Porsches.

You can still get Mitsubishi 3000GTs (sometimes even coveted VR4s), turbo Supras and 300ZX Turbos for a bargain. Heavier, but I prefer the way they handled over the ass heavy feeling 944. I remember driving my

It’s no Mazdaspeed 3.

Someone’s going to do it. It’ll be fun, but pointless. You can justify an automatic as a torque multiplier, but a manual?

People really do get stuck in their own little worlds where they’re out of sync with the times they live in.

With a sufficient installed base, the aftermarket will happen. The latest graphene batteries from Europe, the motor off a light rail engine and kits to support it with 3000 horsepower, exotic high current cables, water cooled everything.

I’m expecting to see aftermarket hot rodding kits for Chevy Volts in the coming

Tesla had zero brand cachet when they started. What they have now, they only built in just 10 years, from nothing. I think Cadillac can built that cachet. But they screwed up majorly with the weak electric that they offered while Tesla was selling luxury electric muscle cars.

Everybody. Everybody will be selling electric cars for the rest of us.

It’s the cost of the batteries that’s holding that back right now. 5 years after 80,000 Wh batteries are practical in <$20,000 cars, it will be hard to find a new ICE engined car or truck. It simply will no longer make sense to sell or own one,

Can save money by charging at home, and if they keep their car inside an attached garage, they never have to get out of the car in the cold to fill it.

I’m still amazed by the persistence of the old person stereotype.
You people realize the stereotype of the old person driving the land barge, comes from those old people

I would like to point out that...
Old people with money mostly drive Mercedes. Today’s 70 year old, was 50 in 1999. When Cadillac was trying to stop making wallowing land barges, but hadn’t quite succeeded.

So, by the time one of these new BEV3 platformed Caddies appear, the 70 year old market will have been 50 in 2001

Pontiac were mostly badge engineered Chevys by the time they were shuttered. GM just couldn’t bear to give them exclusives, and really what purpose did the brand serve in the end? Plastic molding that made the cars look sportier than their Chevy counterparts? Round HVAC vents instead of rectangular?

The one car that

So is Cadillac finally going to make a <2.5 second 0-60 BEV to compete with Tesla now? Are they going to compete with the Jag iPace? Seemed like they were real willing to cede that territory before.

It should be really clear that people expect electric luxury muscle cars these days, if a luxury car is going to make an

Sometimes I really have to wonder what is wrong with you people at Jalopnik. The only thing tempting about this is it’s unavailability. It’s painfully ugly and would slow traffic everywhere there’s a hill.

I have an answer. For jobs that don’t exist outside the city. For the excitement of having a million things to do within a few blocks walk, while never seeing the world 10 miles away because it takes an hour to get there by subway after changing trains. For being able to live without cars (but you never go where there

So you’re voluntarily immersing yourself in a microwave radiation field that can deliver 5-10 watts per quarter of a square foot of surface area within its boundaries? Just to charge your phone without wires?

If you gave me a burger that was fake meat and tasted good...

It would be hilarious if my next car was a VW ID R (AWD, biggest battery for the size). I’m specing my next car as a BEV AWD hot hatch.

Not gonna trend without the #humblebadge hashtag, now will it?

The perfect vehicle for the post apocalyptic roads of 2021.

I’m laughing about the big butt seats you slide around in. All anyone ever did with my model of Focus ST, is complain about the seats, which keep you securely in place. I like it.

I hate when auto critics bring up the trope about American car interiors being suckfests. Jaguar F-Type interiors are made of the same cheap

I’ve got a 2013 Focus ST now that I still like and I’m not quite ready to move on from. I kind of sense I won’t have a use for Ford in the future.
