It’s fine that the Civic is big now. If you want a small, cheap Honda (like the Civics of yore), you can always just get a Fi...oh, right. 

My main concern would be reliability and maintenance, as it’s German, thus the battery probably has dozens of unnecessary moving parts that are failure prone and expensive to repair.

What kind of range would the electric mail trucks have? I spent some time on Google but couldn’t find it.

I live outside of town, but people like my mom live waaaaaay out in the boonies. Some of those mail carriers go super far, and in the winter, road conditions are... unfortunate.
My question is this: Would the…

Kia Souls are fucking great and if Americans weren’t insecure to the point of frantically committing suicide via autoerotic asphyxiation while furiously sobbing against the backdrop of “Proud To Be An American” played on endless repeat, they would be half the cars on the road. I’m prepared to die on this hill, fucking…

It’s bizarre to see all these automakers act like they're Captain Planet, when a month earlier this was in a press release from the same brand “The top of the range 390PS five-cylinder petrol engine offers the ultimate expression of the CUPRA brand’s DNA”

Why the big sidewalls ? when we have to drive rubber bands because performance

I can assure you, Rotwild does not, in fact, know what they’re doing. Just another contract manufactured Chinese frame, and an ugly one with poor suspension kinematics at that.

Taking a small step into reality (the USPS mail van has a 20.8 mile daily mail route at 13.8 mph*), the Ford Transit EV, Mercedes Sprinter EV, and the Rivian RPV soundly trounce any of the semi-finalists. And don’t forget the Arrival van, being tested by the U.K. post office and UPS:

Perhaps is fatigue of celebrities that don’t do anything useful. I enjoy playing golf. Paying someone else to do it, no so much. Lionizing them for it is all out dumb. I’d rather see people who do useful things like teach our children or care for our sick be compensated properly and lionized.

Speaking of V8's, are you guys going to cover the new Lexus IS F Sport? Cramming a big V8 into a little luxury sedan might be going out of style, but Toyota is doing it anyway.

But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that these trucks aren’t popular because of their practical features. They’re popular because they’re stupid big and make you feel important.

That new Mazda fob is fat and dumb. The buttons on the side are awful. I got one with my 2020 Miata and promptly gutted the fob and printed a new case as small as possible around the board and battery. I omitted the buttons because they are entirely unnecessary and now the new fob disappears in my pocket, never…

What do you need to see exactly? It’s another jacked up hatchback two-box blob. This particular one will have Maserati badges on it, to differentiate it from the jacked-up two box blobs with Porsche badges, or KIA badges, or Ford badges. Whatever.

Yeah, that is $133 for the key, possibly another $50 for the half that has the physical key, and another $50-70 to have the physical part of the key cut (which admittedly you can skip if you are brave). Then another $150 for the dealer to program it to the car. Actually it was more like $200 for just the two parts of…

This slideshow format for comments is stupid.

So it sounds like folks want a situation similar to a gas powered car.

You are correct, I do not know much of anything about it. Cool project and passion by the builder, but one who is surely still a millionaire.

To hungry people in your community, and around the world. A corporate race track does not need your personal charitable donations.

There hasn’t been a new car that is “dangerously slow” since the 70s. 

I hope at least a few of them are stuck with $5000 worth of PS5s that they can’t sell off.
