Or if you just have to have the weirdness of those suicide doors, then go for a used i3. Looking on Autotrader, there are plenty listed for $12k. I even saw a 2019 with the 150-mile range at a main dealer with only 20,000 miles for $23k. Probably can get one for under $20k without too much effort.

Then it should be a PHEV and be done with it. Also, it should have four doors.

Cost.

Glued to a log and tossed into the Mississippi is exactly how my parents found me.

A pissed off enough house cat can send you to the ER for stitches and puncture wounds. A 40lb house cat can send you to the ER for even more stitches and even bigger puncture wounds. Given the choice, would rather not.

God forbid we use weight and fuel economy to tax commensurately with a vehicle’s damage to infrastructure and the environment. I, for one, am grateful that the government is finding ways to essentially subsidize my coworkers continuing to commute in their FERD 3500 MASCULINITYWAGONS.

Most sales people can’t answer detailed questions about any of their models. I have never been on a lot shopping where I didn’t know vastly more than the sales person about the car I was looking for. These guys/gals float dealer to dealer and rarely stay up on current/detailed product info. They know a few highlights…

Unless GM improves their styling, especially the front ends (looking at you Bolt & Sierra🤢), Ford has the best chance of capturing more of the EV market than any of the traditional domestics.

Chevy has one EV vehicle right now? And it has a stop sale on it for catching on fire right? They should be commended for trying but this statement feels a little overoptimistic on GM.

350 miles. 10 minute full charge.

Oh the Volt. The Volt got a raw deal. The COO of my old employer, who could have driven any car he wanted, drove a Volt for years. Now he drives a launch edition Gladiator and his son drives the Volt to school and work. I still see them from time to time and his son said he has filled the gas tank only twice since his…

This is kind of why I feel like a plug-in hybrid (with decent electric range) is the best current day option for a lot of people. They can operate on full electric for daily commuting, but when they do need to drive 400+ miles for whatever reason they can still just hop in and go. 

I propose he spins it another way. Put it as part of the Defense Budget. Make it part of the national defense strategy that we will not rely on counties that vow to destroy us to power our military by 2024. This would make the Rs vote for it, otherwise he can campaign on Rs wanting to keep our troops dependent on OPEC…

You know... a pretty immediate way that we can “combat climate change”.... is to just let the people who can, continue to work from home after the pandemic is over. Not only will that reduce the number of cars on the roads (emissions & traffic congestion) it will also reduce the wear on the roads (construction), and…

After all, it’s hard to compete with a nameplate like Tesla with one that adorns the sheetmetal of a car as uncool as the EcoSport.

The kinds of people who would buy a Dodge Journey will buy some other 96-mo. family special from Mitsubishi or Nissan. The kinds of people that want to buy a Charger Hellcat will buy a Mustang or Camaro instead. Keep Ram and Jeep, make the Pacifica into the Jeep Voyager (with available AWD!), and kill the rest.

As for…

I dailied a Chrysler Crossfire for 11 years and I’m the only person on this side of the Atlantic who appreciated the “Merger of equals.” It was an MB SLK320 in a stiffer and much more intriguing Chrysler body, and even though neither Chrysler or Mercedes dealers wanted anything to do with it, I loved it.

Huh, I last saw that written above a glory hole.
