nothing like Jalopnik for factually accurate reporting

All EVs are heavy as hell.  

Finally found one of the “it’s still a Kia” people in the wild! I thought this day would never come. I am so happy to see there are STILL people out there stuck in “everything they make is a 1996 Hyundai Accent GL” mode. This is like witnessing a rare species.

Very out dated way of thinking. Kia has IMO one of the better lineups in the auto industry. Folks were spending mid 50s for kia stinger GT2 (not enough folks, but they have a pretty loyal fanbase), and folks are spending over 60k on top trim Tellurides. The Ev6 is completely unique from a styling perspective and a lot

Ask to talk to nearly anyone that’s bought a telluride in the last 2 years. With markup and options, they’re over 60k in Colorado, but you’ll see one at every stoplight. 

Perhaps they are people who want an electric car with proper body panel gaps?

That’s uh, Vulture Capitalism 101 to be pedantic. I’ve seen it happen a few times, even with companies NOT in decline, and everyone’s left scratching their heads like “how did that work again??” because the employees can’t believe something that seems like it should be illegal is standard operating procedure.

Dude, go get a spa treatment or something, you’re flinging abuse.  Calm the hell down.

Baby? You called the PR guy “Baby”?

At least he had the common sense to wait until he was back in the US, or he could have VinDisappeared.

Great write up. Kudos on not being afraid to speak truth to power.

The VinFast Lux A 2.0 was based on the BMW 530i”

shut the hell up. F1 cars have had turbos for years. rally cars have nearly always had them. are those not real track cars?

The goddam rolling brick (in terms of relative weight and aerodynamics) known as the Dodge Challenger.

Have more wives and kids!

Bring the wife and kids?

While 8 year old me growing up in the UK thought it was super cool (sideways seats in the trunk!) my parent’s worst car has to be their 1996 P-reg Land Rover Discovery which the local AA (like AAA in the US) referred to as a Land Rover Recovery. Sure it looked great - ours was darker than the below in Epsom Green

Bingo.

Clint, I’m going to warn you now that a number of the commenters are going to insist you don’t really need to give up your manual Accord since you have an Odyssey in the fleet.

For me, it’s in between 2, so I’ll post em both.
