Can someone please tell me what the heck this article is referring to?  The Fit has never been offered with a sporty engine in the US.  It’s always been sold in the US with the least powerful engine of any model sold (in the US).  And the mention of transmission...completely lost in that reference.

100 mile range is fine for some people. So if Honda sold it at a price that reflects the crappy range maybe it would sell.

I love the styling of the E, and that it’s  RWD hatchback.  But the range and price of the vehicle are laughable.  Hopefully Honda is intelligent enough to recognize what the problems are (though I’m doubtful there).

I’ve been aware of Geely for over a decade.  We’re talking about Volvo here.

Since when is Volvo a big automaker?

Did the Polestar 1 really come out in 2017?! All the magazines published test drives of it less than 3 months ago. How is this possible? BTW Wikipedia says production started in 2019...so either way, I don’t think 2017 is close to correct.

$25,000, 300 mile range, 5-10 minutes to fully recharge the battery pack.

That’s a good observation.  The last PCA C&C I went to, I went alone and didn’t know anyone else that showed up (despite being a member of the local region, I mainly use my membership just for HPDEs).  I met a few guys, but despite being very outgoing I was a little surprised at the lack of receptiveness from everyone…

A Mercedes Benz 300E built in 1987 is better for the environment than a new hybrid. One will last forever and never need replacement, the other won’t be on the road in 10-15 years.

Not the worst, since it includes maintenance and insurance.  Not great though, encourages throw away society.

Like most other “green” companies, they’re full of it.

Fair, but I guess their way of doing it wasn’t so heavy handed and blatant.  Or agenda laden.  (also admit I’m not familiar with Setright)

Not holding my breath, given that their fastest car now barely tops 150.

“You could also see Aston putting hybrid or electric powertrains in its sports cars, which haven’t been selling all that well in recent years anyway.”

I’ve been saying that all year.  The resemblance is laughably similar.

mid, and even moreso rear, engine cars are fantastic in the snow.  Lots of grip.  Way more grip than FWD vehicles.  However a bit trickier on deceleration.

Does that include the Mustang multiplier?

They’re really not.  I’ve got 30+ years of print copies of car magazines that says otherwise.

agreed, leave the political bs out of vehicle reviews. FFS, this is one reason why we read sites like this in the first place. Though anyone still thinking they could avoid being bombarded with political crap on this particular site is severely mistaken.

Is it tone deaf for a company to build a product that will sell in successful numbers? I would say no.
