It probably comes down to certifying two transmissions for the GT500 versus one.

This car isn’t going into production, so EPA certification isn’t the reason.

You mean I can do this:

2021 Celica confirmed?

I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

You wanna talk about corporate trophies? Nascar has everybody won there. Also, I love how every trophy needs to read “Winner”. How would you know other wise?

While $8k is a lot, Why would you get the mini when the Bolt is selling for under 30k fully loaded and has 2x the range. yes the Bolt has a lot of plastic but for less money and 2x the range, thats not a big deal. Its important to note that the mini won’t have more than 90mi winter range whereas the Bolt is still 2x…

Let’s see...30K for an EV with 114 miles of range, or 39K for an EV with 250 miles of range, the best adaptive cruise-control and lane-keeping system available, a nationwide network of chargers and periodic updates that make the car better over time?

This one.

Want to talk about shitty F1 trophy? You really want to go there?

Sounds like the VW Beetle, but I think they called it something different in Germany in the 1940’s. 

Have the government make their car? Why do you hate poor people so much?

Bailing out the car companies and banks was a terrible terrible decision, we should have let them die, a horrible fiery death.

I keep going around and around and ending back up on the taint.

Very nicely explicated. I’ve owned a couple Triumph Spitfires, one of the simplest conveyances ever made. One of those assembled today on a modern robot assembly line at large scale would probably retail for $5k and wouldn’t meet any safety regs other than three point seat belts and a steering column that crumples.

Funn…

That is an argument for increasing income to the poorest, not for cutting standards. High standards are good, economic inequality is bad.

It wouldn’t work because our well-intentioned high standards fuck over poor people.

They’d call them Trablants. 

They’ll only froth if the recipients of said cars are POC.  

The only way this could work, to protect the poor at least, would be “cars for clunkers”; with the govt making a dirt cheap, basic electric car (no radio, manual windows, manual locks, one color -hopefully yellow or electric neon pink-, etc) and just flat out giving to anyone who can nurse their clunker onto a…
