Unless he makes a range miscalculation, the odds of him being stranded are waaaaaay lower than any ICE vehicle.

A well thought out and balanced post. We are in a new era!

And just tell your wife that you bought a new bread maker. She’ll never realize the difference!

ERIK

Tires will be a weird size only available from Apple and will have chips in them that will ensure the car cant drive unless it has Apple tires

Is it a garage or a Portal? Does a mechanic work on it, or a Genius?

Someone will moan that you can get bigger wheels/better brakes/nicer leather/better deal on <some other car> and the die hards will retreat to stroke their iDevices and talk about ‘experience’.

Only if you use genuine apple parts that are only available from apple. If you use aftermarket parts to fix your car you will get repeated warnings on the screen you have to click on stating your car is not original and you could die at any second from that non-apple replacement turn signal module.

Bannon bilked Trump followers. Trump pardons Bannon. Followers rejoice. Irony, schadenfreude, and cosmic justice all in one package.

So what you are saying is they will be industry leaders in supporting their cars, just like they are with mobile devices? 

Apple Car: won’t work with any other charger besides the proprietary Apple one, they’ll force you to get a new one every 5 years because they intentionally limit range on old ones, will only pair with iPhones, and can only be serviced at an Apple Garage, er, Car Store.

A lot of people will lose a lot of “money”

They should just stuff a Hellcat engine in it and bring the Viper back from the dead. What would they call it? HellSnake? Pit Viper? CatSnake?

Last time I saw a Smart Car at an auto show it was literally underneath an SUV. The SUV was fixed to the Smart Car’s roof to show everyone how rigid its body was, like it was going to sell because of that. They should’ve brought the Smart Roadster to the US.

The Jeep Patriot will take you places you’ve never seen, like behind this giant sign

Either way a dealer will sell you a car over the phone or internet now. I’ve bought 3 cars now through internet departments since 2013. Its not hard.

Holy smokes! Such a simple change and it looks much better!

it also fits a bunch of little SUV’s from the 80's and early 90's.

I know the people that use these for trail use generally cut the bumper back immediately, this design looks a bit less ugly without the bumper, and way better with an off road bumper raised up tot meet this grill. or invert the bumper and lower filler piece. I am sure that since even farm vehicles are allowed on road…

Don’t worry. I’m sure someone will put some angry eye grill on it soon enough.

I hope there are aftermarket solutions to the severe uglysticking this thing received.
