f i could chose, it would be mavrick hybrid with the bed top camper, Mavericks are unobtanium so we will see if one can even be found. second place would be the Toyota Corolla cross Hybrid. current car needs to last a few years i just bought a 2014 prius last year that is barely broken in just crossed 90k miles this…

I agree. Quarter mile or even 1/2 mile time is more important at this price point. 

in many states selling items bought with your employee discount counts as theft and is actually a crime with real jail time. Not sure  if that would apply to this scenario. 

I think dodge used to move close to 200k grand caravans A MONTH and corollas moved in similar numbers back in 2009-2010ish  wich was even post recession.

vehicles are VERY expensive purchases like the second largest purchase next to your home. I think people plan on keeping their vehicles for a very long time so they buy their cars the same way you would buy your home you want as much space and practicality as you can afford.  I think part of it comes from the “safety”…

what are the numbers on total number of cars sold? 

any one owner car with 300k miles is an instant buy 

I don’t know if it’s worth it to regularly deploy this source of power it would just make more sense to have the power company install AC power. some private businesses could maybe make money delivering these tempaorarilly as a service as rentals  theres tons of machine rental companies this could just be another…

so walmart gets to raise their prices due to market forces even tho it technically costs  them the exact same amount of money. great. 

“Demand isn’t as high as you think.”

most of the EVs are suvs also very short list of ev “cars” for sale.  I think that Toyota will have no problem selling their EVs at MSRP they will likely be “sold out” in the usa for at least 3 years 

I don’t know if the Bolt is the best example as GM literally can’t even give away bolts. Also they had to remanfucature some bolt’s vehicles Post production but before sale so they are likely looking to clear that inventory to recoup at least a little bit of those costs. right now we just have one data point once we…

45k for base electric car and right now the “average” car price is 47k. I think that assumption is actually right.  Toyota just “wasted” their ev tax credits on phevs and ran out of credits before their full electric car hit the market. meanwhile you have Hyundai / Kia with their full electric cars already out and…

Yeah man you said the same thing I did but with many more words. Right now there is a huge supply shortage. We grew up in the “ a car for every purse and purpose” but todays reality there is not enough supply to do that. In 2019 92 million cars were manufactured world wide. Last year it was the high 70s. Demand is…

if you have an iphone you can specify the kind of device your bluetooth connection is. you can set it to “vehicle” and it will automatically max volume your bluetooth connection and the volume buttons on your phone will be disabled. 

because capacity for new vehicles is going down and demand is going up.  it doesnt really matter what cars they make they will sell every single one of them.  Automakers are now in the game to maximize how much profit they can make on each vehicle and not try and compete on volume. 

toyota Upped their hybrid warranty to 150k miles / 10 years and that was the nail in the coffin for Hyundai. If you buy a hybrid that is not a toyota then you must be planning on selling it before 50k miles otherwise you would be crazy.  

rented a venue and genuinely liked it the one i rented had the 8 speed transmission and that was probably the best thing about that car it was just ALWAYS in the perfect RPM and shifts were seamless. What i did not like: the fuel economy was awful for such a small front wheel drive car. Granted I was not hypermiling…

The slightly-more-upscale-than-entry-level category is effectively dead. Mercury is gone, pontiac is gone, oldsmobile is gone, chrysler is ... a mini van company now. Car buyers had to either spend more money to go to the full premium tiers or the “entry level” cars had to go upmarket and it looks like that’s exactly…

the problem is you are not paying $15,000 for the mirage you are paying $22,500 in today’s market. Prices will eventually (maybe?) return to sanity and you will be left holding the bag as your vehicle depreciated much more rapidly than it normally would.
