The Tesla Model S was released in June, 2012, almost six years ago. It typically takes an automaker 3 years to design a new vehicle. Yet here we are in 2018, and it appears that the german manufacturers still aren’t close to releasing a competitor. Porsche’s Mission E appears to be the closest to release.

Apples cost about the same as oranges.

I’m not crazy, but my LOW PRICES are!!!

The Euro manufacturers keep pumping out interesting electric concepts, but seem to be unwilling to actually build a useful electric car. The eGolf is a craptastic compliance car. The i3 is a city car outclassed by a Nissan Leaf, FFS. The i8 is an expensive, weird toy.

I just think your arguments are weak. Which is why you had to resort to using a bad analogy to credit card information.

Waaaaaah. Cry more

I found that it looks much more poised in person. In photos it seems... droopy.

I find it quite striking in person. It looks more expensive and dare I say exotic than any previous gen Accord or anything else it competes against. But I certainly don’t blame anyone who disagrees.  

Or your an old gheezer and don’t realize companies use gorilla internet marketing and half to 3/4s the time it’s the company releasing sneak peaks for feed back and creating buzz. Welcome to the internet.

The thing about these software tunes is always — if X more horsepower could be extracted from the car with just some software tweaks, then in a highly competitive market, why didn’t Honda do that in the first place?

It’s not illegal to report on it. It’s illegal to sneak photos like this. Blame the guy who took the photos, not Jalopnik.

Straw man argument is made of straw.

It looks like you won’t be reading much automotive journalism then...

Lol, nice try buddy. Go cry about this “illegal” picture to someone who cares.

I do not agree that the image of a car is intellectual property, at least as long as it isn’t being misrepresented or claimed to be something else. Now, if the likeness is used as some sort of campaign, advertising, or commercial endeavor then the owner of the car should have the final say in the matter, not the…

You seem to be under the false impression that Jalopnik sent people into this facility to get pictures. This is a picture that was posted on the Internet. It’s out there, it’s fair game.

I hate to answer a question with a question.....

That’s not a flattering angle. It looks bulbous and toy-like. I suppose we’ll wait for the press shots.
