You’re spot on, it’s complete BS.  It just goes to show how powerful the UAW union is. 

I was getting gas last night when I heard a nice V8 accelerate quickly down the road...looked up, it was a newer Ram 1500. Obviously had an aftermarket exhaust of some sort, but man, did it sound great. I was impressed.

I have a 2020 Bighorn and feel the same way. They don’t make the Roadmaster wagon anymore so this is the next best thing for me: roomy, powerful, durable, comfortable, room to haul the kids’ equipment and still pick up groceries. And I can’t even complain about the MPGs on trips: the eTorque Hemi gets 20+ with cruise…

The greatest Pickup is the one you have.

Toyota HiLux, obviously:

That’s pretty much what happened with the Chevy Bolt. Once the tax credits expired, you saw them start throwing a lot of cash on the hood and even dropping the price on the new models.

Neutral: I’ve purchased 5 different vehicles that originally qualifed for the $7500 tax credit.

I still don’t know how this isn’t universally interpreted as an infringement on the 4th amendment. It’s exactly what it was written for, to protect against this kind of thing.

Ford Flex. It wasn’t a flop, but selling a little over 300,000 units during a run of 12 model years wasn’t enough for the blue oval. Selling a CUV alternative is tough when your customers overwhelmingly prefer a regular old CUV. The cool and funky wagon-ish vehicle lost out bigly to the generic blobs. Sad!

Tesla Model 3. It has some weird halo effect despite being ugly and having a bargain basement interior... And that's before getting into the quality issues. It drives fine, it's fast, and electric... But since when does that get it a free pass when it also costs $50k?

Two things...

Street price on new Bolts has been ~$25k for several years.

I bought my 2020 Chevy Bolt with all the options this February for $21k before TTL. Didn’t need to rely on a tax rebate, either. You can absolutely get a sub-$30K electric car with 250 miles range nowadays.

Well, in most places, the sales tax on a $2 million Singer is a decent chunk of money. They’re also possibly paying 15% Capital Gains to sell the investments to pay it. So there’s that. The effective corporate tax rate in the US is 19.4%, so Singer is likely paying that on their profit. 

Raph, why don’t you quit your job? It is obvious to a casual observer that you actually hate cars.
2nd gear: Highways are where we drive cars. We are car enthusiasts. We like better roads that don’t beat the shit out of our cars.
4th gear: If you have a problem with raking in huge chunks of cash from ICE vehicles, then…

I’m no fan of our loophole-riddled tax code, but TBH purchasing a Singer seems a much better use of funds than many things Uncle Stoopid spends our tax dollars on....

Still cheaper than a Hyundai Palisade at Doug’s Hyundai in Lynnwood, WA.

I’m on board with all of the ~20 current commenters to this thread. This is one of the few Porsche cars that really makes me tingle. Funny that the writer of this story would write in the tone he has... This is like basically the only acceptable $2 million Jalop ride. The engineering, development etc of this car is…

You can be a tasteless rapper who spends $2M on a Bugatti, or you can be someone who understands engineering and the art of fine craftsmanship... and get a Singer.

...gotta be honest, I don’t see how anyone can be that salty about the ridiculously high level of craftsmanship that goes into a Singer.  Maybe step away from the internet for awhile.
