What are you talking about? I am not sure why the author gave them negative points for it either. A major plus to any Hyundai/Kia is that the center stack is actually very well laid out. The touchscreen does what it needs to and below it you have easy to stab buttons, even with gloves on, to control all infotainment…

Same thing for all the damn rental bikes.  I can see the use in a city, but the suburbs, nope.  Just a mess.  At least they were all removed from my town for the winter.  

Who pays for it then? Not just the chargers and infrastructure, the actual electricity? I know there are areas in the US with low electric cost but that is not true everywhere. I don’t think plugging in will be free for anyone and it shouldn’t be. I charge at my house but with my PHEV with the ability to run EV only…

I was just going to say the same thing.  No one is going to try and tow across the country, this is an around the suburb type vehicle, like most Teslas.

Long range, RWD and upgraded interior is the sweet spot price wise for the Model 3.  Decent upgrades for the money.

Same here, I don’t completely hate it. Just seems out of place on a basic Panamera, kind of makes it look old.

Yes! The model 3 is one of the most ungainly looking things coming down the road at you.  It is the low hood mixed with tall front glass and the fact that you can see some of the roof/glass.  I am actually a fan of the rest of the design, it isn’t amazing but certainly fine.

CTS V-Sport. Might not be enough room in the back seat but at 6'2" you might be able to make it work.

These have a small back seat though...

They are, but nearly all, if not all Hyundai/Kia are 5 years/60k miles bumper to bumper, 10 years/100k miles powertrain.

No, for those of us that are tall but also want to preserve rear leg room, all of those cars are too small. The only car I remember fitting into and having the driver seat nearly all the way back and being able to sit behind myself (kids and car seats take up just as much room as I do) was a Pontiac G8.  Maybe a…

Like the bright, florescent green paint on the calipers of the hybrid models?

Yes. In the US alone they were forced to pay $2.7 billion for environmental mitigation and another $2 billion for clean-emissions infrastructure. This was well known then and led most people to believe that they had no choice but to go the EV route. At the very least, they already had to spend money advertising how…

Good for them. They are the ones funding it anyway. Same reason I feel good I was able to snag ~$4900 on my PHEV.

I hate when people do this but it does look like the horrible love child of a Accord Crosstour, AMC Eagle and any of those “coupe” things BMW and Merc sell a crap-ton of.

I have a ‘16 Sonata PHEV Limited, no issues other than a fuel door that would stick shut, it needed to be lubed since the car sat on the lot for nearly a year. At 42k miles, just replaced the original tires and.

The only downside is that if you are on the throttle more than (a guess) 50%, the gas engine will likely kick on to assist.  This is completely fine but not exactly what you are thinking it will be like when wanting a boot the Tonale around a windy road.

Nearly everything you say is true. The issue I have with these little CUVs is just that, they are little and have less passenger space. I love the idea of having a similar drive train as my Sonata PHEV but I just wish it was at least the size of a Grand Cherokee (or larger - need rear leg room) inside.

I doubt they will close the locations within a month or 2.  With lease agreements in place I am sure this will take a long time to unwind.
