Not only will you produce a tiny amount of actual hydrogen. How do you plan to get it to 10,000psi? Running a residential compressor, it’ll take you a week just to compress enough for 1 days worth of commute.

Make mine one of the rare 300SLs with a 5spd stick please. Love these cars, when I am too old and decrepit to get in and out of my Spitfire, this is what will replace it. So probably in a few more years.

I read it as the rinse kit fits in the gear carrier, could be wrong though.

Palate cleanser:

That's why I have 2 PHEVs. Electric-only most of the time, but gas when needed or no charger available.

Sure, that would be great if all you ever used your vehicle for was commuting AND never missed a charge at night AND vampire drain didn’t exist, AND the Earth’s geography was perfectly flat AND the weather was always warm AND the EPAs range estimation techniques were perfect.

No, it failed because it wasn’t compelling in performance or MPG.

A quick look at the MPGe of current EVs will quickly show that on average the XL1 is 2.5 times as efficient as an electric car and does not have range, charge time, or battery range degradation issues.

I’m with you, and will endlessly ridicule their word choice to the point my wife get supremely annoyed.

Calling an EV a “Turbo” is absurd. I really dislike this blurring of automotive terms practiced by BMW, Mercedes, and now Porsche. It’s very un-German of them. The German language probably has a very specific word for precisely this type of thing.

The best kind of hybrid is just one that harvests kinetic brake energy and adds minimal weight.

Styling is subjective but I think most of us can agree that this is just awful.

I think R8s from those years are aging better than any other supercar of the era. Matt Farah actually tweeted about this exact thing today. The R8 is timeless.

I’d certainly be more interested. I was dead set on buying one. Then I drove my brother’s BRZ. Interior was pretty terrible and it was pretty slow. Slower than my 200 hp Civic. Asin has a nice 5 speed, the AR-5 which would be perfect for a boosted BRZ. It’s essentially an updated version of the R-154 which was used in

“Woah, Good Bible.”

God, that show was so great.

“Oh, I’m going to the special hell.”

Now playing

(Ok, just because this scene popped into my head just now ...)

I thought for sure the i3 and i8 would be followed with a more mainstream-sporty i5, but no dice. Agree that hybrid is the way to go for practical people who don’t need a 1500-lb battery to make a gas-free statement.
