I mean, going upmarket is probably the best way to make a reasonable profit margin on them. No one is going to buy an expensive Chevy, but at least the Caddy’s can keep an average luxury price while baking in the cost of batteries.

Neutral:

Long hauls typically require a big truck. ;)

That’s quite an early age for dementia.

They knocked it out of the park on this one.

Not that weird. They’re already all over Detroit (manufacture vehicles). You’ll get used to them. Used to them in the sense that they’ll feel normal, but you still stop and stare every time one rolls by.

I can guarantee you there is not a market for either a Fiat 500, nor a small electric vehicle.

Ah yes, just Lance Stroll the situation.

At this point the country of origin just a branding identity. Think Mini or Ferrari.

Between this Koenigsegg and that Mclaren, I was like “wow” these manufacturers are really producing some works of art this year.

We need to implement a new rule around here:

It literally took all day too. Jalopnik seems to be one of the last places to have posted about this car.

What?

The Bangle Butt returns!

That’s why I left ebola and malaria out of the equation as they are much more geographically tied to certain regions. Even if the transmission and mortality rate are higher in China due to their conditions, that is the only data we have and to treat it any differently would be working on pure speculation.

The difference is the flu has a mortality rate of 0.1% and Covid-19 has a mortality rate of 2%. Which means we could see 20 times more deaths from Covid-19 than the flu, provided a similar transmission rate. And that’s what they’re trying to stop.

It’s probably not as panic worthy as everyone is making out to be, but it does have a decently high mortality rate (2-3%) and an extremely high transmission rate. So in an effort to save 2-3% of the population, all the goverments can do at this point is delay and get enough time to roll out prevention measures for the…

Could it be because they’re now producing the iD3... which is basically an e-Golf that is better in almost every way?

Right, the economy would most likely be better than what’s happening now if they let the virus run rampant. But due to containment efforts by the governments, the economy is suffering. Governments are looking for the long term benefits to society and the economy, rather than the short term profits that may affect the…

I talked to a guy some years back at a performance racing convention some years back that personally knew Eric Buell. I guess Harley killing the brand literally brought him to tears, and he’s not the type of guy to tear up.
