This is paranoid libertarian nonsense. There are plenty of countries around the world with far better public transit options than most of the US and not one of them bans cars from the general public or on public roads.
There really is a middle ground between excess and scarcity; it’s called tasteful moderation. Some Americans ought to try it sometime.
1. I can understand people thinking of sedans and wagons as boring, but it’s beyond my comprehension how coupes, the traditional form factor of pony/muscle and sports cars as well as personal luxury pimpmobiles from the 70s/80s, could be seen as boring compared to crossovers, the epitome of automobile-as-appliance.
No, we hate that automakers think their lineup has to be 60+% crossovers.
On that last paragraph, here’s a better idea: How about we all start looking at taxes as the cost of living in a civilized country instead of theft by the big bad government and you know, FIX those garbage roads?
Because automakers keep pulling the plug on “low” cars which are less likely to kill a pedestrian, less likely to roll over, and have lower wind resistance translating to better fuel economy in addition to being sleeker and more fun to drive and replacing them with crossovers that have little differentiation beyond…
You mean Tungsten, Magma, and Nimbus, right?
More of these, fewer S/CUVs.
Don’t you guys get it? This vehicle is designed for when the 99% finally get fed up with being treated like cattle and violently rebel against the 1%. Bulletproof glass that’ll make the rocks/Molotov cocktails bounce off. Sharp angles to cut through crowds of rioting plebs.
Good. EVs don’t have an engine for pedestrians to smack their head on when they decide their phone is more important than paying attention to traffic, so there’s no need for high hoods.
The other guitarist in my band recently had a job interview with Uber. He didn’t get the job, largely because he didn’t give them the answers they were looking for when they asked him about how soon they could possibly make their vehicles 100% accident free.
Part of the problem is they had to put cars on the same-ish level as SUVs. So let’s just get rid of SUVs and then we’ll see more reasonable beltlines again. They never should have been allowed to be sold as passenger vehicles in the first place.
It’s...not bad, but I’d rather they had made a liftback sedan like the Model S. Of course, this is 2019, so EVERY new model MUST be a crossover, because that’s what soulless shareholders the market demands.
Can’t believe I had to come down this far to find this.
Chevrolet will never seriously market an EV in the States until they can make an electric motor for a Silverado HD that makes loud yet fake V8 noises to protect their owners’ fragile masculinity.
I admittedly wasn’t around then, but it seems to me like if you chose a Mustang II over a Maverick Grabber, you were doing it wrong.
Modern roofs are too rounded for T-tops. Maybe if Chrysler came out with a new Cordoba based on the Challenger that could work, but nothing else.
