“Why must EVs seemingly always have to be compromised by being tiny two-door cars just slightly too small for people like my parents to take interest in still?”

Thank God I’m gay.

Here’s another question: What’s the energy return on the energy invested? If it takes more to make and install these buggers than they would ever give back over their lifetime, there’s no point.

Looked out at my manual transmission CR-Z, had same thought.

Interesting, practical, unique, small, reliable, weird, different, not too insanely fast, but fun to drive? Have I got an answer for you! (That no one will agree with.)

But isn’t it still slower, despite the horsepower and torque?

I own one. I’m not saying they’re attractive to everyone (though I like its looks), but it definitely stands out and gets attention.

The end of hydraulic steering, the declining availability of manuals on desirable cars, electronic nannies you can’t override... No, I don’t think so.
