I think it’s real fugly, but to each their own.

For all the Tesla haters out there (including yours truly): Tesla would actually be a better-run car company without Space Boy. 

One piece at a time and it didn’t cost you a dime.

1st Gear: I would say that Ford’s claim is not too far off. When you are taking your most popular vehicle and introducing an electric version, it is a huge thing.

My brand new engine (7K miles) in Kia was do for first oil change. It’s leaking oil. Rear main seal is bad. 7K miles and a bad rear main seal is pretty bad. While the tranny is out, I asked them to check the clutch, might as well replace it now the it has 78K miles. I guess the CV joints will go out next. It’ll make…

As goes IPAs the level of hopping and extra ABV involved originally for preservative use was much, much lower than we tend to see today. And the way the hops were used was much, much different. Hops were added very early in the brewing process and boiled in the wort a lot longer than is current process.

So the beers…

They have gone down in the sense that we are getting superior cars for nearly the same inflation-adjusted money.

The best choice for the masses is still “hybrid” but please continue your rich-guy entitled rant.

It’s really the ‘market adjustment’ prices that are an issue right now. MSRP percent change hasn’t risen much the last 5 years. Some models, sure, but overall, fairly consistent and predictable bumps over the last 5 years from the manufacture. The real change now is the dealership market adjustments. I think prices…

Don’t forget to add in maintenance costs into your calculations. My Bolt requires two cabin air filters in 130k miles, that’s it. And what’s your time worth? Rough napkin math tells me that in the 45k miles I’ve driven the Bolt I’ve saved about 34 hours of standing at a filling station pumping gas. I know it won’t…

Ugg, need to go car shopping soon and I already know this is going to be such a shitshow.

Nah I can whine, especially after they told me they’d cover the cost outright. 

“It was ultimately found that my Sonata was using a quart every thousand miles. Somehow Hyundai called this normal.”

Its not about buyers giving staying power, its about MFG’s earning it. While this seems like a decent car, I can’t see anything that is overly competitive about this car and frankly, I (and I assume others as well) find the battery subscription extremely offputting. What additional benefits do I unlock for the cost of…

As the owner of a 2nd generation Insight, I found the 3rd iteration attractive for its efficiency, but lacking the practicality of my hatchback. Honda already had two Hybrid sedans in their lineup, but no hatched hybrids at the time.

I’m glad Honda has realized that selling a slightly different version of an existing car under a totally different name isn’t a good business move.

I had no idea there was a PHEV A7 - sounds pretty sweet! Youve got a very nice set up for yourself.

Which is fine if that’s what he’s doing, but he doesn’t drive enough for “gas prices” to be a relevant consideration, especially considering he’s willing to buy a car in this market, rather than waiting a bit. 

Do people like this really exist? “I’ve been paying high gas prices for a month. Time to buy a BRAND NEW CAR”

So it’s not a full electric and it will clock in a bit over budget, but I wanted to offer up an A7 PHEV as an option. When my wife received a car allowance as part of a new job, we decided to get into an A7 which up until that point was more than we wanted to spend on a car. But fortunately, you can still take…
