Funny that the original WCSIBer responded first. This has to be the most boring list of car suggestions from Jalopnik, so its no wonder readers are losing interest.

I think Virginia’s supply of Good Luck for the month was used up in this one incident.

I’m going to Imola this year and hoping for a great experience. A purpose built track in a town rich with racing history has to be good. Any tips for getting to and from the track by car?

Do you ever drive the course? I was there at the end of March for business and did a lap in my rental car. Pretty cool that the grandstands, walls and fences are in place. Sure I was only going 1/10th the speed, but looked and felt neat.

Perhaps active shutters could be incorporated to open and close the wheel arches as required. What’s a few extra motors? ;)

Survey all your relatives on how much they like to parallel park. I’d bet a solid 75% would LOVE this idea, and would pay for it.

Its a preemptive move by MB, for when the car inevitably runs out of charge, one of the passengers can go for help on the scooter!

I would love a modern El Camino.

So the batteries don’t get charged by the gas engine, or regen under braking on Plug-in hybrids? Or just some models? I’ll have to research that.

I wonder if plug-in hybrid EVs are stepping stone to full electric, or an end itself. I have a hard time thinking a full EV will offer what I need. Plug-in hybrid however, seems to check most of the boxes. If they can reduce emissions by half (normal commuting on electric only) and no limits to travel distance with…

“Ignoring the fact that a lot of workers get paid shit, people also need to stop living beyond their means while they’re making shit...”

Or showing a $3 B loss could be a way to say that EV production will need massive government subsidies to hit 100% in 10 years. Keep those rebates comin’.

This is insanity on both sides.

That motor must burn a lot of it too.

It looks good on paper (pixels), but in reality, its not at all compelling.

I thought white was their preferred corporate color.

“plans to build an assembly plant in North Carolina — a place that is famously in the United States”

Ya, pretty much a poser truck. Street tires with a lift kit and bed too short to carry a short surfboard.

Whats the tow rating on the GT?

I’ll wait for actual road tests on northern frost heaved and potholed roads. Lets see if the trim and body rattles apart in my world.
