Who knew a swoopier front end clip with some gold trim and a set of Saab 900 trispokes would transform that generic ID.3 blob!

We should thank more Boomers for their frivolity and lack of financial acumen or we’d never have reasonably priced, low-mile S-Classes on the used car market. 

If you bought a brand new S Class, you made a piss poor decision, considering the depreciation is akin to a rock falling off a cliff.

May need to amend that soon to saying if not in an EQS 580 Merc.

What we really need is a reorganization of society to minimize the usefulness of cars. Clinging to them makes abandoning fossil fuels a taller order, even if they are fully electrified, not only because of the carbon footprint of manufacture (which can be reduced) but because of the energy waste they represent. Every…

They’re just... boring. I was shopping for an electric for my wife and everything was universally bland. Sure, a tesla on insane mode is fast in a straight line, but the feeling that the car would be even faster if I wasn’t even in it is really noticeable. I want a Fiesta ST or Fiat 500 Abarth electric. Something…

2nd Gear: I’m a bit disappointed there’s not some joke in there about Jaguar/Land Rover not suffering from a chip shortage because there will never be a shortage of Lucas parts or they long ago cornered the market on vacuum tubes or something... I didn’t say it was a good joke.

i came to the comments to make this exact point. i own a brz not because it’s gasoline, but because it’s engaging to drive, and it doesn’t have an ipad haphazardly bolted to the dash like every other car.

It was a fine parade, but when does the race actually start?

Design is going to be the only real way to give these cars character, and frankly design alone isn't enough for me and I'm sure many enthusiasts feel the same way.

My thoughts exactly. I don’t want an crossover or a weird, quirky little spaceship, and I’m not a one-percenter that doesn’t flinch when the price of admission starts at $90K, so what does the market offer for me? Exactly nothing. So far, at least.

Not a production car, but Teslonda isn't short on character.

Meanwhile I’m over here trying to become a stay-at-home trophy husband 

You know what’s probably a bigger factor holding back EV in the auto enthusiast community? Aftermarket tuning, which is massively frowned upon by Musk and manufacturers.

Well for only writing one sentence, you sure whammed the nail on the head--COTD.

Out of curiosity, I just plowed through Dr. Daggett’s article. My immediate reaction is her brain might literally explode if you took her on a quarter mile run in that Hellcat Redeye Charger you just reviewed.

And the ability to tune.

I don’t necessarily believe the bro trucks and muscle car crowd are the ones holding back EV adoption rate. In fact the automotive enthusiast demographics is better than it has ever been previously. Anthony covers it pretty well here:…

What is needed is time, and I’ll even own up that there might not be enough. Cars are tied to many people’s sense of individuality. People take pride in their cars, in their ability to repair or even resurrect their cars. EVs have their party tricks, but they are the vehicular equivalent of appliances, and there will…

Andd the little Honda thing.
