You’re apparently accustomed to an entirely different bicycle culture than I am. 

Samsung already builds cars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Samsung_Motors

Two things.

Also, the S3 is big. I’m six-foot and had the saddle adjusted pretty low, while my 5' 8" partner found the bike a bit too big for her to ride

You see some manufacturers using an artificially low GVWR for some of their vehicles, so these vehicles can be driven with a normal license. This is mostly true for vans; Sprinter, Transit and the like. Had GM not waved the white flag in Europe a few years ago, I assume they’d do the same for the high GVWR versions of…

Before my time. So, I went to youtube. And I apparently recognize all the songs. The old ones at least.

Currently living in Germany, I am with you that the public transportation here is too expensive. Excluding the 9 euro ticket, obviously. It only really makes financial sense if you buy a monthly or yearly subscription and use that subscription 4+ times a week. So, for commuting. This assumes you own a car regardless…

I’ve driven my 1987 convertible to Italy and back. In 2021. For a road trip, you kind of have to treat it like a motorcycle in some ways. Wearing motorcycle ear plugs made it so much better at highway speeds. They filter out the wind noise and leave most of the rest. On the German Autobahn I cruised at 180 with peaks…

I was only suggesting exempting batteries, not whole vehicles. Obviously, a Hummer EV with its batteries removed is still a behemoth.

the annual cost of registration for these giant trucks and SUVs would go from $155 to $500.

Exactly! In the European market VW is about as conformist as it gets.

Canadians are also guaranteed at least two weeks vacation every year

Among the very best not-subcompact hot hatches unique to the 90s. So quite a decent pick.

I have a 6 weeks old son and a 22 year old Peugeot 406 coupe. And, obviously, a rear facing carseat. By Recaro.

PSA (Peugeot Citroën) bought Opel from GM in 2016 or so.

In Europe, Stellantis sells these as EVs.

Of all the major auto manufacturers, Stellantis has been the most neanderthal about changing their ways when it comes to going electric
