You’re absolutely right, it’s not like there’s a niche of buyers that prefers smaller and cheaper cars, ESPECIALLY not those living in large cities, or don’t want to spend anywhere near $40k on average for a new car.

Nope, couldn’t be anyone in America.

I’d love a small EV but very few are willing to offer them. There’s the Leaf, Mini Cooper SE, and Chevy Bolt off the top of my head, but it’s either range or personal preference keeping me out of all of them.

If they bring this to the US though I can build the perfect two EV garage. Park this next to my Triumph TE-1…

Yikes, I’m glad they’re alright. The result would’ve definitely been different had it been any one of these new trucks/SUVs, I mean, the numbers couldn’t lie. I would think that politicians have an inherent need or want to solve problems and pedestrian fatalities should be a prioirty, but as long as they continue to…

It’s scary when you drive around in a regular car and you’re not sitting any higher than the foglights on these things. Vehicles once considered normal in size are all of a sudden dwarfed by the *SHEER MASS* of these behemoths. It’s worse when you realize so many of these people are riding alone and a good number of…

This is what I’m particularly afraid of too, and I’ve seen several stories about kids playing in the driveway and getting run over by their parents because these things have literally no downward visibility. Not sure if that’s by design so you can’t see or sympathize with the people you’re flattening, but once you get…

So many things are the issue here from horrible infrastructure to increasingly distracted driving, but here’s one that will help: banning large trucks and SUVs, which are now the majority vehicle on today’s roads. That may be impossible, so curbing their accessibility would be a start. Impose a weight tax that favors…

Sounds like a bunch of mad scalpers, boomers, NIMBYs, and pavement princes reminding us that they have problems too. But if these guys are making a big deal out of this, it sounds like 0-60 in 3.5 seconds from an SUV won’t make them happy, therefore it’s likely that nothing will.

There are three EVs that can convince me to buy into them here in the US:

My parents are quite frugal save for my mom’s handbag collection. Which honestly isn’t crazy, but she’s way past Michael Kors or Marc by Marc Jacobs, featuring Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs (seriously, use less of your name on the bag and maybe your store will have more traffic). That said, I wouldn’t…

So many people are on a reservation list for this thing and Dodge’s reputation is built on *exciting* cars, but also comparing it to the V8 siblings (or anything fun-to-drive like a Miata or a Type R) would be pretty unfair. I wanna ask how *exciting* will it be to drive over a comparable vehicle in this segment?

If smaller cars were actually sold here in greater variety, I wouldn’t have so much trouble finding a new car. Smallest car you can get from Audi is the A3/S3 which, while great, are still too much car for someone like me.

This better make it on the list.

While I’m on the fence about this, I personally think that the average age of a politician and the age of just about everyone currently in power around the world begs to differ with this statement.

I honestly think that cars are just expensive, and they’ve been getting more costly with inflation and the general rising cost of living. It’s not just a car thing with gas, food, and other necessities increasing across the board. I’ve been looking for a new daily motorcycle and the prices for bikes hasn’t really…

I thought GTA 5 was joking with the car pricing schemes, but now I can see that they’re actually quite accurate.

$700k+ for what was normally a $100k car is about what I’d expect to see in the game, and now it’s the real deal!

Can’t say I didn’t see 1st Gear coming. VinFast has a store at Irvine Spectrum and I walk by it all the time to the tune of two salespersons per customer that wanders in. And it certainly doesn’t help when the car you build for the same money as a Tesla is underwhelming in every conceivable way. Seems the CEO is…

Having lived, worked, studied, and even just driven through here, I agree that this is a place I would never have the displeasure of returning to for longer than the few hours it takes to see my friends. Between sweltering heat, lack of walkable infrastructure and smoky exhaust air, I can argue that this is a place…

False research. I’m at 1.5" normally and 2" on Viagra and I don’t even drive. What else can I compensate with?

I grew up a huge car enthusiast. I still kinda am, but what really changed my perspective on them was driving in traffic on a long commute in a 2006 Toyota Prius.

My commute was 2 hours, 30 minutes in one direction on a good day in LA and I did this for a year and a half. Five days a week I would throw away 5-6 hours…

An actual, true-to-its-name shitbox. We think getting kids cheap cars is a great idea until the safety features on them (or lack thereof) are completely blindsided by a soccer mom in a Suburban texting behind the wheel, doing 30+ over what she should be on her way to get a unicorn frappuccino from the local Starbucks.…
