In what way was the Eclipse hatch more practical than the GTI/Golf?

I still find that the Hummer was suggested—and made this list—funny. Vehicles have only moved closer to the Hummer styling; getting larger, bulkier, more off road looking, smaller windows, more aggressive looking. Heck, the Hummer EV styling picks right up where this thing left off.

How do we even know that? For all we know, she fully supports her husband.

Don’t forget, that ethanol in gasoline is a huge subsidy to the farming industry.

Booo, hisssss.  They are great.

But you don’t seem to be suggesting it’s bad because it’s aged poorly.  It seems like you’ve never liked it.

I remember when 2Fast2Furious used a 3rd gen eclipse, and I was just like, “No, just no.”

Nah, pre-New Edge SN95's are the worst. Look so dated compared to the New Edge updates.

What!?!?!  They aren’t the coolest cars in the world, but I’m not sure how their design has aged poorly.  I’d argue you could release their designs today and it would only take some really minor tweaks to make them look appropriate.

They were so cool at the time.  Now they look like cheap strip lights.

Not sure this correctly answers the question, but I’ve always felt Ford is really good at making previous generations of F150 look dated with the release of each subsequent version. That’s not saying they make it look bad, but with each new generation, the previous one somehow suddenly looks 5~10 years more dated than…

Buy more connectors to quick connect a battery tender and permanently leave it on your bike. Makes hooking it up easy and convenient. Most of those connectors can be used to hook up a phone charger too.

Subaru must buy the shittiest batteries.  The forums are full of posts from people asking if it’s normal for a battery to only last 2, 3 or 4 years.  Only got 4.5 years out of mine (Outback) and 3.5 years on my wife’s (Forester).

I used $3.50 just as a bit of a future proofing. Right now I’m paying in the $2.90's. I didn’t want to be accused of trying to tip the tables in the regular Prius’s favor by using an unrealistically low gas price.

Which is just silly, because your initial reply was basically talking about future unknown battery technologies.  So again, it’s silly to apply today’s battery limitations to that of unknown future options.

Nope.  And I’m guessing you won’t find any until they get closer to viability/ramp up (if they ever get there).

You’ve applied a lot of limitations to today’s batteries, to potential future battery technologies that might not have the same limitations.

How in depth for this calculation should we be getting here?  Should I be doing a Net Present Value calculation for that ~$4.5k difference in MSRP and what a potential buyer could be doing with that extra $4.5k in their pocket had they saved it up front?

No. You are off. Prime has a 13.6kWh battery and claims a full electric range of 39 miles. That’d be 2.85 miles/kWh, not 6.
