Brah, so if LAPD pisses on your cat does that mean you can never sell it? Dummy.

I agree. Toyota is in its lane and even if the tech isn’t a dead end Toyota doesn’t need to pay for the R&D when it can just wait for it to mature and then do a better job making the vehicles. That’s Toyota’s business model.

I think they are saying mainstream but mean universal. 

they could call it the OverVoltage. because it’s a Volt-based crossover. That catches on fire.

for that to work cops would have to start making reports instead of telling you to stop wasting their time.

it’s only profitable if you do it in volume. what are you going to do, quit your job to do this?

except that LAPD isn’t etching “this is stolen” onto them. scrappers could and would still claim they didn’t know they were stolen. i mean everyone knows these are coming off of cars that have VIN numbers anyway.

Awwww I loved my Element. Sounds like I was more OK with it than you but I agree. My biggest interior gripe was it was supposed to be a utility vehicle but the plastics were so soft that I could scratch them with my fingernails. After like 2 years the back area looked like I’d been driving loose concrete bricks around…

I wonder if there are more EVs on the road than I notice. I still notice nearly every Tesla I see, and the Hyundai/Kia ones are distinctive. But I know I look right past the VW EVs and I couldn’t tell you what other EVs even look like. The main reason I’m curious is I am a typical middle-income Los Angeles resident,…

yah but the existing network already exists. the number of stalls at charging locations is already set and the ones i’ve seen don’t look like they could be easily expanded.

I can understand not wanting to pay a lot more for a car that looks so much like a Civic. But the Civic is a really good looking car to begin with and I’m seeing it as less and less of a negative. If I wasn’t so old and living in a city that makes a manual transmission a hassle most of the time even for the young, I…

are Tesla people bummed out about the Ford and GM riff-raff taking up spaces at the chargers?

NP. Sell the Euro bumpers to someone in the US and the US headlights to someone in Europe. That will make up the $5500. Part out then scrap what’s left for profit. Pat myself on the back for doing the right thing by erasing this monstrosity.

Polestar-ish looks. 275 mile range. 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. Claimed starting price of $35k. As someone that doesn’t need a larger vehicle than this, I’m interested and I won’t cry if Volvo sells a lot of them. This article reminds me of “fans” that turned on The Cure when Disintegration came out. If their relative…

isn’t the Lightning’s towing capacity like 2 tons lower than the regular F150?

well i’ll do my part by not buying one. the front looks terrible.

I think you’re right about trying to look like an Excalibur. Also just in general, if a bunch of manufacturers are trying to ape a specific style from the past instead of trying to do something new, they are going to look alike.

Detention? Come on guys, it’s the first sentence.

NP. I wouldn’t bother with an old Z that wasn’t manual and twin turbo’d, but this one looks great for under 9k.
