I’m sorry Chairman, but I think there’s more than one reason the Prius is selling better than the bz4x.

The concept doesn’t have a trunk or hatch. If something like this actually hits the market with a liftback count me in.

from what i’ve seen, you rip out the lock and there’s a tab sticking out that a USB-A plug fits perfectly on and you just twist it like you would a key and off you go. it’s not an electric or electronic or software hack, it’s just the most abundant and conveniently shaped thing to use to twist the tab with.

yes, they do. but when they don’t roll it in and there’s no method to avoid the fee, that makes their advertised pricing for services dishonest.

I assume this is the best-maintained example on earth. I hope whoever buys it drives it.

I was excited about it but then I saw one at a car show and in person it’s wayyyyyyy too obvious that it’s just a 370z with some cosmetic stuff screwed to the front of it.

yeah. your payments can be as low as $0 a month if you just pay $65k in cash.

We used to play Slug Bug with the Pontiac Tran Sport but we would yell SHARK when we punched each other.

The thought of missing a legal opportunity to shoot someone keeps these people up at night, though.

Not for me. It requires less effort. Maybe this is a dumb metaphor but it reminds me of my kids getting older from infancy. I still had to constantly pay attention and be ready to intervene. But the intensity level required went down and it was a lot less tiring. Or like when the oldest was learning to drive. I had to…

I call his supporters orange-nosers.

Woah.

To be fair, those state trooper cars do look pretty cool.

i have only recently seen the yellow arrow, i think that’s a lot clearer and better than a solid round green light.

If this thing had AC I might pay the asking. I’d be overpaying but I might do it. Cool little vehicle especially the wheels, but ND.

I don’t. I thought it was obvious that I was talking about someone that actually wants a Tonale. The Hornet/Tonale is a badge engineering job.

Oh sorry, I didn’t think that R/T PHEV was available until next year.

I saw one of these today on the highway in L.A. It had a matte blue wrap or paint job, it looked fantastic. Not like any other CUV out there.

Yeesh. I just can’t think of a compelling reason to buy this over the Hornet. About a $10K difference? I don’t think it’s worth it for PHEV and great wheels. The rest seems like a wash to me. If it’s not quieter I don’t consider it more luxurious. If it’s going to be loud with a shitty ride it might as well look…

I wonder about the real current market value and its future. I suspect that these have peaked and are on their way down. The people most interested in them are too old to get in and out of one, or getting there. I think it’s a NP if there’s no rust, but I’d much rather look at it than own it.
