I’m sure it’s a technical and engineering masterpiece and that more “aggressive” looking versions will be on the way, but form what I’ve seen so far I think that visually the exterior is a step backwards from the Huracan. It’s a bit “tame” for the most part, until you get to the rear and all of a sudden it’s insanely…

I agree. I’m not a fan of turbo everything. I understand why they do it, but I also think that it’s completely unnecessary to have road cars making 1,000 hp. 

Yep. This is it, this is the one. That’s the real reason they went with Vance.

Tavares 60% salary increase in April this year, making him the highest paid auto exec, should definitely be called into question.

That’s pretty much exactly where I landed. My current commuter isn’t costing me that much to own and operate. An EV would actually cost me more to own and operate at this point in time. 

Glutton for punishment. 

“I got it because it looks like a Phantom”

Odds of Elon trying to sue reservation holders because they aren’t following through on the purchase?

I think all the headlights are LED, it’s just that not all the trims will have the “full width” light bar along the front. But I could be wrong about that, I’ve not been paying that much attention to this car. 

“Still love the truck though!”

Not just one, but two dorito spinners? Well, that’s the mark of a madman right there, so really no surprise on the Cybertruck.

We got close…. But jaguar rejected the Bertone B99 design. 

Ever since Jaguar announced their plans to become a Bentley competitor I thought the writing was on the wall. Jaguar has made some truly fantastic cars during its history, but Jaguar hasn’t had that level of “premium brand” perception in long time. I wish them luck.

There is zero bicycle friendly infrastructure where I live, except for the last 1/4 mile downtown right before I get to my office. If this was Europe, I’d be on a bike without any hesitation; but sharing the roadways in the U.S., I’m not risking life and limb to bike to work.

The small cheap EVs can’t come soon enough. In the meantime I’ll keep checking prices on used Mini SE’s; that 100 mile range is plenty for my 23 mile daily round trip. 

Once they depreciate it becomes a more palatable option. 

In Virginia we pay personal property taxes on cars, boats, RVs etc. The exact percentage varies by county, but it is based on the assessed value of the vehicle.

For me, I just don’t see the value proposition at this point in time. My current commute is <25 miles round trip, my commuter car gets up to 40 mpg highway, and it has very low maintenance costs. An EV wouldn’t actually be “cheaper to own” once I factored in the higher cost to buy, higher property taxes, higher…

100% on the C8. You do not want to put your cold groceries in the rear trunk. 

The worst part is that you can get this color on just about any car these days… Kia, BMW, Porsche, GM, Ford, everybody seems to have it and it’s just awful. It might have been “unique” when Audi did it as a special option for RS cars 10 years ago, but now it has thoroughly worn out its welcome if you ask me.
