Fenske explains some things well, but here he is a few volts short. He doesn’t even acknowledge the difference in-

The short term answer is already in Mazda’s toolbox. They used a capacitor storage system for short term bursts of energy. This would give the Miata an electric boost and not boost weight too much if coupled with a small lightweight belt starter/booster/alternator. The parts are all on their shelves, just need the…

One question I have is where is the impact absorbtion from a frontal impact?How will shops repair this thing from collusions? As a biker I’d love to have this to carry my bikes, the ramp would make loading a no brainer. And as a mega commuter I love the range of this thing but I’d have to see it in person to see how…

Hey, let’s needlessly complicate, add extra steps, extra cost and a cool little light with lots more things to go wrong on something that should be as easy to understand as falling off a log !!! OR, we could make cars that people actually want to buy (Other than a mustang) 

Mustang, aside from F 150, already taken, is Fords most recognizable and well loved name.  It makes sense on one level to tie into a well respected and cherished nameplate.  The amount of money they spent on this you can forgive them for not borrowing another iconic Ford name, like Edsel.  Specs look pretty good, but…

It looks cool, but just wait until the second owner needs to get a new top sewn and installed. That would put a serious damper on things. Why Caddy has no convertible is just plain dumb. Convertibles are all about bringing the bling. Seeing and being seen. That the tip brand in GM's portfolio has none while Mercedes…

Its a great engine architecture, especially when one considers it's its cost effective and easy to package

It will be fascinating to see how gm engineers deal with the vibration issues inherent in the flat plane v8 crank engine.  I'd be surprised if production engine is really 5.5 liters as vibration gets intense with more displacement

Thank you so much for your input. Real world experience is extremely important.  Our commutes are pretty darn similar in length, mine is almost exactly equal to your fifty mile one way trip. I have a dealer near me and they are really good people.  I’m gonna look at one on your recommendation.

THAT is comment of the day in my book. Well done!!!

The lowered rear window seems to “Stuck up” when lowered. That detail bothers me for some reason. Having owned many convertibles through the years I support Chevy in making this version. Love the coupe and maybe it will look different behind the wheel and it won’t be noticeable but to me it stands out like a sore…

Nice write up. Thought about one of these, but another publication tested the real world range, it really drops FAST on the highway. Like half the range at normal highway speeds. Less if you REALLY pin it much.

It’s funny how many armchair pundits actually think they know anything about what our government has been doing in secret for decades. Even funnier that pseudo journalists play a little game of I know a little of this and a little of that and jump to conclusions that aren’t even silly wild educated guesses. If Trump…

As a convertible owner going back to my 66 red Mustang I have a term for this.  Actually I only need one word-  “BRISKING” which describes the sensation of having your senses heightened by the cold whipping around you, but not penetrating into you.  It’s one of the delights of convertible ownership.

That Biden is the front runner in the democrat party of the USA in 2019 is ALL you need to know. 

Gimme a hybrid and I might, might trade in my Scion XB. Might.

Funny article, but as with most humor there is more than a grain of truth here about the hypocrisy of those who wish to lecture we, the great unwashed masses.

Uh oh, Cadillac’s worst nightmare is coming true. A deep dark recession on the horizon- which spells belt tightening. And Lincoln has awakened from the dead to take a bite out of their taxpayer funded lunch money. It’s been said MILLIONS of times but apparently Caddy management lives in another universe, you spend the…

I said it on another forum and Herr Juechter is already on record as stating the paddles already control the downshifts, AND pulling both paddles back puts the engine in ‘Neutral’ and releases both clutches. Add in a pedal, shifter mechanism (software connected, rather than rods and linkages) and software revisions…

I like the idea of having a national conversation on this issue. We need to do that on MANY issues actually. We should not, however, delude ourselves into thinking that this will necessarily influence policy on this matter. A nation facing extraordinary circumstances will likely use WHATEVER means necessary despite…
