Bingo.

News flash. The consumers set the price. If there is no one willing to pay that amount, it won't sell, the price will reduce to the least amount a customer will pay.

I don't think your conclusion on the "bigger is safer" section has much meat on it. By your logic, small and nimble motorcycles are, by golly, the safest of all! And, assuming you aren't immune to statistics, you will most likely get in accident at some point in your life, miata, or not.

Not really. The auto industry is pretty good at doing that without my help

Awesome! I fucking love dynamism!!!

Here's the thing we'll never know. The opportunity cost of our maniacal, short-sighted and not necessarily 100% rational obsession with batteries. I mean, it's the obvious alternative to ICE vehicles, not new by any stretch... got it's ass kicked by ICE back in the early 20th century and again mid-century. But, we…

Exactly. It's just not there yet. Folks that insist you don't NEED gas and that EVs are really just as flexible are full of shit. I do believe they will eventually get there... there will be innovation, there always is. But, right now, your best bet is a plug-in hybrid if you just HAVE to have something with electric…

Popular with who? Old folks or self-anointed intellectuals?

Maybe if it truly is a matter of $3, but seriously they are going to treat me like crap as a service customer because of $3X60... 180 dollars? And that makes a customer a cheapskate? How about don't accept deals that the business can't afford? If they can't make money selling 'just the car' maybe that is a problem…

Not really. I didn't mean to come across too sarcastic but I will say in general, the bashing gets a little tiresome on Jalopnik. I like to hear about what people like, not what they don't like... Personally, I just don't see the point in it.

Obviously a horrific and tragic statement against public transportation.

Enough Europeans agree with you which is why they only sell about 2 of them per year over there. Isn't it great that we live in a world where local demand can be met without that being a "problem" for someone, somewhere else, in another country?

Sad that you feel like you need to justify your auto purchase choice... I get why, but sad nonethless. lol.

I like it but it edges into CP territory. If the exhaust and the dent were fixed and I was certain this motor hasn't been thrashed within an inch of it's life, then I might offer $20K for it.
