Agreed.
Agreed.
You are 100% correct as it relates to today’s technology, however my comment is focused on FUTURE tech and design trend. On that point, do you honestly believe EV tech (and yes towing ability w/EV) won’t improve over the next decade plus?
I think the Mach E grille, or the faux black grille on early Model S cars are there to satisfy our current expectation of what the front of a car should look like. While I agree nobody likes a boring plain plastic front end and there should be something interesting there, I don’t agree that it has to be a grille.…
Comparing the grille opening for an EV like the Model S to the new Tahoe/Burb is like comparing the size of Delaware to Texas.
#2 actually makes the case for unintentional brand loyalty as they’ll continue buying from that dealer/brand out of convenience...but if you don’t have a product to get them in the door to begin with, then they will switch to a dealer/brand that does serve them.
As we move towards electrification, front grilles will soon be seen as a passe design element of a bygone era of vehicles powered by ancient ICE technology. When that happens the bigger the grille, the worse they’ll look to the modern consumer. As a big, thirsty, 98% grille faced elephant, I can think of no better…
Coming soon, an ad campaign for this report staring hotels.com’s very own Captain Obvious.
100% This. As to how sad this situation is, a 1990 4Runner in immaculate condition but with just over 100K miles sold on BaT last year for $10,250. In the very least, this car is worth $10K but it’s clearly worth more than that given the condition. In my mind that’s beyond reasonable margin of error and is now in the…
I think we need an article on what are now considered “basic features” in the year 2020 because today’s “basic” is way more feature rich than it was 10-20 years ago. To that point Ford isn’t looking to de-content “basic” features customers care about like power windows or A/C, looks to be more odds and ends.
Prepaid fuel is for business travelers with corporate cards. It’s easier than filling it themselves and they’re not paying for it anyway so who cares?
I rent cars weekly from all sorts of airports including Denver and you’re clearly doing it wrong.
The strap did work and that’s my point.
At $23K with a “Price is negotiable” tag on there, I’d call this the best and ONLY way to get a Maserati sedan: depreciated and mostly de-risked with a new engine. Maserati is a crack pipe brand but for those looking for crack, this is the one to buy.
If Nissan’s goal is to be the number one brand of rental car fleets then they’ve already won.
If we were talking about a proper luxury brand I’d agree with you but since we’re talking about Bugatti, I disagree. Since VW took over Bugatti, the brand has been a showcase of top level engineering and performance. The fastest 0-60 times out there, the highest top speed out there, engines with four turbochargers,…
We’re not talking about a C-Class Mercedes here, we’re taking about a car with a 7 digit price tag. I’d you can afford it, you don’t need the badge.
Especially when you consider a Model S is only .2 seconds slower 0-60 than a Bugatti Chiron. EV is a performance equalizer which means Bugatti better find something else to justify the price tag other than exclusivity.
To be fair Audi EV price is also >>> Ford EV price.
