Just good ol’ boys... never meaning no harm...

And carrying a gallon jug of water everywhere can keep you from being thirsty.  But using a water fountain means you don’t have to. And it leaves a ton of space in your bag too.  So does getting rid of the ICE engine.  My family has 2 EVs and a hybrid - so I don’t disagree with your argument completely, but the nicest…

The only nit I’d pick there is that Rovers don’t look sloppily built, they break down. They look very nicely built every time they go in for repair. None of the people (I concede a small sample size) who have a Tesla have had a lot of mechanical trouble. But assembly is for sure not on Toyota levels. A PR person would…

If we are to discuss things, as adults who skipped votech do, it is necessary to comment on the information in a comment and not to simply barf out an ad hominem attack (google it). I am not right or wrong because I like Teslas or don’t. Neither are you. But they do make a car that’s efficient, reasonably sized,…

I really wish they’d stuck with this front end aesthetic instead of sorta generic, japanese car look of the later front ends.  Later cars were a lot easier to live with but not as cool-looking.  I feel like the current Emira, with it’s headlights, looks more like a mid engined C7 than the C8 does.

I would describe this as the first EV, and likely the first car at all, to have Habsburg Jaw.

I don’t have a German car, or a Japanese car, I just find the concept of trying to turn a built-to-price economy car into the real thing is a bit silly. If you’re saving money on it, that’s an honest bargain and great - you’re a smart shopper.  But if somehow you get tricked into thinking that your Honda Civic turbo…

But if you bought the BMW, I bet it wouldn’t be a 1 series without awd, because that’s basically what this is.

I’m thinking a hovercraft covered in disco mirror driven by a Furry would be peak Burning Man.

Just a guess, but given that’s the only version of this car with appeal to enthusiasts, I’d guess that those are the easy sales and that the tougher ones will be the rest, and they’ll be 90 percent of the cars when all is said and done. Because it’s mostly a commodity car with a bit of lux.

I think it’s insane they don’t have a version of the Ridgeline with a hybrid.

I just don’t think it’s that desirable a vehicle when they put a big turbo and some suspension on built-to-price economy car. This is the kind of car people buy, because they can’t afford something like a BMW, it’s not THE BMW!

Pitch it to hollywood!

I agree with every word of this.  Didn’t hate it, the kids seemed happy, but it was like the combined spiderman and iron man and fused it to some Latin American family values but no more or less. 

I saw Gran Turismo with my 10 year old daughter and liked it much better than I expected to.  The only criticism I could honestly throw at it, is they did that “why is he pressing a clutch in a car that has a DCT and paddles????” But the story and the acting was solid.

Duh... It’s RED

This is the first comment that was funny, and constructive.  I think nothing could have helped this car’s appeal more than a small screen for like speed and turn signal indicators.  Even if nothing more. The rest is fine and ventilated seats would be an improvement.

I like Teslas, but I’m not so into them that I know every hardware change.  I do know they make hardware upgrades at random points in model years so it’s possible that there are few changes.  They do a lot of changes that aren’t styling so if you want to be an optimist - Tesla don’t pander to your fashion sense, they…

Ok, so if we ignore the people who yell at clouds and want asthma inhalers with diesel fumes... this was already a car as good as everything that’s come out this year. Your personal taste in styling, or 2 box vs 3 box shapes may vary. You may have an opinion about Twitter or Elon Musk, and that’s cool. You might also…

Remember... drag is free speech :-P
