At this point it will need its mid cycle refresh before it even hits full production.

Hyundai and Kia.

Dealerships have nothing to do with whether a lease holder can buy the car at the end of the lease. They literally cannot prevent you from doing that if you want to and your lease has that option; it is between the leasing company and the person who signed the contract.

“...the dealership won’t let you buy out your lease”

the dealer signs a contract that allows you to buy your car and the price of it in advance they can’t stop you

No, that was only for 3rd party buyouts.  The individual purchase option is built into the lease. 

If a customer wants to buy at the end of their lease, how exactly is the car dealer stopping them?

Well yeah, they didn’t want to, but the lease (contract) says what it says. Ford tried to loophole out of it with the Mach-E, but I’m pretty sure that went nowhere.

How does a dealer refuse to let you buy your lease? That's something they are obligated to do. I would think a quick call to corporate would solve that problem. 

Remember when they introduced a water-cooled bike for the 21st century and their community of riders wildly accepted its forward-thinking and it became the best-selling model that’s still made today? /s

They’ll slow play this until the cosplaying boomer dentists die off.  Good riddance to them.

Cars that will never even get close to being made don’t have to be practical. 

By the sheer number of decked out lifted bro-dozers running around, apparently $100K is for the masses. 🤷‍♂️

Finally, a hybrid supercar for the ‘masses’. At least in theory, anyway. I think it’s fucking badass. But the E-Ray name sounds lame and is way too try hard. I think it should have been called ZE6 or EO6.

I mean it starts at $31k, it’s basically just a nice improvement on the Civic for a reasonable price. If it were a $45k car I could understand taking issue with it, but it’s frankly a decent deal for what it is. I’d say it’s not really luxury, but then again it’s also not priced as a luxury car, just the premium…

No one needs a car with real wood and leather adorning every surface that was hand picked by an artisan.

“It’s business as usual for us in the state of Michigan...”. So late title delivery , etc. Typical of government crackdowns on businesses.  Once they have the business at a point where the average person would assume something is going to change, the business makes a slight "concession" and the threat goes away. …

I am never quite sure what to call a non-plug-in hybrid, other than a non plug in hybrid so i tried to simplify to traditional.  Probably should have just stuck with the tried and true, so thats my bad.

It’s the “sneaking back in the house after golf with the boys lead to 5 hours at the strip club” mode.
