this isn’t appreciated enough

Lets see how this compares to the Ford Escape. If it’s anything like the previous MKC, road noise will be awful and ride quality will be horrendous. 

I wish more companies made personal EV coupes. they don’t sell, but damn they can be great commuter cars and good to look at

Neutral: If Tesla can some how fix their leasing model, they’d probably have a humongous jump in sales. They don’t lease lower trim S and X, and there is no leasing option for 3. Tesla is still cool and will be the electric car to have, until the competitors show up.

Notable mention to add for engaging transmissions: Hyundai DCT. It’s just as quick and capable as VW’s DSG, even though it’s dry.

when was the last time you’ve heard of a toyota tech working on a toyota, let alone a toyota in the shop?

Pretty confident it has better rear room than a Volt/Focus/Cruze. Door opening might be a different story though.

Have you actually sat in the back of a bolt or folded it’s rear seats? You’re obviously not buying a Model S for storage space, so don’t discount the bolt until you do.

Call me old fashioned, but I eventually want an electric bike with standard electro-mechanical gauges. Screens just seem kinda played out now.

And like the old Focus ST got in non-U.S. markets, this one has a diesel option too...

that was an amazing take

STOP COVERING JIMNY NEWS. IT’S MAKING ME MAD JEALOUS AND SAD.

So... let me get this straight...

If you lower it, it’s considered a wagon, right?

How about keep the same platform/chassis, save the development costs for an updated interior, exterior and more power? Keep the platform for another 5-10 years.

Accord 2.0T Sport. Get one while they still exist...

When is it going to be sold in the States???
