Some electric models can only be leased new, such as the Fit EV.

Seriously, how do people miss this fact. If they got rid of the tax, the numbers would probably look very similar to most other countries in the world.

If it takes eight years to pay the car off, the technology in it will be older than that keyboard-having Blackberry you still keep in the nightstand you don’t need to be looking at buying/leasing any new car.

2nd Gear: People In Norway Are Buying A Lot Of Hybrids And EVs

The popularity of electric cars in Norway doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the weather. In fact, electric cars lose a great deal of range in frigid weather.

If it takes eight years to pay the car off...

my friend and I worked as actual cashiers in a grocery store back in college. When one of the local stores got the first self checkout machine we stopped in to that store (which was a competitor by the way) My friend whose job it was to be a cashier at a grocery store could not figure out the self checkout.

Nah. I dress properly warm. I just find that heated seats are a fast lane to swamp ass.

I have to disagree. I’ve had heated seats and all I end up with is a sweaty ass. I’ll take a heated steering wheel any day. Also, I wish more cars had ventilated seats (not even AC, just forced air). 99% of the time I wish I had less heat in my seats.

Oh I meant it. Kudos!

And the dash of the American car past - my folk’s ‘85 Oldsmobarge Pregnancy 98 had only a fuel gauge and a speedo. Not that the heap of shit needed anything more than that.

I’ve thought about doing an Oppo post about this before. Seems to be a GM thing, and it drives my accountant-OCD brain crazy. On my CTS, 70 mph is straight up, but the speedo goes to 160, which should be 80 in the middle. My mom’s old Delta 88 was similar (I think 60 was straight up), although it was only a 140 mph…

Well, if data on a screen is not the same as a gauge, then that has already happened...
