Have had both a Bolt and an i3 REx, I agree. One caveat: if you use the four doors often, the Bolt is probably more convenient. The Bolt is also more stable at higher speeds; the i3 was more twitchy (although less so than a Jeep CJ). Everything else? Advantage i3.

Jalopnik - We don’t hate cars

You’re correct.  They’re not using the term subsidy correctly, they’re using it rhetorically for effect.

No money is directly given the US government to oil and gas companies...none.  Man.  The things people believe...

High in dollar amount, low in margin. They have to go a very, very long way, and captialize, plan and build infracture decades before its  running, to make single-digit net profit margins.

I think you need to invent a new word for this article, because none of the aforementioned items in the article qualify as subsidies.

I got my 2018 Q4 TI Sport lease turn-in for cheap, with only 12,000 miles on it! And the car’s been a dream. Reliable as can be, and always willing to scoot whenever the mood arises. As for its looks — I think it’ll be a classic sedan for many years to come. I still get compliments on it, from both those in-the-know,…

I leased a ‘19 Stelvio at like $500/mo. with $0 down because of concerns regarding reliability post-warranty, but bought it out at $24k with under 20k miles once it expired.  Zero maintenance issues so far.

The Cadillac sedan lineup’s sizing has been a mess since the naming culture changed a couple years ago. I think this is supposed to be a slightly inflated ATS, which was too small for any sensible Caddy in the first place.

at the 57K you tested, 60K$ gets you a C43 which is much faster, probably better ride comfort, and 74 standard features. 

 I don’t think enough of a stink has been made about how impractical of a car this is. As it stands, this is the most cramped four-door car you can buy in probably the western hemisphere, but its far from the lightest, smallest, or most efficient. That’s more than enough to take this off of people’s shopping list. 

GM steering wheels are indeed SHITE. That looks like a Chevy Cruze steering wheel from 2011.

Supply/demand and inflation are two separate but connected things. The thing about inflation is that when inflation slows, prices don’t drop. They just rise slower. When the prices of things drop across the board, we have what’s called “depression” and nobody wants that. Apart from that, prices can “inflate”…

“But if car prices are no longer based on supply and demand, rather a pure desire for profit from carmakers, the value of the dollar isn’t really changing. The people taking those dollars from you have just gotten greedier.”

Um....if car prices are staying the same but inflation is at 5%, technically car prices are dropping.

I don’t have a Ford GT. It's my dream car, and just a screen name I grabbed many many years ago when I jumped on a Mustang forum before I got my 2006 Mustang GT. 👍 

Having driven the Evora GT on many occasions as there is one in my garage (wife's car), the manual is fantastic! Direct, with a little bit of notchiness. The term "rifle-bolt action" has been used more than once. I've never had any issues driving it. It's a pleasuee to row through the gears (they are very close) but…

The Emira is just WAY too espensive for what it is. The MSRP right now on the Lotus website is $105,000. That’s just $1k below the MSRP of a GT4 which is verifiably a better can in every single way.

If the Emira was priced competitively to the Cayman S then it would be a decent buy... but ain’t no way in hell would I…

Shouldn’t have to go to another website to get the weight of the car in an article about a new Lotus. “3097 lbs (1405 kgs)“

The sill is low, but at 6'3" here once you duck on entry there is actually a good amount of headroom. The GT-R has a similar problem.
