I pulled someone out of a 997.1 C2S and sold them on a Hellcat. They’re about to get their second Hellcat. I personally got a Hellcat as my DD. Say what you will about the Challenger, the reality is that a Hellcat is a lovely car. The dash may not be covered in the finest materials, but the uConnect and Carplay work…

Exactly.

UAW wages & benefits are not sustainable.

I mean, couldn’t *one* of you have given him a reasonable answer?  The only non-troll answer is the Acadia, and he literally said he had no use for an SUV.  I get that there’s a comedy element, but I thought there were supposed to be a few helpful suggestions?

If it really will be in the 20s with incentives, I have to admit I would be tempted to have it as my “segue” car before more advanced options are available down the road. 

It would have more interior room if it had a skateboard chassis. From the article:

The problem with BMW’s approach is that because they are building it on an ICE platform, it won’t have the packaging benefits of a dedicated BEV. No frunk. Less room in the interior.

Is there any overlap at all between the type of people that a limited range city EV would appeal to and the types of people that a tight handling hot hatch would appeal to?

This is a great effort, assuming it’s still 2015. I haven’t looked outside this morning.

“It is—but what if your office doesn’t offer chargers or you mostly commute by train?....Because despite a deal with VW and ChargePoint, BMW’s not putting resources into a vast charging network the way Tesla did.”

Most every automaker has been around for at least a few generations of management...as well as literal generations of people.

I think it’s just supposed to denote automakers who are coming form a history of producing combustion powered cars that are transitioning to electric vehicles. It’s an easy way to separate them from newer automakers who are producing nothing but EVs. And I mean, given those are two very different realities, I don’t…

The problem with the Camaro right now is easily seen in the following image.

The fact that it’s better looking than every one of the bajillion Camaro variants that have come along since its rebirth in 2009 is either a credit to the Dodge design team, or a damning indictment of the guys over at GM.

Challenger is still cooler-looking and more practical (bigger, more comfortable) than Mustang or Camaro. It may lag behind both in build quality, but it’s one of my favorite currently-available-new-cars despite/because of how anachronistic it is.

What a shit design.
