They are, though... that’s why it’s even sadder.

If you’ve got a 120V outlet, you can charge a PHEV every day. Charging a full EV is a lot more difficult for most. Some might also have charging at work, but not at home, or charging they can’t rely on (one or two stations in an apartment complex). Maybe you go on road trips a few times a year and don’t want to worry…

So you have a place to plug in every day?

A ‘Prime’ Camry (assuming its possible) would be perfect for me in a few years. Or you know what would be better, like a properly sporty version of the Rav4 Prime. A few inches lower with decent suspension and halfway decent tires...I’d buy one.

Go look at the Land Cruiser for sale ads. Apparently mileage doesn’t matter with that group as well.

That’s a mod. Factory it had a large single goldish colored cover. Source: I own one. 

This is a terrible compromise. So much pork. Not as quick as pure EVs. And all that BMW complication. Still requires a plug to get the EV benefit (and needs to be plugged in more frequently).

Uh oh. You brought up ‘left-foot braking’...prepare for this discussion to veer off-course.

Exactly. Just what the world needs is moms with 3 car seats in cars with 1100 horsepower or the elderly that confuse the accelerator with the brake pedal. Speed was not an issue with most cars for the past 10 years or so. EV’s should be more focused on getting the most range from each kilowatt. So many of them are…

EVs with eleventy-billion horsepower and instant acceleration. What could possibly go wrong in the hands of the unwashed masses, even when they are working properly - never a given with a Tesla product.

As an addendum to this, I always thought the Fox-body Mercury Capri was better looking than the contemporary Mustang:

67-70 Mercury Cougar over 67-70 Mustang

I feel like the only reason the Cordoba sold so well was because of Ricardo Montalban.

The early 80's Chrysler Imperial:

JCPenney? that looks more like Flagg Bros.

never before have relief and disappointment been such close bedfellows

Not a terrible price, but speaking as someone who used to restore these, they aren’t really fit for human occupation. Jaguar design staff must have been shaped different in the 1950s and 1960s than the rest of humanity. The seats, while adjustable, are not really adjustable enough or in the correct directions. The…

It’s an article about a car. Owned by a dude famous for “driving” cars in bad movies. And famous for owning a racing team. And famous for dying in a famous car. I’m not sure why this article feels so out of place for you on an automotive blog. Just because it speaks about how he was also famous for having a preference…

He’s bringing shitfaced back!
