Sure. The Democrats will cave any day now.

The Acura brand has degraded a lot since the original NSX. It’s been ~20 years since Acura was ‘sporty’. And, the very conservative styling of the NSX only reinforces the ‘it’s for old people’ perception.

It’s really 4 things, with the 4th being ‘legal’.

Agreed.

LX —> EX —> SX

On the highway @ 65mph, I get 31mpg in the much larger and heavier Kia Sedona minivan, and that’s with the largest tires and wheels on the SXL.

I understand why some people think it’s beautiful, but I’m not among them. To my eyes, the proportions aren’t quite right and neither are the lines.

Yes, and it would top out higher with less aero downforce.

I’ve lived on the East Coast most of my life and have never seen or even heard of this. This sounds like a blue-collar, mid-western thing.

Nobody worth paying attention to. Like always, ignore the trolls.

There’s a used LEAF that would like a word with you.

I took a break from working on my brakes to comment on this thread.

You are more right than you probably know. This is exactly what happened.

Absolutely.

This is the correct take. While Ossoff the candidate was not good, the organization that resulted from his campaign absolutely paved the road to McBath’s victory. Without Ossoff, we wouldn’t have McBath.

Correct. Georgia and Florida are not CARB states and the automakers are not required to sell EVs here (I’m in Georgia). When an EV is a CARB-only special, it means the manufacturer is making little to no profit on it and don’t want to bother with states they aren’t required to sell them in.

Correct. And, the problem is not delivery or transport, but service/maintenance. Kia dealers in other states won’t be able to service them. Granted, EV service is near-zero, so you’re fine until there’s a recall or warranty issue.

This analysis is bass-ackwards. Those numbers are *because* they only offer most of their EVs (e.g. Golf EV) in zero emissions (i.e. CARB) states because those states *require* zero emissions vehicles as a % of overall sales.

Boo. The Golf EV was/is the same. Unless you’re in a zero emissions state, you won’t be able to buy one locally or have it serviced locally.

Canvassing for Stacey Abrams over a period of a few months, I knocked on doors in a *LOT* of majority minority South Dekalb neighborhoods in Atlanta. I got told all the time by people I saw to “be careful out there”. However, I was never threatened, followed, or even looked at wrongly. I never felt my safety was at…
