Sounds like some SovCit stupidity.
The biggest problem with that is the people who wanted this are too stupid to know why things are more expensive. They’ll be blaming Biden/Dems for the next 4 years for anything that goes wrong while praising Trump for anything that goes well in their life. Any real correlation or causation will be completely ignored.
Yes, but think of all the amazing press releases and insane ideas that would never come to exist. It would be like Tesla, if Tesla didn’t actually sell cars! What a future we could have...
Koenigsegg should buy the rights and bring back Saab. (Bring it home)
Take all the extreme tech and lessons learned from development of their halo cars, and use that experience to make modern, safe, and affordable vehicles for the masses.
The one that I really wanted to happen was Toyota and Lotus. One now? Hmm, how about VinFast and Elio? That could be fun!
Screw it, John Deere!
Tesla + Hims + Crypto.com + Car tuner Hennessey
Not necessarily a merger, but maybe a partnership between GM and Mazda. Combine GMs legendary LS engines with Mazda’s famous handling prowess to create affordable performance cars!
Tesla - BYD
Damn, so Chinese EVs are affordable because the country’s government invested in making clean transport accessible to its citizens? How evil. I’m so glad we don’t do that here, outside of the billions in subsidies for EV retooling (https://www.energy.gov/articles/biden-harris-administration-announces-nearly-2-billion-s…
a lucid is cooler than a taycan because you have a fully functioning, carvernous, exceptional handling car which allows you to forget whether it’s IC or EV. The taycan reminds you at every 180 mile recharge that it’s a first gen EV, not to mention the fact it will spend a significant portion of your ownership in the…
On the 2nd-gen Prius, it just signals added regen braking. You can drive around town in ‘B’ with no impact to MPG depending on your gas pedal position. It’s a bit like a precursor to ‘1 pedal driving mode’ some new BEVs have. Note that it disables cruise control.
I read recently there was one of those Domino’s DXP delivery cars for sale somewhere. That’s my vote.
Chevy HHR panel as an outlier; but the Transits/NVs are probably the answer.
This is to Andy and the other authors. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for keeping this article (and others like it) as lists rather than a slide show.
Do what I did. I got a new Toyota Sienna in 2007. Haven’t even tried to wrench on it. But haven’t needed to until about a year ago.
So, if I’m reading this right... the suggestion is to wash the inside of your window with glass cleaner?
My dark blue 2018 Model 3 LR-AWD is 6 years old so I’ll probably keep it another 6 at least. But if I did get into the situation where I needed a new daily driver, Hyundai Ioniq 5N in light blue, or the refresh 2024 Model 3 Performance in red.
I’ve begun the process of replacing my 2018 S5 Sportback and have narrowed it down to three options (unless I find something great on the CPO market like a 840i xDrive coupe): M440i xdrive Gran Coupe, CT5-V AWD, CLE53 AMG coupe.
