IMO it does not make sense to buy an EV if you are planning to rely on a charging network for anything outside of the occasional longer trip. If it is your commuter car, you’d better have a 40Amp+ charger in your garage or dedicated parking space. Anything else and you’re better off with a PHEV, HEV, or just regular…

“Lol. That’s all?” - Tavarish.

Bruh. That looks like a futuristic bar of soap. The Zonda as it is has no bad angles.

Counterpoint the Zonda is a damn fine looking car, and this Alisea just looks down right boring.

new car’s rear seats don’t fold as flat as they did before.

Trouble is, at the end of the day this is still $35K (less any tax credits, but still) for a car of limited usefulness. It’s TWICE the price of an original gas base 500 - and in the sort of use case for this, those just aren’t going to use much gas. Even my 500 Abarth got 35+mpg unless I was driving it like a madman…

Yes, all of the successive and derivative versions of Top Gear have failed to be anywhere near as entertaining or as interesting.

The brand isn’t as strong as the trio.

Don’t tempt Tavarish...

No complaining about maintenance if you don’t have a monthly payment! This can be a helpful mantra... ;)

Paying insurance on multiple vehicles when I can only drive one at a time.

“When the guests did not return to the vessel at the all aboard time, their passports were delivered to the local port agents to retrieve when they returned to the port.”

3rd Gear: Probably the biggest issue is people illegally retrofitting aftermarket LEDs into reflector housings that were designed for halogen bulbs. LEDs require different reflectors, which would require expensive “whole headlight” replacements, and folks are just plain too selfish to go for that.

Well fuck, was afraid this was a potential thing. Still holding out that this is an elaborate April Fools prank because I sure wish it was.

As I've aged I've come to appreciate sidewall more and more.

I’ll second your motion to restomod a Capri. My first car in 1983 was a 1976 Capri II with the awesome Cologne V6, 4spd and dual exhaust. I know later in the European run (Mk III) they got fuel injected and 5spd transmissions but I’ll tell you that the front end on the car could have stood some beefing up, plus some…

I certainly do, have had a set of Peugeot salt and pepper mills for a decades. They are lovely to use.

Imagine this - Ford build a new “car” instead of an SUV - give us a new small car with plenty of power - give me a new Escort

I’m getting tired of reductivism in design.

What if the guy in the front loader decides to start bulldozing houses down? Got to stop him somehow.

I’ve seen the pictures of this bridge. You aren’t making it across without an AMC product, an English Accent, and a slide whistle
