...because Chevy’s uncommonly dull $30K car will make our beautiful $35k Tesla III fly off the shelves in 2017*.
It’s this kind of petty attitude from GM towards a competitor that only deepens my resolve to never buy anything from these arrogant pricks ever.
“...a price of around $30k...”
No worries. GM will abandon this in two years calling it unprofitable. Then, announce another Cadillac truck at $80,000+.
This is you preparing your audience for the fact you bought a first-gen Prius, isn’t it?
Two totally different cars. Case dismissed.
Careful now...
I guess we know why the chinese and american stock markets crashed today...
Couldn’t help but see red flags everywhere throughout the presentation. This is a pitch to convince investors to jump in. Timetables? Differentiators? Talent? Projected facility groundbreaking? A relationship with a Chinese entertainment distributor? None of this is designed to convince a consumer base to get excited…
They blew it. Nobody will take them seriously with such a cartoonish, outlandish concept. There is no way in hell that thing would ever get produced.
When Jalopnik commentators talk politics, I often think I’m in the wrong hobby. (I could eat up a lot of time talking about how that came to be.) Whatever. I’m gonna miss him when he’s out of office.
Ask Tesla how “pro-business” Texas is.
2 things.
The Celica GT-S had roughly the same power to weight (180 hp/2,650 lb) as the contemporary Integra GS-R (170 hp/2,595 lb) and not much worse than the later RSX-S (210 hp/2790 lb). Not sure why I’m trying to bring facts in to argue against hyperbole though.
Megamullin still likey.
I look forward to when the Jalop hivemind will come to accept the Prius. It may not be what you want, but it does what it was designed to do pretty well. Just like our vaunted Miata - it does well what it sets out to do, but still isn’t the car for everyone.
The Mazda Miata: my significant other would leave me? Great. She’s costing me too much $$ and I’m cheap.
I hate this car to the MAXX.
