The 4.0 and 3.7 badges are aftermarket. All stock V6 S197s just have the pony logo.

Hot take: yellow is overrated. All yellow cars look like either taxicabs or Bumblebee (the crappy Michael Bay Bumblebee, not the good one with Hailee Steinfeld).
I don’t care how much it costs. I want it.
Top Gear does exaggerate a lot, but in this case, they showed actual footage of the real-time MPG meter in the H2. You could watch it go down to 1 when Jeremy put his foot down.
In car terms, that’s pretty much exactly what they did. They’re finally starting to get back into making EVs now with the Bolt, but it took them 15 years after canceling the EV-1 to realize they were wrong.
How about you do some actual research, instead of just refuting everything I say with no evidence of your own to back up your claims?
Found the Hummer driver.
I love this story.
It’s not as bad as the H2, but it’s still not very good, and for everything it can do, there’s something else that can do it better for cheaper.
They sold better because they were much more heavily advertised. Hummer’s ads appealed to insecure man-children who thought a “military” vehicle would make them more masculine - the same assholes who now buy assault rifles for the same reason.
I knew the mileage on these was awful, but I’m surprised the owners complained about it. I don’t think of Hummer drivers as a demographic that cares about that sort of thing.
Not quite as bad as the H2, but it still sucks. If you want a Canyon, just buy a damn Canyon.
1,300 lbs of batteries? That’s a bigger pack than a Tesla P100D! Why on earth does a tiny dune buggy need that much battery capacity?
I dunno, you could... not?
Serious question - why the fuck does this car exist? Imagine how many other cars you could get for that amount of money.
The Del Sol is a great car to convert! Quite a few people have done it, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find fixes for any issues that come up.
I once heard LaCroix described as “drinking plain carbonated water while someone shouts the name of a fruit in the next room”.
Modern carton material feels like paper with some kind of plasticky coating on it, but I’m not sure how much paper is actually in it.
It should be noted that there are much easier ways to convert a car to electric than swapping in a Tesla rear end.
