It definitely looks good, but to be honest if you took off the VW badge, I would’ve easily thought this was a new Ford Explorer. The interior is pretty close too.

Sorry Tom, but you gotta pick the right car for a person. She isn’t a Maserati driver, definitely won’t put up with an Aston’s quirks. She probably would love a Mercedes Cabriolet, but she would be much happier in an ELR.  

I thought the ATS recommendation was perfect, but you’ve done it one better.

This. Almost all my friends here in L.A. have EV’s now — yes, really — and they all get around with PlugShare or charging at work just fine. Much as I like Collins’ posts, this one is basically an EV noob’s somewhat understandable frustration after not having researched how to drive an EV beforehand. You kinda have to…

What you needed was the PlugShare app. It shows all the chargers, irrespective of network (you can set it to only show the networks and charger types that you are interested in) and includes user comments, so you can see the real state of a charger (is it working, is is blocked by a gate or valet parking, etc.)

I’ve just had it with the never-ending false equivalencies. You have Trump telling people in swing states to be “vigilant at the polls” and to “watch out for voting fraud”, and jackasses like dude here wanna throw up a pic of two homeless lookin idiots who, at the direction of nobody in particular (especially Barack…

You still have an immense amount of brand competition.

And yet, Ford took how much from taxpayers during the recession in comparison to every other “American” car maker?

Here’s the biggest issue with the title: They took “non-exhaust” emissions from 5 studies. For tires/brakes/road they had several values to average, but the range could be on the order of 4x for any given item. For “resuspension” they use the one and only number available to them...which is also at least 4 times…

Not so fast, more exercise = more calories. How much emissions did you put out in the world getting the food to you? Delivery trucks, A/C and power in the store from the coal power plant, refrigeration, farm equipment, feeding the cows, watering the vegetables. The wear on your shoes. I wonder what the emissions of…

Well, to be fair, when an issue arises Tesla addresses it. When an issue comes up for GM it becomes a feature. Like shutting down the engine and disabling all safety features. GM puts out a product calls it good and fuck you if you don't like it. You get what you bought even if it was engineered to minimum spec…

Tom,

But he specifically mentioned the first gen Odyssey, which also lacked sliding doors. I think Doug was trying to make a good argument, and didn’t want facts to get in the way.

they’ve done more with electric cars than most other companies.

Holy crap, that’s actually really good looking. I know it’s going to get flack, because there has never been a new car debut in the past 5 years without half the population hating it, but it’s really good looking. The 200-like front end actually works and makes it look almost like a 200-based wagon or crossover (I…

I feel this is a reasonable price, for what is probably a pretty good product that would work well for many Americans. Therefore, allow me to be the first Jalop to say the following:

BURN IT TO THE MOTHERF@#$ING GROUND OR INSTALL AN LS3 DEY CANT TUK R CARZ

With electricity, presumably.

Tyler has, across the board, done an excellent, non-partisan critique of defense-related issues, and ONLY defense-related issues, after each debate so far. I don’t know why you’re so hell-bent on trying to bait him, but you did it on the Republican analysis last week, and now you’re doing it here. Why don’t you knock…

Look at the used car section on any dealers web site. They aren’t pre 2003 cars getting traded in.
