That’s definitely one of the reasons, but the other reason is probably that their cars are now 6+ years old and fucking old now interior or exterior wise.

Seller claims he took it to a Maser dealer and has the documentation on their diagnosis. For what that’s worth...

This is a fantastic first car. Plenty of space for crap, not too powerful. Doesn’t attract the “wrong” attention. Just good honest transportation.

NP - lots of good in this...great first car for someone too. Otherwise keep it going and send it, this is solid basic transportation in a wagon.

I hope it’s as small as it looks/I expect, and not the huge (SUV) size of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, that looked like it would be a lancia integrale size:

Holy shit. Rivian is the new AMC.

I knew I couldn’t be the only one that thought Lancia when I saw it. That R3X pushes all the right buttons, now I want to see the price tag before I legitimately get excited.

I’m on my 4th Subaru, had two WRXs, a bug-eye for 12+ years. Still waiting for this head gasket issue internet parrots repeat...

Right! So not really even a weight penalty. This is the Lucid drive unit (I took this at a Lucid store)

Sounds like Kia has $3750 on the hood. Not surprising considering the high price. It’s still a **$70,000** Kia.

The law of supply and demand. They did make small cars. They weren’t profitable because:

I didnt think it was possible, but congrats Russia you actually managed to make something uglier than the MalibuMAXX, Aztec, and Cybertruck.

The beady-eyed headlights, the utter blankness of its fascia, the jowly flabbiness of its proportions...yup, I’d say the “stylist” was paying homage to Putin’s favorite bitch:

Wait until they find out that there are economy cars with 10-speed autos, it’ll blow their minds.

“Bicycles need 21 gears to exceed 20mph”

to be fair many modern mustang owners only need 315hp to ruin their lives

Where’s the 262 Bertone coupe? You would think that would be the first one rolled out in that row of newer models.

I’m only slightly jealous of your day driving Volvos around.

People who bike to work will also shower at work when they get there. This argument gets posted a lot but really it never happens like that. If your office doesn’t have shower facilities that makes sense (I used to do a hobo shower in a single-person bathroom at an old job after biking in), but that is also another…

You don’t have to bike every single day. It’s not an all-or-nothing situation. I definitely wouldn’t on bad weather days or when it’s really hot, but there are still a lot of days that it would be great.
