Mid to low 20s is horrendus! Why isn’t any US brand making a plug-in CUV/SUV? Mitsubishi does and they get 80 mpg with average charging and driving. All they’ll be doing is the 10 mile drive to work or supermarket.

Jason, isn’t there more to talk about the actual car. You know, the PHEV? The car that became the best selling PHEVs, and one of the highest selling SUVs in Europre? The car Mitsubishi North America has been desperately demanding to get since 2013? The car that many say will finally rectify Mitsubishi’s shit-as-dirt…

The Civic hybrid version with a battery balancer kit would be pretty nice.

As cool as this is, and cool as the steam-swap, this is pretty standard stuff for retired, rich english men get up to. A community that existed since the 1950s, but not dissimilar from us... They even to classic time trials.

Sorry, I just can’t get over the fact that you named your kid Otto. Lol, it makes more than enough sense!

I hate to say, but the closest thing I could think of is...

A Supriu. Please don’t call Peta, this may spics may as well be seen as gross abuse. But I dream fort a bullet proof hybrid that can off road, not have shit blindspots and make people think I’m a lesbian.

oh please, don’t.. show that.

And I can tell you that on behalf of all Prius drivers, it doesn’t fucking matter.

Jesus, I didn’t mean to get you all wound up, I thought this was Jalopnik.

It is, but it’s all transversed. Lexus is one example that just moved its LHD 90 degrees and slapped a prop-shaft to it.

Hybrid my ass. This is no where close to it!

Yeah, I think it’s a great distraction from the 48V system that clearly should not be called a hybrid. FCA has its Pacifica plug-in’s drive train for disposal, and for what...?

Oh fuck no. A 48v system? That’s not a hybrid. FCA’s Pacifica Hybrid was just rewarded by Wards for being one of the top 10 engines. It has the same 3.6L V6 (although an atkinson), 30 miles electric range, a towing capacity of 3600 lbs and a transmission as inherently bullet proof as a Prius’.
... It’s infuriating that…

• ‘‘Chevrolet Spark EV - Is a shit car that should have never happened compliance be dammed. Nothing on this list makes me happier.’’
  
  Yupp, no bias here.

Now hear me out.

If I was going to lazily name a car, I’d say just get a damn Prius for $3000 or less and get a battery balancing kit for $600. With drivetrain as reliable as a watch and the packaging of a mini-estate, there’s little reason to bitch.

However I am suggesting a 2012 or 2013 LEAF. Unless you can find one…

Hell yeah, I’d be on this so fast!
Invest $600 in a battery balancer and you could theoretically drive this car for another 20 years or so.

These things, as well as the Prius, are becoming iconic old cars that were imapctful enough to alter car markets today. And they will appreciate.

Is no one going to talk about the blue Renault Avantime, anyone? That wasn’t a call back, was it?

Nissan can hear our thoughts, apparently, because they are planning on a 200+ mile Leaf for 2019

It’s fair game to point out how the LEAF falls short against the Bolt and Model 3, but it’s like scoffing at the mid-level trim car for not having all the features of the top trim. Not everything is TopTrumps.

The range will increase in the next year with a long anticipated 60kWh pack, without doubt. So by then, lets…
