I would consider myself completely stupid if I didn't go for a RAV4 Prime and an older, affordable RAV4 hybrid. 

You've a better chance of Mitsubishi bringing back the i-MiEV in the states 

The current Polo now is bigger than a Golf from 2005

It was a half assed attempt alright, the sooth the fears of first time buyers before 2016. . .

I think that’s what some call a “global market” design. Such as giant emotive headlights. Let’s not forget that GM has a history with Deawoo from Korea, who sold the Deawoo/Chevrolet Matiz for many years. The last sold in Europe were petrol engined Sparks.

The SparkEV and Fiat 500e are definitely forbidden fruits that we missed out here in Europe. And the Volt too. Only a few were imported, while the Detroit built Opel/Vauxhall variants of the Volt and Bolt (before PSA's acquisition) were crushed by customs fees.

€30,000 is affordable for a small car? On the other hand, I remember how Mini captures the posh bougie market well. 

And it’s absolutely massive if you see one in person, especially beside an Up!, a Fiat Panda, Opel Adam or a 2000s VW Polo, etc. I’m fully aware how market pressures for every growing cars and safety regulations on said market are the reason why. The Honda e's drivetrain and cabin layout is quite similar to the rear…

Well, that’s to say if drivers of one nation frequent train collisions more than others with semi-fast rail lines. Not all railroad crossing barriers are the same, some are built like gates that touch the floor and cross the entire width of the tarmac, others like the US’s are like automatic limbo poles.

How long has Ford and Toyota for that matter made us wait decades for a hybrid utility vehicle? Especially in Europe with small displacement, clapped out turbo diesels. This should not been hard to do without PR and market analysis dictating that hybrid/electric customers wanted more useless luxury.... Which is…

James May more than makes up for the other two for me to be able to sit down with them on tv. 

And we‘ll never understand the sycophancy..

Gotta love the lie that is the American free market

Now that's just darn fab

Rally hypermiling.

Talk about virtue signaling LMAO

You basically described the Prius ...

Are 30kWh Leafs even going for that price yet?

Demographic change?

It’s much to do with the duration of when the engine is off. So coasting to a stoo or down slight den grades, which also tops up the small ~30-35 HP battery to take up the slack from the weedy Atkinson engine. That’s where most of the mgs can come from.
