I’d say it’s more in line with the refreshed Sportwagen than anything on sale today

No matter where you are in the country right now, it’s hot. (Wrong. —Ed.)

in-car scent,

In hindsight, the Spark was a great name that worked for both the ICE and EV version of that car.

Watching how well the Honda Fit, Smart fortwo, and Scion iQ hold their values in cities tells me there is still a market for small, slow, practical vehicles in the US. I think the real question is: would people want this as their only car?

My go-to strategy for over a decade has been to run most of my stuff in a hard-sided roller bag that fits in the overhead compartment, and a small duffel bag to put down with my feet.

I’m 6-foot-8-inches tall with a 40-inch inseam, so I’m pretty far from the archetype that most cars are designed around, and yet I fit perfectly inside my car.

Is “Signia” a word? I know “insignia”, which would certainly follow other car brands with “Signature” editions, but just “signia” sounds half baked

The lone Cybertruck I’ve spotted in person was on the floor of the Gowanus Tesla store, and I only got the briefest glimpse as I rode past on my bike. Some other New York-based Jalops have lost Cyberstruck by now, but here in Brooklyn we seem to be blissfully free of the stainless steel eyesores.

Honestly, it’s because there isn’t anything like them to replace them. You see Smarts and Scion iQs holding value way longer than they should /for what they are given that there hasn’t been a new version of either for years.

Driving in NYC, even when I have the green, I’ve learned to let off the accelerator and downshift 1-2 gears to slow don and give myself more reaction time when these guys run the intersecting red lights without stopping without any illumination. I feel bad that people trying to make money are getting hurt but I’m also…

The speed limit city-wide is just 25mph, though, so that injury rate is already with cars speed super restricted

Maybe the original or even the 1st gen modern ones, but the current 4th gen isn’t in the city car class - its 153" length puts it closer to other subcompacts like a Honda Fit or Kia Rio (both 160") than the Fiat’s 143" - that’s why I called it sub-subcompact.

I forget where I read it, but apparently the US was the only place that was actually buying manuals on the Golf - approx 50-50 take rate. The issue there is that Americans just weren’t buying enough Golfs to justify two transmissions: VW sold 19,484 Golfs in 2020, killed the eGolf, wagon, and base Golf hatch, and then…

Not only do I like that this shows that modern normal cars are plenty fast, it’s also important to realize that most people never drive their cars at the 100% that it would take to pull these times off. If my 130HP CRZ is catching you on the onramp, you can go faster!

What I wouldn’t understand is how someone looking for a particular car wouldn’t also check the license plate?

6 of the top 10 best-selling SUVs in 2023, - totaling 1,876,083 sales, or 12% of all cars sold in the US, are not only shorter than the Equinox EV, but most of these brands also offer an even smaller SUV:

This particular lease is for a 500e with an MSRP of $34,095
