Well, now I’m mad we’re wrecking stuff we’ve borrowed! I mean, I’m glad we’ve still got our fleet of ten, but jeez..... This is a valuable asset, and we need it doing its job.

The funny thing is, USPS is testing some Canoo vans as well, and from what I heard they are performing pretty well.

Puh-leaaaaase let Canoo survive! I love their funky designed vans.

You win today.

I’m solidly GenX and I hate that. 

I’ll gladly be the youngest millennial boomer out there and say it sucks.

OK Bimmer

They didn’t. He worked on 23,000 vehicles. So far, only 3 have been found with loose bolts. Click-baity headline reduces reading comprehension.

I had absolutely no idea what my car was going for after a year of ownership, though looking right now, it looks like about half of it’s original sticker price after 2.5 years of ownership despite its gas-powered engine.

That only matters if you want to resell it quickly.

Are you asking why a perpetual energy machine doesn’t exist?

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

I think we are missing the real answer with the sea of cars.

CPO Mazda 3 is the correct answer here. The very DEFINITION of “luxury-ish”. Even the turbo ones have decent fuel economy. The hatchbacks aren’t the EASIEST to park because those C-pillars are enormous, but that’s a small price to pay for such a complete package. Maintenance and repairs should be pretty reasonable

I’m looking forward to Rivian’s smaller models, particularly the R3. If this thing nails it on range and cost I’m going to be mighty intrigued.

Pretty much only one car fits that description: the mid 60's Mercedes S class convertible:

I just have to be honest....

Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Convertible?

I was thinking a Volvo V70 Convertible or Saab 9-3 Vert would be a good solution, too. 

If you’re going that far, you might as well recommend the Beetle’s squashed cousin: a 996 cabriolet.
