Very cool and super impressive - kudos to them for not completely just jumping on the Crossover/SUV bandwagon and actually producing a sedan....but it’s just ‘Yet Another Luxury EV’ that the average person can’t afford.

If they’d make an economy car with just as much (if not even slightly lower) range, but more basic

Okay then....I’ve done nothing to you, but be that way if you must.

Pardon? That’s a bit uncalled for...I wasn’t being rude to you in any way, so there’s no reason to be snide. :/

I understood that your comment was a joke, but on the serious side not everybody knows that the Trabant didn’t have a full Duroplast body, so I was simply replying to your comment explaining that they did,

If by uncluttered you mean ‘yet another EV / car with an ugly, giant, PITA to use while driving tablet unceremoniously glued to the middle of the dash’, then yes.

As much as I love that gen of Chrysler minivan (we had one when I was a kid and it never let us down once, fond memories!)....I would be fine with him doing the trip in the Trabant...there’s the little issue of camping in it though, unless he can find a Trabant Universal...

Yes it will - the monocoque under the Duroplast body panels is still steel and had minimal rust-proofing from the factory, so he’ll still get PLENTY of rust...

Trabants not rusting is a fallacy - the body underneath the panels is still steel and rusts below the Duroplast.

OH YES, get the Trabant! If you ever ship it back to the US, people like Robert Dunn from Aging Wheels (on Youtube) could help you, he has some awesome videos on this Trabant that he imported from Hungary! Heck, that would make a cool article/experience for you (cool video for him) if you were to go on a road trip in

I would love to apply! :D

But, full-time I could not do as I wouldn’t want to leave my current job (substitute teacher)...if I could work remotely and write some articles part-time, that would be amazing! Not sure my skills would be up to snuff though...I’ve done a few longer-form things over on Oppo, but not sure

Car companies like to talk about how new tech and development is bringing down the costs of EVs they design, but they gloss over that they could just be switching all their lineups over to simpler, less luxurious EV designs right this moment.”

SO MUCH THIS. I’ve been saying this for months! I’m fine with EVs, but

Proves The New Grille Looks Good When It’s Functional”

No....no it does not.

Awesome! Very odd location for the rear hatch release button on the dash - on our ‘93 Caravan, it was a button in the center of the ash near  the radio...just below the radio, I think?

Holy crap, these are hilariously awesome!!! If you do bring over some FIAT 126s in one, can you shove a Piaggio Ape TM P703 truck in there too and I’ll buy one of each off of you? :P

Welcome back! :D

Oh, yes! SO looking forward to this series! :D

We had a white ‘93 Caravan SE short-wheelbase when I was a kid as my parents went through a nasty divorce...I think it had the 3.3L engine.

As a result of the breakup and us having to move from our house and into a small apartment for several years until mom got everything

Regardless of the error in the article re: transponders, there are still a lot of Americans in boats illegally crossing the border right now - that’s the main point of the article. I live on the coast here in Nova Scotia and it’s happened a lot around here...

I live on the coast here in Nova Scotia, Canada and it’s a very real issue. We have a lot of American motor yachts and sailing yachts showing up in our small coastal marinas out of the blue right now illegally with the borders closed and without announcing their arrival to the Authorities. A lot of these very minor

...wait....people actually use the new Edge browser?

Why are most of the new startups focusing on trucks and SUVs....not all of us want giant things...

True, but there is still a gap......my point, as you say is that it’s priced in line with the TOP-TIER ‘normal’ Soul....but why is there no BASE EV model with the same features as the base ICE Soul at a lower price point? Especially if there’s a large drive to shift to electric on the whole? They’re still pricing out
