It’s a big motor upgrade along with the colors. Fun thing tho is the exciting colors are a no cost option.

It’s compensation for being in Canada.

Actually don’t diss the red, “Rapid Red” is a tri-coat (tinted clear) and looks really good. Especially out in the sun; it’s not too different from that nice “Soul Red” Mazda has.

Really goes to show that “to each their own” still holds true. Just went through the configurator and I like every single color except for that GT-only blue. That blue has been everywhere for the past five years now and I’m just so sick of it! Maybe if I saw it in person...

Market isn’t as big so we generally get fewer options. Where in the US you can usually pick and choose individual options, we get a few option groups. Usually a bottom tier, middle, and top tier with every available option. Low production cars are even worse. When I bought my Focus RS, the only choice I had was color.

Odd, in Canada we can order Grabber Blue on the non-GT

I’ve done cold interiors with just seats and wheel heated and easily saw 10-20% more range. Its great for shorter trips, but I wouldnt do it for longer ones unless I was worried about not making it. 

I was wondering if that was the case. Good to know.

why it’s like Ford engineers have never logged tons of hours in an electric vehicle in real world applications!

Yeah, the color options are pretty weak. 

that’s a huge mess-up not offering standard heated front AND rear seats AND standard heated steering wheel, like my leaf has. 

It’s very simple. FCA included an option that adds several thousands to the market price. They put the word ‘Jeep’ on it.

How the f does that thing cost over 50k?

Rule #1: Never post a video when an article will suffice. Most people don’t have the time (or an appropriate setting) to watch a video, but all of us have 60 seconds to read a condensed list of tips.

The 2020 VW Harlequin Golf.

Right—the easiest answer is one word: Colors.

I think Mazda has been the closest to a graceful design for a hatchback.

I think the last gen Mazda 3 was pretty graceful. The new one would be too if it wasn’t for the plump C-pillar. Also the new Focus pulls of graceful proportions quite well, I am just not a fan of the grille.

The true problem here is children. Stop having them. They cause nothing but pain and are the main motivator for buying an SUV. I think the experienced parents will get behind me on this.

I only read his headlines and comment accordingly, 3rd time today.
