A little pedantic for a car journalism site. Considering that is a common phrase for a responsive and well handling chassis that provides feedback and confidence while also being comfortable and livable in daily life.

Finances ≠ Financing.

I will be buying one in the next year or 2. Once the finances make sense, of course.

I love everyone here not understanding why people want Maserati’s.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet with that R53 knowing their reliability.

I never understood the infatuation with a slim wheel. As a man with monkey hands, I need that CHONK to help me out. Otherwise I feel like I’m gonna brake the wheel in half.

Ford would embrace the female design in the 2nd gen Ford Probe. Historically said to be the only car “Designed by a woman, for women”, Mimi Vandermolen did a hell of a job and it’s an awesome car.

Tire mechanic was in the wrong. When you put studs on, you don’t use an impact gun. You hand them on and then finish with a torque wrench. I don’t care how many people will tell you “Oh just do a few threads and if it’s good, zip it on!” or “Use a torque stick and it’s OK”.

And for good reason, the SVO was as fast as a GT but had much better handling, especially on track. I don’t think it was enough to justify the price, and consumers agreed.

Yep, my bad. I thought the Sierra was on the Fox Body platform for some reason.

Same problem the SVO Mustang had in the 80's. A cool, turbo charged, balanced sports car doesn’t sell when you can get it with the big bad V8 soundtrack.

Isn’t that the ATS Coupe?

While fair, I would take the opinion of a body professional on this sort of thing.

I knew someone who wanted a Coda REALLY bad back when they were announced. They never did buy one but they went crazy for a “normal looking EV”. Can only imagine their disappointment if they actually bought one.

I appreciate the confidence, but body work is something we all can imagine but in practice is much harder than we think to pull of correctly. I am enjoying the story though and look forward to seeing it all pulled off!

I want to like it, I really do. But it looks like a CX5 slapped onto a Ridgeline rear. The flatbed body really doesn’t translate well either. Big yikes for me.

If I didn’t write it on my phone, allowing my grammar and spelling to be shot in the foot, it’s at least Creative Writing 102!

Is the Pandemic going to cause a 2008 esque cancellation of projects and vehicles? If you’re someone like VW, trying to build EV Bus needing a lot of chips, do you hold off until 2023-2024? Or put it on ice until you establish the business, then kill the project due to a change in corporate direction?
