I can’t wait to off-road the crap out of one.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that price.

The cars are great at seeing other cars due to the sensors in the safety systems. People? Not so much. Thus why I said pedestrian deaths. Refer to my other post further up with more data and sources.

According to AAA and some smaller unverified studies people are getting into more accidents due to fiddling with their phone with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and have more likelyhood of crashes due to manual distractions (changing the radio, adjusting the A/C, things like that) due to them requiring visual…

Yes, this trend is bad and needs to go. Touch screen controls are useless. Anything you have to take your eyes off the road or pull over to use is stupid.

Yeah, me too. It’s the worst, cheapest, laziest possible way to design a car interior. Does anybody actually like this “we glued an iPad to the dash and called it a day” design? Anybody? Because personally, it’s an instant dealbreaker.

Ahhhhh, goddamnit. Well I was on board until this...
Fuckin’ hell would it kill people to make actual gauges and controls instead of this shit that actually kills people? The number of pedestrian accidents is on the rise because of stupid “centric” designs based around a touch screen like this that take your eyes off…

So it’s basically a New Fiat 850 with an EV powertrain. I dig it.

Qulity is Job #1

Hopefully it would get smashed by the Super 8 monster or something in a movie...these were terrible.

1st Gear: Is it me, or does that article make it seem like the name Mustang was where the hesitation was, not the building of the electric car.

I agree, it belongs in the pictures. It could even have a role as the kid protagonist’s parents’ car provided said kid bikes or rides the school bus everywhere and gets his own car (something RWD and at least mechanically related to something with a following. Or at least easy to fix like a non-AC manual Chevette)…

No. No. No.

Growing up, my neighbor had one. ND for free. Part of it was the car that was the most generic of the 80s Generic Ford campaign and proof that Ford was still behind when it came to “Qulity is Job #1" (actual spelling from the front page of the owners manual. Another was the type of owner this thing attracted. My…

This isn’t appealing as anything other than a commuter car, and better commuter cars can ben had for $3200. This is a $500 car for someone without any other options. Crack pipe.

CP.

It’s a Saab, the air conditioner doesn’t work.

I like Saabs and always will. But this is a rebodied Opel that has been heavily leaned upon by Saab engineers; fortunately for this model I like Opels too. When I was a kid, we had two cars: a SAAB 96 and an Opel Kadett Rallye. They were eclectic cars to learn to drive in, I can tell you.

What do people do to their interiors to trash them so bad? This car has 166000 miles on it and the interior is simply thrashed. Not only is it dirty, but cracked and torn.

I do not want this car. But that is cheap. And as a motorhead, I would like to see this car butter someone’s biscuit, save it, tinker with it, and enjoy it. Because it is cheap enough that if they keep it running, they probably can still always get the $2,500 back. (I refuse to count cost of maintenance in my algorithm…
