I don’t know if that stat is correct... Because there’s also a few of them here in Canada near where I live.

Wait, only 264 came in? I’ve seen more than one of them here in Canada. Didn’t think they were particularly uncommon.

Which means it’s still leaning on the Gas Tax to be the part of it that makes sense. Again, your system makes absolutely zero disparity between a car that gets 25.1MPG and one that gets 80MPG. Your system also wouldn’t punish a motorcycle that got just 25.1MPG, which is atrocious.

So there’s no benefit for getting even a single MPG over 26? If I design a motorbike with 26MPG, I’m AOK?

I’m getting to the point of “I’ll believe it when I can actually see it.”

To each their own. I’d much rather just get a faster, more practical electric car at that point. Not one that’s hamstrung trying to be something it’s not.

Bah, the BMW suggestions might be bad decisions, but they’re also boring bad decisions. Oh, another E46? Yawn.

Better yet, get a Campagna T-Rex, and blow the doors off the Vanderhall.

Eh, my logic is this:

Agreed about the power. I know everyone and their dog keeps saying it needs more, but... I really didn’t agree with that assessment when I drove one. It’s basically a hard-top Miata, and it has the perfect amount of power to fulfill that niche.

Plus Dom drives a Charger in the end, and later movies have a litany of European and American cars.

The one that blew my mind the most for that was the Zero SR/F. I’d ridden a couple of the other Zeros before it, and they had “traction control”, but you still had to be paying attention big time.

The aesthetics on this already look amazing and unique. They certainly don’t have to worry about looking like their competition!

Couple things to remember:

Not really. 99% of buyers adamantly don’t care, that’s the problem. You’re wasting money to get no return on it.

And for a one time thing, sure, but if that’s your way of doing things (Just bump the price and do it anyways), suddenly a bunch of those “$2 bumps” start adding up, and now you’re the manufacturer trying to sell a $20,000 entry-level car.

I would (Personally) argue the opposite: It’s the long term foresight.

When I was studying to be a mechanic, we actually got to chat to one of the heads of Ford R&D. While we didn’t ask about this specific part (This actually came out after I graduated), one of the students in my class asked why Ford was using an inferior, cheap connector for something (Don’t remember what it was…

Which is all well and good for those folks. My comment is more from Ford’s perspective: Why waste a valuable namesake on a market that is naturally opposed to that name? Why not give your electric sports car a brand new name, and free yourself from the implications of how a Mustang is supposed to look and feel?
