A friend of mine had one in the early 2000s. In comparison to other 90s cars, the Fiat Coupe isn’t that sporty and very cheaply build. A turbo version could be desirable for some people. This N/A  - i don’t think so ... and especially not for 13k$$.

S2000 + lowered suspension + cage + wing - soft top + hard top ... and maybe + supercharger ...30-40k $? Still roadworthy.

I’d really like to hear your statement spoken by Brian from RegularCars in his croaky voice version.

Europeans aren’t buying the e because it is simply overpriced about 5 to 10k EURs (that’s 6 to 12k $$) in the subcompact class. Yes it has a little more bang and is more futuristic than let’s say the VW up! ... but that is all. No one cares about RWD and camera mirrors and 150 horses when buying a city car. We aren’t…

Still to nice for David but never the less KrackPips

This is true. BUT When Tesla becomes Ford (or more likely something like BMW) it will be worth as much. Which means a fraction of the current overhyped value.

Looking at the pics, i don’t see a 200k vehicle more they’re are the ones shot some 10 years ago when it was new. CP.

“When Tesla went IPO they were already making and sold a long range EV (the Roadster). They also went through the traditional IPO process.”

“That ‘$7k’ car will slowly but surely cost you $10k by the end of it’s first year of ownership.”

Nope. Here in Germany it’s even allowed to let your old Porsches rot away...

And what for?

Problem is, a car that’s not running with major issues isn’t really sellable. I would put all on sale and see whats selling. Maybe exclude the Crossfire and the Durango and put a not so reasonable pricetag on the Jag ... because this one will be parts money in some years at least.

Hrhr starred!

The model car company Herpa made a prototype electric Trabant. Sadly it was 2007 then and nobody was interested in electric cars.

Maybe because that’s the way it goes when you want an old 4x4 getting more comfortable und daily usable in modern standards.

It is not slightly cheaper, but much cheaper. No car owners tax for 10 years, no regular fluid replacements, lower inspection costs, later brake replacing, no engine or transmission blowing up after 2 years of warranty ran out (hello VW!). Only downside is currently our heavy taxed electric power (~0.40$ per kWh)…

Just a guess: The majority of female non-jalopniks couldn’t differentiate between a Talon and all other Coupes which in their memory the bfs had some 25 years ago....

It’s origin is more SAAB like than a Subaru...

Because they’ll wholesale it to some shady dealer where you then can buy the car for 20k?

But not unexpected ;-)
