But it’s got AWD the holy grail for some people for some reason.

You just take them out and put some fabric and a bit of sound deadening foam there, and put in a brace across the back. I’d say most committed Corolla’ists could do it. Some dandy will make a kit.

They’re making 6,000 for year 1, so I don’t think it’s going to be crazy crazy. They’re a manual hatchback which if history tells us anything isn’t the most popular item. In 2021, VW sold 6,183 GTi’s, this Corolla will be more expensive and niche.

Yep, either people need to get over that, or they need to improve charging speeds. I’m sure someone far cleverer than me can explain why they don’t have two inputs on cars to charge half a battery each more rapidly.

43k for a cost-cutting exercise GTi. Insane.

I was about to dive in saying the number of cars with 500 miles of range is tiny - BUT - a Google and it shows there’s loads.

Sooner the better. Take the games out of it. Buy direct from the manufacturer. At MSRP. If e.g. Nissan wants to do a ‘sale’ they can.

For someone doing a long commute EVs are perfect.

Stop eating so much?

I saw a white one the other day, I’d have it over a Pacifica/Siena/Odyssey.

Kia Carnival starts at $32,600.

This sounds like 99% will be for work, so lease accordingly for IRS shenanigans.

Plus the congestion charge - don’t forget that.

Compared to the 1970s they’re good. But by any other measure not great. No AC, laughable wifi, frequent delays/cancellation/bus replacement.

It does if you drive to the station too...

Have you seen how many Jeeps have never seen anything other than road?

So you had 3-4Runners but most people have 2Runners? Good job there isn’t a 3Runner ...

You are equating a dangerous thing with a non-dangerous thing. If I go base jumping that’s inherently risky vs. going for a sandwich.
