I avoid those yearly maintenance things by driving a heavily modified Volkswagen, it’s perpetually being repaired so I figure the interval doesn’t matter much anymore.

Maybe the stickers are from Toyota? God knows they had to have contributed SOMETHING to that partnership.

It is a pretty bitchin’ freezer tho

Oh I’m aware, I live ~20 minutes from Pike’s Peak where VWs EV crushed the record. A Prius ain’t that EV though, and under acceleration/at highway speeds that NA gas engine is a significant contributor, although less significant when wheezing away on mountain air.

I’ll agree that better drivers would also be a solution to the problem, plenty of fast cars can’t merge for shit either.

I’ll agree that better drivers would also help solve the problem. The fact is though they’d have to leave the thing floored for 8+ seconds to get it up to speed and these folks obviously aren’t comfortable doing that.

So if Cadillac assumes all their customers are pussies, why even make V to begin with? You can sell all the normal, slow versions of those cars without the V badge.

Pretty fair comparison, the slowest 911 vs. the fastest Tesla.

Meanwhile, someone at FCA is trying to figure out how to cram the Hellcat engine into a Fiat 500.

“Our customers are pussies and can’t handle how awesome we are” is rarely a winning marketing strategy.

Just get an i3, then you can save on gas and still look like a tremendous douchebag. It really is the best of both worlds.

Yeah, there’s slow and then there’s dangerously slow. Prius is awfully close to the latter.

True, once this thing was in the presence of David’s other vehicles it would succumb to peer pressure and find a way to rust.

When they say joining a union is for your own good they mean it, just not in a good way.

This is a shockingly accurate description of how the British used to build cars.

Excuse me sir, this is a pro-union establishment. Any mention of the labor movement’s historic propensity for killing people when they don’t get what they want is uncalled for.

Or, hear me out on this, they have details that they’re not willing to share with the public yet.

Fiberglass can’t rust so I’m sure the shine would wear off the apple pretty quickly for him.
