And yet EV’s cant even complete a road trip from one state to the next unless you live on the border. Same principal, our batteries still suck and haven’t advanced at near the rate the rest of tech has.

As I’ll get stuck telling every moron on here, if we can’t get new tech to last the life expectancy of old tech then we can’t expect new tech in cars to suddenly work any better either. yes i know we do more on our phones, still doesn’t change the fact that our battery tech has basically stalled out over the last 4…

Per usual you’re too stupid to piece one piece of tech to the next. If we can’t make a battery on the newest phone technology last what the last phone tech got for life expectancy then one can’t expect us to make batteries that actually replace gasoline engines. going 150 miles per charge doesn’t cancel out an 8 hour…

We didn’t need EV’s to get to this conclusion though. One only needed to note that nokia got up to a week on a battery and iphones have managed a few hours for years.

I’m going to put myself out there and say i don’t hate this car. I mean i definitely wouldn’t have bought one for $25k, that’s just stupid, but if I could find a decent mileage one for fairly cheap i’d daily it. I mean would you rather be in this or something with a cvt?

the problem is we’ve allowed a scenario where you can now sue for your own stupidity. someone needs to pass a darwinism law so we can cut disclaimers and weed out the idiots.

Throwing money at something doesn’t necessarily fix it. If detroit can’t find a way to attract businesses they won’t have the means to pay it off.

The dropping of the lancer has reduced me to a WRX if they re-introduce it as a hatch or a crossover. I can’t do another sedan and there’s too much snow around here for me to go away from AWD again. Can you drive without AWD in snow, sure, can you drive a whole hell of a lot easier with AWD yes.

Fox Valley.

Governor Dayton’s pretty much ruined this state.

it wasn’t AWD and they’ve made it in such limited quantities that i’ve spotted exactly 1 in the twin cities where you can’t throw a stone without hitting at least one mitsubishi. There’s 3 lancers on my street alone and outlander sports almost outpace CRV’s here.

I don’t get why the WRX wagon doesn’t exist anymore. Then again I can’t understand why mitsubishi bailed on the lancer instead of making it a hatchback. There’s 2 things selling like hotcakes in the US right now. AWD crossovers and small hatchbacks. any awd hatchback will sell like crazy right now.

thanks to the EPA yes. It won’t matter how cheap gas gets because it it can’t get 35mpg+ it’s a gas guzzler these days.

its less of the want and more of the cost factor. I’d like a focus RS i am only willing to spend $25k. Now you see why crossovers have taken over.

look at the new fusions too. Cops aren’t even buying the taurus anymore because the fusions are as big as their old cruisers were.

This!!!!!! As soon as my commute became over 5 minutes i installed one. Combine this with the fact that Minneapolis cops cant stop shooting everything and you’d be insane to not own one here.

and this is why people have dashcams.

Minnesota is over-rated. We might be polite but dear jesus no one in this state can figure out a zipper merge to save their life. Also parking should be a part of the scoring. We’d get an F in that category. minnesota, the state of, i’m kind of in the lines so close enough.

As someone who used to live in WI, I can attest that WI drivers suck on the highway although this is primarily due to the fact that their cheese sucking cops like to pull you over at 6mph over in some bs’d attempt to ticket you because small towns have nothing else going on. Meanwhile in Minnesota if you’re not going…

I thought that was annoying until I almost got hit about 8 times from people refusing to stop and another 6 from people refusing to use their signal. Its those assholes that have caused this now downstream effect of us having to be douchebags so we don’t lose half our car in an intersection.
