No, just sell it as a form of Rugged Individualism. “I make and store my own electricity. I don’t need a power company telling me what to do.”

What is an “R-wing”?

Until you see a prototype racecar in person, you never fully understand just how low and compact they are. You can get an idea looking at the lead image, but its more striking in person. The top of the Cadillac’s windshield is approximately at the same level as the bottom of the 911's windshield.

Let’s put it in the back, right over the gas tank and right next to the custom alcohol storage!

Yeah. Same dude that promoted Lordstown Motors on the White House lawn.

Yes, and the car still belongs to my friend.  Implying the car no longer belongs to my friend is deceptive.

Feeling funny, are ya wildcat?

Hudson’s own mother has alleged that he doesn’t have the car anymore

3.9-liter V6...in this model year, the engine makes 125 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque

The few EV+manual conversions I’ve seen don’t really need to change gears more than once. The massive, instant torque of the electric motor means they’re driving around town with almost no need to change out of 3rd or 4th gear.

IIRC, one generation of the Cadillac CTS-V used 6-lug hubs from a heavy duty truck. It was really weird to see 6 lugs on a mid-sized sedan.

The sound profile of that BRM engine is so cool. It sounds like 4 completely different engines blaring through a common exhaust.

Like it or not, luxury car brands sell all sorts of ridiculous lifestyle merchandise at a healthy markup. Tesla is just following the lead. Not that Tesla is a luxury brand, it’s just the MSRP of some of their cars is in luxury territory.

I’m glad it’s sub-2.5s, because anything 2.6s or above would just be unacceptable.

With all the emphasis on off road capability and overlanding it does not really make sense to have those fancy floor mats.

We have a 2021 Venza and two of the biggest annoyances are the complete lack of an overhead sunglasses cubby (despite having plenty of real estate because there is no sunroof) and the incredibly tight phone storage cubby under the HVAC controls. The car does not have wireless CarPlay which means you must plug in which…

Also, calling it “analog” is stretching the term.  There’s plenty of electronics between the driver and the wheels.

The Kizashi was a very low seller but I would not classify Suzuki as an obscure brand.
