Elizabeth,

All the comments so far seem to focus on the unimportant. This thing is a mess but not because of it’s Frankenstein factor. It is a mess because it worsens an already bad handling layout.

Pee Free or Die!

Ah! Fun memories of Uvalde, TX.

All these replies and no mention of the Honda NR engine? Really Jalops? SMH.

Was this car part of the Takata air bag recall?

1st.

It was your IF. I still think it’s more of a never likely.

Hahahaha! Yup. Every time I see a story about Tesla’s issues(all OEMs' quality issues really) or UAW practices, I think about this podcast and Gung Ho.

That’s a BIG if. And we all know that 860 Watt number is an almost unachievable peak. The better investment would be wider deployment of level 2 chargers. Also, we need lower power, smaller cars. But I digress and right now, somewhere there’s a windmill itching to be tilted at.

Yes. This is just “green-ifying” for green-ifying sake. The power output is pathetic and only looks good when quoted as Watts instead of kilowatts. The 34% number is very impressive and the math works out to about 2.5 square meters of PV panels. Which, looks about right. However, and it’s been pointed out here, that…

Back in my car selling days, I once did that for a girl that really wanted a Prelude. It is one of the few benevolent acts of my car selling experience.

Solution? Ahem...Pelic@n Bri3f.

I’m with Tom on this one. And, Raphael has a point.

¡NO!

“But for now, it’s another WELL DESERVED setback for UAW in the U.S.”

I’ve I’ve got 18 plus years working on the development side in automotive. In my time (25 or so proving grounds/development sites worldwide) I’ve come to work in several different situations. Without a doubt, and in the worst-case that involved Chinese communism, I have experienced nothing but trouble and pain in any…
