True, but I don’t think Nissan and Mitsubishi would be interested in it, seeing as the Renault-Nissan alliance is the 2nd largest car manufacturer in the world, already has several EVs on sale, and a new dedicated EV platform scheduled to be released in 2021.

That’s good news for small automakers who haven’t had the funds to create theirs, like Mazda, Subaru or FCA.

Gee, I feel for you man. That’s tough. Hope you’re over it now !

That’s some next-level cynical greenwashing shit right there.

It reads so much like a joke that I kept looking fort the part where you say they were trolling us all along, except it didn’t come.
I don’t even know where to start, so here goes in no particular order :

I mean, that’s better, but an Escape is still overkill. You can make do perfectly fine with a kid and pulling a couple jetskis in a Fiesta.

In Europe, people use those to pull their camper trailers !

I’m going to sound like Captain Obvious, but the camo on this one is not so you can’t exactly tell what car it is, but to prevent from seeing exactly what it looks like. Under the camo, the appearance of the preproduction cars may vary from those who will be released. The zebra design also makes it more difficult to…

You mean you usually don’t have any grown-up’s juice at home ?

Way to make your username check out. Not every business owner rolls in cash and can afford to pay their employees if they don’t make a dime for a few days.

Also, being rude doesn’t make people look tough. It makes them look rude, and it’s never a good look.

Funny, I thought the color was the only thing nice about the whole car.

The big american station-wagons of yore also had that feature.

I guess the answer as to why this isn’t more widespread is a mix of :
_ Fear of a lawsuit in case someone gets intoxicated with carbon monoxide if they stay in their car while idling.
_ It makes the tailgate both heavier and more expensive to produce for…

People like that are asking for what’s coming their way.

Sooner or later he’s gonna be in an accident, and if the past year’s worth of news report has taught us anything, if the dipshit survives the accident you better believe he’s going to come up with a lawsuit against Tesla, the road-maintenance-agency, and every…

No, it most likely isn’t. At best it’s equally unsafe, but even the texting-and-driving-idiot you describe most probably has a faster reaction time than a despicable douche who is sleeping.

Nope, I’m saying 4 years before deliveries is too early to start teasing a new car.

The actual current Supra concept is the FT-1, shown in 2014. That’s when the hype machine really started, fueled by Toyota.

Before that, it was just another rumour, like the next-gen Ford Excursion, a Pontiac revival, the new Scion xWhatever or mid-engine corvettes... Well, that last one until the first real spyshots…

That’s... not as tacky as I thought it would be.

Way too much faux-gold for my taste, and those pseudo-18th century furnitures look out of place on a 1980's yacht (although, to be fair, where else would they be ?), but that’s pretty tame as far as over-the-top yachts go.

The electric Porsche has been talked about on the internet for four years, and it’s still nearlly a year from being released.

There were talk about a new gen Supra since the last one hit the market, but Toyota has been really hyping it up and teasing it since the FT-1 concept in 2014.

I wouldn’t say the equivalence is…

Unfortunately no, it was several years ago in a magazine. I’ll try to look it up and post a link if I do find it.

I don’t know if trains wear the infrastructure at a faster rate than automobiles, taking into account the number of people / mass of freight they carry. (They could, I legitimately don’t know)

If you regard it by pound transported, yes, trains are vastly superior than virtually all modes of transport.

I remember reading a study a few years ago, granted it only talked about french trains. Maybe in America there’s still a sizeable portion that still uses ICE engines, which would obviously change a lot of…

How durable does it seem to be ?

How much of a comfort penalty do you take it daily drive it, compared to a similarly priced new car ?

Is it powerful enough to be fun ?

I... got nothing much to say about it.

Sure, that announcement sounds impressive, and the Taycan looks sleek and neat and modern. But it doesn’t awaken anything in me. Reading about it, and all of its incredible specs and incredible technologies is a bit like reading the review of a high-tech washing machine to me.…
