GenX, born in 1970. I was 21 in 1991 and everybody cool had one of these:

Mid-to-late Gen X was dominated by the late 80's/early 90's Honda, at least for us middle class teenagers in my town. Those wonderful and indestructible boxes were so ubiquitous at my high school, the only way to tell which Accord or Civic was yours in the parking lot was to memorize your license plate number.

Gen X, driving age - late 80s / early 90s.

In the past, EVs were eligible for federal tax credits regardless of their origin, but the latest rules say EVs qualify for subsidies based on their country of assembly and the origin of their major components such as batteries.

This is a strange story about a strange survey. Not much context and so many unexplained variables. Do I have to go read the survey?

Advertised prices from dealerships usually hide this from you to make their cars look less overpriced. And other than us car nerds, that’s the only time most people pay attention to car prices.

So this will fit in a S2000 right?

I was ready to say NP for a fun little runabout in the waning days of the ICE, but the automatic transmission throws a giant “why bother?” into the proverbial gears.

I present to you the 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo Intimidator Edition. It delivers all the intimidation that a 200hp, FWD, 4 speed auto can possibly give. This has to be one of the biggest poseur badge jobs in history.

This isn’t about all EVs. It’s about non-competitive EVs piling up at dealers.

If you can’t afford a new car, you effectively don’t exist to automakers

Lower prices increases sales rather often.  

“The dealers have pointed to a lack of demand for less-than-affluent customers”

Yup, Volvo is learning the hard way to not trust Google when they promise the world. Sure, use Android Automotive, but be prepared to invest heavily into building on top the bare MVP level of code by Google.

Google is absolutely not an expert of security of hardware safety and navigation systems. They can barely make phones. Software in cars poses a fundamentally new challenge: digital security and privacy, together with physical safety systems. Car companies know how to test, validate, prove, and absolutely ensure the…
