It also seems vastly wider than the Kei vehicles. 

I want to see all the alternate luggage layouts that some poor sap at Glas had to put together on trace paper. 

Ha, I was the one who sent them that one and I thought it looked familiar. Atlanta has a big film industry so it makes sense.

I would like to point out that the orange signs are not speed limits, but speed advisories signaling a change in road conditions that does not suit the posted limit. You technically could legally take the speed limit of 35, 40, or whatever it was into the turn, but looking at the turn, you’d have to be quite reckless…

We all know the only incorrect answer is a power seat without memory. 

Yes. Though he doesn’t live particularly close to Atlanta and I think this was before he acquired it.

As much as I love the idea of a rotary range extender, if people couldn’t bother to top up the oil in their RX-8s and they had the sound of a much larger rotary to warn them what they are driving, how can you expect people to keep those apex seals lubricated in their electric car?

I saw a Smart car on the freeway the other day and just marvelled at the astronaut-level lack of fear one needs to dice with full and plus-sized vehicles at speed in something with crush zones the size of your feet.

So this “mass transit system” moves less people per hour than a Chic Fil A drive-through?

The cactus garden outside is going to be hilarious in the eastern states if they don’t swap it out for baby pine trees or something else that marketing thinks seems outdoorsy. 

So you’re saying it’s a glory hole?

Electric cars can be just as boring as an appliance gasoline car or they can be every bit as exciting as the most exciting gasoline car. A Nissan Leaf is supposed to be an unremarkable commuter while a Porsche Taycan is successful at being an exciting GT car. That’s like driving a Nissan Versa once and saying all…

What worries me is the position of the fifth after it was displaced by the generator. 

I’ve seen those on the interstate before and can tell you any use outside of low speed stuff around a lot is very much not advised.

Basically the only time I ever see them actually in use is, like you said, in the film industry. Check out this crazily customized one I saw that seems like it would have terrifying handling characteristics due to the tongue position.

We have this too

Plus the burner adventure car as he makes money writing about the junky Jeeps he acquires. 

Or a column shift to enhance the truckliness of it. Column shifters are easy and intuitive but I'm not sure how you'd integrate fancy driving modes without resorting to a touch screen.

For the most part I agree with you but the Opel drivetrain in the first gen Chevy Cruze is the only thing about the car I don’t like while Daewoo’s work is top notch on that car and Lordstown built it very solidly. The stereotypes are generally true but not always.

I actually really like the “piano key shifter,” as you’ve called it, but I found the buttons to be extraordinarily unsatisfying to push in a Lincoln MKZ. I hope they’ve gone and actually given them some tactile feedback because they are very ergonomic and easy to use and something I’d like to see in more cars. Makes…
