As a Californian I voted no. The feds are pumping money into charging stations already. Tesla has a ton in the state and the others are building more and more so I did not see a need to raise taxes on anyone, even millionaires, to fund this with little guarantee that the money would only be used for this and not…
And better looking than the competitors too.
I’m liking my 2018 Stinger GT2 AWD a lot (bought new). After driving a 5-speed 1989 Mustang GT (hatchback, of course) for 30 years, and shopping for a new car after retirement, I just couldn’t pull the trigger on a much desired new Mustang.
In fairness, if your automobile mindset is still in 2002? Then all new cars are going to be off-putting to you.
Looks great. This is going to sell so well, especially in our local area. It feels like the current XC90 is the upper-middle class SUV de rigueur around these parts - affluent Northern California. It’s more practical (7 seats) and less flashy than a Range Rover, less aggressive in design than the Audi Q7 or BMW X7.…
New cars - particularly from luxury or premium brands - have essentially been highly advanced computers on wheels for about 2 decades now.
This is just a very mild facelift of the current e-tron SUV, a perfectly fine car, but it seems really weird to call it a Q8 though, since size-wise it’s much smaller than a Q7 and the ICE Q8 which is a completely different car. Q6 would make more sense.
I’ll wait to see the CarFax. Philip probably rolled it a few times.
The smallest car I would have now would be Macan-sized, but it’s funny how where you live makes a difference. My first car in the UK was a 1999 VW Golf which felt “big” compared to the Clios and Saxos my friends had, and then last year I sold what I would consider a “small” car here in California, a Porsche Macan S.
Its a jeep thing.
I think that’s a pretty good approach. Porsche has always run that playbook pretty effectively with the Cayenne, getting buyers to pay the same price for a more basic Cayenne as they would for a better equipped and more powerful BMW, Audi or Mercedes. A lot of people would probably sacrifice some of the toys and…
Aston’s problem is that, yes, they are a luxury supercar manufacturer with an incredible pedigree, but they priced too high for what you’re ultimately getting. Not as agile as a Ferrari or Lamborghini, yet not as luxurious and well screwed together as a Bentley. If they really want profits, they need to turn…
Get the BMW if you want to set the standard for Ugly.
No, it won’t
I saw one the other day and no, it doesn’t look better in person. It’s an unattractive vehicle that commits the sin of TRYING to look like an electric vehicle.
