Depending on your location and use. I think two 30 mile+ commutes to work and my regular shopping via ridesharing-du-jour will be much more than a car payment.

Im with you. The auto journo fever dream of a Corvette brand is based in the land of stupidity and lack of business sense. Corvette is a model, not a brand and just because Ford went full retard and named their electric crossover “Mustang” does not equate to sound business strategy.

how about an electric cross-over called the Corvette BoltVolt

Wait, nobody is going to comment on this “hypothetical brand expansion” of Corvette into SUVs? Then allow me to start that conversation.

That waste is actually all factored into the EPA ratings. They dont look at energy used by your motors to move the car, they just look at energy leaving the socket and how many miles you went.

I looked at the Street Twin and the Guzzi V7 before pulling the trigger on the Enfield. Both definitely seem more “premium,” but when you’re riding it, the Enflied feels more alive and has the same general handling/braking capabilities (even if, as a 650cc, it’s noticeably slower than the Triumph).
