The Fords, IONIQ 5, Integra, and whatever the AMG GT35 is (lol - I assume just a lesser model GT55 or 63 or whatever their numbers are now).

What I find ironic here is, people living IN a big city are stuck using public charging or hoping their parking garage has charging available. Whereas people OUTSIDE of big cities have homes and garages and you can conveniently charge at home for very little money, compared to public charging. Luckily, there are still ICE vehicles for this. Also, both of those are such rare occurrences for most people that it doesn't really matter a whole lot. Most people are not taking road trips weekly or monthly, maybe a couple times a year. People scared of road tripping are comical. They act like they're driving 500 miles a day and will need to sit at a public charger for hours a day. If you road trip a lot, don't buy an EV yet. For those who road trip a couple times a year, you'll be perfectly okay and 99% of your life will be more convenient with an EV. They're not for everybody and I understand that people are scared of new technology. They'll progress in the next decade, just like other technologies have. There will literally ALWAYS be a compromise going from one fuel source to another. You just have to weigh what's more convenient to you. Do you prefer going to gas stations and changing oil while having longer driving range or do you prefer charging at home with no oil changes but shorter driving range? Everybody's scenario is different and EVs are perfect for a lot of people and ICE are perfect for a lot of people but there will always be a compromise going from one fuel source to another.

I would, naturally, assume this would be part of their testing prior to putting them in a vehicle.

A FB friend took these this weekend in Detroit. These pictures look way better than what Ford released.

EXACTLY

I don't think we have anything to worry about here. Tesla is slower than the legacies when it comes to releasing an all-new product. If it hasn't been announced and shown yet (which it hasn't) then we're looking at 5-7 years, minimum until somebody can buy one. And the legacies don't lobby for their own interests...hence the dealership model making it difficult for Tesla to sell automobiles for no legitimate reason other than legacy companies pulling strings behind closed doors. They're all the same when it comes to this. They all want the upper hand in everything they can.

I watched this yesterday and I had to ask myself, whose voice is this? Is this your voice? Sorry for the awkward question, I've just never heard you talk! Hahaha. Just for the record, the voice wasn't bothersome in any way, I'm just curious. If I'm being picky, I'm not in love with the wing. Buuuuut, I do think I like everything else in this variation, especially that paint!

That means it has to be north of 526hp, because of the GT350, right? I feel EXACTLY this. I'm just not sure but I'm leaking towards liking it..? While it doesn't exactly make any logical sense, I completely agree with you. It just "feels" like it should have an analog dash but, then again, the current mustang has an optional digital cluster already, doesn't it?

I was actually just about to say that I bet every one of us has a story where a friend, family member, coworker, or ourselves have run out of gas at one point. I, personally, have never run out of gas but I certainly know people who have. One of my best friends burnt up his fuel pump in his '97 Z/28 (30th anniversary) because he ran it dry and tried to start it up a couple times once he ran out. One of these bad boys. I loved this car.

I live very much in the Mid West and I can't think of the last time I drove over 300 miles that wasn't a vacation. You'd leave home every day with a full charge. That 10 minute wait would only be needed when road tripping. You'd be amazed how many Teslas and now Hyundai/Kia EVs I see here.

I just read something on this and I believe the ones not included were listed under "submitted". I assume this means they've sent their proposal for the funds but it hasn't been approved yet. I have a feeling this will happen a "fair amount" with these extremely heavy EVs that are insanely quick, R1T, Hummer, Lightning. Trying to haul 8-10,000lb down from those acceleration rates is beyond the capabilities of the vehicle and physics.

What are you talking about? Every EV article talks about range AND charge times. In fact, can you supply us a review of an electric vehicle that DOESN'T mention range or charge times?

Nothing more American than shopping for a Chinese built American branded automobile! ?

In the last 20 years, has anybody ever gone to a Chevy/Buick/GMC dealership and were looking for a Buick prior to getting there? I feel like people buy Buicks because they kind of "fell into them". They certainly liked the product but I don't know anybody who started car shopping FOR a Buick. I definitely know people who have bought Buicks but I'm almost positive none of them went to the dealership actively looking for a Buick. They went looking at the Chevy or GMC and liked the Buick more or it was priced/packaged how they wanted.

I, too, hate the crossover coupe bullsheet.

That was exactly the first thing I thought of, as well. Recalls absolutely do not equate reliability or unreliability.

Yeah, I'm not really understanding how they can be just as "shytty as the next OEM" either. A couple big recalls and they're on par with "everybody else"..?

That's a pretty bold statement about a company who is leading the US in total sales.

I know I don't have some proof to back this up, but it just feels like you're using your anecdotal evidence to say that. While I don't think Toyotas are some magical world marvel that every one will last a million miles with minimal maintenance, I still find it hard to believe that they aren't in the top tier. They sell millions of vehicles every year solely based on reliability and I can't imagine they're all just getting burned on this by being completely average.

I'd agree, the whole exterior package is pretty awesome. It looks phenomenal in that profile picture.

I fckn love that blue. 0-100mph in less than four seconds is absolutely bonkers.

I have no doubts that this will continue to be an Italian unreliable POS though.. But it seems like a compelling product.

Also, that transmission that needed replacing in 2010 isn't a Corvette Transmission either. The Vette has a transaxle in the rear and your TBSS does not.
