Oh I believe it. It just LOOKS like a high strung bike but, more than likely, it would strictly be a toy to me so there wouldn't be much commuting anywhere with it. There probably are computer settings for "comfort" driving through that would likely soften up the throttle and make it easier or calmer when just commuting. There's probably a "rain" setting that really softens the throttle up. I need to worry about a garage before getting a bike...unfortunately...

You know it!

6th gear being 1:1 means its a true sports car.

Yes, I understand what you're saying. How many chargers are there in total, outside of the "Ford" network?

Not surprisingly, a Miata is not suited for MrSUV. I've never gotten the chance to drive a Miata but they've always looked like a little riot to drive. I also think these look really good in RF guise as I'm not a fan of soft tops at all.

There also aren't 16,000 Costcos in the US, there are 558.

Personally, and from experience with what every single company ever has done, I very much expect the AWD performance model to not be offered on the base trim and it'll be a pretty penny more than the base model.

Yeah, I think as more get into charging their vehicles it'll force higher quality chargers and more of them. People will(and are) get fed up with chargers not working or charging waaaay slower than their rating.

"... performance all-wheel drive option available." This does lead me to believe it'll be a 10k package because it'll likely be matched with more powerful motors and/or battery.

All of these exotic CAR companies coming out with SUVs are absolutely touting their SUV as a real SUV but with added performance and luxury features. DBX3.webp

I mean... I'm a middle child of three and my parents had an older chrysler minivan before making a sweet jump to a GMC Safari with the raised roof and a DANG TV(maybe 6-8 inches ?)! That's how people think these days.. I have a coworker who recently had their first child and they got rid of his Sonata for a Traverse. One kid.

It was a question based on 4 door SUVs not being considered "family haulers", brought up by others. "family haulers" need three rows...? Most families are less than four people(3.14, to be exact).

They have 4drs for the same reasons luxury sedans have 4 doors.. to carry 4 people. Not necessarily as a family hauler. Am I missing something? Are two kids and two parents no longer a family? Or parents and one kid?

I ALMOST typed " *sarcasm* " but didn't think it was truly necessary.

I love the size of the Sport. I've walked around a Velar in our work parking garage and they're like weirdly low. I don't know a good way to describe them but, I believe, I could look over the rearmost roofline onto the roof and I'm only 5'8". It just has that much of a rake and then the bottom "pinches" upward for ground clearance. It was just a little awkward on an otherwise very attractive vehicle. This is about the best I can quickly find for a comparison.

I believe the 2nd row folds down and then up also, or at least it slides forward, @balthazar Modern crew cab trucks could almost fit a 3rd row in the same space the 2nd row is, they're massive back there.

The big Rover doesn't offer a 3rd row but, funny enough, the Sport has an optional 3rd row. I cannot imagine how cramped it would be back there but it is available. FWIW, the Discovery and Defender also offer a 3rd row. @balthazar, now you have be running down the Range Rover Sport rabbit hole(because I'd love one some day). I'm pricing one out, just for shts, and I know you have a huge issue with pricing on paints. Check this out. There's only one color that's "free", Fuji White. Five colors that are $710.00 One for $1550.00 Thirteen colors that are $4550.00 Most of those thirteen colors have a satin option that changes the $4550 to $7450. One "Special" color, "Icy White", that costs $9200 that can also be made satin totaling $12,050. How absurd are those prices?!?! I came across these because I was like, "Dang, British Racing Green?! YES, Please! Oh...$4550.00..."

I have little interest in the EQS. I'm disappointed it isn't closer to a "conventional" sedan as its aesthetics don't do anything for me.

I just cannot get on board that rear 1/4 of the vehicle. It just doesn't work at all for me.

Agreed and that's a completely different scenario. A: That's what gears are for. Go to a low gear, virtually ZERO resistance. If one wants zero resistance, they're not looking for any workout whatsoever. B: Yes, I've biked in mountains in West Virginia.

e-assist for bicycles is for people who think they want to workout but will only do so a couple random weeks per year. They will NEVER get into any decent kind of shape with a bike like that and a mindset that goes along with them.

Bikes already have their own built-in "super-duper easy mode". GEARS.jfif

We knew GM would GM-it somewhere. It's ridiculous to not offer AWD.
