Why EVs Have a Long Road Ahead
ONLY if it's at least 210" long with Brocade upholstery options and a 4 body trunk. Putting it on a cramped, plasticy subcompact CUV with mood lighting & Apple car play would be an utter travesty. Some things should just be left alone. How many people live in Denver CO? That's how many thumbs down (times 2 of course) I'd give toward the idea of using 'Electra'. "It's derived from a fossil fuel destroying jet, but it sounds like 'electric' so it's great!" Frankly, it's hard to puzzle out how simplistic & dumbed down the consumer has become. 'Car 1', 'Car A', 'Car A1', 'Car Type A'. Pathetic.

maybe daimler is looking to create another G - make the GLE & GLS go without changes for 45 years. "Makin' it iconic."

Bentley News: New Bentley CEO Admits They Were Not Ready For the Electrification Trend
Can't take a jet everywhere or at a moment's notice. And no- all bentley owners don't also own a jet. Where do you come up with these fantasy non-realities? Point is/was " if you're spending $250K on a EV, shouldn't it at least get the same MPGe as a nissan?

Ford Model A w/ rumbleseat, dark red, rollin in commuter traffic. circa '64 Chevy II 2-dr, white, very clean, big tires out back, behind garage. '62-64 Corvair Monza convert, white top over black, very clean, on car carrier.- Random Thoughts Thread
A Polara- different fins than the Dart. I still drive by a Quonset hut garage out in the country where I vividly remember looking at a med blue '60 Dart Seneca 2-dr sedan for sale, with back-up light deletes and a transplanted 383. That would've been right about 1988.- Random Thoughts Thread

I took the 'VW 911' pic above, but the vast majority of the pics I post in here are from the web. RE the Packard, the pics I have of it came off of Craigslist, where I frequently just search by -say- "1948" (or a bunch of years from late '40s thru mid '60s), and I only bother to search my area... so that one was in Jersey, yes. :D- April Car Spotter
Not a huge lovefest for the 'bathtub' Packards (to which I would concur). They are well built and the I8 was buttery smooth, but IMO they just had no snap, pizazz or moxie. So when I see one (this is a 1948 Super 8), sometimes my mind's eye wanders. I think the I8 could be moved rearward, making it a mid-engined Packard 'Road Slug' :- Hyundai News:Hyundai Santa Cruz Pickup is Still Coming

A beautiful design from any angle. That's a '72 (no decklid louvers, offset rear plate) - same year car I had (smacked, but gave up it's powertrain for my '59). I've seen a bunch of this gen where people split the front bumper ALA the RS Camaro of the same years. Yep- all boattails had 455s.- Hyundai News:Hyundai Santa Cruz Pickup is Still Coming
