Actually this is one of the better lists you have done. The 987 is an incredible amount of car for the money....

And I have been here almost ten years, time flies!

Great, so I get five cars and five motorcycles from another thread...cool...I like this game!

I used to, I now work in the facilities department of a university repairing pretty much everything that breaks. Technically I take care of on campus housing for upper classmen, but my job involves pretty much a little of everything.... Tuition benefit comes in real handy with kids. My middle daughter is a senior at Otterbein and my younger son is at Pacific Lutheran. Wagons are just the bomb....

Can you imagine the cost savings in business when electric takes off? Back when i was running a service van driving the bucket truck on a regular basis, and fueling a daily for my wife and myself...plus my hobby vehicles...I was buying between $200 and $400 in fuel a week....or more... NEC does not allow 440 installed in homes at the present, but 220 ought to be adequate.

Congrats...getting some things done myself....

The other thing I think people will like is charging at home....I hate buying fuel when I am trying to get home from work.

Toyota is too conservative in their corporate culture. The Supra, which was supposed to be a uniquely styled super car, is looking like it will look like a late 1990's prelude. The Flagship LS 400 is bland for a car at that price point....almost to the point of absurdity. The Camry is riding on a 2002 platform IIRC. Limited options with the 86, the one interesting vehicle they build....and limited additional development. Corolla is decent but outclassed by the Mazda 3 and several other cars in its segment...and no additional development money from Toyota. Prius sells well in other markets but the current car has serious limitations in this market. Tundra is outclassed by domestics with eleventy billion more packages and options... Tacoma is nice for what it is but really pricey... They are not convincing me that they want to move forward with this latest offering.

Motorcycle would be an awesome addition...Ducati for me please...

Give it fifteen years....

Agreed. .,..and look how far we have come in fifteen years. When the Prius first came out, people laughed...now hybrids are becoming much more mainstream. I would expect urban areas to be the real growth centers for this. Here in Columbus we are having charging stations pop up all over. As the more urban creative class of people will probably drive EV sales...having a charging network would be a great way to draw this type of person to your city to live. And this is the paradigm we need to be working with, intellectually moving forward and improving all technologies. Com petition is the nature of the free enterprise system, and competition from Diesel and EV is pushing development in gasoline motors...exactly the way that it should be.

So to what extent will cities themselves play in the electrification of Europe? With population density, would seem like a no brainier for a lot of the funding to come from cities themselves.

All of the styling cues of Alfa that work with none of the downsides....

I find certain things such as the styling and the awkward finish of the wheels kind of off putting on the Civic....

Mazda three is much nicer than Civic, IMHO.
