I do not do Karting whatsoever. I used to flag races at Mid Ohio, Nelson ledges, and other tracks with the SCCA,. Watching a guy go head first into a concrete wall out of a Kart at well over a hundred miles per hour pretty much convinced me of that. I want a case around me when I race. Thankfully, I have two daughters who should be graduating from college next year, and my sons employer is picking up his college classes, so i should be able to start racing again next year. See, i am just the opposite. I find the only small cars I really like to be the Abarth 500, Miata, Fiesta ST, BRZ/86 twins. And even then I have things I really dislike about all of them. Not sure at all of what to do when VW buys my TDI back.

Which actually can be downright obscene.

Frisky's Personal GTI Long Term Review
They have a very nice, linear power delivery. Tuned GTI's can make amazing amounts of power.

Industry News: Henrik Fisker Gives The Car Maker Business Another Go
Given Teslas shaky financial status, the Bolt and the Fisker are both huge. I seriously am beginning to doubt we will even see an actual model three built by Tesla-he is hemorrhaging cash at a prodigious rate, and the merger with Solar city does not help matters either. Thankfully, we have GM and Ford also. They have both driven a model S, taken it apart, and driven it again. They have the battery technology to start building an assortment of affordable electric cars any time they want, which should be in the next ten years with multiple models from both of them.

GM is holding quite steady and has been in business steadily building cars for a century or so. Do you not think they understand the market? Also, see the BMW sales for the month, they have lost their mojo. GM is not Jeep. One could just as easily criticize Porsche for not having 7 SUV's....different strokes for different folks. I used to think that, but a small SUV might be kind of cool. i really liked the Bronco in the other thread, and if Chryco ever got it together on the Renegade I would be in their showroom ready to sign....

September 2016: BMW Group U.S.
Dated and not good to begin with. At least Lexus has decent build quality and resale to go with their somewhat odd styling. But BMW resale gets as bad as Benz. My son looked at a clean 2012 BMW M5, clean Title, like 80,000 miles....they wanted $12,500....on what was originally a very expensive car. $12,500 will buy you a 2012 Malibu or Sonata with lower miles....but is in that ballpark. Lots of BMW and Benz products run through the Ohio auto auction at absurdly low prices. Repair costs and reliability have a lot to do with it in both cases.

Cats methinks are often smarter than humans. You have my deepest sympathy. Now go to a vintage truck show before that awful image burns itself into your brain and you are more damaged than you already are. Which is sort of saying something, actually.
