Again, most Niros are not plug-ins. Inside EVs won't cover those.- 20 replies

Most Niros are just regular hybrids, not plug-ins. While that doesn't explain why that website doesn't list them, they wouldn't stack them in their statistics using the full number of Niros sold.- 20 replies

It went from 0 to 27,237 in about 6 months with virtually no marketing. It was introduced at the Chicago auto show in February last year and went on sale in September this year. It's already the number 3 hybrid in sales. To catch up to to number 3 in that short a time is indeed a knock out.- 20 replies

Aside from cost, the old Hyundai Genesis isn't the equivalent, the Equus was. Today that would be a G90. So in a few years you might be able to snag one of those.- 20 replies

No city is good for driving. For that area though, I can just point my hood ornament westward and be fine. I grew up about 40 minutes south of where I'm looking and I'm in the area often for work. I'm also not afraid to drive into NYC with my old girl... The Prius taxis are scared of me.

Funny you mention that... NYC area (NJ, just over the Hudson) is #1 on the list right now.

I'd need a completely different pace of life to live there..... but I need a completely different pace of life to live here.... so 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

I keep my eyes on those K900s also. For the price you can pick them up at, they are a comfort cruiser lover's dream.- 20 replies

I am surprised / not surprised at the Niro's performance. I'm surprised it took off so quickly for an unknown name with little marketing, but I'm not surprised because it is a really good product for the price and target market. And as far as hitting the core segment out there... it's a largish compact with a "crossover" shape and it's a hybrid. With a starting price of $23k, it's no wonder it's turning into a knock-out hit.- 20 replies

Industry News: Most Electric Cars Sold in the U.S. Are Leased
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
I think for people who don't care, car sharing, car subscriptions, and various schemes like that will increase. They'll take the place of the CamCordTima crowd. For the people who do care, there will still be the niche products out there.- 33 replies

You can still do it at other price levels as well. I picked that one because you can get Super Cruise on CT6- 48 replies

With the weather we're having here lately, moving to Miami to be closer to my parents is looking very attractive.

I mean more like an article. There have been articles downvoted before. Bobo's post is essentially an annual article that he puts together for us every year. Old's stuff usually just confuses me so I'm not ever sure whether to upvote, downvote, or do confused eyes.

Well, for the same price, you also have the option of the CTS V-Sport Premium Luxury with the expensive paint and fancier leather seats. This is the overlap that Cadillac is trying to cure. XTS V-Sport Platinum - $72,090 CTS V-Sport Premium Luxury with white tri-coat and kona brown leather - $73,015 CT6 3.0TT Premium Luxury with Super Cruise - $73,290- 48 replies
