    Toyota will pay 150% of KBB Excellent Condition to buy it back from him.

    I see it as a budget Genesis, much like the K900. Aside from the badge, it is not related to any of the lower Kia line and has more in common with the Genesis line.

    Speaking of raising temperatures, @balthazar how would you heat a semi-finished basement?
  4. Drew Dowdell
    Average global temperature increases do not parallel local weather. Global temps changing can be cause magnification of local weather extremes in both directions.

    Moving on...
  6. Drew Dowdell
    Not at all. Just more are being offered as plug-in by default.
  7. Drew Dowdell
    Again, most Niros are not plug-ins. Inside EVs won't cover those.

    I don't know. I haven't been paying much attention to these.... but to go to 3rd place hybrid in less than a year is saying something.
  9. Drew Dowdell
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Indeed.... the Land Cruiser is the Japanese equivalent of the G Wagon.

    The new LS isn't out yet and the old one is out of production.

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

    water spots are less bad than salt.

    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.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    I'm sure it caused a burning sensation in his fingers to type it.

    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.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    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.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Well, now that we all know what you're doing in front of the computer all the time.... Maybe we can all chip in and buy you one of these..... http://amzn.to/2F10WxW
  23. Drew Dowdell
    I generally try to not to edit people's posts. I let people's dumb posts stand for all to see.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Effortlessly? I beg to differ. It's going to take me hours of effort to replace the starter in my CRV.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    My 4 year old nephew is definitely going to be a Jeep Wrangler guy.
