    That's a really competitive for a car that is half the price of a Tesla. However, that honeymoon will likely be short as the next Nissan LEAF is going to have a range over 200 miles and has better name brand recognition than the Bolt.

    unlike some people, I'm not against electrification or hybridization. I don't like to waste energy and if I can recapture energy when I'm braking to use it for acceleration, than I'm all for it. If I can power my commute with wind turbines or solar, I'm all for it. I like silence in my cars and I like lots of torque... both specialties of electric power, but in the end, I'm truly agnostic as to what I use for fuel as long as it has those qualities. My limitation at the moment is the need for AWD.... there are so few hybrid AWD vehicles right now, and even fewer that are affordable, that it basically takes electrification off the table for me. But if GM put the CT6 PHEV powertrain in a new Chevy Avalanche 4x4, I'd be first in line at Chevy with my deposit.

    This is just about as easy a recall as it gets.... the only easier recalls I've seen are when they have to put an extra sticker on the coolant reservoir to tell you not to drink the anti-freeze.

    At the earliest, I would think in its 3rd year... so MY 2019

    Just to make sure we're on the same page, I'm referring to the Karma Revero, not the Fisker Atlantic.... the Atlantic is 3-series/C-Class sized

    The have very long hoods. The pictures have always distorted the size and scale of these cars. They could probably fit a V12 under there with no problem.

    Breaks the "no top shelf" rule.

    When you're sorting through 7 years of articles... M Coupe starts to look a lot like Mini Cooper

    This car's layout works best with a gas range extender. Full EVs generally need to be purpose built to be efficient in packaging.
  12. Drew Dowdell
    Both of those are coupes.

    Let's see your top 5!

    Sorry, I just don't trust Serg at this point.

    These are such beautiful cars from the outside, but the interior leaves a lot to be desired, especially for that price. I have driven one of the original Fisker Karmas, and it was a neat thing to drive. What they really need to do is get the Atlantic going.

    So, because of the suggestions above, I started doing a major forum reorganization. It's going to take me at least a few days to get everything into the right place as it is a very manual process. Thanks for your patience.

    Sleep makes me productive the other two thirds

    When is the last time you bought a sedan? I can't think of one in the entire time you've been here.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    Getting very close to running it sounds
  20. Drew Dowdell
    try and get some sleep....
  21. Drew Dowdell
    A battle it regularly and do my best to avoid those pills.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Are you drunk?
  23. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, that's kinda what I thought.... plus they get out of date and I forget to correct them.

    Forum Descriptions: Yea or Nay? (some of them have to stay, but I was planning on wiping out the descriptions under each brand)
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Market value isn't made up, it's a very real thing.
