Russian Bear posted:I know it's a pretty inferior EV all around, but if it had like 150 mi of range and could charge quickly It would be a win for me (a mazda fanboi). I think it has 175 miles range and charges to 80% in 30 minutes or so, so not too bad actually. Plus the driving and interior is quite nice: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v_kB2BWdU9M They go for like 20k in Germany which isn't bad if you need something to drive around the city

That said I really do like the car but it does show the downsides of using an ICE platform (look at that wasted space in the front)

If Tesla Bjorn's tests are accurate, and it's the same battery capacity we're talking about, it *might* get 175km in nice weather, at 90kph. edit: also charges around 34-38kw max, if what people are saying is accurate.

On his spreadsheet it's about 1/3rd the range of a Model 3 LR in similar conditions. E. That was a moderately cold day on both cars (as cold as it's ever get in my part of the world) which probably affects the charge rate (certainly does on my Leaf) dissss fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jun 8, 2021 |

I was really pulling for Mazda with the RWD upscale Cx-5 replacement, but I'm worried they are going to gently caress it up with 5 inches of black plastic around the whole bottom of the vehicle and wheel arches. I think the vehicle Mazda keeps saying they want to make already exists or will soon exist in the Genesis GV70.

The 2022 Toyota Sienna Woodland Special Edition Is the SUV of Minivans (motortrend) Changes: - 1500W outlet - 0.6" lift - tow hitch Which is just super weak, imo. The 0.6" lift is especially worrisome because it implies it's a lot harder to add more (maybe eats CVs?). I offroad in a 1st gen Sienna, and they need a couple inches more. I'm jealous of the gas mileage, though. Maybe that's why they had to keep it low. When is Toyota gonna release a 4wd minivan with lockers for me and like 50 other people in the world who would buy it?

skipdogg posted:Are you happy with this outcome? Just curious. Maybe the Nautilus will be a better car I'm OK - financially it was a good deal driven by the increase in value vs the residual in the original lease, the lease subsidies Lincoln is doing on the Nautilus, and the barrel I had the dealership over. The general manager put the deal together, seemed like he had already been ripped several new ones already this week. I'll be working with him directly until I'm confident in their abilities to provide the services they advertise. I definitely could have walked with a check from the equity and gotten not-a-Lincoln, but it would have involved a lot more effort on a rainy day where I was just trying to get where I was going.

New Maverick is great. Perfect size and specs for 90% of the road users and you can grab a fully loaded one for 36 grand. Edit: obvious sponsored video and Tommy is tall but it looks like a good size in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96MN5IyhcDA Tenchrono fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Jun 8, 2021 |

Wait hybrid is standard?!?! Sign me the gently caress up. I won’t be in the market until next year at the earliest though, by the time I get to it there will hopefully be an AWD option. With the tailgate down I should be able to get a washer and dryer combo up there, right? I am perpetually carting appliances in older trucks I have access to.

The Meat Dimension posted:Wait hybrid is standard?!?! It looks like there is already an AWD option. quote:Buyers looking for a bit more capability can upgrade to a 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder non-hybrid drivetrain. It makes a claimed 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, and sends power to the wheels via an eight-speed torque converter automatic. Front-wheel-drive is standard here too, with all-wheel-drive optional. Upgrading to the EcoBoost engine will cost "roughly" $1100, according to Maverick and Ranger marketing manager Trevor Scott.

The biggest problem with the Maverick now is my fear that they won't be available at MSRP bevause of this shortage. The actual reveal is still later right? I want know if it has that f150 bed outlet feature.

Looks like the bed one may be standard, the in-cab one is a $150 option on the base model.

According to the video posted up there ^^^^, there's an outlet in the bed plus a dedicated fused 12V circuit for other accessories so you don't have to tap into the taillight harness. At just a half a sneeze under 200" I'd have to move my workbench but it would fit in my garage. Aw yiss
