what s wrong with this picture the porsche cafe edition

Who’s afraid of t he 2016 CAFE standard ramp-up? Not the gas-electric hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. With 0-60 in 3.2 seconds from a racing-derived V8, and an extra 218 hp of electric power, the 918 Spyder could theoretically get 78 mpg, according to Porsche [full release at Egmcartech]. Just try not to think what all that racing-derived goodness would cost new.

Now if they just sell like hotcakes at a colony of hotcake addicts in the middle of a hotcake shortage, porsche can keep on selling cars in the US. Remember, the average MPG is sale weighed, so it's not enough to build a very fuel efficient car, you have to sell them, and this thing will not be cheap. So either porsche is doing this for PR reasons, so that they can claim to be trying, or they will have to sell them at a loss, and try to recoup it with higher prices on their other cars.

If they keep the price below $10 and >200mpg, I'm sold.

Rrp138519787 If Jeep wanted to re-introduce the Wagoneer name, they just should have named the Grand Cherokee L the Wagoneer instead, and done a little bit more styling differentiation. They could have done a super deluxe version as the Grand Wagoneer. But all Wagoneers would have been the three row version as the primary product differentiation. And would cause less confusion for consumers overall.
