  • Chris "If" our performance future is electric"??? Make no mistake..it is. There are a plenty of examples of performance EV's that beat the crap out of most ICE cars. My Kia EV6 GT will beat most cars on the road in a straight line (11.3 s 1/4 mile- best pass). This is only the beginning. When a Tesla Plaid, at around $73K used can beat most dedicated races cars...the future is upon us. Why fight it.
  • Mister Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't a single-cab version in the current generation of RAM trucks. So I guess Stellantis is giving up the bottom dollar fleet market entirely.
  • Tailpipe Tommy "Easier navigation functionality." You know what's easy? iDrive 6/7. Peak functionality, actual knobs/ buttons, fast, intuitive, not buggy. Everything after 7 has been an unmitigated disaster. Can't wait for iDrive 9, when they completely switch hardware & software platforms and base it all on Android Auto OS. Also the screen will probably be so big that it will block the driver's view out of the car.
  • UncleAL I hereby present my offer to buy Fisker, in all cash, for a dollar two ninety !Or, I can just max out my credit card ($1,000 limit)....
  • FreedMike No way anyone could have seen this coming.
