    Cross shopping w Lucid

    Not sure if you drove the Lucid, but it's a different car. Don't forget their was a price increase this month on the Lucid. I'll will most likely get a refund by the end of the this month on my Grand Touring Forget heritage etc. I also have a different opinion on range/efficiency...

    Rented a Model Y

    The suspension is total garbage in the 3/Y. Not sure how anyone that has any understanding of automobiles or experience in a decent car can drive these and fall in love with Tesla. You also feel like you're riding in a tin can. The only good part of the 3/Y is the low dash and Porsche like...

    Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

    I got the SWB. I love the ride quality and visibility, but I can't stand the feeling of ICE. They did a remarkable job with the infotainment UI and the screen is very sharp Im ready for the BEV version asap

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Can you feel the difference with the Taycan having the second gear when at higher speeds? I found the M50 coming alive after 60mph

    The New 7 Series BMW

    Not to derail the conversation, but there are cultural difference in regions with cars. A large GMC Yukon with 15 cup holders is an American car, not so much for Switzerland. There is a reason the VW ID3 is in the European market and not the US market. How can you can say cultural/regional...

    The New 7 Series BMW

    I never said I didnt like the car. I actually do like it, especially the new headlights. I do wish BMW would do a pure EV platform. I have an understanding of the Chinese market from people I know in China that work with different OEMs and develop auto manufacturing factories. The Chinese...

    The New 7 Series BMW

    As a rule of thumb, big grills and heavy tech with captains chair rear seating is for China. 31" 8k theater screen is China I really don't like the platform sharing architecture for all drive trains BMW is using

    Test drove EV6, ID.4 and Polestar 2

    I think Ford is marketing the Mach E correctly by calling it a Mustang. It dilutes the brand of Mustang to enthusiast like us, but when you think of the most important market like China, it makes a lot of sense. Same with Europe. Mustang is a very US centric car, but the brand expands beyond...

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Im curious what focus group BMW used to green light this design?

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Most dealers in socal should have the iX and the I4 as demos This was Penske in OC

    Test drove EV6, ID.4 and Polestar 2

    Previous I-Pace owner. I agree its an incredible machine, but its in a the luxury segment of EVs and over $70k. The driving dynamics and steering are never talked about. To me its the best EV after the J1 brothers PS Love the portofino blue! Ive driven all of those and the Polestar is the most...

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Agreed on the ICE roots. I strongly prefer a pure BEV platform over BMWs method of 1 platform for all propulsion systems. To me the J1 was such a revolution in auto manufacturering I drove the iX yesterday. I really liked it and was very aroused by the carbon fiber. It's an extremely...

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Yes I didn't even think of the aesthetics of the BMW. It's such a boring and dated look as you say. I focus on driving dynamics, build quality, fit and finish. It's better looking than a Tesla 3P and a far superior interior. Granted the Tesla is faster, but the suspension of the BMW is not...

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    I ended up looking at it before leavings the car and it had 219 Miles of range with 94% SOC. I was full throttle the entire time. Range/efficiency is not something I usually focus on.

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Drove the BMW i4 M50. What Fun & exhilarating experience. So much torque that it was hard to keep traction on launch & while driving. It makes a rumbling/growling noise on launch control. It comes alive over 70mph, definitely made for the Autobahn. Fun factor is off the charts. Its smaller...

    How big is the iX grille?

    Chinese market loves these big grills. Being that China is every OEMs dream, Im certain this was the target audience

    How big is the iX grille?

    These designs go through many hoops and focus groups before approval/production. I have never talked to one person that liked this grill . Everyone hates it How on earth did this get the green light?

    How big is the iX grille?

    I saw it in person a few times. I like it better than the I4. Interior is incredible
