Anyone notice the 'not so subtly' coded feature names for the Banshee like: And FRAT Zone electronic exhaust? ? This is about as subtle marketing to their target market as the WTF (Watts to FREEDOM) mode in the Hummer EV

You do realizing we're all just pointing out the myopia of your original statement.

What exactly do you mean by 'cuts the mustard'?

Speaking as a fan of modern Hyundai Kia products: Is this EV6 GT going out out drive and our handle a Taycan in any trim in the corners and fun driving roads? Absolutely not. Is this EV6 have the capability to annoy and maybe even embarrass some caught off guard Taycan owners in a red light...

My overall take between Taycan vs the Lucid. If you want a Porsche and an EV that drives like a sports car, go for the Taycan, it's still the best drivers EV on the market. However the Lucid is a more comfortable, luxurious vehicle and even in these early models with their glitch early...

Depends on what exactly you mean by ride quality (performance vs comfort?). I'm guessing you mean performance, well on this test drive I was obviously not taking it on the track or doing proper canyon carving in the mountains with multiple but it seemed like a pretty solid and well tuned...

Interesting this topic came up again, I had the opportunity to arrange a test drive of the Lucid Air Gran Turismo trim thanks to a friend who already has ordered a car, went to the Lucid showroom in Beverly Hills where I was greeted by the sales associate who gave me a quick tour of their...

My mistake it's not the Revero GT which is an existing hybrid model like the BMW i8 but the upcoming GSe-6 full BEV: https://www.karmaautomotive.com/karmab2c/en/reserve

Was out for dinner yesterday and spotted this Karma Revero EV pre production test mule in the same parking lot. Weirdly this was the SECOND Revero I spotted the same day, the other one was a different color and passed me on the street. This pre pro car looked old and kind of beat up close...

We own a Tesla Model Y and I can say this: Tesla makes very convenient and comfortable 4 wheeled appliances that are designed for people who want to do as little work as possible when driving. Which describes the majority of car owners who don't care about cars, the fun of real driving and...

Huh, I think I just spotted the pre production 992 GT3RS tooling around in Costa Mesa ? Caught this morning while I was out running errands in the area.

Anything is possible, all depends on motivations of VAG company execs and internal politics. But remember, Porsche was the company that wouldn't support Android Auto for the LONGEST TIME due to their mistrust of Google data mining from their cars ?

Agreed, much easier to redesign the whole hardware/software integration thing from a clean sheet of paper and without the baggage of having decades of doing it 'the traditional way'. Of course companies like Tesla, Rivian and Lucid have their own software issues as well, basically releasing...

One of the many models that appear to be delayed as a result is the upcoming Macan EV. https://www.carscoops.com/2022/07/porsche-delaying-launch-of-electric-macan-by-one-year-new-ev-coming-in-2024/

My supervillain sounding take: 1. Population reduction especially in overcrowded developing nations 2. Drastic reduction of resource consumption (both corporate and population consumption)

Well both, the US has plenty of wide open roads and rich a-holes to feed this market as well (think LA, Miami, Houston, Scottsdale, etc)

Something tells me North America is more the target market for a new full size luxury vehicle.

It doesn't change the fact that you felt you needed to be heard in a online discussion on a car you give zero craps about, and felt the need to shit on the opinions of those who expressed genuine interest to talk about a potential performance Ioniq 6. Or perhaps you just felt angry and...

In the end that statement just means you're more focused on brand than on the car, sorry to say.

I fully agree with you, I'm a multiple Porsche Owner but I'm also a multiple Hyundai/Kia owner at the same time because their current product offerings are legit that good for the money.
