I had an M3P for 2 years. It's one of the few of my former cars I'm not the least bit nostalgic for. Nothing about owning it excited me once I got past the initial novelty of owning an EV (which was still somewhat novel in 2019) and its quickness. There was pretty much nothing else on the...

To me the only play is novelty, in that it may be more unique. If it handled/steered better than the Taycan (which seems unlikely), I might be interested, but at a similar price point, I have no interest in subpar (Audi A7) looks and more likely dodgy build quality.

I suspect affection for sonorous engines is sort of like beer. Will a generation brought up on white claw and other hard seltzers have the same affection for an ice cold lager on a hot summer day, the way I do when I drink one and am instantly transported to my good old fraternity days in...

Should have gotten a Taycan ;)

To me steering is the most important aspect of a car's "soul." In other words, how connected do I feel when my inputs become output in the car's behavior and to what degree can I infer what's happening at the wheels based on what I feel in my hands. That's where the Taycan shines for me, even...

Good news is we have electric 718s on the way, so we'll soon have a better sense of what they can and can't do re lightness and balance re electric sports cars.

Welcome to the club. When I've seen the Audis in the wild I've found them to be pretty understated - in the sense that they blend in very well and don't attract much attention. That's especially true in the more muted colors, like your gray. For some that's ideal, but for the price point...

I'd like to own an ICE car just for fun, and if I had the garage space available, I'd probably pick up a manual 997 or the like just to hold on to for weekends. But I'll confess - every time I see an ad with a picture of an open engine bay with all of that oil and the multitude of moving parts...

A very useful article - and all of it also without mentioning the geopolitical consequences of oil and where it comes from, including many, many unfortunate wars fought to secure oil price stability. I’m not ignorant enough to say battery supplies and lithium/cobalt supplies won’t have their own...

Another dumb EV article. "I don’t know anyone driving a 10-year-old EV. Do you?” Do you have any idea how many EVs were on the road in 2012? Tesla sold 2500 Model S's that year, out of 14.5 million total vehicles sold in the US in that year. No wonder you don't know anyone driving a 2012 EV...

There's a guy here in Austin named Eddie with a lava orange 991 GT3 RS and the front lip is just beat to hell with rock chips. Like awful. Half of it is white. And everyone that comes around during a cars and coffee compliments him because they know it's the rare one that's been driven like it...

I saw one of these in person during Formula 1 week here in Austin, and the styling was a bit disappointing. It has a sort of Star Wars Tie-fighter vibe in its styling, including LCD-type lights on the side and unusual cockpit instrumentation. Doors were cool though.

People can be more than one thing. I admire his ambition and work ethic. I don’t know if he’s a genius, or whether it matters if he is, but he’s the driving force behind two of the most exciting and innovative companies in the world, and as a result (for the time being) he’s the richest man in...

It’s a leap of faith that any pure EV manufacturer (other than Tesla) will be around through the warranty period. Scale in auto manufacturing is hard.

8 years is more my timeframe for when I'd be buying a new family hauler. I agree we probably get a GLS sized electric SUV before then.

Thank you! I had a feeling it was more GLE-sized than GLS. We're a proper GLS-sized Texan family, but I'm hopeful in the next 8-10 years we can get an EQS GLS-sized vehicle with range enough to get to Houston and back on a single charge (i.e., a little over 525km).

I am curious as to the rear seat space/third row. Is it more like a GLE or a GLS in terms of third row ease/access and space for adults?

For someone with an electric vehicle @Tooney you sure do post a lot of “news” sources critical of electric vehicles. Almost like there might be an algorithm feeding them to you….

You’re not alone. I really wanted a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, but Nancy Pelosi forced me to buy a Taycan so she could bail out Porsche someday.

The government, clearly.
