I am sure. I was going to buy the new Corvette C8, but drove this and it was awesome, quicker and much easier to get into and out of. I bought a 2017 with only 15k miles on it in Aug. My wife drives a pickup so still have that option for hunting.

Air is even worse than extension cords. 
Nice projection, and no facts. So must be blind faith for the eco religion âŚ

With replaceable batteries, which you will have to replace at some points.
I dunno, I borrowed a Mercedes diesel that couldnât even go up a slight hill at 55 mph in fourth gear. It was terrible.
The old Benz diesels were definitely slow as molasses but at least they were usually reliable.
The LF9 5.7 cars were not only slow as turds, but if you tried to extract any of the glorious 85 horses out of them theyâd quickly remind you why you shouldnât do that. Something terrible would break. Usually valve train related.
Reliable yes, good point.
85 whole horses eh? 
Yowza!
Iâm a firm believer in all engines being turbocharged⌠except for one big mistake Chrysler made in the 1980s.
The K-Car 2.2L engines. Someone at Chrysler thoughtâŚ
âI have a great idea, letâs stick a non intercooled turbo on an engine that is already known by our dealer techs as the âRod Knocker.â
âThatâs brilliant Edward!! Approved!!!â
Many many a K car got saddled with that somewhat powerful yet horrendously unreliable power train.
Man they are slow. One of my grandparentsâs renters back in the day had a Cadillac with the LF-9 somehow still in it (the engine was so bad that it wasnât uncommon for dealers to swap the LF-9 for a Rocket 350) and in one piece.
It made a 7.3L PowerStroke seem quiet. I could hear him head off to work every morning. And if I was outside i could see a huge cloud of black soot coat his entire yard as he struggled to make 5000 pounds of Cadillac climb up the driveway.
Did they put that 7.3 in F-250 trucks? My brother worked his to death (and I mean WORKED, abused even) for years and years and that dang engine just wouldnât quit, and it had as much acceleration as a typical sedan. Not quiet though LOL!
7.3s are some of the best light duty Diesel engines ever made.
Iâd say the ISB 5.9 Cummins is first. Followed by the PowerStroke 7.3L.
Both of them are indestructible for the most part. Normally the truck itself will fall apart before an ISB or 7.3 blows up.
Theyâre kind of like those old Japanese vehicles from the 70s. The engines and transmissions were underpowered but they never broke down. But the cars and trucks they were put in would rust away around them.
Yeah thatâs what happened. When a rear shock came up through the bed of the truck it was time for a new one, but the engine was still going strong.
