I figure I'll hang on to this car for five years or so and then get an electric, when there are tons more options.

 :lol:

6 to 8 more weeks and I'll have my new ICE car.  :blush:
I will note my C300 does shut the engine off at stoplights and stuff.  So I consider it to be environmentally friendly. :)

The cars I am seeing are the base model.  I would have thought they would have given priority to the higher end models because presumably there is more profit margin there.  But I still wait.
I enjoyed test driving the Ioniq but the look doesn't appeal to me too much... it somehow looks '80s' to me.  Also apparently the windshield issue I wrote about earlier is pretty common, for some reason (maybe something about the design of the front of the car?) so just be careful about that, dude.

Its got two things that are most important to me.  Lots of interior space (and leg room) and good suspension.  I get the comparison with 80's design.  But I can't fit into sporty looking cars.  :D

"Woke" is now almost exclusively used by those who seek to deride it, those who chafe at the activism from which it sprang. Opponents to the idea are seeking to render it toxic. They use it to stand in for change itself, for evolution, for an accurate assessment of history and society that makes them uncomfortable and deflates their hagiographic view of American history.

Just remove the front seat and sit in the back :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Many sports cars don't have backseats.   :(

Fair point :D 

I kind of like the way the car looks, btw. Cars look so much alike that I'm car blind. can't tell makes and models apart. Not being a car guy probably makes it worse.

Look up the Subaru Solterra, Toyota BZ4X and Lexus RZ450e and play spot the difference.

Spoiler : Same base all made in the same factory.

Yep, I would agree that it is incredibly roomy and comfortable. :thumbsup:
