That thing would never climb a hill if you had AC and it was on

On the topic of electric cars C&D did a feature on the $360K Caddy Celestiq.

How come all the electric cars I like are all 150k plus+++?

I love the design of the new Hummer PU but its 150K up here

For that kind of money all the Top Vettes come into play the Z06 the ERay and rhe ZR1 + ZR1 X

Well, the Hummer can go 0-60 in 3 seconds so it's basically a Vette

I’d love to see someone try a GMC Hummer on the Nurburgring

That would be hysterical

It might turn into a car crushing monster truck event with all those tourist driven econo boxes lapping the joint

It might be the Camaro again

Looks like the dammed thing is going to have tank turret green house again

Less aero drag on the super speedways

Looks like the EV thread is dying like sales

There is just nothing to be excited about in the EV market right now. Using Dodge as an example the Charger with the Hurricane engine in it is far more appealing than the EV version. Even if I lived where I can reliably charge one at home there just isn't anything out there that I would want.

Yah the Charger is about the only EV that is relatively affordable and interesting. The Audi E-Tron is a good looking EV car but it's in another price bracket and has too many doors.

When I was in Rochester Michigan this past weekend I saw two Chargers (two door) and have to say they look pretty good. Rolled my window down as one passed by and the amplification of the electric motors didn't sound horrible (as James has said). Production of the inline 6 Chargers has just started so I'm looking forward to hearing that. Hopefully they introduce a manual option.

Another blow to EV?
