However, the tradeoff with an electric is that you are getting 94MPG. Yowza!

    $135K base.

    I'm not a fan of the elongated snout, but other than that I like it.

    I have my eye on the new Audi SQ5.

      looks like something out of tron. i wonder who will buy it with those performance numbers at $136k.

      the new corvette kind of has an lfa feel going on. i think i like it:

          Paying 997 turbo price for something with the performance specs of a 370z is not the right answer.

            Oh I agree. The specs are a function of it being an electric, no doubt. The HP is disappointing, that is for sure. That car is all about the show. You aren't buying it to drive quickly past people, you are driving it to go slowly by, give it to the valet, etc.

            The corvette has to be fast so that nobody will see you in it.

              Is the Infiniti QX80 really good looking or really ugly? I can't decide.

                Looks like a marshmallow with fake vents stuck on the side.

                            Then it's really good looking. Pull the trigger, HFN!
