The cars and bikes thread!

Besides cost which these are very costly vehicles, I think there are other things to consider to make your decision. What are your needed drive ranges and what are the availability of fast charging options in those areas. For me the going to the airport, Orlando or my brothers means unless you have over 400 miles range your going to need to add 4 hours to your round trip time. That would make me not go most of the time which I don't want my car to dictate how I live. I have good structure at. my house to support a high level charger,but given my needs a plug in hybrid meets my requirements better. Issue is for example the LX NX is not ideal, but it is the best plug in for luxury and range. The issue is even with a tax credit its is hard to justify the $14,000 up charge for this over the gas version or $11,000 over the standard hybrid. There is also that Lexus only brings about one fifty of these into Florida so even large dealer only get one.

I’d want to be earning £10k a month to be spending £750 a month on a car. So if you are, go for it.

You are exactly bang on the money! I pay £550pcm at the moment so I'm used to that, and inclusive insurance, servicing etc is attractive, cheaper leccy too.

I got a bloody rear diff error on the way home from the porsche garage amusingly. Too many problems. Need out of this M4.

The taycan 4s was great. I need to spec it up and see what it costs though because it can get very expensive with options

I haven't driven more than 200 miles in ages. And you can do 10%-80% in like 22 minutes I think.

Plus, it spends 90% of its time in my drive. Where it would be charged.

Don't feel bad, you can't even get on the list here for about three years. We have a friend that somehow has one in production right now. It's replacing his full track Shelby GT350. The other friend that was thinking of passing on his decided to keep it. No product date for that one yet. Even the standard Vette is an 8 month wait.

Thats probably a good thing then tbf.

Chevrolet doesn't always do everything right but they rarely miss with the Corvette. I miss my '64 Stingray.

Just test drove the e tron gt rs and now I feel sick. That thing is RAPID. I prefer it to the porsche, more car like and less electric shaver like. Rear steering makes it feel weirdly nimble.
