Start designing.... I’ll be back in a few....
Update 1: Oh gawd, what boring colors: space, snow, midnight, osmium, osmium matte, magnesium. Pretty much black, white, and several shades of gray. Where’s the rest of the rainbow?
Update 2: For rims you have 3 choices - Black, matte, or diamond cut (black with chrome). Then you get to choose between black and chrome trim. Then the interior is charcoal with a choice of zinc or charcoal seats. Yet the seat belts are yellow. I don’t get it. It feels like Henry Ford all over again. You can get any color you want... as long as it’s black.
Update 3: $2500 gets you in the queue, I had forgotten there’s a gas engine in there (somehow I had it in my mind it was all electric). But the lack of any colors means I’ll have to plastidip or paint it to get what I want. But with no indication of final price, I’m not hitting submit. The look of the car is bland. If I’m going to spend a big wad of cash on a car, it might as well look good. If it was $40k, then I’d tolerate the simpler and less muscle car than a mustang look. But I’m guessing this is 6 figures, and at that price, I’d rather drive an i8 or NSX
Update 4: 600 hp, 1000 nm of torque, 150km (93 miles) of range, not too bad, better than my volt. But I’m still not jumping for joy here. In this day and age where everyone wants a CUV, I smell a huge whiff here like the ELR, without the great looks. Instead of a drop dead gorgeous supermodel in a slinky red dress, you get Mary Ann in gray sweatpants and a gray sweatshirt.
