To your point I actually agree with you spot on. I think everything they announced is cool but for the consumer all they did was make an expensive car more expensive. Thats why I didn't mention the stock which for now is rightfully down.Originally posted by Sugarphreak
I think there is a new C63 AMG coming out that will be faster than 3.2 actually.... but as you mentioned, that isn't the point.
As far as "showcasing" EV's, I thought that was the whole point of the roadster. They have been down this road already, the've proven that EV's can be sporty.
Time to stop dicking around and get to work on making EV's mainstream instead of 100K one-off's that nobody can afford.
For 120K, the BMW i8 seems a hell of a lot more appealing than some "D" version of the already outdated "S"
I can't afford the S, let alone the D, but I do however think that the D needs to be proven to make the X as good as it can be. Look at what the Cayenne did for Porsche.
As for the Model 3, I can't wait for this car, and the market can't either. I disagree that in 3 years there will be many competitors in the EV space, because automotive companies move painfully slow, but in the bigger picture competition is a good thing for consumers.
