Americans want to get into a car that has a solid thunk when the door is closed

We want a car that we can actually feel when the engine is running

We want a car that moves very quickly when the gas pedal is pushed (we don't use the word accelerator)

AND WE WANT OUR WING BACK !!!

We really, really like muscle and if the EV makers had ANY sense, they'd use electronic sound to imitate a real engine, subtile vibrators, synched to the momentum and a wing window

I quit smoking, but too late .. I have emphasema anyway, and if I had a wing window, I might be tempted to start again and go home a little sooner.

There’s no reason an elective vehicle door can’t close solidly.

Some electric vehicles have tremendous acceleration.

But, the only time I drove a rental Prius I did find the silence and lack of vibration unnerving.

“...subtile vibrators...”
