Sooo... with only 7000 of these stupid cars sold, I guess we can conclude that not only blacks hate these cars, whites, hispanics, asians, and Aleutian islanders do too.

The Greenlining Institute? I never leave the house without finding out their latest insights. The Redlining Institute says more RPM's are great fun all the way up to the red-line. Take that electric motor?! heads.

This is small thinking engineered by environmentalist propaganda. Our current line of automobiles do not harm the environment. We eliminated lead additives years ago and we now use the catalytic converters. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It is a natural compound.
By telling industry that future car must be electric or an internal combustion that will get 57 miles per gallon of fuel cripples our ingenuity. Developing any other possibilities is thought crime.
I will never buy an auto with a $25,000 battery or a sardine can powered by a model airplane engine.

“Setting up for free green cars to buy inner city votes.”
Those green cars better have changing shades of neon green as well as huge wheels and maximum chrome and be equipped with gigantic speakers. THEN they might be accepted as taxi cabs in minority neighborhoods, but no self respecting stud would take one as his personal ride!

I’ve always liked the ‘black guy’ taste in those old 70s sedans, Cadillacs, Lincoln town cars, etc...I totally agree with you.

I’ll second that. I have that same taste without the skin color. Gimme a ‘76 Caddy convertible and get out of my way.

Last car I bought, I deliberately went looking for a gas-eater. I got a five year old Town & Country for about $12k.
It gets a little over 17 mpg. The current model's base price without any options is a little over $25,000 and it gets 25mpg highway.
Using rounded numbers, I have a $12,000 surplus to use on gas. Let's say I only get 15mpg and the new T&C gets 30. At $4.00/ gallon, that's about $1300 extra I spend on gas per 10,000 miles each year, which means I can drive for a little over 9 years before I hit the $24,000 figure of the new gas miser.
I guess in 2020 I'll pick up a 2015 model & do it all over again.

I’m sure (but don’t have the statistics, just my humble opinion) that minorities like Jews or Chinese or indians or koreans or japanese - americans have a higher % of electric/hybrid car ownership..
