Leather seats and nifty badges be damned.

it just looks like a faceted, bloated yaris. I would otherwise find it nice...

Didn't Astin Martin try this with the little iQ, fancy brand on boring car? How'd that work for them

Doesn't it have like double the output though?

The base Volt is pretty nice. I know the interior of the ELR is very nice but no, not for $30k extra.

the cygnet (cignet?) was bastardized out of necessity. Aston needed a car to raise their average mileage something something some auto group something something.

for that kind of money why not just buy a Tesla S?

Could have seen that one coming a mile away.

Oh wait. We all did.

No, just a little more. I believe it also weighs more though too...its barely any faster at all.

nope. It does like 10 secs to 60.

The thing is? If I had the money, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Such a cool looking car

Same thing here maybe? Cadillac doesn't strike me as an ecofriendly brand, what with their 550hp wagons

Yeah, I heard from TGUK that they needed some sort of economy friendly car or something since they aren't controlled by a massive auto group or something along those lines which I'm not sure of.

doubt it. It looks like just like the idea of taking a relatively inexpensive base, adding $3k worth of body/interior improvements, an electric engine but charge an extra $30k on top of that.

Look at the xlr. It was a Cadillac corvette but cost $100k... For what?

$3k? Nah. The upgrades on the interior alone are worth more than that. I mean that interior is seriously nice. Apparently the way it drives is pretty different too. Still yeah 30k is a bit...much.

It is a very good looking coupe... but it isn't a performance car. It isn't a better luxury car for the $$$.

And it isn't a better Volt, for a higher price... not that customers are paying the full cost of the Volt... and probably not the ELR, either.

If they had just made the ATS coupe look this sleek and cool...

Range anxiety. My argument is if you have the money to buy a fucking Tesla, you can afford to rent a car for an out of state trip....
