They observed worse MPGe than their Bolt test? Interesting. Range is only marginally better than the Bolt too.

I’ll stick with my Camry Hybrid, thank you.

It’s ever so slightly quicker than an A4 2.0T quattro, I guess technically making it quickest in class? https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2018-audi-a4-in-depth-model-review-2018-audi-a4-performance-and-driving-impressions-review-car-and-driver-page-4

Prices are more in line with S4/340i at the moment, however.

Overall, I’m still a believer. We’ll be all-electric before you know it.

Saw my first Bolt recently. Not bad. Like new Lexus they’re better in person than in pictures

Its numbers are on par with my 25 year old Camaro

But it doesn’t sound nearly as good

It doesn’t sound at all
