Sad, End of an Era....

I can imagine people sounding just like this arguing horses and buggies were better than the first cars lol
Thankfully I'm young enough to accept change and after my 15 Infiniti Q50 bites the dust I'll happily buy an EV for the torque rush

I'm so sick of constantly hearing that every car will be electric in 5-10 years. BS...

We'll be completely switched to the metric system by 1990.

Realistically specialty car makers have not come up with anything new or significantly different for at least 50-75 years . Just tweaks.

The electric car business is a huge bet as the car makers technical knowledge of driveline is thrown completely away.

Hopefully Lotus picks a great supplier because they cannot afford to innovate the driveline. They can make an amazing looking and handling vehicle if they sort the weight/battery.

You will own an electric car and be happy.

That's what you will own nothing & be happy means, now I get it

it's like Volvo going electric. another maker of unique vehicles I do not want, threatening to build more new vehicles I still do not want.
same as it ever was.
