Euro only VW Scirocco. I'm not a fan of the Shooting Brake style rear and I think it looks like a Golf with a chopped roof.

kind of a stretchy 1995 Honda Civic. I bet it's fun to drive though.

A Tesla Model S, of course - strangest thing is that I see them literally every day here. Must be more money floating around than I had imagined.

Elon Musk was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Interesting career he has had, though I still expect someday Tesla will become the next Tucker.

I can't see how the company is making any money--must be a high burn rate on capital.

Yep, that's the newest one in the Edmunds' long term test fleet.
Not that I'm in the market for a $60k EV, but if I was, I'd try not to hold PayPal against the company (yeah, I know eBay purchased them - I'm pretty leery of them too.
).
And loaded up with those jump seats ($1,500) and all the other options that were loaded onto it, the prices came out to $105,005. Plus TTL.

Tell me again why people want to beat the crap out of a $105K car by performing useless stunts....just go buy a Mustang.

Maybe in the good ideas but failed dreams part - but I don't know if the cars will be zillion dollar collectibles in 60 years. I agree though. The future for the brand is anything but certain.
