Knowing that the Prius had an image problem, Toyota did a great job redesigning it. Between it reliability, mpg, and good styling, I wouldn’t mind have one as a daily.That’s how most people feel.. “wait i kinda like a prius”

No Benz, Audi, Land Rover, Cadillac at the NY Auto Show? 
Might as well throw BMW and Porsche on there also, they had 6 cars between em and was in a little throwaway part of the area, barely can call it their own section.
Hyundai/Kia, Jeep, Ford and Subaru put the most effort, Hyundai being top dawg. The Ioniq 6 is so quirky in person, love it.
The GV70 EV or whatever sick af too.
Telluride EV (I know its not a Telly but might as well be) is pretty sick.
They had a Midnight Purple V Spec 2 R34
EV Chally looks really good
And my fav

Not bad looking for a 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo with a hybrid electric motor.
I think they look awesome.

Yea the Philly show has changed a lot in the last 5-10 years. Not as worthwhile as it used to be, I enjoyed seeing the German brands. Fell in love with a grey RS5 a few years ago
They had a big loop setup and you could go in a variety of EVs and they would drive you around the loop accelerating which was cool to see.

Philly show used to be great but about 4-5 years ago, brands started leaving. No MB, BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, LR..yeah, lots of exotic dealers (Kerbeck & RDS) but they had to figure out what to do with all the excess room from the lack of brands. The EV test track and the Jeep & Ram off road track was pretty cool.
We go with our car group to do something during the winter when the Cars & Coffees are not as attended (they go year round but when it's like 20° out, yeah no! Plus one of our friends took us to an AMAZING Malaysian restaurant right around the block from the Convention Center. Awesome day this year.

They too good for the show now.
Was disappointed though they werent there. There was 2 seperate EV tracks, one for Ford (?) I think it was Ford..but the other was for Hyundai. I dont know if other places do it but every year Jeep has like an outdoor obstacle course where a driver takes you up a steep “hill” and other obstacles that test the Jeeps suspension. I only have videos but ill post caps.
Next part is like a highly uneven surface mimicing boulders. Next is like a slope on side and the cars gonna be leaning hard. Dont know what the last is.

Not anymore that’s why they are so popular now. When it debuted it sold slowly and for most of its life. Then BMW started doing crazy deals on them. I’m taking 900 a month for a lease on a 140k car. It was crazy.
Owners got pissed tho as it was supposed to be a limited production car but they ended up selling 20,000 plus worldwide. A huge number.
It’s quite the car, I have always been a fan. Charlie Browns like to say a laptop EV is technology but THIS is technology. An I-3 matched with battery power. Carbon construction. Only 3300 lbs.
Unfortunately getting in and out takes an act of God, it’s not that quick and not that efficient either. But mahn what a cool car. I still want one. Unfortunately BMW gives us an awful XM instead of a second gen i8.

One last i8 note, i really enjoyed producing this at my time at Vossen. We rented out the Port lol… at the time everyone knew one of the owners had an i8 on wheels but I had another bud with one no one knew about. So that early transition was something else.
Footnote- at the end spinning out the cars was a hassle because of the relatively lower power and the battery’s were depleted. Took a lot of work to get them sliding lol.

I would think 6262…. 6266 seems slightly large assuming it’s a K24 bottom end K20 top or even a B18c motor.

Digital dash? No no no no. There's a reason you won't see one in a Pagani, Bugatti, etc. The quickest things to age themselves out are always tech/screens. Just a way for the manufacturers to save money. All pertinent info fits just fine on the analog/digital dashs. You also have a 12 inch iPad a foot from your face in most modern cars... what exactly would an all digital dash make more
convenient/enjoyable/practical?
Was a cool way to showcase fancy tech a decade+ ago now its just a cost saving measure.

Sorry to break the news but doing a build on any chassis the right way is expensive and extensive. what happened to the gti and weren’t you doing a LT build?Man doing a Honda build the right way can be extremely expensive but worth it
