Me, easy? Nah....:rolleyes::p

Just bring some extreme, difficult choices, I'll show you Van. :trouble:👍

And I just realized the EV part do'h! :dunce: I was watching TV when I posted. I'll edit my post, thanks for the heads up.

Vans: Lumina, because it looks more interesting

Compact EVs: Neither, these EVs all suck as they're too expensive to buy and are too range restricted. I'll get a plug-in Vauxhall Ampera instead.

Nissan Leaf. I like them, I can sit comfortably in them.

This is how much I hate being 6 foot 2… with much more to come...
 
Electric cars: Leaf, no question.

Hot hatches: I don't really know anything about these cars, so I'll have the Vauxhall.

Just like the commercial states "The next wave of Italians have come to American, and they've came to party..." I'd rather have the Fiat 500e :sly:.

You guys overseas get some real cool cars, the wheels of that Renault look sick! 👍 I'd be happy with any one of these but if I had to choose one, it would be the Vauxhall Astra VXR.
 
GMC because it's a GMC.
Smart car because it could be a fun electric car.
VXR because it has a good mix of fun and liveable.
 
Astra VXR, though here in Australia it's badged as an Opel.

Turbo lag is abound in the OPC but I feel that's part of the character. Plus it's damn fast when you get it above 4k rpm, and it handles its power excellently for a FWD vehicle.

If it was not included I would have easily said the Megané.
 
I want to say the M class just because it's not an Audi, but the Q7 looks to be (from some very quick research) the more practical and comfortable vehicle.


Although, if I could, I'd rather get a Geo Metro or something. I hate luxury SUVs.
 
I'd choose the M-Class, mainly because I've got bored of how the Q7 looks cause that Generation's lived too long, (8 Years.)

Oh yeah, and because of that Hideous front grill!
 
If I had to, the Audi. I have a few guys I know who'll customise it, inside and out.

They don't do the ML, as they're mainly Audi specialists.
 
Merc as it's not a Q7. Extra brownie points because the GF and I both love Mercs.

Preferably neither though because I've never been into the thought of having a giant luxury SUV. Probably because I don't have kids and prefer dedicated off-road vehicles to them.
 
Fiat 500e vs. Smart ForTwo Electric Drve vs. Nissan Leaf vs. Chevrolet Spark EV vs. Honda Fit EV vs. Mitsubishi i-MiEV - The Smart is out, because it's not smart. The Spark is out because I can't get over the really stupid plastic-looking grill. I've decided to pick the 500e.

Vauxhall Astra VXR vs. Renault Megane 265 Cup vs. Volkswagen Scirocco R - The VXR, because it's the sportiest and best-looking.

Audi Q7 Diesel vs. Mercedes-Benz ML Diesel - ML, it's less rounded and doesn't scream "I'm rich" as much as the Q7.

^ Hmm, let me see...

-> The Renault could've been nice, but Lord Ghosn should've converted this into a Nissan (Pulsar GTi) and shipped worldwide since he controls both Nissan & Renault. :indiff:

-> The Scirocco is nicer, but VW NA doesn't have the balls to bring it here because it would cannibalize the GTI sales, I hate it when car companies use this type of excuse! It would be the perfect halo-car for VW NA!! :indiff:

-> The Astra could've been the perfect Saturn Astra RedLine and kick the Focus ST & Mazdaspeed 3 right between the legs! But no...GM axed Saturn instead and kept Buick instead! They could've rebadged Saturn's as Buick when it reach China for petes sake! :grumpy:

^ I'd pick the Astra because of balance between practicality and insanity, and the car that almost reached to the US the closest... :indiff:

^ Both have reputable names in Diesel. But I pick neither. This comparo isn't fair for the ML, it should be the GL because it's similar in size.

:)

True, although the GL and Q7 are the same size, the Q7 and the ML virtually cost the same. Q7 Diesel has a MRSP of $52,000 versus the ML Diesel with a MSRP of $51,270.
 
Vauxhall vs. VW vs. Renault: Ugh, tough one again huh? After reading about these cars and watching some vids on them, can't just choose one. So I'll take them all! :D

Wish that these Hatches were sold here in the States! :indiff:

Q7 vs. ML: I'll have the ML.
