Agree 100%.
The other point that no one wants to address is the source for the electricity to charge them (i.e., coal fired electric plants). I believe I have seen studies that show the carbon pollution generated to charge the EV is higher than that created from the combustion of fossil fuels for the ICE. I guess the answer here will be for all of us to have a wind turbine in our back yards.
Look at the big picture. Sales are cyclical.Wow. Just read this article today and it said Mustang sales are down 41% since the 2015 model year.
I didn't believe it since I would have guessed Mustang sales are up with this new model, especially the 2018. But sure enough I checked the Year over Year sales numbers and they were correct.
I had no idea sports car sales were falling off a cliff.
Seems like Millenials are the ones to blame according to the article.
Same is happening with the Camaro and Corvette.
Enjoy these cars while we can. Soon they will be Dinosaurs.

DETROIT (AP) — Sales of new American muscle cars are falling, raising questions in Detroit and elsewhere about whether a nostalgic, high-horsepower cruising culture that dates to before the 1950s is in peril.
Yet U.S. sales of the iconic Mustang, which leads the segment in 2018, fell 13 percent in 2016, almost 23 percent last year and 5 percent during the first half of this year.
Schuster said the risk is low, but it's still possible, that the muscle car segment could be dying. It won't happen within the next five years, but after that, he said the risk rises. "You're losing a market unless you do something with the vehicle that appeals more to a younger buyer," he said.
Since 2015 Mustang sales are down 41%.
This would explain why I was able to get the car so cheap. I wonder how much lower the pricing will get? So Camaro is only down about 13%.Wow. Just read this article today and it said Mustang sales are down 41% since the 2015 model year
I would not be surprised if in 5 years we see major changes.
Unless Al Gore can be a double digit percentage stakeholder in the steam engine company, water vapor exhaust will be declared a greenhouse gas that needs to be regulated....Oops...I think water vapor happens to be the most voluminous of the greenhouse gases already...Hydrogen fueled vehicle proponents (that also emit water vapor) would say the natural ecological cycle would keep water vapor in check...when asked why the same isn't true for CO2 in the ecological cycle involving photosynthesis, it's just crickets...doesn't fit the narrative of the day in political and media circles.You know what else has full torque available from a stop that isn't electricity? Steam!
I give you the sports car of the future!
of course the best way to produce steam these days would be nuclear fission... Don't wreck.
Sorry but you have to look at the full picture. The 6th Gen Camaro in Europe launched not at the same time as the US model. If I remember correctly EU Camaros were only build since MY2017. In 2017 there were 957 Camaros in Germany alone, more than ever before.
somebody in here likes camaros and trolls a whole lot
