Lyric-V, Blazer SS, R3X, Scout, or the Kia/Hyundai performance model for me. I really doubt we’ll stay with Ford Unless they step it up more. But we’ll see.
If the Lyric-V had CarPlay and a useful frunk, or they Hyundai/kia twins had a useful frunk and larger displays, I’d be open to considering them.

‘25 Mach E GT
I like Hyundai spaceship interiors (a relative has one) but for me I much prefer the Mach E GT driving experience. That being said the Ioniq was not an N

Even so I prefer the always on 1 pedal (EDIT: turn on stays on; turn off stays off) of the Mach E. I think the Ford steering wheel button layout is more suited to our brain hemispheres as well

GV60 looks like a mini Emeya except too cute; not as posh or advanced. Tromso Green is a good color. But the car is pointless to have with a Mach E GT

While Hyundai line cars don't have true hands free ADAS, their hands on lane centering is excellent

Audis some how look generic to me. I'd much rather have a Porsche than an Audi. I like that they've copied the sequential turn signaling from Ford though, and their interfaces can be very nice

Lyriq V is too big and heavy, and until the Optiq V is less ugly and GM truly has competitive hands on lane centering I'll pass. I might buy an XT4 if it had competitive ADAS

Finally, there is a universe where I'd buy advanced ADAS enabled and sporty versions of the Aston Martin looking Ford Fusion and the early 2020s Lincoln Corsair

Thanks you for your attention to this matter :cool:

In the Audi, I think mine might be shifting around 50. It is a rocket off the line even without boost (it has been too cold for the full 911HP to be available in boost). Better efficiency and new larger battery is definitely noticeable in terms of range.
It varies for the Taycan based on drive mode as well.

Those gen 1.2 cars are absurdly fast. Even faster when you throw a MapEV tune in them.

It’s crazy. Even the Taycan 4 can run high 9 second 1/4 mile times in the 140 mph range with a tune.

CarPlay is a big factor for us as we hate this subscription service BS auto manufacturers are pushing. Which I believe the current Cadillac models have, but won’t for the following years. Nothing like strapping our phones back to the dash for (most part) free navigation. Back to the year 2010 we go! 🤣

We will see what Ford has to offer in 27-28. I know I want ventilated seats in the performance model. If a panoramic glass roof, I want it to retract. Better charging speed and 300 miles range, or more. Preferably better cabin heating. I also would like to be able to pre heat the battery off plug so jail bars aren’t maxed out.

I like the Hyundai Ioniqs also, but I did not find their seats to be comfortable.
