Unfortunately, you can still get a Bolt.

I kind of want a Bolt, and yet don't want a Model 3 at all. But I'm weird.

(I am not going to buy a Bolt. They're far too stupid looking. But I kind of want one)

Ergo, the Miata is the answer. If my boxster went poof, an ND would be the first thing I'd test drive. 2019+ got increased hp.

Yes. It makes a very compelling case for itself and I do want one, but an ND2/tubomaro combo doesn't make nearly as much sense as a towing-capable-truck-or-suv/turbomaro combo does

I do want to drive a new Camry and see if they've gotten any better. I'm open to Toyota changing direction. Skeptical, but open.

Honest. Not defeatist or apathetic.

(Electric cars suck in 20F weather by the way)
