Sounds Like Something a German Auto Company would do!

No not everyone wants self driving auto's or to share a rented auto with others. Many people are pigs and have ZERO respect for the auto they are in. I like my auto's clean, pristine and I have yet to see anyone around where I live keep their auto's clean and nice like I do. This will only work for a fraction of the population as I know I am not the only one that takes care of their auto's and then you have the other end, my boss, does not care about a car as long as it gets him out to go camping, hiking and fishing and he just spent $3K on his 17 year old subaru as he did not see a reason to get a new auto. Cheap, easy to fix and low cost for him even though he makes way more money than I do. This program will only work for certain types of people even when it drops to $350 per month as you say.

Both are Sexy MF.! Reliability I put on the Hemi over the Alfa crap.

That was a 2017 Focus RS, how is that 2 model years? I also have plenty to like of the trucks, cars and suv / cuv from the American nameplates. So I will politely agree to disagree with you on what I like.

I would never consider a Tesla owner an Idiot since they are some very wealthy people. Yet with that said, I would also not consider them to be always the smartest as auto owners. Tesla is like Apple. They both have their prestige and aspiration by a select group of folks. Just like us Cadillac owners enjoy the prestige, aspirational and rich heritage of Cadillac. Clearly to think Cadillac does not have that even a little has to make one think twice about where you are coming from. Every company get a tarnished rep, some die, some come back. it does not mean that there is no prestige or aspiration to be had. Personally, Apple to me builds crappy products that force you to live their way only and from what I have seen of the Prestige and Aspiration crowd, also some of the most common Lemmings in the universe. Tesla is the same in many regards. I will credit Tesla with at least finally finding a solid way to move us beyond the ICE Auto. Thank you Musk for that. Now let's look to see who builds the EV better. My bet is on GM.

If they do this say in regards to you pick a category: Sub compact Compact Mid Level Full size SUV Truck and they could even have a blend of some say: Full size Truck, SUV & car $750 a month. Mid size Truck, CUV & Car $500 a month. Compact size CUV & Car $250 a month. Sub Compact CUV & Car $175 a month. This could as you say drive loyalty to a brand with having them sign on for a minimum 24 months, lower rates or extra benefits if they sign on for a longer term. For sure some potential benefits to this. Especially if they include maintenance and insurance.

Interesting wheels, but talk about hell to clean.

Cool update, goot to know as the last I had read was the state was fully converted, but guess it makes sense depending on cost when they compete coal contracts and then convert.

Nope not ever gonna happen for me. I see no value in spending thousands a month to swap out auto's like sex partners. I see this solely for those that are badge snobs and want to always be driving something different or at least show up in a different auto fairly often. Love auto's but value control of my expenses.

We have seen every auto maker have some bad parts and being only 100 affected out of the first 10,000 produced is nothing to worry about. GM came out and admitted the issue and has stated they have contacted all owners and are fixing the issue. I am not so sure Tesla has done this. In regards to sou-less auto's, not a single one I own is soul-less as they all have amazing souls and cool names. Course they are all Female and sexy as hell!

Only an idiot would pay that kind of money for a Tesla 3 and I suspect the whole thing was just about getting attention.

Cool to see the mules on the road out and about, but otherwise not much else to get excited about.

Naw, I just know a superior built auto when I see one. Tesla is far from superior built.

Ford Focus RS, that is one bad ass hot from hell car! This car is just awesome, Love the color and the look even with the big mouth billy bass grill. It rocks!

What is verified can still be changed, we have seen that with the Mazda Diesel that has been promised and verified many times to be yanked at the last minute or delayed repeatedly to address issues. If FCA finds the cost too high to get a diesel certified, they could just shelve it. Many an automaker has done that.

That is such a Hideous looking auto. Deserves a triple Puke in my book!

Hell Ya, GM could so easily stretch the BOLT platform and dump the Malibu body on it and have a Superior looking EV Sedan. Being bigger, then GM could offer a 100kWh battery pack getting over 300 miles and just kicking Tesla away! Still take a BOLT over the Tesla 3 any day.

Ugly, uninspiring and will end up being overpriced as always.

Time to retire old outdated state laws. The people must rise up and overthrow the status quo of the ingrained, entrenched special interest providing lawmakers.

Ya Don't! Always said these high HP low torque engines with dual overhead cam crap are just marketing fluff for idiots that cannot understand real torque is the answer, not butt loads of HP. Will take a properly built pushrod V6 or V8 over turbo everything in today's driving of needing torque to move along.

Pretty much not anymore especially where you live as the power is all Natural Gas produced now. Seems to be an abundance of methan back in your state! Actually where he lives in Penn State, they burn ZERO coal as all their energy is produced by Natural Gas. They were one of the first states to convert their plants over once they realized the huge NG reserves they were sitting on. Nothing like Farting to produce kWh.

You will find plenty of problems with the first generation but that was back in 2014 or so, now they seem to be pretty solid. Do not see anything glaring that is showing up in ecodiesel forums or on the recall threads.

Guess this is to compete with Costco and Sam's club that has single low price purchasing with all that so people who do not want to dicker on price can just pick an auto, and buy. Be interesting to see how this goes here and if they apply this elsewhere in the world.

Even the M3 that is considered their best and most dependable and desireable car is not something I would ever want or wish on my enemy. My best friend had one and it spent more time in the shop under warranty than at his house. He finally traded it in on a AMG that also ended up in the shop more than at his house, he went to Porsche and ended up buying an Audi as he said both the Porsche and Audi were more dependable than the BMW or AMG. Sad state of their quality.
