TG, GD, what I said about seeing one take off from the lights, see paragraph 8. LOL


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

I was under impression it costs around 120k  ???
Anyway, if I take a mortgage on this I expect a diesel generator truck to follow me 24/7 as well as a free battery replacement for as long as I own it or is it really much to ask for a 180 grand?

Here's the article from WIRED that was mentioned.  It's a great read (as is WIRED in general).
