That's why I copied and pasted the text. Lots of sites today have paywalls.

However, I can access the gmauthority site any time of the day or night without a subscription, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there.

Automotive News is the source article, and is paywalled. GM authority just rehashed it. Given that corrections were made to the AutoNews article, it was unclear whether the GMA one actually had accurate info.

The headline hasn't changed, but the subhead now reads:


I guess we'll have to wait and see what the real number is.
Sounds like they are taking math lessons from Amirza!

Anyway, no way I’m going back to ICE for my daily driver but I will keep an ICE suv for our travel car. I will say I had my GTR out last weekend and even though my Plaid would smoke it, there was definitely a sense of enjoyment shifting gears and hearing the exhaust note.

similar here... have the lc500 for fun driving. my gf has an ice suv but she's likely going new tesla model 3 soon.

so then we wouldn't have an suv (i don't consider the ioniq 5 as one, ha)... hmm...

Nope. I have come to appreciate the Model 3, far exceeded any expectations.

No i5 but the i7 is definitely still a serious contender. Was looking at inventory today.

I saw this on Bimmerpost. Very nice. Might be a 760 though.

Yep I saw that too! I can’t remember which it was

The 760 driving it back to back with the S580, the S580 drives better. The i7 is another story though

dlsclaimer for steve, this is my opinion

that side profile to me looks very plain and not creative or luxurious. the only impression it gives me is it's big (huge).

The 7 series is HUGE. That's what makes it less compromising than the i5, which is basically a 5 series converted into an EV
