Just to note: US chains are significantly better outside the US. I don't eat at chains in the US anymore, they're expensive and I'm pretty sure my shit is more nutritious. Might taste better too.

Much longer than 12, that's the average age (including new cars). This site says the average lifespan is closer to 17 years.
No designers involved, unless you think Elon is a designer. The whole Tesla design studio revolted over having to work on it. They designed something else, which of course Elon refused. I wouldn't at all be surprised if it was engineered so the other option can be swapped in when this one flops.
With the new 500 estimated to start around $35k in the US, Fiat lost "cheap". Super uncompetitive at that price though, we'll see what happens.

Right now my policy for trips is "no chains".
I've been looking at trying to put down roots around the Great Lakes for future climate and fresh water access reasons.
My dad found a rural lot near here where a bunch of dealers are parking inventory so they can still make it look like a shortage. One dealer still has $5k markups last I checked, but also still have the car I looked at ~5 months ago.
I was going to say 2 liters is a lot... But then I converted into funny units and it's pretty close to what I drink on the average day (sometimes twice that, sometimes half).
Maybe also contributing to my lack of kidney stones?
Interesting, Belgium has never really landed on my list of places to look at. Then again, Germany didn't either until I studied there for a while...
Any chance you guys have an Architect shortage? 😅
... By using android automotive and Google apps. The same thing Porsche just announced in this article.
Wish they'd bring the 001 stateside. The blue interior is sexy, and I'm sure you could buy a used one for cheap within a year or 2.
