      If you knew that he was referring to the purchase of a $80k Suburban in 2030 would that change your assessment?

        I think you know very well I would never engage with this possibility as a means of self preservation. Good day sir!

      So a $77-82k Suburban is good in your eyes then? How come? Why? Oh wait, you didn’t read the quote.

        Just because he compared it to a suburban doesn’t mean that the Mitsubishi mirage and used Corollas aren’t a thing.

        And sure the Chevy Bolt is 26k, but that’s still 5k more expensive than a new Corolla and has like half the range, and you can fuel the Corolla way faster.
