^ I think electric cars will soon be making all the gas guzzlers look like the slow pokes. The tech will open up to cars that more aggresive drivers gravitate towards and not just the mild-mannered Prius or Leaf commuter.
When Tesla has a full line up in a price spectrum that can be cross-shopped with the commonly found A4's, 3 series, C class, Acura, Lexus IS and similar, we're going to see a big change in the mindset of car buyers. Tesla have the lowest price ber kilowat-hour firmly in the bag with demand in many more categories than high end touring.

As much as i love NA cars, i prefer electric to turbo anyday, i wish we could just go back in time to really light low hp cars that are still fun as can be. People just care too much about the numbers these days, forcing companies to turbo charge to keep HP going up, why not downsize, loose some HP, loose some weight, and get better gas mileage all at once. End result is a better car.
