I do a bit - that post was intended as part of this discussion of CR's i-MiEV review, not to start a new thread to chat about the electric Fiat, a car about which few readers here would care (and for good reason - like the Fit EV, it's a compliance-only custom job barely more credible than the RAV4-EV, and most Americans will never be able to buy one). Since just about every sentence of that post referenced CR's i-MiEV review, I figured it was pretty well on-topic, so banishing it seems a tad heavy-handed given the drift that I see (and accept) in many of these discussions.The point, for those that are now not seeing it because they aren't clicking on a topic they don't care about, was that CR treated Fiat's cynical CA-compliance dodge with more respect than they gave Mitsubishi's effort to make a practical EV available to all comers nationwide. The point was that CR felt it was okay to publish some petulant, ignorant, childish whining about a mini-car being small, an EV not going very far after charging for a long time, and the least expensive EV in America coming up a bit short in the luxury amenities department. The point was NOT to dignify some semi-fake EV that Fiat's pretending to sell with its very own thread.
