EVs didnt get better, ICE cars all just became hot, heavy, garbage.
automakers gotta figure out that the only way ICE is going to survive against EVs, is light, and cheap. because unlike EVs range is largely detached from curb weight (adding a couple gallons to the fuel tank doesnt add hundreds of pounds).
meanwhile, the ND3 ... Curb weight: 2,400lbs. GT86: 2800lbs
like it can be done. dont tell me it cant be done, it is being done.
even the new supra is "only" 3,2000lbs. only, lol. imagine a world where a car based on a small roadster is a 3000+ lbs car .... what a joke.
