I appreciate the Porsche for its engineering and capabilities...but it's just not a very attractive car. Also, for OP, it wouldn't work as the only Panameras worth buying cost upwards of $90,000.

I recommend chargers, challengers, 300's, grand Cherokees,


I get that you have your brand - and I dig that you stand behind them.

However, for me, on the other side of the counter? There are some brands that get a positive bias and other that get a negative one - Chrysler Corp and all of it's sub marques are on my "no consideration" list. They're cheaper than the competition because the market says so.

Some cat further up said, "Lexus" and "Sporty" don't belong together just hasn't driven them. Toyota's take on BMW - what could be better (although, no question, BMWs are more fun to drive - Lexus crushes them in comfort and longevity).

Their only real "sporty" offering, the RC-F, has gotten terrible reviews almost unanimously.

They have their "F" series, which I guess is supposed to be akin to BMW's M and Mercedes' AMG, but they simply don't compete - I don't think Lexus offers any high performance motor in any F car. They also aren't known for handling prowess. The Lexus is good because it'll last forever and looks okay...for that money I'd take a BMW, Merc, Audi, or Porsche no questions asked. All of the Japanese cars seem so souless and are too similar in appearance to their econo-box parent company's offerings...no thank you.

There's a charging station in Alabama.



If it is a 5 minute stop in Alabama, I can probably handle that.

These charges are the same timing as a regular gasoline fill, right?

If someone showed up in a Hellcat I would assume they are oil field trash or the regional derivative.

That isn't meant as an insult, even though I am sure it comes off that way.

Just saying it is brutish and crass.

More like a 15 min stop, but free, and high amp chargers so 20 min will give you a full charge.

For real; I can't believe Hellcat proponents have the audacity to call others out for flashiness/douchiness.

So I have a charge before I leave, one on the way there, at least one in Destin, one on the way home.

I am just saying, if I know what one is, I know who is likely buying it.

The performance numbers are amazing. They are shocking, honestly. However, it is the same Dodge that my niece is driving to high school, I just have to explain it.


Maybe that fits with the "non flashy" in the OP request.

Full charge at home.
Small, quick charge in Alabama.
Charge in Destin.
Small, quick charge in Alabama, or in Miss when Gulfport gets one soon.

That's about it.
BTW, friend has one and makes it to Orange Beach on one charge. Depending on how you drive it, it could maybe get to Destin without the stop.

They are aesthetically subdued considering they have 707 hp. I have trouble deciphering between the Hellcat and the SRT8 on the road.
