Today's QOTD comes from Grandma, who is on vacation in Florida. Grandma writes:
i have a a chevy sonic rental. i parked it, it is so small it was a breeze lots of 2014 mercedes sitting in dealer lots here. saw 2 bmw electric cars. the back lights look like the kia soul. it looks cute, but none of the beemer [sic] sophistication. don't know why they have to make electric cars look so quirky.
Upon further questioning, it appears Grandma was asking about the BMW i3. Sixt is now renting out the i3 in the South Florida area, complete with burnt orange paint and giant Sixt logos. I didn't really have a good answer for her, other than "people want to be seen driving an electric car". In her mind, a Bimmer is still something you buy to show that you've "arrived" – but it's not as good as a "Jag-you-are".
