A lot of folks saying it’s overpriced, but I don’t know - if it drives well, seems like it could be the modern take on the Jaguar I-PACE, and that thing is phenomenal! We have a Jaguar I-PACE EV as our daily driver. This replaced our 970 Panamera Turbo (both of which we bought used btw), a car that most ICE fans would probably agree is a pretty good daily driver in its own right. And I can honestly say the Jag is better in every single way. I don’t miss the Panamera one bit, neither does the wife. With the Jag, there’s no automatic transmission to get confused around town, never getting into a hot or cold car with preconditioning, there’s insane instant torque, the smoothness and refinement is unmatched (not only because no engine noise but also because the 1000 pound battery insulates you from road noise), the use of space is excellent (small on the outside and big on the inside because no engine), low center of gravity, naturally perfect weight distribution, being able to blow by anyone in traffic anytime, never being in the wrong gear, way more efficient, never being late because I had to stop for gas, no maintenance, quicker than most v8 family cars and more efficient than i-4 family cars, etc etc. And even though on paper the panamera was faster 0-60, in real life around town it’s not even close - the Jag would be gone before the panamera would even get into the right gear. Yes, it can be annoying on road trips - but it's not the end of the world unless you road trip all the time. It's the better car 364 days of the year, and the worse car 1 day of the year. Having said all of that, like I said I'm an enthusiast, and we also have two sports cars (manual transmission c7 corvette stingray and an R56 Mini Cooper JCW, both of which I frequently use for road rallys and autocross), and I have no desire for either of those to be electric. The whole point of those cars is a visceral, loud, lightweight, connected experience with a manual transmission. I know there is a Boxster EV coming soon and I’m sure it’ll be great and smoke my c7 around any racetrack, but I have no interest at all, even as a current EV owner. Sports cars should be gas powered and manual IMO. So as I said, each has their purpose. I don’t see myself ever going back to gas for daily driver, and I don’t see myself ever going EV for sports cars. My point is simple: EVs are better at some things, and gas cars are better at some things. "Taking a side" doesn't make sense, even for enthusiasts. Just acknowledge what the other is better at. EVs dont work for everyone (you need a place to charge and can't road trip all the time etc etc), but if it works in your lifestyle - try it before you knock it is all I'm saying. You might be surprised. And like I said - just because a car is EV doesn't make it good. There are good EVs and bad ones, just like gas cars. For example, I' not a huge Tesla fan. But, the well-executed EVs are, in my opinion, the best daily drivers, if they fit into your lifestyle. ...and this is coming from someone that's 37 years old and currently on his 8th manual transmission sports car (Vette, Mini JCW, 350Z, etc etc). And to be clear - these are my favorite cars, not the I-PACE. But, I have a wife and a kid, and we need something that isn't manual and has a back seat. And in that category, the Jag is by far and away the best we've had.

Lease prices for the ZDX, Lexus RZ, electrified GV70 and Lyriq vary much more than their MSRPs would suggest. The Lyriq lease prices are very high; the ZDX much less. The RZ is even less with $18,500 discounts on some models. And Genesis is advertizing $499 per month on a base electrified GV70, but no dealer I can find supports this price (they all show $0000 in the lease window, suggeasting you have to ask a salesman. Makes me worry that Genesis dealers are just Hyundai dealers. You can get massage seats on the Lyriq and GV70, not the RZ or ZDX. More important, SuperCruise is just on the high end Cadillacs and Type S ZDX, but makes the biggest difference for medium to long trips. Hard to pick a best value, a lot depends on how you use the car.

I live in West Texas where its over 350 miles to any where and most of the time close to 700 to larger cities.

My Dad worked for GM for 43 years so I've owned a lot of GM products with the family discount. Aside from the '96 Firebird that I sold immediately after the warranty expired, I've never had a major repair on any of the GM vehicles I've owned. Cavalier Firebird 2 S-10s 2 Impalas Silverado 1500 All but the Firebird were taken to around 100,000 mi with nothing but oil, filters, brakes and tires. Now I'm working from home so I barely put any miles on my vehicles. Still have a 2012 Impala with 80k miles that I will likely own for another 20 years. I did buy my wife a Kia Sorento that we've had good luck with too. My best friend only buys Toyotas and he's lost a couple to mechanical issues. I think part of the real liability issues come from some American brands being slightly cheaper than Toyota and Honda in the same class. People that buy the cheapest model also frequently cut corners on maintenance. No shade towards any brand really. It's mostly just personal choice these days. I'm a little leery about buying anything with turbos with the extra heat and pressures but we'll see how this new trend plays out.

I'm not in the market for an EV at this time, but this Acura would be at the top of my list due to its attractive appearance, well-designed interior, and Honda's reputation for reliability.

Honda's reputation for reliability doesn't apply to this vehicle, which is a GM platform

YES, the chrome down slope definitely gives hearse vibes! But hearses are not bad looking. I like the styling of the ZDX much more than the Lyric. All-in-all, I think this is a winner, minus the pricing. I just wish the future Honda/Acura EV continues the models even if their relationship with GM is souring.
