Good for him though TBH not into the dietary analogy ("it's metaphorically meatless and therefore better for you").

Great for him that BMW flew him out to Portugal to test drive their cars. That's fantastic.

Am I missing the actual review?  All I see is vegan talk?  Did I miss something under all of Jalopniks add that covered 1/2 of my phone screen?

You know vegans can't talk about anything else in the world without bringing up veganism.

But yes there is an actual review down there. :lol:

I thought that the analogy was pretty good, the i5 is almost as good as a real car/BMW.

I like my Kia EV6 fake interior sound. To me it makes the car feel like something out of a sci fi movie set in the future like Blade Runner 2049. The lack of NVH, instant torque, and sci fi sound makes me never want to go back to ICE for daily driving.

I'm having a vision of ICE vehicles in about 1906, being supplied with wind-up phonographs that played sounds of horses, clip-clopping, whinnying & farting.
