That's pretty amusing. The brand is still recognized...may as well use it and why not try something new?

Considering it has both the power figures of a Veyron and a size that requires those roof safety lights, I think it's safe to say the brand will still be keeping with their tradition of absolute trash fuel/power economy.

I can't think of a brand that would be a harder sell for the sort of people that want an EV right now. In my mind it screams "big for the sake of big", not efficient or environmentally friendly...

I think this strategy is aimed at the people who think they do not want an Ev under any circumstances

I'll take 40 eMPG if if gets the original 9 MPG ICE Hummers off the road.
