I am an owner of the Elr , I agree it was overpriced , that being said it is one of the best looking cars around , also it is fantastic driver it handles lie a dream more fun running up a windy road then my challenger , tons of safety features and luxury abound , I was fortunate enough to but it at a discount , about 45000. It gets great gas mileage on electric and as electric u need to drive this car if you did u would but it
