Get Thee to Sonoma: New e-Golf Selling for as Little as $4,500

The world is being encouraged to go electric and Sonoma’s latest effort might just get its residents thinking long and hard about buying an e-Golf as a unique combination of incentives could get you into the car for just $4,495.

The math works thusly:

The MSRP for a reasonably equipped 2016 e-Golf is a perfectly sensible $28,995. But it’s available with a $7,000 dealer credit ($21,995), add on the $7,500 federal tax credit ($14,495), the $2,500 state rebate ($11,995), and finally the $2,000 Sonoma Clean Power incentive and the car comes to an already measly $9,995.

But wait, as they say, there’s more! If you live in the Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District, you can get an extra $3,000 off thanks a program called 3-2-1 Go Green ($6,995). Unfortunately, only about 60,000 people live there, but still. Finally, if you’re a low-income buyer, you can get another $1,500 off from Sonoma Clean Power, bringing the total for the car down to just $4,495.

And lest you think this is ridiculous (it is, but), one buyer actually bought a Nissan Leaf and managed to get $20,000 in incentives. According to insideevs.com, his monthly payment amounts to just $90 and he doesn’t have to pay for gas.

Our views on the e-Golf are well-known, but with incentives like these, we can feel ourselves turning into a lycanthropic Jim Cramer and howling “Buy! Buy! Buy!” at the moon.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
