I'm not very brand loyal on cars though my Dad was GM period.  I've own three Chevys, a Ford (briefly), an Olds and a Dodge Minivan, a Honda CR V, three Cadillacs (which I liked), the VW GTI, and now a Hyundai.

Were I to buy a "fun car" today it might be the CT4V Blackwing with a manual.

I've owned 4 Chrysler/MOPAR/Jeep, 2 GM, 2 Fords, 1 Honda, and 1 Toyota.  There's been good and bad to all of them, but I'd willingly own any of those brands again-- except for Toyota which was the most mind-bogglingly awful piece of shit I've ever encountered.  I'd never buy Toyota again.

Models wearing the GLE350 badge are powered by a 255-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine with either rear- or all-wheel drive (4Matic in Mercedes parlance) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Stepping up to the GLE450 brings standard all-wheel drive and a 362-hp powertrain that consists of a turbocharged inline-six. Both the GLE350 and GLE450 utilize 48-volt hybrid systems. The GLE450e's plug-in hybrid powertrain comprises a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor that combine for a total of 381 horsepower. 

Apparently the GLE350 is a regular hybrid.

That video, it you watch it (or not), may be a bit over the top for EVs, but it does raise some issues about how gasoline is produced.  I didn't check the figures of course.

It did not go into the energy needed to produce batteries unless I missed it.  Nothing is "free".

I do think EVs are cleaner overall in a life cycle analysis, but they of course aren't completely clean at all.
