So many people spend so much time complaining about how modern cars look. “Everything is so boring now,” they say, along with “.” We’ve all heard people moaning about how “you can’t tell cars apart any more without looking at the badge.” Those people need look no further than Kia and Hyundai for a dose of truly unique styling.

We’ve driven the and before, , but never before have we had the chance to really live with them. This weekend, that’s my goal: Put one of the best-looking EVs on the market through its paces on a long holiday weekend in the New England suburbs.

My chariot for the test will be the Kia EV6, a rear-wheel drive GT-Line model. Rural Connecticut seems like a pretty accurate setting given how I suspect most of these vehicles will be used: parked in single-family garages and used to ferry people to work, shopping, and the occasional boba tea stop.

On those metrics, how will the EV6 perform? Will it be plush, comfortable, and fade into the background over pothole-filled roads? Will its charging range be manageable using 120V household outlets and the occasional Level 2 charger while out and about? Will it be too pretty, causing whiplash injuries in the Big Y parking lot as people crane their necks to see it pass by?

These are my questions, but what are yours? I’ll have the car for the full weekend, so I’ll have time to explore all the little details and nitpicks that matter when something becomes your only car. If you want to know cargo capacity, lumbar adjustment, or how many Hot Wheels cars can fit in the glovebox, leave your questions below. Also, maybe send in a Hot Wheel, because I do not have enough to measure with.

For $4,500, Your Saab’s Different, Mrs. Jalopnik
For $4,500, Your Saab’s Different, Mrs. Jalopnik
Saabs have always been eclectic, from the ignition lock between the seats, to their little mid-car mud flaps. Today's '86 900 is no exception, and for $4,500, it'd let your Swedish freak flag fly. Whoa, despite hachiroku's protestations, yesterday's suffered one of the more decisive losses here on NPOCP. Not...

For $8,500, ’86 V8 Volvo Hauls Kids and Ass
We've seen V8lvos here before on , and for some reason, they always seem to be blue. Today's is no exception, however its claimed 290-whp does seem pretty exceptional. The advancements in human organ transplant in the past fifty years are also exceptional. The ability for an individual to survive,...

Why Pay $5,500 For an ’87 190E? Just Be Cosworth
Why Pay $5,500 For an ’87 190E? Just Be Cosworth
The 1885 Benz Patent Motorwagon is generally considered to be the first production car. Today's 190E Cossie represents over 100 years of evolution since then, but could its price make it potentially your next car? Volkswagen bought the sinking Auto Union from Mercedes Benz in 1965. With that purchase VW...

Who Knows if This Porsche is Worth $14,995? The Slant Nose
Born in the ‘70s, the 935 was the factory racing version of the 911. Today's 911 shares the 935's slant nose and flared fenders, but unlike its progenitor, you can race this one alfresco. We Jalops like us some wagons, yes sir we do. We also get a chubb over...

For $12,990, Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Sentra?
For $12,990, Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Sentra?
The term Q-ship originated in WWI when merchant vessels carried hidden armament to attack and sink enemy subs. Today's Sentra also looks sedate, but hides a turbo 2.5-liter. Would you sink thirteen large for it? Appearances are not always what they might seem, and looking at yesterday's , the layman...

Externally, the is indistinguishable from . But under its skin lives a brand-new, 6.2-liter, 411-hp V-8. We didn't desert race it, but we did cover it in two inches of mud. Spring in Michigan can be very hard to live with — it's the kind of weather that turns a...
