This is just VW trying to “figure out” America. I can just see the execs musing, “What do Americans like? Big ass trucks. Let’s show them a big ass truck in concept just to stay relevant... and so they can forget about the cheating business for a moment. Perfekt.”

Prius driver?

Eh, that would make the interior exceedingly busy, thus counter to [part of] the reason you like it to begin with, why the design works as is, and the intent of the designer.

However you want to spin it. Cadillac sees itself as a luxury brand. Even as a near-lux, it still isn’t in the “average” car category, thus the above-average cost. And, that, IS reality.

Whether you agree with it or not (subjective) Cadillac is positioned as a luxury brand within the GM family of brands (fact).

Less expensive in base trim. In higher trim the XC40 is pretty damn expensive.

At this price point, why would any one expect otherwise?? It’s a given. Even the smaller Jeeps are front biased.

As cool as that looks for sake of being different—and being somewhat OCD—that carpet would drive me bonkers in actual use. Have you seen a dirty orange couch?

It’s an entry-level offering from a LUXURY brand, thus demanding an ABOVE AVERAGE cost. Not a difficult notion to understand.

Hm. That dash design is very unfortunate.

That is just poor planning/design/implementation. Normally would at least have a triangular band of guard rail to divert vehicles to either side of the divider.

There aren’t enough down votes for this ignorant statement.

Let me guess... victim was not wearing seatbelt.

If borrowing from two characters in hats, trench coats and sunglasses doesn’t raise and red flags, you kinda deserve to be reamed.

Don’t you worry your pretty head. Once these go on sale they’ll be running around jacked sky-high with massive swampers.

I with each Uber related headline in the past few years, I keep wondering “how the hell is this company still alive?” I can’t think of a single positive headline associated with the company.

Don’t forget the Chrysler Crossfire.

LOL. Clueless.

Right, which goes to my original point. When you tell someone they can’t have/do something they want it more.

Power matters less when it’s providing motivation for a lighter mass.
