GM has pulled out of Europe and Australia, two markets Ford still have a large stake in.

The Sebring was such a disappointment because the concept looked pretty awesome but there was obviously no way it would have made production as is.

So basically they’re finally replacing the Elgrand after 13 years.

Yeah, I was gonna say a 97% efficient panel would be much bigger news than this.

Agreed. It was a real shame because I really liked the C7. But this new one they  just decided it all needed to be angry, angry, angry.

Bonjour

but the I.D. 4 is bad

For a while in the early to mid 2000s most Nissan VQs required premium, probably since their compression is around 10.3:1. I recall my grandmothers’ 2002 Maxima needing it which was a surprise coming from a SBC-powered Caprice.

The car that does car things. i.e. gets you from point A to B.

I mean, it is too late. Everyone who would have bought an Air already has a Model S, EQS, i7, or Taycan. If it preceded any of those it would have sold better than it does now. Maybe not sold well, but better.

Well, it doesn’t come from one of the four megacorporations that currently make almost all the EVs. Which doesn’t necessarily make it all that better, but more competition is always a good thing.

I appreciate the variety at the very least. Partnering with Magna is a fairly safe bet as an upstart, and I’m interested in them offering an alternative to established brands even if their initial products are medicore to us at best. More diversity in any industry is always good.

Meh, it looks fine. Saying it’s any prettier or uglier than any other EV CUV on the market is hyperbole since they all look basically the same. I think the Blazer EV looks worse, personally, and it ticks all your boxes just as well.

I mean, the Avalon is a Camry pretending to be bigger anyway.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ To each their own. I just prefer the outgoing 6er since it’s the closest we ever got to the excellent Pininfarina car:

It’s alright once you learn it, but tbh most of its functions are entirely unnecessary since all I use is bluetooth music streaming.

That’s a really good point. In those places where a Land Cruiser is already considered just as good if not better than having a Range Rover, a Century SUV might likewise be more desirable than a GLS or Bentayga.

Good. I was coming to make sure someone said Falcon. I submit an AU.

As a Volvo lover it’s a miss for me. It takes some of the stylistic foibles of the EX90 and makes them worse, namely the DLO shapes being misaligned with certain other shutlines and I hate the swooping front wheel arch accented by the clamshell hood, it’s just awful. I personally think both the platform-mates the…

Most Geelys have near-Volvo safety by using shared parts and copying design philosophies.
