I don’t particularly think the ES is a good car (the current generation has an awfully cheap interior), but it has always worn predator face the best out of all their sedans. This doesn’t seem to change the latter point, and it will be interesting to see how they address the former.

Ooh it’s clear they’re trying to give their new fug face a soft landing.

They certainly seem to think so! (UK market, but still.)

This cannot come soon enough. If we were armchair product planning, I’d want an affordable compact EV and an LS / LC type EV and/or performance hybrid.

Ha, that’s true. I see a lot of rental convertibles where I’m at, to be sure.

I’m... kinda stunned by this? Like, where are they? Or is this a pyrrhic kind of victory where I struggle to come up with any other sports car I see more of.

Interesting they’re at Porsche dealers, no? Seems like something the rest of VW Group would benefit from if they’re trying to shift to EVs.

Can this be understood as gender based discrimination?

Yes, there is no worse labor system implemented in the US throughout its history than “Amazon worker,” truly. We have reached peak collective apathy and cognitive dissonance at this precise point.

Their defense of “But we don’t even let them unionize!” has tickled me pink.

And no roof! Yes, sir or madam, I am so pleased we are in agreement. The CrossCab is too the embodiment of a real Sport Utility Vehicle.

I want to hear the functional justification for what they did to the back.

And if there’s one company* that’s “more concerned with headlines” than with safety...

I won’t even pretend to know shit about trucks.

It’s not leaking it’s Roman Catholic. Be blessed, children.

No, none at all.

The black headlight surrounds make it look funny and lemur-ish, but otherwise this is the most fab city car.

Or a GX! The margins must be killer on those things. I still see quite a few brand new ones, too, despite its colossal age.

I have always loved that it is named after the Roman goddess of luck. The whole point of her mythology is that you don’t always get the cornucopia!

And isn’t the fact alone galling? As I day, it is not an indictment on the author.
