The lack of color on the Ford badge reminds me of this little problem Volvo used to have:

Looking more like a bee in every instance.
All that and they kept the mirrors?
This gave me a genuine chuckle.
Alt headline: Car we once openly mocked now indistinguishable from present norm.
I actually think in terms of exterior styling most production Cadillacs got it right. Those interiors, though...
Seems easier to me.
I take your point, but I’m suggesting that the American brands seem to find themselves flat-footed fairly often. (Vis-a-vis the competition.)
Hyundai/Kia is really struggling, even per the article. And announcing a future intention to shift strategy is very normal corporate behavior - not at all what’s happening here.
I find it fascinating how all the American brands responded to these market shifts in such a disruptive fashion. Either because they were starting from a position of weakness or just from having a cultural tendency toward decisive action, they’re moving with an abruptness you just don’t find in import brands. Surely…
They encase it glass now, too. Not that this a problem I anticipate having, but that would have been the first thing to go were I to get a Cayenne.
Looks like the Lagonda Aston is trying to revive just mixed with a mishmash of cues from other makers. Hyundai designers -probably because they were all bought from the established players- almost invariably take stuff wholesale from their former employers. It’s kind of funny.
Treachery of Swedishes.
Can’t believe they’re refreshing the G90 before introducing a crossover.
Yes, it’s got the Levante problem of trying to turn it into a five door sports car on stilts. Makes me appreciate the SUV bona fides of the original Cayenne all the more tbh.
Yes, but it’s the kink in the roofline, too.
If anything:
Well, Illinois. And, as it turns out, it doesn’t.
Also, oh wait. It literally says it’s a reference to LA. That’s an... interesting branding choice. Did they learn nothing from the Chrysler Aspen?
