If this were priced appropriately I would be very tempted to turn this thing into a Lemons racer.

Honestly, I’d rather teleport everyone else’s car somewhere else so I can enjoy some of my own local roads.

Fair point.

I wonder how true the scarcity of parts actually would be. So much of this car is shared with existing volvos it’s basically a just souped up 2 door V60 PE.

This is basically a 2dr version of the current V60 Polestar but with more power and more EV range. At $70k and super low miles, this is a decent amount of car for the money. The only real downside is the tiny trunk.

Right? And let’s be real, if Millenials can’t drive a manual it’s completely because these dusty old farts the stopped buying them and never taught their kids how. They only have themselves to blame.

Our local PD has been running an F150 Lightning. Not entirely sure why either.

You bring up an interesting point. With the plastic fender cladding and the “X” in the name I mistakenly assumed the Buick was following the same lifted offroadish wagon recipe of the Audi and Volvo. The A6 also has an Allroad variant, and unlike the A4 the suspension is adjustable so it can remain at a normal road hei…

Lack of buttons. I’m tired of everything being controlled by a touchscreen. Pouring through menus to access climate control and drive modes is irritating.

Audi and Volvo never stopped selling wagons in the US, and that TourX is actually longer than them.

Both Audi and Volvo make not one but 2 wagons that are the same size or shorter than your TourX

Came here to say this. My Volvo V60 PE works pretty well as a consolation prize though. It’s a hybrid but I’m running full electric 90% of the time. It’s only on longer driving days or when I feel like driving...<cough>...spiritedly that the engine ever kicks on. But seriously, someone needs to make an EV wagon that…

Hard to say. On one level it was free because it was a hand-me-down from my parents. On the other hand it was such a piece of shit I spent untold thousands just to keep it running.

Every single day. Twice. I own a dog so that’s the big reason but seriously, unless you have physical limitations it’s not hard, especially in New York.

“Killing off a product line before you can replace it, while slashing budgets across the company with the goal of doubling profit margins, is a recipe for a bad time.”

“On the flipside, you’ve taken a person in a mental health crisis and forced them to lie on their stomach with duct-taped limbs on an airplane. What’s that going to do to them?”

It’s different because the OEM is defined as the company that built the original chassis (Mercedes, Ford etc) not who is selling the finished product. So while Winnebago can get away with it, I doubt Mercedes could ship the Sprinter to them with the light bar already installed. Beyond that these are also all examples…

Many people really don’t know how to solder properly, and a sad number of them get paid to do this.

In my professional experience both are prone to failure because both can be done improperly. I’ve seen countless examples of poorly executed examples of both. It all depends on who is doing the job and whether or not they know what they are doing.
