I think its a bit of a moot point, only because small companies like this, without massive parents and stock values to dictate sale volume, view profit margins much differently and are typically self funded passion projects, so they would never have a reason to make an SUV. Not only this but they don’t have the

The news that we weren’t getting this exact iteration isn’t a surprise if you think about it. Ford would never release this thing over hear with a 2.0 liter diesel as the base engine, considering its competition is the Colorado ZR2, who’s base engine is a V6. Yes it does have a 2.8 diesel, but that wasn’t the base

Ok Chevy fan boy, go buy a hideous Camaro. Thank god your responses have to be approved, because otherwise you’d be a waste of everyone’s time.

Annnnddd as with every other car of this fashion, they were all accounted for before production was announced to the public.

You sir have just passed the test congratulations, that was the only correct answer. I rescind my previous stance on this premise.

While you have that ridiculously awful take the rest of us are sitting here thinking “Thank god that guy isn’t the head of design anywhere”. This car is attractive on literally the most basic level. Go buy and Aztec and STFU.

Thank you Tom, this is something that has needed to be said for a LONG time. In my mind this issue not only affects those who are dealing with a lower bottom line and need to find a car within their budget but also over inflates the car market to the point where we have a mid-tier new Jeep Wrangler, that as expected

You are clueless if you think that Bugatti and VW share balance sheets just because one owns the other...And a concept that people like you who speak before they think can’t seem to fathom is that the people who would buy a Bugatti suv would never dream of buy a VW branded suv....I know that thought is a bit complex

Not the same thing at all, again 3 different buyer segments clearly defined by purpose and price point. The VW tree is clearly a well organized ladder of price, quality and purpose that finishes with Bugatti. The cars don’t compete in segment or price and thereby don’t conflict. GM was a mess, no clear path with

I get what your saying I do, but then that isn’t the point of the crossovers. They aren’t making them because they feel left out or just want to, they are making them to be a closer to mass market way to achieve better numbers. While we all want an LM002, it probably wouldn’t sell as well as a more civilized crossover

To be honest it seems that the way in which lineups are organized or planned out is based on a completely different set of variables then it used to be and A lot of it boils down to the amount of “Stuff” Americans have and our need to take everything everywhere. In the earlier days as you mention, car companies like

This whole thing can be summed up by the fact that the 3 companies do not have the same consumer base. You can’t simply group them as 3 expensive car brands that compete with each other because they don’t. Luxury, Uber Luxury and Exotic Sports are three very different consumer categories and VW would like to corner

“to help fund Volkswagen Auto Group’s research and development budget” ............ So wouldn’t they want to increase revenue to increase their development budget? Also, I kind of already mentioned your first comment so I fail to see where you are going with this but rich people want crossovers too.... Bently and

If their readers don’t hold them accountable and request more thought out content who will?..... Kind of how it works

When running a company, actions pertaining to increasing revenue stream aren’t always driven as much by need as modern culture would lead you to believe. Bugatti most likely doesn’t NEED more money at all, but they would always like to increase profits and would be morons to ignore potential avenues. The reality is

How dare they expand their line-up and make a car that plays more to current consumer demand, how dare they. It would be much better if they ignored potential avenues for increasing profit and never operated like a company that actually wanted to bring in additional revenue....This narrative is getting old Jalopnik,

When you see rust of select CP with the confidence the rest of the world agrees and....19.79%....I’m now questioning all life decisions I have ever made.

To age well would insinuate the design looks timeless, and not out of date, and your saying that if the Pacifica came out today with those modifications it would be inline with the styling of today? This car was a POS back then and it would be now and the fact that you are using the Journey, a car that hardly even

Again, not right. The term “aged well” would insinuate it somehow looks good today...nope still bad. This thing was always much more van than crossover.

Hard pass hard pass...Everyone’s got an opinion, but opinions can be wrong...
