Seems like an opportunity for a student mechanic to create a YouTube series on rebuilding and upgrading a blown Hyundai engine!

Ha, I was coming here to say that!

I have looked at new Nissans on the road, and though “I’d like to buy that”. New corporate design language has hit the right marks for me. These are some of the eye catchers for me:

Any word on whether water/mud made it into the cabin? If the cabin waterproofing is that good, then that truck should be used in their next ad campaign.

$10-20 Mill per car. Cute.

Nothing that a set of neoprene seat covers can’t fix.

A master planned community is nothing new, but this is just a fantasy of someone with virtually unlimited budget.

“Come try our new delicacy - Soylent Green!”

While it’s interesting to learn that a majority of cars in Norway are now EVs, one must keep in mind that at 5.5 million, Norway’s entire population is smaller than Chicagoland.

Will this reignite the ‘what does luxury mean’ debate again?

The EV truck sales numbers are so small as to be insignificant. And there are so many other variables affecting sales and deliveries of the non-Tesla brands, that drawing conclusions is misleading at best.

Looks like a good opportunity to upgrade to something like this:

Yup, words no longer mean anything in Stellantis’ world.

Came here to say this:
“Also: 3-figure power and a bench seat are a bad mix.”

I guess people are starting families later in life now, so lets add 30 somethings to the market.

Perhaps when 20 somethings can afford rent and food first, then maybe they’ll start buying sports cars. Till then, we’re stuck with the meagre offerings available now.

They could do it like Ewan and Charlie did on The Long Way Up. Have a diesel generator follow you and the Rivian support trucks.

Volvo has a recent history of making really expensive and complicated ICE models, not just EV. For example the T8 powertrain. A 2.0l Turbo and Super charged gas engine, with a battery powered hybrid system.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission ;) Keep stalling until the kid goes pro.

So what you’re saying is, when I win the lottery, I’ll have to buy all the surrounding neighbour’s homes before I build a racetrack in my backyard. Thanks for the heads up. The budget is ballooning already....
