in those countries don’t cruise at the speeds people tend to on a US Highway. A lot of countries in Europe (...), don’t typically have a good highway network

It’s a Chinese VW, so it makes sense. It is designed for China and probably by VW’s Chinese branche as well. I highly doubt this will become available in Europe.

To each their own, but I think it looks like a toy. Even more so than the ‘fullsize’ trucks of today.

Have you driven more modern hydropneumatic Citroëns? Like an XM or first or second gen C5? They already drive very different from a DS or SM.

Yes, those are all wagons. As is this Peugeot 508, which is assume is on the same platform as the Citroën.

I was born in 1983 as well. When I read the title I thought of all the AWESOME cars I could pick. I have even owned 3 cars that were also available in my birth year, two of which (a Peugeot 205 and a MK2 Golf) I own to this day.

Agreed. A big improvement to before. It would be even better to include the VAT percentage.

Even if the price was not an issue, the average buyer of an Opel crossover must be over 60. Possibly way over 60. Marketing this to young people in this way is a bad joke.

Not really. On certain roads there is such a thing as too much power. I’d argue many affordable cars available today have already crossed that line. They’re fun for a few seconds in a straight line, but cannot be wrung out on a curvy road as you hit a dangerous and/or highly illegal speed too quickly. Meaning that you…

The gender thing is another thing that I consider silly in Germany. When I hear the word ‘professor’ or whatever, I hear a gender neutral word. But not in Germany. You have the professor (male) and professorin (female). A group of people are professor*innen. So you have all genders and diversity

Depends on how you design those tax cuts. When the lower and middle incomes see their net income increase, then having to pay more for a gallon of gas can be acceptable.

What the government can do, and should do, is make clear rules.

The solution is quite simple:

Let’s look at UK pricing, as the article quotes UK prices. Directly from the manufacturer website.

And multiple times more expensive than this Dacia.

Two things:
