I think we could see the return of wagons--Estate Cars as they’re known in Europe. Better aerodynamics simply by the reduction of “frontal area”. Probably a bit of a weight reduction as well.

The man makes a lot of sense.

The U.S. is no longer the most important auto market. China is, and Europe is right behind. Citroen has always pushed the envelope and has been at the forefront of automotive design. I think the 2CV is the greatest design of all time because it provided the most with the least. In 1959, Jan Myrdal drove a 12 hp. 2CV…

“Our conviction, simple as it is, is that freedom of mobility is important, so 2.5 tonnes and €70,000 [£61,700] is not the answer.”

“It’s also Euro-centric”

Except SUVs are seen as wasteful and selfish now. It's actually dangerous to drive them.

I also think he’s way off base, but he’s the CEO of Citroen, a brand that currently is supposed to be antiestablishment. He’s not naive, it’s a calculated incendiary comment. It’s also Euro-centric, or maybe global-minus-the-U.S. where Citroen does not do business and doesn’t care about our SUV market.

The reality is simple, he is correct on the outcome, even if not for the reasoning he gives. SUVs will become passe. But more due to fashion than function, as function never really mattered in the reasoning for SUVs to become popular to begin with. It was - and still is - a fashion choice. Lifestyle is given as the…

Cobée doesn’t sell any vehicles in the US, which is a global outlier in almost every way. But even here, some SUVs and crossovers look like station wagons or hatchbacks (like the current Ford Explorer), with only some cladding and often optional 4WD to set them apart.

1st Gear:  I hope EPA isn't surprised that vehicles are getting larger, since their own rules encourage manufacturers to build larger vehicles.

...(Trucks) are subject to less stringent fuel economy standards.

Subaru, Kia and Nissan followed Tesla as the most efficient brands.

The range is perfectly adequate - even excellent - for a budget small SUV.

Yep. We all love shittin’ on Italian industries but they are quite cutting-edge in more than few things.

How do you review a car and not know it’s a diesel?

And yet corporate profits have never been higher. I’m not saying that the cost of production hasn’t risen, in some cases quite dramatically. But if this were solely a case of passing on additional costs, that wouldn’t be true. And if you keep raising prices, but not wages, it won’t take long before you run out of…

It’s a lot easier to turn off a digital platform than it is to get employees out of a country ready to imprison them and use them as POWs.

I agree with your disagreement.

*question about smallest liveable car*

Assistant Driving Mode seems designed to actively distract you while driving. It’s simply terrible. The Android Auto app was better in almost every way.
