The slushbox likely explains the low miles-pretty to look at, but not 16k pretty.

Man this thing is ugly. But ugly is the new normal.
Agree. We’ve been under the thumb of Big Metallic Grey for too long. There are 14 (fourteen!!) varieties of Triscuit (tm) crackers. Is it too much to ask for a few more flavors from Volvo?
Did I see you driving that Volvo C30? I was the guy in the other C30...
Born in 1959; I’m kinda OK! New for 1959: Morris Mini, Jaguar Mk2, Austin Healey 3000, Chevy Apache pickup.
The proportions are off; more like the LEGO version of a Lotus 7. No dice for this replica of a kit car.
Totally agree with you. For all I know the folks at Mercedes agree with you as well, but know that all these screens will sell cars to the intended (i.e. not you or me) audience.

Terraplane Blues:
I contest your premise: there are no useless car facts. Torch would vouch for this in between researching VW taillights.
The safety standards (in the US at least) assume a collision with a similar size vehicle. So, while you are no doubt correct about the safety of this vehicle vs one from 20 years ago, I hate the notion that I too must drive a behemoth just to protect myself from guys like this.

Where I live the whole neighborhood already has a luxury pick-up. Which, now that you mention it, they probably wouldn’t use to haul my crap because their truck might get a scratch.
Like, who exactly “selected” these colors? What were the other choices that they rejected?
I just wish this thing looked a bit more...different. The designers (or is Murray literally the only author?) have said they will sacrifice ultimate performance in favor of driver experience; I wish they had gambled a bit with the looks as well.
“The seller explains in the ad that she’s not keen to sell the truck but simply needs something smaller.”- said no truck buyer ever. I am immediately suspicious. ND
Smallpox is rare too, but I still don’t want it.
David Tracey will want one in 20 years
Most jobs aren’t really all that interesting, and even the really interesting careers don’t look that way to outsiders. Thus we have a bunch of crap TV about cops, lawyers and doctors on the theory that “life-and-death” makes for good TV viewing. A fictional series about racers (or astronauts, or bartenders) is not…
Literally any car sold in the last 40 years could exceed a speed limit by 20mph. This is just dumb. Also: why does it say “8 years of college trips”? Also: Since when is 2.5 hrs an “ultimate road trip”? This guy lives in Chicago where folks regularly spend 2.5 hrs in a car on a daily commute. There is only one car for…
