I didn’t think it would take up so much space, but you’re probably right. I just looked up the trunk of the ID3 and it is really tiny for that segment too.

Seems like it, but the ID.3  is Golf sized. I wonder what’s taking up all that space?

Wut? The Atlas Cross Sport is 15in. longer, 5 in. wider and 4 in. taller. It’s significantly bigger!

I think the fun, second car, EV convertible market is a good one to tap. If you want a fun weekend car, 150 - 200 miles of EV range is plenty and why not make it a convertible too?

I think you’re on to something with this. EVs keep pushing toward family haulers and that causes people to complain about range, cargo, etc. While they shouldn’t stop that push, an EV convertible positioned as a second fun car that doesn’t need oil changes, gas, or typical ICE maintenance is a great sell.

Replacing a Prius with an EV is a shockingly low increase on overall cost to own/run. I was crunching the numbers on my last vehicle purchase (fall 2020) and when you factor what a Prius costs (or even a Prime) vs an EV (not to mention used models) it’s insane how long the breakeven is.

Can confirm, all the Arteons around me have $8-9k on the hood.

Top trim called the Rusty Venture?

Eagle and Grand Eagle? I love it

I really was only half joking. I fully expect a GLC and GLE Coupe Cabriolet, maybe even a GLA if the first two really sell.

To clarify, this will be on the new TNGA platform or Lexus equivalent? I can’t remember if that was said earlier or I made it up in my head.

Yeah, what’s with that yellow circle? 

Oh yeah, totally agree. I always go in with my own financing, but the dealers have always beaten it for me. 

Oh yeah, it’d be the perfect dad trim Mustang. 

Here come the cabriolet crossovers! A vagabond truly ahead of its time!

Aw man! I was secretly hoping it was going to be a King Ranch Mustang! What else could I possibly drive to the Texas Roadhouse!?

I never budge on color for this reason. I did it once (of my own accord the salesman didn’t pressure me at all) and I regretted it. The right color combo exists somewhere, if the sales man wants the sale he’ll figure it out.

As someone who used to be a banker, the rate you’ll get at the dealership from the same bank may be much lower than what you got sitting in front of the banker. When I did the occasional auto loan, I never saw anything under 5% and most of the time it came back 9 or 10 % but the bank I worked at often had 0.9% or 1.9%…

Nothing more than a young Hyundai salesman telling me and my friend that a base 2013 Elantra makes 220hp from it’s NA 2.0L I4. Yeah, I actually laughed at him and pointed to the window sticker that said “147hp” and we left.

Hahahaha, and of course Lexus does it properly! That’s why people buy them!
