Looks more like a CLS than a Taycan to me.

I definitely see what you're referring to.

Uncamouflaged/rendered it looks like any of the modern 4 door coupes. I wish cars looked interesting still. Coincidentally the Ioniq 5 is the most interesting looking car I have seen in a while.

New Zealand isn't currently part of Australia

Anyway it's just the Levorg with a more recognisable badge. Not surprising really, Levorg was always a terrible name.

Hopefully it doesn't look like a 2005 Maxima, because that's kinda what that shape looks like.

I just saw this, the stupid body lines remind me of the Ssangyong Rexton




The rear glass carrying on into the pillar also reminds me of the Ssangyong rodius.




Almost makes me wonder if they poached a designer.

$39k work truck version will theoretically exist and no lot will ever see one.

And you have to use your phone or a key card to start it.

Suppose it doesn't matter for a pure EV, but lots of times I'm getting in my car I don't want to actually start it.
I also want less everything to do with my phone. I'd rather not tie a bunch of poo poo to a single device that can be stolen or break easily.

Presumably it turns off when you leave so what does it matter? And if you don't want to use your phone, use the card instead.

lol that the thought of having a key to drive a car and either putting it in the ignition and turning it or just pressing a go button is a process that needs to be streamlined further.

Yeah, a unibody sedan-derived truck with an electronic AWD system that is FWD biased is a hard sell to someone used to body on frame with RWD or true limited slip 4x4.

Typical BMW buyers didn't know their cars were RWD for a while there years ago, not sure most people would actually notice if you didn't point it out.

Price is their primary concern.

The only thing he actually uses his truck for is like, mulch in the summer and pellets for their wood stove in the winter - and I'm pretty sure those get delivered.

I got in a new Jimny recently and it was refreshing how little stuff was in it. Just the things you need, absolutely nothing more.

Me too, that's why we went with it instead of the BRZ. Not on MSRP, but usual dealer fee BS. We got it for right at 33 out the door.

I was away in South Africa and got to tootle round in a friend's one. He paid RRP for it which is £19k at home and works out to about $25k, it was bright green and adorable, very spartan, very plastic inside, short on space for anything more than 2 people, buzzy at high speed but then it isn't a motorway mile muncher...
