  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    Remember, the the WRX and Crosstrek are both Imprezas. They could literally stick the already-compliant WRX engine into the Impreza Hatch/Crosstrek and it would work. The challenge is production capacity. The factories in Japan and the US are maxed out which is a great problem to have, also...

    Back maybe 2013 when Subaru launched the Crosstrek I had a friend who worked at Subaru USA and he had one as a company car. While riding in it, we talked about how underpowered it was and I said it's a shame they don't do a WRX version. His response was "We should totally do one, and we'll sell...

    "Lucid targets industry-first self-driving car technology with Nvidia" Just to be clear, Lucid is looking to buy off the shelf AV tech from NVIDIA that itself is an industry first, nothing of what Lucid is doing is industry first. I've been seeing the NVIDIA AV test vehicles driving around...

    Top is just the Terra from that barn picture at the beginning of this thread, although maybe Gemini made some adjustments to the green. The mushroom color is light ivory beige which is the traditional color for German taxis.

    Since Scouts will be American cars with German roots, let's see what life in Germany would look like.

    Initial Production Release

    Staggered launches aren't an issue so long as the stagger isn't crazy. Couple months, six months, sure. If it's a year plus then I'd call that problematic. On a personal level, I simply see any potential delays as extending the window of time for things to happen resulting in me choosing a...

    There's really 2 Porsches these days: ICE and EV and the 911 falls squarely in the more traditional ICE category. The EV design stuff can, and hopefully will remain, specific to the EV mainstream cars like Taycan/Macan/Cayenne.

    EREV initial release only?

    Sounds like the kind of guy who doesn't like Apple Jacks because they don't taste like apples. Doesn't matter what he thinks, people buy what they like and those things are hot sellers often going for above MSRP.
