Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

I don't know why Wagons are so rare here, I really like them as well. Back when I lived in the UK I had a Golf R Wagon which I loved. Nice and fast and loads of room in the back. I know they made the Golf Wagon here (although I barely ever see any) but they never released the Golf R in Wagon version in the USA.

I had the tsx wagon and probably my favorite car. Then they sent a survey asking if a v-6 version with SHAWD appealed to me and I was like HELL yeah it does-but I’ve mentioned before-Acura said women hated them so they never pursued it. Needless to say I blame @cyure

Well somebody better step up and start sharing the wealth. @cyure gonna hulk out soon. And I know with a couple of the NYC photos I got a peak of there’s a few surprises (small) but anxious to see them executed

Hey I like wagons. If that Audi RS6 Avante wasn’t as much as my first house I would have bought it. . The only wagons we get here cost a small fortune.

What do the floor mats look like? Let’s get a view.
Nevermind. I found a video of it.

They fit the retro vibe so well.

Hoping these design cues mean there will be a Baja edition because the mats and straps fit the look for Baja

That’s what I saw a sneak peak of -they were cut out but not complete and was so excited to see them in the Scout. Was bummed I wasn’t allowed to say anything but they are definitely cool

Keeping secrets!

Keeping secrets!

When a man says can you keep a secret and my wife behind me says-I’ll make sure of it-you get to see things. I took treats too-I’m no dummy.
Wait until the first Halloween they are out and you get to see the app that pops the frunk and roars and a werewolf figure lurches out at tricker-treaters-it’s sick. (Shhh-don’t tell anyone I let that slip)

Won't work for my needs, but still a rad little vehicle.

If I was kid free and in my twenties again I would be all over this thing.

Yes I would too. It does look like something out of Mad Max.

I keep wishing I’d get an invite to SM design center but I suspect our hard core brutal honesty about design has them scared to hear all the things we might say

I only (partially) understand functional design. When it comes to aesthetic design, I haven’t got a clue. They definitely don’t want me in the design studio when they’re discussing aesthetics.

Honestly I just know what I like. That’s what’s important to me. Don’t get me wrong, I want you all to get what you want too, but if I don’t love the aesthetics I’m not buying it.

I just saw that Geely is planning to enter its company ECARX on the NASDAQ. So that the US owner ship grows an they will be able to start importing to the US.

ECARX is a software and tech company, not a carmaker. And it doesn't matter who owns a carmaker, it matters where the cars are made. Buicks and Lincolns made in China have import tariffs when sold here. Geely-owned Volvos and Polestar made in South Carolina avoid the tariffs (except for their imported parts).

I have so little interest in aesthetics that it would have to be supremely fugly for me not to buy it if it meets my needs. (To me that Crater is just terrible, but if it was the only thing that met my needs next time I need a vehicle, I’d buy it.)

It’s the functionality that matters to me. If I can’t do the things I need to do with the thing, I’m not interested, regardless of how pretty it is.

I’m just repeating what I watched and heard.

I have to have both which is why it’s taken me test driving nearly 20 cars to get here!
