station wagon superiority
i need an electric station wagon goshdarnit!!
I really want a large electric station vagon, or even better an electric camper with decent range.
Hopefully its just a few years away.
I love mt Subaru Levorg (aside from its fuel consumption), I wish they made a new version with an electric drivetrain, instead they made the fuckin Solterra
I wish we got those in the US. I would trade my Outback for one in a heartbeat.
A 2000 outback as an ev would be amazing. I love the old Outbacks.
The Outback is cool too
I do love mine with the H6
Convertibles and coupes are also a dying breed.
Yes! Me too. I think the only option at the moment is the MG5 here in Europe.
There’s also the Astra electric.
In the interim, the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Hybrid is an excellent alternative. Versatile, spacious, fuel efficient, reliable, and dare I say quite attractive as well. The Toyota Prius V / α also deserves a shout out
this is the only new car I would consider buying. Of course, if they did offer it in my market, it would be full of touch screens and spyware, so I still wouldn't buy it
tbh this is why i am still following that "Slate" EV Truck
A truly minimalist vehicle that not only doesn't have a touch screen, it also doesn't have a stereo system, a cellular data uplink, gps navigation, or even power windows (you can technically get power windows if you want to opt for them but the others are Bring Your Own Tech)
of course, i'm not putting any money down until the day i can actually get in and drive one off the lot MYSELF... been too burned by vaporware products -_-
this thing though, at the very least, feels like it might still be LIKELY because it's a minimum viable product single purpose tool:
It is a MACHINE
that turns ELECTRICITY
into GOIN' SOMEWHERE
And That's It.
NO MORE, NO LESS!
Here in Australia there's the new Deepal E07 which is a weird and interesting concept. Looks like a sedan / truck / station wagon all in one.
VW ID7 was advertised as the new Passat stationwagen.
It ended up just being a standard sedan with more tacky LEDs on the outside starting at like € 70k
Taycan Cross Turismo or Sport Turismo is incredible. It had better be for its sticker price tho. But they're probably great on the used market.
