  1. I think history will repeat itself when Fisker goes bankrupt and some one else will buy up the ashes of the company. This is what happened to the Karma. Maybe it will be Nissan, but if not, a Chinese automaker will buy it. I'd like to see Fisker rebadged as Datsun...
  2. There is also the rumor that Apple was thinking about buying Rivian recently. And in the past, they considered buying Tesla, until Elon Musk insisted that he should be on the Apple B.O.D. if the sale went through.
  3. It reminds me of the Plymouth Horizon/Dodge Omni/Peugoet 402 and a little of the VW Rabbit and AMC Gremlin. But unlike all those other cars, I really like this!
  4. As much as I hate to say it, I always thought Bronco was going to be a fad car like the two seat T-bird, PT Cruiser, the new Camaro and Toyota FJ Cruiser. Once the first wave of fans buy it, it doesn't sustain momentum.
  5. That being said, I do like all the Rivian products.
  6. When I see the front, I am reminded of this:
  7. I wonder if maybe they will have a smaller car on the next Alfa Romeo Gulia platform to make a Challenger at a later date. Then they could do a 2 and 4 door of that as well.
  8. I actually liked that thing on my EXP! It had the light test button to make sure the warning lights worked. They were probably worried that the light test button wouldn't work and need to have a test for that as well. The most bizarre thing was the fuel filler door release was in the glove box, so you had to lean across the car to open it. A button behind a door to release another door.
  9. I really liked the Airflow and I hate the Halcyon. The Airflow looked like it could easily be sold in Europe as a Peugeot or Opel model. The airflow's Chrysler almost logo looks like a batman logo in that picture too, even though the Halcyon looks like a Batmobile after a serious accident.
  10. Needing to transport passengers and not having the ability to do it is even more of a pain. I'm sure someone is up to the task of making easy to remove seats and use them as chairs in the house. It's not like you'd be adding and subtracting chairs on a daily basis anyway. Mazda could have even done an option delete to remove the chairs which would allow you to buy the rear seats later as well if needed as an after market option. I just think it is just dumb to market the same car as a different model because of not having seats.
  11. I would make a third row seat, that could be removed from the car, and could have clip on legs put on them so they could be used as extra house chairs until you need them in the car again.
  12. The rear bumper screams off to me as it has a string attached to it to hold it on...
  13. Ummmm... They're interesting. But it may be too much like that start up company Cannoo van thing. But unlike Cannoo, Kia is a funded and established automaker, so that's why it has a better chance of working.
  14. And 3 out of the 4 Fiats are discontinued and they're still selling them.
  15. In the case of hurricanes, blizzards or disasters, that would be a great responder vehicle.
  16. On the flip side, the surviving dealerships will be the "big conglomerate dealers" (the guys that own dozens of dealerships spanning multiple brands), and with less competition, the mark up games and shady crap will continue to get worse.
  17. Some of the Scion models were derived from Daihatsu, so I wonder if those are also under investigation.
  18. I think it is a good strategy. They don't have a great EV effort, but they are the kings of hybrids. It should up their green image while keeping buyers who aren't ready for full on EV cars happy.
  19. It probably has that cage/basket thing that folds over the open tailgate like the Sport Trac did. But still, it's supposed to be a full size truck. The more news I see of this truck, the more I think it's going to be a total dud.
  20. I think they're a little optimistic calling that a CUV when it looks more like a wagon, but that being said, I like it!
  21. I think the Mustang Mach E is a perfectly fine name for that car. Its name implies that it is inspired by the Mustang and has Mustang like styling cues in it. The point I was making with the Capri is that it isn't in the same market segment AND it appears not to have any influence from the original Capri. It almost looks inspired by the 80's Euro Escort which I thought would resonate better with buyers as the Escort was more recent. Of course the new Capri is under heavy camo , so it could very well be heavily Capri influenced and surprise everyone as well. After all, the prototype is camouflaged to deceive everyone before it is revealed.
  22. I've posted this many times here, but I thing GalaxiE spelled this way with the "E" is a missed opportunity.
