Nope, no digital button.    It's either using the keyfob or the button on the tailgate.    It's ridiculous. 

A couple of things hiding in the background…. Don’t see much of the front but I think Maverick is similar. The F Series drop down feature is there on the front door… Edit, RMC for the win, hours earlier, nailed it IMO…     Initially I was concerned when I saw CE1 a while back but now, less so and probably acceptance of Maverick went a long way  breaking the ice with buyers….

You’re right that context matters, especially when comparing aero gains across very different baselines. But I think it’s also important to factor in what Ford explicitly said  that the 50-mile range increase comes from aero and efficiency improvements alone, using the same battery. That’s not minor, especially when we’re likely looking at a battery somewhere in the 60-65 kWh range. If true, it puts their LMR truck in a solid position without necessarily needing the higher 75-90 kWh packs to hit practical range targets.

To them elder Gen Xs and others out there chasing the 1990s name, here's a better approach: get yourself an actual 1990s 'Lude rather than an overpriced Civic coupe, which is what the 2026 version is.      

Toyota just gets it. 

Never underestimate the will of Honda loyalists to buy Honda models, no matter how subpar the vehicle may be. 

I am honestly surprised that this didn't get cancelled. I find it to be an attractive vehicle, but it's too expensive, the range isn't great, and the Stellantis EV reliability record is pretty atrocious. 

I get Volkswagens as work rentals every once in a while, and none of them excel in any particular area. The last Atlas that I rented had VERY hard, uncomfortable seats (definitely harder than most American consumers are used to). The last Jetta that I rented had a very plasticky interior with an anemic powertrain. If Volkswagen thinks they're helping their image by selling vehicles into rental fleets, they're definitely not...

I noticed that as well! It reminds me almost of like the Ford airstream, interceptor, and Super Chief era of Ford design where they went with that really bold, large, singular front end graphic, just reimagined for the EV age. I actually kinda like it, it gives the vehicle a commanding presence imo.
