I don't know why automakers keep acting like this is so fucking hard to figure out.
Because every single decision is to maximize profits, not make sense!
I wish I could afford a 3 row electric SUV. A sentence younger me never thought I’d say.
Same, but I want a compact 3-row. Like the 3rd the row is available in case I need to carry more than 4 people, but otherwise the seats are folded down for cargo space. It's annoying that the Kia Sorento is what fits the bill, and it's way cheaper than the competition too. But then it's a Kia.
What's wrong with Kia?
Their anti-vpn protection doesn't let me see it.
Looks like a rebadged Toyota.
It literally is. Shared platform between this and the Highlander EV
Which raises the question: Why should Subaru continue to exist if their entire lineup in 10 years time is only shared platforms? The only thing they'll be selling on is name recognition- their interiors or features are no better and in many cases worse than Toyota. And they sure don't show up any cheaper either.
They're basically a dead car company with nothing to their name. My how the giants have fallen.
“The most powerful Subaru ever”, isn’t.
Codeveloped. Toyota is a major holder in Subaru and they share a lot of parts.
More like Toyota owns Subaru at this point. Subaru can't build anything innovative of their own and haven't for a decade. RIP.
"The Most Powerful Subaru Ever Is This Electric Family SUV, Yes", says Yoda.
I take my place in the pilot seat of the Elecric Family SUV — the most powerful ever by some accounts. Inhaling through my nostrils I take a deep, satisfying breath of satisfying O2 + N2, 20.9%/78.1 ratio. Just how I like it. For a moment I simply sit there feeling the power. Then I start to laugh. To some it would look insane. Maybe it is. I don’t care. Me and my 420 horseys do. not. care. I crank the radio and jam the accelerator to the floor.
