Lol. It’s cool for a crossover, probably similar in size to the Mach-E. I prefer the hot hatch size of the eGolf it replaces. Seats 5 (no third row) with a large back hatch and trunk storage. Potential range on these is only 260mi or so, which in my experience isn’t real word driving highway speeds in S. Florida. Decent acceleration up to 90+, with adaptive cruise (not self driving), panoramic roof, touch screen interface basically handles everything except windows, locks, and gear selector.

I hate these ultra modern minimalist interiors. VW is going downmarket with their redone interiors in general, but this style really highlights it.

Counterpoint: I love the ultra modern minimalist interiors.... but Tesla takes it too far in the model 3 with no center screen. Nice change from the 90's cars with 10,000 plastic buttons.

BMW I3 struck the perfect balance. One of my favorite modern car interiors.

Honda has also done a nice job in the new Civic with balance. Nice contrast from recent Honda's that are a mess of buttons and plastic.

I don't know. I miss the center console on my 1990s Audi A4. At night when all the buttons lit up in red I'd pretend I was in a spaceship.

My parents had a Boneville SSEI back in the 90's. I believe this was peak button. Of course after a few years half of the TEN seat position buttons didn't work.

I kinda agree w/you on that one. I like a car dash to look like a car dash. From what I've seen in pictures, I am liking the Volvo Recharge ones. We just don't have the infrastructure in place where I live for an EV vehicle to make any since right now.

There's one thing wrong with every car interior above. The gear shift isn't manual. I know it's a drag during traffic but I still miss manual.

Saw a Lexus GX470 this morning with lift kit, big knobbies, rear mounted spare, roof mounted pop-up camper tent, and snorkel.
we have those everywhere here. they look pretty sweet
Wow I’ve never seen a Lexus done up that way. It was a jarring sight. The pretentious survivalist.
The GX isn’t pretense. It’s fairly fucking capable bro
