2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz get a Refresh

Ford would be done faster than that.  Proof would be in Europe as Volkswagen Group is actually suffering economically as Chinese EVs have been dumped in that market.   Analysts here and in Europe with biases against EVs continue to falsely blame a lack of interest for EVs and that VAG and Ford and everyone else that fails in selling EVs its because too much effort was made to sell EVs and there are no buyers for them. I say its because Ford, VAG and all others' EV technology is lackluster and hence nobody TRUSTS VAG and Ford EVs enough to buy them.   GM is mid pack when it comes to EV technology and hence mid pack when it comes to EV sales.  If GM is to survive a Chinese EV onslaught of dumping EVs in the North American market, GM NEEDS to ACCELERATE EV offerings not reduce them like Ford is doing.   Chevrolet needs a family of Bolt EVs to do battle with the cheap Chinese stuff.  An idea that GM has tossed around. I am not sure if Mary Barra is continuing on with that path though.  Chevrolet does offer 2 EV family SUVs as of now. Might be enough.   The Buick EVs WILL have to make it from China to here. With the tariffs, Buick might have to build them back in the usa.  That would be a win win for the usa. Just as trump intended.  Ford is doomed if they do not follow through with their recent EV platform strategy.  In less than 20 years with tariffs on and less than a decade with no tariffs...  EVs are the future whether americans want to admit it or not.  I really do not care if americans believe that to be true or not.   Doom and gloom is around the corner for americans on many levels.  How much doom and gloom?  It all depends on how much more bullshyte americans are willing to ignore and live with.  It all depends also with how much bullshyte trump and his enablers are willing to impose on the usa. 

There is an interesting observation of history right now. The 1920's moving into the 1930's hell of America is very much like the 2010's and the current 2020's with bling on autos and yet we are hitting old money versus new money and the incompetence of the 1% with the Idiot47 administration mirrors the hell we went through in the 1930's. America is screwed for the next 50 to 70 years and even then, I doubt we will ever be the global leader that we were up till Idiot45 and 47 took office with his stupid IQ of 79 and clearly no ability to lead, only corruption and a puppet of Russia.

If I was new money or even old money in the 1920s, my choice of ride would be those Duesenbergs.  

Interesting conversation about old money/new money and their respective preference for their understated cars versus new money bling bling cars. Gary Cooper:  A lister Hollywood superstar sex symbol actor of the 1920s.  Would be considered new money for his day?  I would believe so. He owned this Duesenberg And this Duesenberg.  1 of 2 built   Clark Gable, another A lister Hollywood superstar hunk of the 1920s owned the 2nd Duesenberg roadster. With a splash more blingy paint job. Red with grey.  Id like to think that Duesenbergs were the bling bling cars of their day.  I guess cars were always a center of talk and attention.  I would like to encounter a Duesenberg SSJ one day in person.  I have both the sedan and coupe versions in my diecast collection. 

Reminds me of reading about actor Christian Bale (Batman) who drives a 90s Tacoma around Hollywood.
