    I love how the hatchback looks. The sedan is very "meh", to me. 147hp/132lb-ft sounds super weak so it better be hitting some pretty big mpg numbers mated to a CVT.

      Interesting day, this 25th of April! It's a holiday in Italy, as in Festa della Liberazione - that means they liberated themselves from Mussolini ... either in 1945 or 1946 Then, I thought a little bit more and something else popped into my head:  it might also be a holiday in Portugal ... this is the day that they got rid of dictator Antonio Salazar ... in 1974.  It's almost impossible to forget that if you've been there because they renamed their large harbor suspension bridge from Ponte Salazar to Ponte 25 de Abril. A high functioning democracy is a beautiful thing. Cheers everyone!

Hyundai Motor Reaffirms China Commitment at Auto China 2026, Unveils IONIQ V as First Step in New Product Offensive 20 new models in 5 years for China At least some auto company is willing to step up and compete against China, not the Americans.
