    Polestar 4 Makes its North American Debut

      Polestar 4 makes its North American Debut and we finally get pricing.

    First seen at the Shanghai Auto Show (see article: Polestar 4 - The New Breed of Electric SUV Coupe), Polestar brought the Polestar 4 to the New York International Auto Show for North Americans to see in person.

    Polestar calls the Polestar 4 an "electric SUV 4-door coupe". Outside of that marketing speak, the Polestar 4 is a slightly lifted four-door hatchback about 190 inches in length, or roughly 2 inches shorter than a Toyota Camry.  Built without rear glass, the Polestar 4 makes use of a rear camera for visibility astern.

    Polestar 4 features a plethora of standard content, including 20-inch 5 V-spoke black diamond cut alloy wheels, panoramic glass roof, adaptive cruise control, 360 parking camera with 3D view, energy saving heat pump, front-illuminated Polestar logo, e-latch doors, power-operated tailgate with soft close, Polestar digital key, wireless phone charging, and 8-way electrical driver seat and 6-way electrical passenger seat.

    The fastest production car the brand has ever developed to date, Polestar 4 can accomplish a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds and in top spec can produce 544 horsepower. Long-range single-motor variants have 272 horsepower and a targeted EPA range of over 300 miles. All long range variants have a 102 kWh battery capable of 200 kW charging on a DC Fast Charger and 11 kW on home level-2 charging.

    Google built-in is ... built in and includes Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play. Polestar continues to offer a leading connected in-car experience. As with all other Polestar cars, regular over-the-air updates allow for new features and improvements to be sent remotely to all vehicles.

    Pricing starts at $54,900, with orders opening in April for deliveries in the latter half of this year.

    So three major problems with this car, one, terrible Jellybean external shape, not impressed at all with the style.

    Second is the buttonless dash having everything via a touch screen and rotary knob, terrible safety issue as your eyes will be off the road more than on trying to find the right option in the right menu.

    Third is the center pack clearly cuts into valuable leg space based on their own picture.

    This is a hard pass.

    I like how it looks, I love how my PS2 looks. But I think it's because I like Volvo styling more that just Polestar styling. I also like the looks of the PS3 better too. And yeah the rear windo situation is a bit odd, and idk how I feel about it.

    Another problem is no rear window, in addition to the styling and everything on a touch screen.

    Polestar keeps putting out new models but none of these actually sell.  Maybe they should build 1 car that people want to buy, rather than Polstar 1-7 that combine to sell like 1,000 cars a year.

      BMW News: Revealed! 2016 BMW M2 Shows What A Buffed-Up 2-Series Can Become

      By JamQwert12 · Posted

      The M2 was such a great move by BMW. Small, powerful, and actually fun to drive — kind of brought back that classic “driver’s car” feeling. The fact that it came with a manual too made it even better. Honestly, one of the best modern M cars for pure driving experience. Funny how cars like this always make you think about leveling up in life 😄 some people actually start chasing better opportunities and income to get there. For example, projects and companies like PUNIN GROUP open up different paths for growth, which can eventually make goals like owning a car like this more realistic.

      2027 Rivian R2: Price, Specs, Range & Trims | Performance, Premium, Standard

      By JamQwert12 · Posted

      Rivian already makes nice-looking cars, so if this one keeps the design and has decent range, a lot of people will consider it. But yeah, depends if they actually deliver what they promise

      Lots were riding it yesterday for the baseball game and to be on it crossing the lake. Many coworkers have told me they will now take the light rail to the international station, get off like I do from Lynnwood on the 1 Line and walk the 3 blocks to work.

      Based on what I last read, today is the first day of operation for Sound Transit's new light rail line connecting Seattle to the East Side, meaning Bellevue and Redmond, home of Microsoft. It's going to cross on the I-90 floating bridge across Lake Washington.  I'll eventually get to the area and take a ride on it.  Something like this was a long time coming and needed.  When I lived on the East Side and would go out of town via the airport, I would to take the miserable 340 (?) bus connecting Bellevue to SEA Airport.  It was a milk train and would go through Renton, which I had nicknamed "rent to own." I lived diagonally across the metro area from the airport. I'm glad that Line 2 is finally here.

      Honda News: Honda Prologue Is Likely to End Production This Year

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      I am also thinking that maybe not everything shows up as they look at the region your in and what offers are there. PNW with hitting 30% of new car sales are EVs I think has a much higher support for EV sales and discounts.
