A couple off the top of my head that are missing are the Audi A5 Sportback and A7 (I guess only the RS7 is still around in the US). Doesn't BMW also have a four-door version of the 4 Series? Or has that gone away? The Corolla/hatchback/GR Corolla and Prius are still around. Oh yeah, and the Crown. Although the Crown is kind of a weird class, almost of its own. Merc has the CLA still. BMS has a 4-door 2 Series. I assume this list was just ICE sedans..? If you expanded to BEVs, the list gets much larger. -

By the time you are ready to retire your truck, you might just have a compact / mid-size EV Truck to replace it. That is of course we wake up and remove Idiot47, Kia/Hyundai move forward with their electric trucks that are in test mule format now and Ford / GM / Toyota Deliver as all have said they are working on compact / mid-size EV Trucks.- 1

Mercedez Benz News 2027 Mercedes-Benz VLE MPV: Electric Luxury Minivan With 434-Mile Range
I honestly wish Kia would make their Minivan AWD as it has a more SUV look, but all the benefits of what Minivans give inside for room and comfort.- 800v

I completely agree with you on the West coast being much more EV friendly and people are adapting much quicker out there. I just don't think there will be many people looking for 80-100k vans. I get it, they are crazy spacious, but people are just stubborn on the van-shape. Outside of the price, which is supposedly pretty nuts, IMO, it SHOULD do well. I just don't think it really will. It's kind of like most station wagons. A ton of people love their utility but very few actually follow through with their higher-than-a-comparable-SUV/sedan price.- 1

All valid points you make and I get it, in my regards, I can see it taking off retail from a West Coast standpoint as it hits some very important points. EV - West coast is at a tipping point for hitting more EVs than ICE currently 1:3 ratio, or 30% new autos are EV sold. AWD 434 Miles of range Space I see LOTS of Toyota AWD and older GM AWD Vans at the pass for skiing / snowboarding. One cannot ignore the space these auto's have that families love when doing sports. Being a Mercedes, this will hit the right note for the Tech Industry that wants luxury plus EV with range to spare.- 800v
