Cars with punctuation marks in them are always good. $27k seems like a lot but I guess not if it is loaded up and it is probably quicker than most small crossovers with that turbo. This is also the successor to Pontiac Excitement!

Ads don’t bother me I can just scroll past them. If adding coupons helps make the site money I say do it. What ever makes the site money I am fine with, as I frequent this automotive site more than any other.

Almost anyone would buy Jeep. Ram trucks would only appeal to someone like Hyundai or maybe Nissan that wants more American market truck sales, probably more so Nissan because they can co-develop the pickups and work vans and sell them all as Ram brand. Alfa Romeo could have value to Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, Honda, really anyone that needs a luxury brand. I don't think Maserati, Dodge, and Chrysler have any value to anyone.

2 products to compete with the GLA? Seems unnecessary, and the GLA has that same stupid squashed down roof, which is the worst styling element of the GLA, if they raised the roof 2 inches it would make the car look so much better.

I am no FCA fan, but to answer the question, the Jeep Renegade has sold well and sells globally, and the Alfa Romeo Guilia can beat the CTS-V around the Nurburgring, so they did make one tremendous performance sedan, although it doesn't sell. The only value in FCA is in splitting it to pieces, because half the pieces in the pie are worthless.

Front wheel drive sucks for anything over 250 or so horsepower because you get torque steer and they pull. As weight goes up the fwd penalty gets worse too because you get that heavy front end with lackluster steering response and tendency to understeer. On a 3,000 lb compact car with 185 hp, fwd vs rwd won't matter much. On a 400 hp, 4,000 lb car it is night and day.

I don't get why this car exists, it is shorter and lower than an X1, but it is supposed to be higher in the line? It basically looks like a tall VW Golf or an X1 with a squashed down roof, seems pointless.

BMW has had that shifter since like 2008.

Polestar 1 has smaller exterior dimensions than the AMG GT, which is the smallest car Mercedes makes. Polestar 1 is 5 inches shorter than a Mercedes SL. I wouldn't say that interior room is going to be high on the pro's list for this car. As I said in this thread and the other, I really like the looks of the Polestar, I would sort of prefer all EV, since Volvo already has a plug-in hybrid, this is like an XC90 powertrain with the boost turned up. It is also a cut down Volvo S90 chassis with an S90 interior. So even though I like the car, $153,000 is not worth it for an S90 coupe plug in hybrid.

They should sell them. But at the same time, EV only I think would be better. I like this car, but the price is going to be the problem. Why would you buy this over an AMG GT, or a 911 Turbo or Aston Martin Vantage, Audi R8, S-class coupe, etc. Because this Polestar is still burning gas like they are. The Polestar has a lot of power, but I suspect much like a Tesla it is only good in a straight line, and doesn't have the handling and suspension of those other cars I mentioned. And I like the Volvo S90 interior, it is nice at the S90's price point, but not at $153,000.

Doesn't look as good as a Mercedes, not as much horsepower as a Mercedes, not as good an interior as a Mercedes. Not surprised.

This is where that 365 hp turbo 4 rumored for the Wrangler ended up.

They have to build and EV and this is the Phantom is the most logical vehicle in the world to be an EV. Their #1 priority is quiet operation with huge torque, electric does that. The car is huge with lots of space for batteries and they don't care about weight. And lastly the new Phantom LWB is $530,000 before options, their buyers don't care about price either.
