Another knob and switch deficit design. Regressive.
Price sounds good, finally. Now please start to offer some station wagons instead of SUVs.
Ioniq 5, EV6, GV60
Compact recreational vehicles AKA “crossovers” are not station wagons, or if in Europe, touring cars.
It’s about the back. It’s big, like rear facing seats big; but the car is low, and less massive for it.
This is the high point of the category. We need to bring that shit back.
Give me the Benz as reissue EV, just do it you cowards!
Baby got back
Too bad they won’t sell them in the US. We desperately need small affordable EVs that rival China’s offerings. I wonder how easy it’d be to block the ID2’s telemetry antennas.
Why’d they stop making the Chevy bolt? A friend got one for pretty cheap but can’t anymore from what I can tell
Because they felt the EV Canyonero…er, Hummer would be more profitable.
There’s no excuse not to sell it in the US.
Trump’s tariff war is a great reason not to sell anything here. Why bother sending all that bulky inventory here if any profit margin they make is taken from them? Increase the price and it is no longer affordable.
Even with a tarriff, a $20k car would still be cheap. There are also no tariffs on goods from the EU (yet) or you could just (god forbid) build them here in the US.
I dunno why they wouldn’t sell them in Canada or Mexico either.
you’d have to get it here, too. no way this administration is gonna let that happen.
It would be better for consumers that Volkswagen & other car companies price their products closer to what it is sold for in China. The ID.3 can be had for USD $9,400 there.
I wonder how much it’d cost to buy a car there and drive it home by ferry to Europe.
are the people who make the cars in Europe willing to take a pay cut and be on par with Chinas pay levels to get those prices down?
Why do people continue to pedal this bigoted propaganda?
Is the minimum wage lower in China compared to the UK? Yes, across the board. But let’s compare Guangzhou to Solihull. Minimum wage lower? Yes. Cost of living lower? Yes. Are you able to afford to live in an apartment and buy groceries based on what you make building cars? Yes.
