- Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
- Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
- ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
- Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
