Another example of what can be done with MQB: a targa top clone of the Juke using the 2.0T engine and Halex AWD.

If VW built this, they'd price it at some ridiculous figure, $35k or something, as they tend to do with anything "convertible" that they bring to market. Then it would flop.

WTF is "T-ROC" supposed to mean -- "Turbo-Race of Champions"?!?

Redapple2 My mailman had one of those jeepy things until 6 months ago. Went to a MB Metris.The new one in this article? Why is that windshield so f ing big?
MaintenanceCosts Our entire local USPS fleet appears to be ProMasters. We’ll probably be last to get these things.
Queen i realize I have to apologize to Matt Posky here…I started skimming the last few paragraphs because his writing is absolutely insufferable…I did read enough to see that this is a “technology licensing agreement”, and that the cells themselves are being provided by the Japanese company, not CATL. Posky’s innuendo makes it sound as though they may as well be peeling Chinese labels off the cells in favor of Japanese ones….but that’s not what a licensing agreement means.can someone who tolerates Posky’s writing better than me please clarify? Much appreciated!
ToolGuy One of those new federally-funded chargers is down the road from me and features 100% fusion energy and there were two of the new mail trucks charging there today along with two Cybertrucks (and an ICE VW with 400,000 miles on the odometer). Also a unicorn and two dragons talking with a leprechaun.
Michael S6 Hopefully the humongous windshield does not convergence the sunlight on the sitting duck driver.
