- Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
- Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
- Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.

I do think the Dino by FCA is a great idea by Sergio. If one remembers Sergio increased the output of Ferraris from around 6 000 per annum to 10 000. A cheaper Dino, to take on the prestige car manufacturers like, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, even Corvette would be profitable. This might just be the beginning of the truly exotic and luxury end of the market moving down. The non luxury and exotic car makers like I mentioned above have moved down market.
Is the M3 Touring rumor actually making the rounds or is this typical fanboi fiction? The closest that BMW ever came was the one off E46 M3T that lives in their basement.
