Almost put down a deposit last night, but I didn’t want to be #200k in line.
I don’t want a fake grill in front, but I would like… something… there. The surfacing suggests a grill, which makes it looks like it’s missing. And it’s going to look pants with a front license plate.
The interior is really interesting. It’s a huge departure from the long-standing trend of cocooning the driver in controls and information, which makes sense given the coming autonomous driving focus. Then again, in performance terms it’s clearly meant to be a driver’s car, so the two priorities seem to be conflicting.
There are some shots online of the trunk opening, it’s a tiny little door like the old VW Cabrio. The huge glass panel is cool, but not if it comes at the cost of a usable hatchback.
Overall, I like it. Makes the new Prius look silly and pointless. Or compare it to the Bolt, which looks like a car you would try to talk your way out of at the Avis counter.
