Mercedes bringing an EV "minivan" to North America - I say "minivan" cause it's likely going to be 215" long (10" longer than most minivans). It's probably narrower than North American vans though since it needs to work in Europe and Asia.

Hate that new EV grille though but I love minivans.



I was thinking that it'd be neat if Acura would offer a minivan - minivan sales are up the last few years and no one offers a premium or luxury van and it'd be easy for Acura to build a van based off the Odyssey. Easy 20k units a year.

Perfect for Hobz once he gets used to living with EVs.

The grille seems obnoxious given how large it looks compared to the rest of the design. But then again, how would others know you bought a Mercedes-Benz without it?

Just buy an aphard, I still dunno how good German vans are, the buzz, was mid, we never got those weird transporters here or v class, R class was ok but obviously they didn't do good enough for mercedes to keep making them.

And the first Chinese brand to come to Canada is.......... Lotus. Who would have guessed that.

Cons are upset as usual because cars start at 110k.

Fuck if you went back in time to me 20+ years ago and told me Lotus would eventually be a Chinese brand now selling EV’s I would have just ended myself then.

Wait another 10yrs. Most German car brands would be Chinese one way or the other. Mark my words. Heck, Benz Major shareholder is a Chinese company iirc.

Yeah, Lotus is all but dead. Maybe with the EU backtracking on EV's they will get another model out... but who knows.

The lotus SUV looks pretty nice, and for $110 it doesn't sound too bad for an exotic brand. Apparently the emira with the AMG motor is pretty good now

I think i5 looks better, more normal 5 series looking. I7 definitely has grown on me more than the EQS, especially with the drop down monitor. Not sure about the reliability doe.

The key thing is it’s a LOT bigger than the ID buzz.

The EQV was a reliability disaster so we’ll have to see if EU taxi drivers buy the VQE or something else for their next car.
