The Sixpack is very up my alley.
Obviously it depends on how it drives and if the initial quality reports are as much a trash fire as the EV's been. But it could make a wicked daily.
I'm genuinely shocked this hasn't happened already.

"He only won 'Dega because of rain, he only won Kansas because he was in Kurt's car." ๐ He won today on pure pace and beat Larson in a straight fight.
And the fact that he did this at a Crown Jewel race is just the cherry on top. ๐ค๐พ

I forgot how rad this series was. But, tbh, all of the DC animated stuff from this era were bangers.

It's funny. I had originally BYD grouped with Ora. And, yeah, no clue how you federalize any of the Chinese EVs โ completely ignoring the active hostility from the federal gov't towards these cars.
But I'd definitely love having the Cyberster here.
I have the most faith in the Chinese brands (particularly Ora) in pulling something like that off. I don't think Daihatsu could realistically hack it outside of Japan.
27.06.2025 14:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think the basic concept is sound, but I don't trust any larger conglomerate to not fuck it up.
Like, both GM (I consider Saturn the proto-Scion) and Toyota blew it in the space of a single product cycle.
I was a little surprised - but pleasantly - to see it in the top designs, tbh.
