    Thanks for a video of this unicorn. One annoyance: The video contains minimal footage of the interior. Where it’s shown, it’s just for 1-2 seconds but heavily cropped. I don’t know what the rear seat divider looks like. A few basic pans of panning shots of the dashboard, front seats and second row would have been nice.
