    Instead of taking an existing design and evolving it with more stuff (character lines, etc.), they took the previous xc90 & xc60 look and distilled it to its essence. I think it fits the idea of an electric vehicle and I really like it, so as far as SUVs go, I wouldn't actually mind seeing this on my parking spot on a daily basis.

      But develop something that they call from ground up, they should have addressed consumer needs & market trends as third row seats are no longer meant for kids alone. More Boot space with 3 rows but cramped 3rd row legroomup is not a desired feature in today's world.
      Personally an electric vehicle makes a viable financial option if owned for atleast 10 years which majority dont do. So if I was on a budget I would have preferred Palisade Calligraphy costing 40% less with more space, luxury & opulence with decent fuel consumption (diesel variant) or with a better budget be buying a Escalade if I was in US. Again thats my opinion & I am not forcing that on you or anyone

      @Scott Natte They went the Tesla route, from 10+ years ago - Slap on 2 cheap screens, design and manufacture a lot less things, use relatively cheap materials, save on costs but charge more than before. It's a great strategy for the company, but bad for the consumer. I wouldn't say this looks nearly as luxurious as higher end Hyundais and Kias, or the new Mazda CX90, let alone Genesis or SUVs from more established luxury brands. Seeing as the battery/range/performance/driving feel will be similar to all other EV SUVs, I'm not seeing a huge selling point for this one, unless it's priced way below other luxury SUVs. But I guess the headlights move for now reason, so take my money!

Who makes the final decision on what is and isn't a cool car to be listed, your team size, how much of your time it takes up vs the video shooting etc. Some cars that have been rejected for not being cool enough would also be interesting.

      If you work at Volvo tell them (a) no space for a spare wheel is a dealbreaker. Why does the front trunk space have to be kidney-shaped, when it could be shaped to let an owner carry a spare wheel if they want to? (b) not everyone wants three rows - do NOT make them non-optional. I want the storage / load-lugging space. (c) utterly typical of today's driver that the only physical button is for twiddling with sound system, and that the one thing I will want to adjust while actually driving - the climate controls - seem to demand I play with menus and touch screens... and there I was, thinking Volvo was safety-minded. Not any more, it seems.

      Not sure if you have driven a modern Volvo. I had a 2018 XC90 top end. As much as I hated the touch only , no button operations, once you set it up, the system was intelligent to realize the driving conditions. For example , be,ow 40F the steering heat, seat heat would come on. Initially high and auto reduce to lowest level. Climate with air ionizer and humidity control was fully automatic like any modern day lux cars. In summer if it was too hot the sunroof shades would close automatically. Automatic Hugh beam control, active bending and cornering lights, heated windshield wipers that did not spray water but flowed through holes in the wiper stalks minimizing splash, fluid wastage etc. the B&W system was simply outstanding. Plus all these settings customized and linked to each key and the driver including infotainment, radio preferences. So whoever had the customized keys, got everything pre done and ready. Surprisingly there was very less to mess around with the touch screen.

Toyota is making the right decision going all-in on hybrids. Refuel anywhere without range anxiety, minimal range loss due to weather, smaller batteries are less expensive to replace. Many parts of the country are simply too remote for EVs. EVs don't work for everyone and every situation but the government is trying to force a one size fits all solution to a problem that's not even a problem.
