    I just want a fast dumb awd electric sports hatch. Think WRX but electric.

    No self driving

    No internet connection

    No cameras

    No screens

    Nothing to update

    Analog dials

    Simple twist knobs for air con

    Is that really too hard?

      I think backup cams are required by law for safety, but other than that and a thing to play music and maps, yeah, I’m game.

        I’ll concede a reversing camera and a sound system, but for everything else there’s your phone. Maybe include bluetooth in the car but that’s it tech wise. I feel like I’m already on a slippery slope.

    I’ll believe it when I see it.

    And if I see it, I’ll believe it when meaningful volume is there.

    This just screams marketing shenanigans that ultimately results in them producing like 25/year just to say they did it.

    Part of me thinks Toyota is still stuck in their idea that their hydrogen vehicles will take off (somehow).

      Where are all the sedans and station wagons? Enough SUVs and crossovers already. Well there’s a handful sedans in existence at least.

      And in Europe there’s somewhat decent selection of hatchbacks

    Looks cool, but it would look way better as a two door. Everything is a boring crossover, getting more tired than COD and the MCU in 10 years.
