Spying: Hyundai Ioniq, Now With No Camouflage

Horsepower means next to nothing nothing in EV. It’s a meaningless metric. Show me torque at zero rpm.

But that’s what I’m saying. The Envision is much nicer than the Chevy inside, and for the price nicer than the BMW too. The Enclave could be powered better, but the interior is appropriately luxury car level. The only one I’d question is the Encore GX but it sells really well, so it’s gotta be making them a profit pre-tariffs. GMC is much closer to Chevy 

It is an interesting idea to have this low cost vehicle that people can customize now they want.  I suspect though that as much as people say they want a small truck or want a basic car with manual windows, etc they won't actually buy it.  It's like people saying they want a manual transmission station wagon, but no one actually buys it.

The Envision is still wrong wheel drive for the BMW true believers, and wrong badge for the snobs.   Solution to the Terrain/Envision issue is just make the Terrain interior better and make the 2.0T an option.   I think a general problem is GMC or Buick is they aren't really much nicer than a Chevrolet, they are basically Chevy overlap, but GM must feel there is enough market out there for people that want a 10% nicer Chevy and won't otherwise buy a Chevy if GMC and Buick weren't around.  And they can't buy out the dealer network because it would cost too much.

Agree, but I think the timetable of that downfall will be highly variable. BYD is probably the biggest competition.
