This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

As a company sure, I dread to see the day hatchbacks and sedans die in favor of huge ugly SUVs though.

Like the only hot SUV that doesn't piss me off is ford puma st, because it's not much bigger than what it's based on, and things like Countryman JCW, X2, GLA AMG, smaller stuff basically

edit: thankfully we still get more ILXs and TLXs imported than their SUVs, I think they're neat

Oh what market are you in? I don’t think they call it Ford Puma in the US. Is that a Ford Escape?

There are plenty of hatchback crossovers that are barely SUVs: Crosstrek, Venue, Ioniq 5.

Europe, Puma is their Fiesta-based SUV, and the ST is using the exact same engine as the FiST. Ford Escape is one size up I think
