SUV... why? Stop making more gargantuan death machines, EVs are heavy enough as they are. The original Ioniq was brilliant

Crossover SUVs are not the gargantuan death machines you're thinking of. They're a bit bigger than sedans, and smaller than traditional SUVs.
There are plenty of sedan options already available, however there is a need for electric vehicles with more cargo space.
You mean the ICONIC 5? That's an SUV. A small one
No, the original Ioniq, not the ioniq 5 electric suv.
Yeah, what I really want is a little electric late 80's/early 90's sports car. With modern safety features. I don't care if it doesn't have insane range, I drive less than 5000 km a year. I miss the look of that era of sports cars. It doesn't -need- to have pop-up headlights, but think of how much more responsive and useful they could be now.
My current car is a mark 3 supra, even if I could convert it to electric, the safety features are also pretty outdated.
There is the MG cyberster.
That's more late 90's sports car. But it is at least closer, hehe.
Happy cake day!
Off topic, but will this model have the wavy windshields?
that'd be cool but the funniest answer would be if they also had been testing a secret reusable rocket
I wish they'd do the Santa Cruz instead.
