kinda weird they are choosing this path.
I'd understand a focus hybrids but it must be a lucrative demogrpahic or ...something.
I think it has something to do with the government’s waffling position on EV technology. I don’t recall the details, but it made for uncertainty in the industry. The parent company (VAG) has also struggled with their software. I am fuzzy on the specifics. It is late for me.
Sad to see in any case. I’ve been a fan for a while and am encouraged with the Taycan. These ICE engines are getting so complicated that repairs are not for the faint of heart.
Maybe they are putting in an ICE engine, just for the sound. 😜
