You would have to go to a dealer a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

It is a little odd. Not just modern, but weird. Maybe it is the arm rest? I don’t know. The exterior is good. It reminds me of a VW Golf front with a Tiguan/Honda EV profile. Overall, I wouldn’t mind it.

I think it has to do with the sliding center console. It leaves so much wasted space. Plus, I don't see the point. I'm not going to slide it back for the passengers behind me, I'm likely using it.

Just as well, if its a GM product, the targeting computer would probably go out just as I was ready to make a critical shot, and I don't have the Force as a backup...

As an aside, I watched this "announcement/commercial" on our 4K 77" TV at home. It's amazing how well they can integrate CGI into real life. Except for the fact the pilot never turns his head, it absolutely looks like the x-wing is flying alongside the car.

Which is a shame. Watched a quick video of it on Fully Charged and they said that the Koreans are the only ones currently up there with Tesla on Battery/Range.

I think the floating centre consoles will be something we get used to, it's not the 1st car to do it, as without the trans tunnel that comes with the adapted ICE cars what's the point in taking up the space unnecessarily.

As I mentioned above, I don't see the advantage of it "floating" when they could just as easily provide a console for the back passengers providing more utility all around. Empty space between the seats in a car interior provides no real advantage, it's just empty space. It should be put to use.

Now that I think about it, it's probably the reason I don't like the "modern/Tesla Dash" look. It's empty space that something should be done with besides making it look like an unused shelf in a closet.

If GM made the X-Wing i'd leave it there at the dealership, in the galaxy that's far far away.

My experience with GM products says the engines won't let you down, but the interior blinky lights and doodads may fail along the way and you'll have to slap the dash on occasion and R2D2 might rust a little bit.

I'll admit the interior is better when looked at from the driver's seat, and it does have some actual controls outside the video screens.

The wife likes the look. Going to try a Polestar 2, but this looks equally good and Hyundai range is good, so could well be one of those that replaces the family wagon.

That's getting to the acceptable range for me.

In other news, Morgan Stanley reports the Mach E is siphoning substantial sales from Tesla. Not surprised, it really is a nice EV.
