Almost every new and announced EV crossover looks like an I-Pace.

The "platforms" now are more like a set of Lego blocks that can be built to any size or shape using a common set of components but not restricted to one configuration. Both the Subaru and Toyota marking crowds made a big deal about how their new platforms were designed from the very start to accommodate EV, Hybrid and ICE set ups with little to no changes required.

I'm just waiting for someone to build a compact, fun-to-drive coupe like the twins on an EV platform.
I may end up walking the rest of my life... well, I have the BRZ for now of course but it won't last forever.

i'm starting to remember why i hold on to vehicles well past their sell-by date, usually at increased maintenance costs, and stress from having to find time to work on them...

Saw this add watching the news this morning. It made me home sick. The gal on the motorcycle is in the Santa Cruz hills, and at the end pulls into Apple Jacks bar in La Honda. I miss those hills.
