Today I learned (in reference to the DOOB video above) that due to the pandemic the parent company has permanently shut down their US operations, which is unfortunate.

We certainly hope to someday re-enter the American market but there is currently no set timeline.

I was blown away when I learned that Koenigsegg 3D printed their variable turbos.

My friend also sent me another ad for a Toyota Corolla XSE sedan (also in FL) for $29,694. Doesn't have any of the limited edition stuff, so pretty sure it's just a regular XSE.
