Jeffrey Kyle JACKSON, 27 Sep 2023It's a cute car. Hope, they will produce 1000HP GTI version with All Wheel Drive with Liq... moreWho would pick this car up when the refresh doesn't include the AP550 motor and the new 4.x software? It would still have the issues of the older ID.3. And the price is out of this world, costs as much as a premium car.

German automobiles have no future. Boring designs. Outdated tech. Inflated prices. Living on past glory and brand name. We had 2 guys in my area buy 2 new cars, one Volkswagen and other Kia. Kia is priced less but feels much better in all aspects. Design, build quality, fit and finish etc. Same if we compare other brands to German brands. German auto industry is now like Detroit. Sick and soon dead.
