I think someone took apart a new car at LA for the clicks

Sure, but like me, you're old, and neither of us has any idea what the kids are doing these days

1) This came up in conversations when I was interviewing with them (the pay was shit for a terrible role)

2) I'm sure, but it also says something about whomever created it that this is his idea of what "cool" looks like

Homage is also only used as a pejorative when it comes to Chinese brands. When a mainstream brand like Christopher Ward or Citizen references a Blancpain or Submariner, reviewers say "inspired by," if they mention it at all.

If a brand like Sugess puts its name on it, it's a homage, and knowing that brand, probably a decent one. The other part is that a realistic fake Daytona that says Rolex on the dial will cost more than that Sugess, but I'd rather have the homage.

I mean, sure Lucid's engineering is impressive. But everyone is talking about how we need EVs coming in well-equipped at the $35K mark, and last I checked, Lucid starts at $80K, so perhaps there's a correlation here.

Not at all. Funny enough, I have the previous generation Ranger, and even though it's considered big, it fits perfectly on my 6.25" wrist (it's also only lost 15 seconds since I set it at the beginning of August)

My argument remains the same: dealers + company-owned stores should exist side-by-side.

But also, lol to anyone who actually pays this price, or even a single cent over MSRP for this car.

I can't believe this thing was free

Limited data I've seen also suggests it'll be less reliable.

Shame Stellantis doesn't actually have a good V8 in its portfolio, then.

It's previewing the next-generation G90 sedan, if nothing else. There's not a single thing shared with the current G90, but the front clip is common to the coupe and convertible concepts they've already shown.
