    That is a lovely car Bryce for sure. If the photographer is using a phone, he has it set wrong on a few pics which makes the car look odd, even sitting up at the front, and leaning as well, some other pics show it as ok.

    As we have been discussing batteries in cars in the “no way” thread, Here is an interesting video on our BEV Volvo FH Electric. Interesting it has a 450kW/h battery, and the BYD has a 60kW/h Big trucks with big loads = big batteries. In Australia we are now actively lobbying the Government to...

    [JT] Rover OHC Engines

    With all of the good intentions, nearly none of these huge amalgamations done to form conglomerates or monopolies rarely ever work. The same thing happened to all of the amazing shipping lines of the North Atlantic in 1902 to form IMM or the International Mercantile Marine. Huge injections of...

    Another great write up with very interesting content covering something I know nothing about. Reading these it seems a real nightmare keeping up with the opposition and trying to do it on a budget. Imagine coming up with something new and exciting, just to see someone else comes out with...

    I know right !!!! 😱 It seems along with the demise of the grille went all the other normal things associated with normal cars, like the normal interiors etc. However we do need to keep up us old blokes. It seems that along with electric technology comes a whole new design philosophy???

    Well said Brian, I have passed your details on to our VP of marketing 😊 However, if Polestar are getting bad reviews and have quality issues, this isn’t good considering they came out with all guns blazing and boasting the “Polestar” name which was Volvo’s very high rated road and race cars...

    “Buying” market share is one thing, but this can’t be done without some degree of quality, and dealer/service back up.

    Sean, I think the “cheap” & “poor quality” discussion would be different depending on who you talk to. Not to mention cheap, and poor quality are not necessarily the same thing. As mentioned, two of my nieces have MG’s on my recommendation. They are certainly cheap (not so much any more...
