I'm less excited about this one than the last one, but just a little.

lol your kids are going to look back 40 years from now and make fun of all the stupid egg-shaped "crossover" cars that for whatever reason seem to be dominating the market now. don't worry, they'll also make fun of the cartoonishly oversized emotional support trucks that we've been making fun of for the last 10 years

Crossovers are the iPhones of the car world, and it's probably not going to end.

For awhile there we had lots of manufacturers of phones that made all kinds of interesting things. You could get a phone that fit your lifestyle. Then Apple came out with the jewelry brick and now that's all anyone will ever make forever.

Station wagons and minivans both started out as practical, comfortable family transport but quickly became associated with lame boomer dads and moms, SUVs started to be chosen by people who wanted a minivan but didn't want to look like they'd given up, despite the poor economy.

Cue the crossover, a hatchback wearing gym shorts.

I've recently found Unihertz and while I know they aren't a "flagship" phone company, I am liking the variety of phones they offer, although they are still slabs.

There's something about a handset manufacturer I've NEVER heard of that gives me a raging case of the don'ts.
