    And they are still Renault engines.

    It's Nissan - and lately, Mercedes-Benz, too - using Renault engines, not the other way 'round.

    Volkswagen.
    The reason is that they are going to discount Beetle, and introduce whole series of bland, souless electric cars.
    I mean, discounting such a legend, or, at least, its modern version, is a crime.

    A crime would be murdering their employees.

    This is removing a MILF Golf and making stuff people will actually buy.

    Seriously, the Beetle is one of the most pointless cars to exist. It's more expensive and less spacious than a Golf, harder to work on and has less options. It's basically a rolling ad for buying a Golf.

    I didn't mean real crime, I meant that it would be a bad thing. It's metaphor, you know.

    Stuff that are peole going to buy? Pfff... Judging by the 2018 UK January car sales results, for example, there were sold a third electric cars less than in the same period of 2017. People buy electric car, drive it for some time, and later conclude that it isn't right thing for them, and they turn back to normal cars.

    One island does not a world make.

    And the world... well, the EV sales have gone from statistically insignificant in 2010, to about 200k in 2014, then about half a million in 2016, and over 800k last year - and further growth is predicted, as electric cars become more and more viable daily drivers.

    Kill the VW beetle. Please. Its so pointless. The Fiat 500 and the Mini are fine, but the VW needs to go. Should of ended a long time ago, so we dont have nostalgic butthurts going over how a useless car was so great.

    500 and Mini need to go too.

    Shall the Beetle serve as an example, retro is a trick you can pull off only once. Maybe twice, if you botch the first attempt like Mini did...

    They can't even design cars properly anymore. The 2017 Acadia, 2018 Terrain, and 2019 Sierra are prime examples of their epileptic vehicles.

    I think honestly most car companies have gone downhill. Cars just aren’t the way they used to be.

    The modern Blazer is the Tahoe, a decent SUV.

    The new Blazer's old-time counterparts are the midsize/fullsize wagons, and it's quite good in comparison to them.

    You’re forgetting the actual new Blazer, though, which is an Equinox.

    I think regulations are to blame. The creativity that manufacturers are allowed is near zero.

    We are safer for it, but I can’t say our cars are any better.

    The F150 is the most successful. They wouldn’t kill off their cars for no reason. They’re not a suicidal business.

    Empty slogan. Any actual proof?
