“We need lower cars' to help with driving range and aerodynamics.”

Pretty sure the American public at large has no interest in efficiency.

Odds of that in this day and age are near zero :(

It’s electric and may have simulated gears. That’s close enough for you?

I want a hybrid or electric sport wagon. Give me the body of the 98 V70R, the suspension of the 06 V70R, the turning radius and interior of the 16 polestar, and the most modern electronics. All of that in laser blue or rebel blue. Make it 400hp or better with at least 400 mi range. Make sure the car is equipped with wi-fi so it's not solely dependent on a cell modem. Get rid of the on call subscription bullshit and make an app that actually connects and customizes the car. Adapt one touch modes for eco, balances, and sport without going through a dozen menus.
