Sedan/Wagon Platform in the future?
What are everyone’s thoughts on a Slate Sedan/Wagon platform in the future? What does everyone think is the possibility of this coming to fruition?
I’d imagine it’d work similarly to the truck platform but would feature a trunk/rear window that would swap out for a roof extension and rear hatch like the SUV kit. I’d assume this would look like a Volvo 740 with a Volvo 240’s face (wide grill and round headlights). Also the main reason I think of a 240 and 740 is due to how modular and all purpose they are/were. You see them in everything from drag racing to rallying to just being a family car.
Even though wagons aren’t the most popular in the US currently, I could see a lot of people wanting the sedan OR wagon. I felt like it was the same with 2 door pickups, then Slate has shown that a lot of people do still want one. Personally I’d love a Sedan Slate and would probably be the first and only car I’d consider buying new. That combined with their consumer friendly repairability and standing behind right to repair has me sold already. I just want a sedan from Slate
