They don’t care because they are used to it.

Of course people aren’t coming in to get it replaced, they’re all dead. Duh.

Hmm… Tough choice, a brand new Saminda, or a lightly-used Storm Adventure or Breeze global platform… Adventure’s a people-carrier, and the Breeze is a small hatchback, but… either of them is competitive, and they’re both a lot older. Or, for those prices, you could pick up a gently-used Storm Surge. After all, we’re global now.

All I can say is this: Our SymTrak issues are history. We fixed our problems, so we’re not “Working on it” for eternity.

Saminda ignition scandal is probably the worst in any automobile history of automation.

A few years is not enough to fix everything.

It’s Automation’s counterpart of Dieselgate…

…except it happened before dieselgate :smiley:

######I know it’s probably inspired by Toyota’s problems from few years earlier, but shhh.

@Starfish94 While I’m no fan of SUV’s (“What’s wrong with an estate?!” - Paul Erin, CEO), this one actually looks good (not just from the outside). How bit is it? Are we talking a competitor to the Range Rover/Audi Q7 or the BMW X3/Audi Q5 etc?

@phale I am intrigued at such a prospect!

That’s something I always missed in Samindas’ specs - their size! One of the most basic things about the car to know. And I’d guess it’s a competitor to, let’s say, Volvo XC Classic at most.

@DeusExMackia @szafirowy01 Since the CR-e is mainly for the China market , looking at our main competitor would be cars like Buick Envision

@Starfish94 Nice. Well looking at that then, it certainly looks like a competitive vehicle. Nice!

Also! Been meaning to ask as it must have passed me by a while back, what does ‘i-VIC’ stand for?

There’s going to be a secondary competitor.

Thanks for that! Awesome idea @Starfish94, are there any real life examples of such technology?

Literally VTEC

Wow, OK I completely missed that then. I thought that was just a type of VVL?

Unless this is VVL?

VTEC too is just VVTL.
