Oh yay. More SUVs.
-
There are a dozen or more cars out there, crossovers and SUVs are what marketing tells them to make. That and dodging fuel efficiency requirements. Take a look at Fords entire lineup, EV and gas. The only car is the Mustang.

Ok, the R3 looks pretty rad. I’ll bet money that they’re targeting $39k. If they can manufacture in the US and go even lower, that would be impressive.
-
I want a bloody car. I hate that SUVs are the norm now.

Tesla S, Tesla 3, Fiat 500e (kind of), polestar, lucid air, Bolt, focus ev (didn’t make many), ionic, Taycan (if you’re rich), etron gt, bmw i7, genesis g80, EQS.
I probably missed a few, and possibly a couple of these are hybrids, my memory isn’t perfect. The point is there are plenty out there, and some are very affordable on the used market.

I don't get the hate for SUV's but I love them. Just put a deposit down on a Polestar 3.
-
- they’re heavier, which negatively impacts efficiency in many respects
- they’re physically larger and tend to be boxy, both of which induce substantially more aerodynamic drag, and had serious implications on pedestrian safety as well
- all else being equal, they have a higher center of gravity, which impacts stability and driving dynamics when compared to cars
