No not me.
All this hybrid stuff is smoke and mirrors and is just added complexity to keep selling petrol / Diesel vehicles. No plans to swap my Jimny until I am forced and or the fully electric technology is more established.
So no more new vehicles for me.
Looking forward if no-one manufacturers an affordable electric vehicle plan B is a E conversion on my 2CV.
It will be faster :laugh:

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

Think it looks better than the Toyota it's based on, but I don't really get SUVs, would rather a standard hatchback or estate.

It looks great and would be perfect for my daily commute however it’s just a little bit too rich at the moment whilst saving for a first home.

It's a crossover which immediately puts it in the rejection pile for me. I currently have the best Suzuki/Toyota amalgamation I could want anyway with Dreadnaught and Leviathan.

For my 6km commute, I would like to see the basic TESLA "Milk Float" tray assembly under the Current Jimny body. There is one being built in Sydney.

Just imagine a "retro electric 2CV" with the same tray as an electric vehicle. ;)
