My friend in the exotic automotive space just sent me this regarding the Ferrari Luce and Mercedes GT:

“I was chatting with some Mercedes people at their event last week and journalists about why manufacturers keep dropping these electric cars that nobody asked for — and it actually makes a lot of sense once you hear it.

The EU has this rule where every car brand’s ENTIRE lineup has to average below a certain emissions number. Not per car — the whole fleet. And if they miss it, they get fined like €95 for every single gram they’re over, multiplied by every car they sold that year. We’re talking hundreds of millions.

So every EV they sell pulls that average down. Which means they can keep making the V8s and AMGs and ICE cars we actually love without getting destroyed by regulators.

So that MB electric GT 4-Door and the Ferrari Luce? Those aren’t passion projects. That’s compliance math. The irony is those EVs you hate might literally be the reason your favorite ICE cars still exist.

Mind-bending but that’s the game right now.”

VW is (finally) onto something 👀

@carwowuk If it's a sunroof then why not?

But suddenly it's ok to get cars with pano roofs that x have sunshades and you have to get one separately, which is even more manual than this.

@akmalnasir @EkonomiMalaysia Do know that modern passenger vehicles needs to be tested to take in such mixtures. Most can only comply with B7.

Coachbuilt - more exclusive than Rolls-Royce Bespoke. Only four units exist in the world and Malaysia's King is one of the owners. #rollsroyce #coachbuild

@luciusmaximus Are you forgetting Geely has invested a lot in the Tanjung Malim factory, with the Horse powertrains and Punch being built there? Why do there need to build a factory here when there is one that they could already utilise?

The 4th commissioned @rollsroycecars Droptail spotted in Malaysia, presumably owned by the Johor royals.

What were @protoncar was thinking during the product planning stage.

D-seg cars are nt the volume sellers for several years & if removing a critical feature means bringing big bucks
, then the whole team should be sacked.

[Paul Tan's Automotive News @paultan]

The Proton X90 originally got five stars from ASEAN NCAP but the lack of ADAS on the MC model resulted in a downgrade to just a one-star rating.

The comments are hilarious on calling down the car and the brand.

I still thinks it’s a smart move Volvo did with this, cause if this is Volvo-badged snobs will call down to it. Too bad this is not sold in SEAsia.

[Motor1 @Motor1com]

I appreciate how Polestar casually dropped one of the best looking cars of the 21st century as their first model. Triple platinum on the debut album.

@spigen Naughty for sure

While the spec is an improvement over the pre-facelift, it’s still astounding that they can’t put in the full ADAS system when Honda managed to have them all as standard even in the base HRV.

@carwowuk Looks good so far but must they remove the door handles and give that stubby little thing instead?
