THESE 9 NEW CARS COULD BE WAY COOLER

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro's latest video critiques nine new cars that, despite potential, fall short of their expected coolness. The review highlights significant disappointments like the BMW XM for its poor execution and high price, and the Chevy Blazer for its failure to capture the off-road SUV market with its front-wheel-drive crossover design. DeMuro also criticizes the new Dodge Charger's electric-first approach and the Honda Prelude's overpriced and underpowered hybrid offering. While acknowledging the appeal of some models like the Lamborghini Urus and Subaru WRX, he argues they could be enhanced with off-road variants or more practical body styles. The Toyota Land Cruiser is called out for trading on its name rather than delivering true capability, and the VW ID. Buzz is deemed too expensive and only offered in a long-wheelbase version for the US market. Overall, the video points to a recurring theme of automakers playing it too safe, overthinking product strategy, or failing to commit the necessary resources to truly excel in popular market segments.
