Comeback or farewell?
Bro please do an African version
Tesla Model 2 is the best and most sensible electric car.
The possible return of smaller cars is just a need in the market. While you may have a better profit margin out of a bigger, more techie focused car, on the other hand, those smaller cars do give volume profits to the automakers. Good to notice that some of the cars you presented here are just the last restyling schemes for existing cars that perhaps will to disappear once the current restyling cycle is finish. Those are at least the cases for the Peugeot 208 and the Renault Clio. On the other hand you could have shown 2 new platforms that will start to be sold next year for the foreseeable future: The Citroen E-C3 and the new Renault 5 EV!
Hatches are coming back! I will take that Lexus, please!
