I dislike using the product code as the product name. Any letter/number combinations is dumb, except I give Tesla a pass for brevity and humor.

The car looks decent; like a RAV4. I like they've dumped the stupid and dated IS faux grill aesthetic. Following the Tesla minimal grill is the way to go.

What's the deal with yokes? I can see the advantage in a plane, where forcing the grip to a single position gives the pilot a reference to position without looking at it or instruments. In a car, being able to grab in various ways can reduce fatigue. Also, momentarily losing grip one can easily find the wheel since it always occupies the same space. Finally, and everyone will will chastise me for this, but I want the ability to knee drive. I can navigate a corner smoother with my knees than a typical driver does with both hands on the wheel.
