Feeln the Afeela?

Absolutely the berkeley not.

Honda ok, electric ok, Sony? Hell no. They can keep their anti customer attitudes and practices far the berkeley away from the automotive world. 

OTA updates to remove features you bought with the car, drastic overnight changes nobody asked for, bizarre proprietary connectors so you can't get around what they deem proper use, knowing they're history they probably won't even sell them just lease them, although as we should all remember from the PS3 lawsuits, Sony doesn't understand the difference between a lease and a sale when it comes to hardware. 

In reply to RevRico :

Agree completely.

The car's silhouette of the back end gives me Porsche vibes, but with a minimalist take. Maybe it's just me?

Hell. No.

I kind of trust Honda, I absolutely do not trust Sony for all the reason RevRico listed. I expect it to require a constant internet connection (that you pay for) along with micro transactions at every turn.

In reply to J.A. Ackley :

i have a taycan gts in driveway. i dont see it ... 

Also, the name's terrible. Were Merkur and Probe already taken?

Tatra vibes?

No. As noted above, it is entirely down to Sony.

The pic looks good. I am not interested in learning anything else about a car infected with that corporate culture.

"I see you've pressed the brake pedal with high force. Would you like to buy a Brake Boost™️ loot box for a 12.5% chance at stopping before impact? Only 0.1 Sony Bux™️ per loot box on sale today!"

The silhouette to me looks verrrryyy similar to the Lucid. Which is also very similar to the Mercedes EQS. And the EQE. And even the Taycan and Tesla's. 

I think I like this one least. I'm not the market for it anyway, but I tend to avoid Sony for reasons already described as well as my own personal annoyances with the company. 

In reply to mtn :

Perosnally I think the Afeela rear looks 10x better than my wife's Taycan GTS. 

I would buy the Afeela, if it was fast. But it won't be, sadly.
