“Whether or not they ever be put into place, the damage is done,” said Greig Mordue, a former auto industry executive and associate professor at the W. Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology at McMaster University.
He says Trump’s threats have already changed the landscape. Whether he goes ahead with the tariffs or not, or whether he carves out specific exemptions, the threat alone will drive investment out of Canada and into the U.S.

I agree. I personally can’t stand all of the futuristic designs, they all look like giant metal blobs that barely resemble a car. Too much emphasis on ugly headlights and taillights as well. I would LOVE an EV that just looks like a regular sedan. I doubt most of these “futuristic” designs will age very well.
I’m less offended by the overall designs than the pointless gimmicks. Pet peeve is those flat door handles. What’s wrong with boring old regular handles?
So many EV’s are designed as luxury vehicles mostly. We need more Chevy Bolt and less Tesla.
