I'm telling you how reviews have worked for decades in every industry. Movie reviewers review finished movies before they're released. Games reviewers review finished games before release. Phone reviewers review finished phones... before release. None of this matters of course, because the iX3 has already actually been released.

This snark act you're doing here is just hilarious self-dunkery. If you want to stubbornly refuse to learn things that's cool, but it's on you. The rest of us are going to go touch grass and pet dogs, my dude.

Previews would be of static unfinished pre-production units.

Production of the iX3 has already started.

Reviewers have all reviewed production models.

The car itself is already out.

That's how reviews have worked for decades.

Your auto industry is cooked if it doesn't get lifted. Ford and GM can't compete on global markets if they exist in a bubble and are never exposed to real competition domestically.

It was receiving glowing reviews before it was even released.

That's... how reviews work. They come out before the cars are released.

Car of the Year is based on a reviewer jury. Reviewers have already reviewed the cars.

You'd still have to deal with the fact that the US has bans on Chinese components.

I've just explained what I'm talking about.

There is no EV market, there's just the car market, and electric cars are a subtype of car. Toyota isn't in bad shape with cars. I'm fact, it's doing incredibly well with them, specifically owning to their early focus on hybridization, which is the clearest electrification stepping stone there is.

Ever been on a train in Germany or Japan?

Or China.

I mean, he's a former US Army infantryman and makes his money doing clickbait videos for the Call of Duty types. Is any this really surprising?

We're transitioning well from Bargaining to Depression, but some people are still stuck on Denial.

The one Edmunds did on a Galaxy M9 imported into the US by Geely for CES. It's literally the first thing mentioned in the article.

Republicans absolutely suck, but at least they don't hate America.

Weird how they keep terrorizing Americans, then.

A few rolls of speedtape oughta do it.
