Scout Motors on VW’s situation

[Trailguide79]

Yes and it ruined the company when they went on a 100+ day strike.

That was a big part, the other aspect was it not being advertised well to ladies.

While my wife would be fine with a vehicle with no power steering......there are some options that make sense for any vehicle not limited to the farm.......

Biggest being sensible entrance/egress (it would rule out disabled/handicapped, and many ladies/short folks if it doesn't have a "kneel" feature or power running boards) is my only real concern with Scout being successful moving forward. I know anyone can add power running boards, but if the testdrive is akin to getting into a tank......I know I talk about vehicle purchases with my wife.....even if it's my vehicle that she would rarely drive.......it would be a hard sell. Even a Lotus Elise that is very close to the ground, being the PITA it is to get into, mostly rules out everything other than the most fringe enthusiasts. At least at first, Scout will have to have a product that most anyone can enjoy.

That's why they make Miata's for the ladies I'm sure scout could make a storable step stool as an option Happy New Year

It will probably have tucked running boards or something. My guess is tucked because of aero dynamics.

I wonder if the engineers are wondering how their going to put all these unicorns in one vehicle me I'll just trust they want my business and build a great SUV that will be the pinnacle of the EV industry

True. But options are always available on any car when specking it and Women need to be included it’s not the 1700s. Im not going to put running boards on my Scout.

We weren't buying scouts a year ago so imagine in two years from now what options will be available the mind is limitless and with AI and i dont mean Alan Iverson I look forward to seeing the dream come to life. But i have great hope in Scout and American engineering Remember we kicked the Germans and the Japanese asses let's do it again !!
