Why Can’t Something Just Look Cool & Be Cheap?
$20,000 Chery V23: A viable mini-Defender or just a sham?

In an age of sleek EV concepts that talk to the wind, the Chery V23 comes out as a stout reminder of bygone times. Retro, simple, boxy, rugged. Almost reminiscent of a certain Land Rover Defender. Only it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Articles like this one frustrate me because they pick at the edges of something. In this one, they're arguing that it's not powerful enough to be an off-road vehicle. Who cares? It looks retro cool, and it's inexpensive; only we'll never have it here in the United States.
