It doesn't. I can explain why, but I have a hunch you already know why.

It doesn't look like a Corvette which is why I like it. Those are generally some of the most hideous sports cars on the road.

She's looking at BMW, Audi or Volvo. I really like the Volvo. Car Show this weekend!

Key is finding something I can ride in comfortably. I don't ride shotgun much but I've been really disappointed by how little legroom her CX-9 has.

You can find a few stretch Town Cars on craigslist for pretty reasonable prices.

She wants a nice luxury mid size SUV for around 45k. She likes the CX-9 but between the battery issue and the fact it's really fucking long, she's ready for something new and she wants to kinda treat herself.

GM changed the Impala to FWD
Dodge made the Charger a sedan
GM can also make the Vette a mid-engine.

Plenty of examples of cars changing fundamental characteristics and keeping the same badging.

Has this been argued?
or is this a preemptive deal?
