We'll be getting dusted by trucks. Maybe this means a hybrid setup or perhaps fully electric with Europe's harsher restrictions. With that being said, who cares about the grille, we've gotta enjoy this rumble while it lasts. The end is nigh for ICE and exhaust upgrades 🥺
I think that's a very safe bet, and the fact that it's being offered with a manual is the cherry on top. I would have never thought it was going to end this soon but that's just reality.
