I agree the changes are enough that I will wait. Any educated guesses on MSRP yet?I'm glad I waited to see Highland details. I thought 5K off a new '23 M3P would motivated me to go with the outgoing model, but the changes are quite significant and the '24 looks gorgeous.
Your comment of pushing down the German brands on the totem pole is going to be wrong when they finally arrive. We already known that the Taycan is widely considered the superior premium EV 4-door sedan over the S and the EQS over the X. When the Boxster EV and Macan EV arrives in 2025 the 3/Y is going to face pressure like it's never known before and likely loose their crown, at least the Y. What will keep the 3/Y the best seller is price, we all know Merc & Porsche are going to put outrageous price tags on their cars.
When Mercedes actually allows owners to open the hood, i'll take them seriously. Throwning a bunch of screens and led lights into a 3 yr lease vehicle... not impressed.
Tesla has no competitor to the Boxster and people buying Y's are not the same demo as Macan buyers.
And until Porsche, BMW and others hardwires NACS, as VAG is scrambling to do, they are all USB-A in a USB-C world.
