That's a marketing name for Porky.

It is used in all the product.

You are making a trademark rather than marketing name.

Turbo cannot be trademark as it is a generic term.

Otherwise, Porky would have trademark it.

Yes, leg room is surprisingly good, and yes boot is small and the openly is even smaller, but there is extra space in the front hoot, which I don't think most ppl will use it often.

Actually i think front boot useful. Most of the time ppl park backside in, walk to the front to collect your barang is easier than squeezing to the back more often than not.

Steering boh feel... 😁

All like that now. No feel but the front end is sharp and turns in pretty well. 
then you feel the weight of the rear and the ass dragging feeling.

With instant torque, it is not dragging as compared to a RWD ICE car.

At least that’s what I felt test driving Tesla.

yes, I do agree if like tabao food and some light marketing , the space there is useful. My concern is while the boot is design to be open and close X numbers of time without failing, the front hoot might not be since we dont usually open it too often. 

I tabao food everyday, so idea actually good.

Although noise is not a big selling point, but I am one of those that appreciate quietness of a car.

The Toyota Prius hybrid was already very quite to me, and EVs are as quiet or even quieter. I had a Singpost EV bike rode passed me the other day without even me noticing. And then a 10 wheeler EV truck was parked  along the long side uploading stuffs, I walked passed it without knowing its motors were running.

I tend to drive quite "enthusiastically"....so when going into corners and bend with a numb steering and depending on blind faith that the car will turn in accordingly is a deal breaker to me.

Ultimately if circumstances forces me to go EV, other than adapting to the "refueling" and taxation changes, I also have to adapt my driving style to the EV. This is something I prefer to hold off for as long as I possibly can.
