It's obviously not made by an American because never received a car branded as the Qashqai which should have been labeled as the Hyundai Kona. Same as the CX-8. We have the CX-9 here. With those said, the detailed drawings of the cars are beautiful!! I am a bit shocked at the Maverick, being Ford's "tiny" truck sitting so low on the list. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Trippin@lemmy.world 38 points 3 years ago I'm just loving the fact a fucking tank has better visibility then a few of those trucks permalink fedilink source parent [–] neutronicturtle@lemmy.world 13 points 3 years ago (1 child) I think it's an error.
