Next up a couple nuggets Kiya 86 00:05:04.619 --> 00:05:08.169 News. It's no secret we love the stinger. Going forward 87 00:05:08.169 --> 00:05:11.619 this hatchback could possibly just maybe going 88 00:05:11.619 --> 00:05:15.319 electric. In a recent interview Kareem Habib that's the 89 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.519 firm's design boss, left the door open that a future 90 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.719 version of the car might be an EV. Would you consider 91 00:05:22.719 --> 00:05:26.709 buying an electric Stinger? Moving along this Kia 92 00:05:26.709 --> 00:05:30.399 Optima is dead. Well, not exactly you see, the 93 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.329 company's solid midsize sedan will continue to be 94 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:37.129 offered. But it will probably be rebranded the K five, 95 00:05:37.509 --> 00:05:39.139 which is what the model is actually called in the 96 00:05:39.139 --> 00:05:41.799 company's home market of South Korea. You see 97 00:05:41.849 --> 00:05:45.619 recently the K five showed up as a 2020 21 model in 98 00:05:45.619 --> 00:05:48.939 an EPA listing which is pretty strong evidence that a 99 00:05:48.999 --> 00:05:53.099 name change is afoot. As for official 100 00:05:53.099 --> 00:05:56.604 automotive death notices the Acura RL x sedan is 101 00:05:56.604 --> 00:06:00.154 heading to that big parking lot in the sky. The 102 00:06:00.154 --> 00:06:02.559 automaker recently confirmed it will be dropping From 103 00:06:02.559 --> 00:06:05.979 the Acula line up by the end of this year, that means 104 00:06:05.979 --> 00:06:09.069 the MDX crossover will now serve as the brands 105 00:06:09.069 --> 00:06:13.299 flagship model. I never loved this vehicle, but I am 106 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.689 sad to see yet another Sedan fall victim to the great 107 00:06:16.729 --> 00:06:21.154 crossover craze. God speed RLX, God speed. At 108 00:06:21.154 --> 00:06:23.799 least the folks at Mercedes Benz still see value in four 109 00:06:23.799 --> 00:06:27.639 door cars. A brand new S Class is in the works set to 110 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.599 arrive for the 2021 model year and they just released 111 00:06:31.729 --> 00:06:34.329 an official teaser image. As you can see [ MUSIC ] See? 112 00:06:34.329 --> 00:06:38.049 It has a grill, headlights, and even wheels, such 113 00:06:38.049 --> 00:06:41.669 innovation. Actually, a few spy photos came out not 114 00:06:41.669 --> 00:06:44.469 long ago showing the new S class basically in its 115 00:06:44.469 --> 00:06:47.609 entirety. Kitten's out of the proverbial satchel at this 116 00:06:47.609 --> 00:06:49.589 point, so. I'm not sure why they're still trying to be coy 117 00:06:49.589 --> 00:06:53.809 about it. Finally, you can now pick up a 118 00:06:53.809 --> 00:06:57.339 Rolls Royce Cullinan for roughly 17 grand which is 119 00:06:57.339 --> 00:06:59.889 about as much as a Honda Fit. That means the 120 00:06:59.889 --> 00:07:02.709 boutique British automaker has discounted the vehicle 121 00:07:03.009 --> 00:07:07.159 by about $ 308, 000 How'd they do it? Well, it's not 122 00:07:07.159 --> 00:07:11.219 exactly a full size SUV more like one eight scale. 123 00:07:11.619 --> 00:07:14.549 You see this is a scale model one made of more than 124 00:07:15.659 --> 00:07:18.989 1000 pieces and it takes up to 450 hours to 125 00:07:19.059 --> 00:07:22.109 assemble. Which is twice as long as a real Kalinin. This 126 00:07:22.109 --> 00:07:26.289 thing is even built to the same exacting standards. 127 00:07:26.979 --> 00:07:31.079 The detailing here is simply incredible. All right, 128 00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:33.669 I think that's just about enough news for this show. 129 00:07:33.739 --> 00:07:36.169 Thank you so much for watching Autocomplete, and 130 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:39.099 please consider subscribing if you liked this video. 131 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:39.819 Thanks again.
