Europe favors smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles that can navigate cities with streets laid out in medieval times; American buyers tend to opt for bulky, interstate-cruising SUVs loaded with creature comforts. In China, drivers value tech-laden vehicles with expressive exterior styling.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past several decades, European, Scandinavian, Japanese and Korean carmakers have successfully made inroads into the U.S. market by paying attention to design. They either bring over vehicles with cultural-taste-overlap, or design them from scratch to appeal to Yankee drivers. China, with a much newer automotive industry, has yet to make inroads here. The global trade situation doesn&#8217;t help, but another obstacle might be the lack of interest in providing American-friendly design.<\/p>\n<p>A case in point is this just-announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ff.com\/us\/fx\/super-one\/\">FX Super One<\/a>, a bizarre luxury minivan clearly designed for the Chinese market, but apparently being brought to the U.S. (While manufacturer Faraday X is technically based in Los Angeles, the company has Chinese roots and operates with a &#8220;dual-home-market&#8221; strategy.) It will be offered as both a battery EV and a hybrid extended-range EV.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just not sure what the company&#8217;s thinking. In addition to regrettable styling, the vehicle comes with a strange feature no one (in this market) asked for: An LED grille that can be used to display an animated face, images, and text. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Even worse, the website copy has clearly been machine-translated from Chinese, with randomly-capitalized words:<\/p>\n<p>World&#8217;s First Super EAI F.A.C.E. with an Empathetic Connection between You and Your Super One<br \/>\nSuper EAI F.A.C.E. endows the FX Super One\u2014a Vehicle Embodied Agent\u2014with the ability to express itself and communicate with the world. It can also serve as the Face of your personal Vehicle EAI Avatar, extending your voice and presence and making you the center of attention wherever you go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;EAI&#8221; apparently stands for &#8220;Embodied Artificial Intelligence,&#8221; but it&#8217;s not clear what AI or the screen are supposed to &#8220;communicate with the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The vehicle will have rather a lot of airbags.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>With any luck, the screen in the cabin will have better resolution than the marketing images.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As for what makes this a luxury vehicle, the copy states that &#8220;every seat is a VIP seat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>That said, the champagne in the rendering doesn&#8217;t look all that pricey:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Does this vehicle have a chance in the U.S. market? The company claims they&#8217;ve already got 10,000 (non-binding) pre-orders, and they haven&#8217;t even revealed the price, only saying it will be &#8220;under $100,000.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they could always take the Influencer approach, as a lot of companies do before a Kickstarter, and give free product to YouTubers and TikTokers in exchange for PR. They&#8217;re offering a 7-seat version aimed at families, a 6-seater aimed at the business segment, and a four-seater &#8220;GOAT Edition \u2013 For Celebrity and Star&#8221; [sic]. Whether they&#8217;d want to announce their presence with a screen on the front of their vehicle remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From continent to continent, there are cultural differences in vehicle preferences, and thus in automotive design.
