Great, so now that we have established that nobody is a fanboy let us objectively take a gander at the current situation.

Here is Doug Demuro reviewing the Volkswagen ID Buzz:

tl;dr: It is fine.

Here he is reviewing the Rivian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYrunRy8hmw

tl;dr: It is excellent. In fact he says "coolest pickup truck ever made". People who were excited about the cyber truck and know cars would rather get this one.

Well.. I don't know about the French. ;)

But Volkswagen will make you an electrified Golf just fine. And that is the best selling car in Europe. Toyota will make you a Yaris and a boring beige Prius.

The bz4x is out now and getting good reviews: https://www.toyota.co.uk/new-cars/bz4x

It is just fine, and slightly cheaper, and so longer term it is unclear how it will all play out.
