Gravity; SUV or Minivan

[hmp10]

For someone who loves minivans and enjoys the gravity for having the utility of a minivan, you’re quite insistent that the Gravity is NOTHING LIKE a minivan

Then you haven't been paying attention. I have posted several times that the Gravity has elements of a minivan . . . as well as elements of an SUV and a station wagon, thus really being not quite any one of the three categories.

You keep saying you wish there was a minivan on Lucid’s platform. So what’s wrong with saying that the Gravity fits your use case for that? It’s like you’re ashamed for the Gravity.

I think it’s pretty obvious that they combined elements of SUV and Minivan to make the Gravity. If you’re a minivan lover, you should love the Gravity. If you’re an Escalade sized SUV lover but want something more compact, you should also love the Gravity! The design is a home run for a lot of people once they get the opportunity to see them up close and the size/space etc…

I’m more concerned about advertising and marketing and affordability of the Gravity. I don’t think prospective buyers give a crap if it looks like a little like a minivan.

Agree, Lucid created a new category- blend of a minivan, station wagaon and a SUV.....with the advantages of all 3!

You persist in misreading what I actually wrote, I suppose in an attempt to make some kind of point. In the early days of my Air ownership I posted that I would love to have something like our Honda Odyssey on a Lucid platform, not because I care about the form per se, but because I was so smitten with Lucid's platform dynamics and the Odyssey's multi-purpose utility and thought the combo would make a great vehicle. But once the Gravity came into clearer focus, I posted several times that my dream vehicle used to be a Honda Odyssey on a Lucid platform. And those comments were followed by remarks that Lucid went well beyond that with the Gravity, creating a vehicle that had the performance and handling to which no minivan could aspire while preserving or even bettering a minivan's space utilization . . . and doing so in a much racier body.

I have absolutely no idea where you would get the idea that I am ashamed for the Gravity. I have seen one in person three times and ordered one within hours of the order configurator opening up. I don't think it looks like a minivan. Some people do. So what? It's a vehicle I'm chomping at the bit to put myself in on the road.

If you want to pick a fight about it by throwing my posts back at me, at least represent those posts accurately.

At 10:32 a.m. I posted, "I think the Gravity has clear elements of a minivan . . . ."

Two posts later, at 10:36 a.m. @momo3605 posted back to me that, "For someone who loves minivans and enjoys the gravity for having the utility of a minivan, you’re quite insistent that the Gravity is NOTHING LIKE a minivan. [@momo3605's emphasis]"

I've gotten sick of so much public discourse proceeding on the basis of deliberate misrepresentations or outright lies, and my temper is going to flare when I see it happen on this forum with my own posts.

I enjoy a good argument, but I try to adhere to certain rules, one of them being that honesty and good faith matter in argument.

You are on the internet…don’t get your hopes up too high.

I agree with the last paragraph but…it’s the internet.

True . . . but the moderators here do a very good job of keeping this forum a lot cleaner than the internet in general.

It’s a Mini SUVAN!

It has plastic fender trim so it can't be a minivan.
Can you put big tires on a Gravity and clear this obstacle? No you can't, because it's not an SUV.

It's a crossover!
