Rory Reid reviewed the BMW iX, and the more reviews of this thing that comes the more I am starting to like it.
Yes, let me get the obvious out of it, THE FRONT GRILL!
But once you see past it, which actually looks good in person (I find it quirky and unique), the iX50 does have some real...
Rivian has been actively posting information in their Rivian Canada FB page over the last few weeks.
They had some posts back in November 2019, and then all of a sudden, a whole bunch of posts and pictures have started popping up this month.
