Wow, that is really decked out.  Love all the features.  Too bad we do not have something like that in the states.  But then again it would probably cost over 100k.  What is the price in China?

Hmm, the front reminds me somewhat of the “BEAUTIFUL” styling that GM “inflicted” on their ‘58s.

I don't know, seems too complicated to me.  Too much to adjust/set before you can get on your way.

I just twist a key, put the gear selector in "D", the parking brake releases automatically, and go.

I used AI to find out:

The 

2026 AITO M9

 ranges in price from approximately $70,600 to $97,000 USD.

 
The vehicle's official pricing in China spans from 479,800 yuan to 659,800 yuan, with the exact USD conversion depending on the tier, configuration, and powertrain:

 
  • Standard / Base Max+ Tiers: Start at $70,600 USD (479,800 yuan)
  • Premium Ultra Tiers: Mid-range configurations span roughly $74,000 to $85,000 USD depending on 5-seat or 6-seat variants.
  • Ultimate Extended Edition: Peak luxury configurations top out at $97,000 USD (659,800 yuan).

I defiantly will stick to my 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Nothing to go wrong and far more fun.

@geno   ...and as it is built by the Chinese things will likely go wrong.  Just think about the highways and hospitals they built in Africa...

@pete-rovero Pete I'm with you. My 2001 Crown Victoria LX with the handling package works just fine for me.

@bob-jackman Same here, our 2018 Grand Cherokee has more than all the stuff we need and/or use. We've been extremely happy with it.💯😊 The only pic I have is when we picked it up from the dealership all those years ago, lol.

Great car; well built, fun to drive, bullet proof, zero depreciation at this point, basic sports car so nothing complicated to repair.  One of the best sports car choices out there David.
