I often think is this a missed market in the US in that there would be a market but its not being tapped? I think of all the ballers, put this in a few videos, songs, and maybe find an "Escalade" in success? Thats just pop, which i admit would be a small market so then you have wealthy individuals and business owners, families... would they take this over an Escalade? Id explore it! What do they need in sales to make it worth their time? Im guessing it would sell 1k per month easy.

@@AbrahamArthemius I think for America Atleast when you’re talking about luxury vehicles, it has to have presence. The LM just doesn’t make quite a statement in comparison to an Escalade despite it being far more efficient in many ways. Plus, you can’t avoid the minivan stigma. The American luxury market is based on the ideals of excess and something is logical as the LM wouldn’t fit in.
