i read another article about Polestar's business plan...they will be marketing their cars much like Genesis, but there won't be an actual "store" to go to...it will all be done via web/app...also, you won't be able to "buy" the vehicles, they will all be subscription based (kind of like a lease)...when your subscription is up, their hope is you renew it for a new one...they will then bring you a new vehicle and take the old one back.

here's the article:  http://driving.ca/auto-news/news/motor-mouth-volvos-ev-revolution-starts-with-a-600-hp-sports-car

You're not confusing it with the Polestar 2, are you? I do not see any Charger here, but maybe that's just me...

No..it was just a general thought about a fairly unremarkable looking car.

 Like a Charger.

The rear buttress is almost identical to a Charger.  It does look like a two door Charger.
+1 Charger is the first thing that comes to mind. Not necessarily a bad thing, though.

nothing really wrong with a Charger, but keep in mind, not likely what you want to think of when you look at a $200k car.
