EV wagon that is NOT a Tesla

[DriveHard]

Looking for something that is a wagon (I love my TourX) with room for my son who is already as tall as me in the back, and two 100 pound dogs in the hatch. It will need to have power enough to steer me away from another IC engine car...seriously, better than my Vette. Right now I am really digging the Kia EV6 GT, just got back from the dealer...none on hand, no way to see them...so I am not going to put any money down.
again, no Tesla models please...I can't stand the way they look, and the stupid ipad stuck on the dash interior.

Or again...if you know of a manual LS based Buick TourX type vehicle...please take my money.

Bolt EUV? Maybe that's too slow for you I guess

Dodge Magnum SRT8 AWD? Likely not a manual but still.

Like it...but a bit higher than I was hoping for. Wanting to stay under/around $60k.
I would stretch it to $70K if Genesis would put the EV6 GT capability in the GV60.

CTS-V wagon? Just a bit slower than your Vette. Probably will appreciate too.

Like it, and the style, but can't find a manual.

I think you will be looking for a long time.

Wait, are you looking for a manual? Or an EV?

Because, for a manual, in a practical size - this is excellent. The Volvo V70R made from 2004-2007. Look for a clean one with good service records. The clutch is nice, the transmission shifts very well. Mine is shown.

I would love a modern manual transmission wagon powered with a SBC...I realize it is non-existent, and kind of threw it out there as a dream. I like my TourX, even more after I tuned it. I have a coil over kit for it (which I realize will kill resale value), but am craving something more in my DD. My bride is also not a fan of being chauffeured in a Buick...her last several cars have been BMW, MB, and an Alfa...but she loves her ZR2, and she works from home, so no worry about fuel economy, and I like having a truck in the garage.

I drive about 50 miles round trip, all highway to and from work, so an EV is about perfect for my demographic. I am a petrol-head, and prefer to ride my motorcycle or manual transmission C5 when I can (weather).

If I transition to an EV, which I know can be more financially lucrative, I want it to be faster and more engaging than my tuned TourX. If I have to drive an auto, it may as well be an EV.

I won't drive a Tesla.
Right now I am seeing the EV6 GT powertrain in the Genesis at ~$65k (dream) as a winner...although not existing
