They’ve had plenty of failures over the years... but I can’t hate on the Allante. Maybe my opinion of it is skewed because I enjoyed the Matchbox version I have from when I was a kid, but I’d consider picking a real one up someday if the price was right. 

...which will direct you to the nearest Lincoln or Audi dealership. 

I think this is something many manufacturers are trying to fix, for example see VW with their current MQB chassis and their upcoming MEB EV chassis. It can be scaled as needed and a lot of the base architecture will be the same whether it’s a Golf-sized vehicle or an Atlas-sized vehicle. So it’s easier (and likely…

Very fitting for Cadillac. Even their logo will be an empty shell of its former self.

...and continuing to receive those calls six months after you’ve made your purchase elsewhere. 

One thing to consider if buying a top-trim car and hoping to swap in smaller wheels is that it’s relatively common for higher-trim cars to have larger front brakes than the lower-trim version of the same car, which would essentially make it physically impossible to install smaller wheels without swapping out your…

That long from now, huh? You’re an optimist! 

For the price of this thing I’d rather have a pre-owned Aston Martin or that Maserati that they posted yesterday in a different article. Or maybe a BRZ/FRS with money left over for some mods.

I was worried that Alfa’s sales might be slow overall since they really only have two mainstream models and a not-so-extensive dealer network, so I was happy to see how the Giulia and Stelvio did for the year:

I’m currently leasing one; I’ve had it for about three months now and look forward to driving it every day!

Interesting that it’s made to order; I didn’t know that! Maybe it’s not fair to compare it to the R8 and others then since Acura’s sales goals may not be as high.

That’s definitely a price range I don’t expect to find myself shopping in (although maybe someday...) but I could see that extra $15k being a dealbreaker. Just because they can afford an $85k car doesn’t mean they’re not on a budget; they may have kids in college, or want to allocate a certain amount to stocks, etc.…

Virtually every Audi dealership I’ve been in has had an R8 in the showroom. I’ve never seen an Acura dealer with an NSX.

It may be just a hair smaller than what you have, but if you’re looking at new or lightly used I can’t recommend the Alfa Romeo Stelvio highly enough. It is SO much fun but it’s also great at just being a car and doing things around town without any drama. It’s a little shorter than your X5, too (185" I think...)

I never really thought about how much longer the Grand Caravan is now compared to 20 years ago.  The current one is 204" long!  And I’d still rather have the new Grand Caravan than this Explorer... 

Does yours have the ZF transmission or that F1-style manumatic thing? I’ve been curious about reliability on these... I’ve always been tempted to pick up a used one on the cheap whenever I have a lease ending, but I haven’t been brave enough to make the leap yet. 

Trunk release switch isn’t really in a weird spot compared to some other FCA vehicles. At least it’s easily accessible once you know where it is. The previous-gen Quattroporte had switches and buttons in all kinds of weird places. I think the cruise control switches were on the dash panel just to the right of the…

Chrysler Pacifica has the liftgate power close button on the inside rear panel as well. Took me forever to find it when I had a rental one time, but it made sense once I knew where it was.

That looks 100 times better and is exactly what they should have done.

This is all I can think of when I look at the top picture. The proportions just look.... odd.
