Nobody is getting a Golf R for 2020. German production has moved on to the Mk 8 and the R has the standard lag until release.

WTF are you talking about? Go look at the model lineup across VAG brands.  Only a small percentage are crossovers.  Just because VW doesn’t intend to make this vehicle available to a country that is, collectively, populated by unsophisticated mouthbreathers doesn’t mean they’re ramming crossovers down our throats.

By building a 315hp sedan and wagon?

I don’t particularly care for the two silver lines across the front that connect the headlights and the Volkswagen symbol, but I think every other angle of that wagon is gorgeous. Would love to have a wagon R in that amazing dark yellow they had on the 2019 model.

I think that's the consumers to the manufacturers currently

I am partially deaf in one ear, so talk radio is a pita to listen to.

I got addicted to NPR after I returned to the US after being Europe for a semester during the runup to the 1st Gulf War. It was the closest we had to BBC.

One article about real electric trucks doing day-to-day work now impresses me more than ten articles about so-far vaporware electric pickups.

Look, kid - we can’t ALL grow up to be long-haul trash collectors, making those lonely pickups between Alliance and Grand Island on Nebraska’s desolate State Highway 2.  Some of us just have to haul refuse on The Intra-City Run...

16 tons seems to be the gross overall weight, although I’m a bit confused by that, as it could legally be 18tons for a truck of that size. Also, metric tons.

Newey is a bit more than four times a champion...

Surely you mean this 4-time F1 champion? 

Land Rover killed their best vehicle, the deserve what they get, it doesn’t look like a vehicle that they actually sell anymore! 

Awesome, SO there will be a new Defender! I cannot understand why LR didn’t do what Merc did with the Gelandewagen, update it a bit but don’t destroy what the people that like your brand actually like about it! I knew there were people as annoyed as I was about the death of LR, make no mistake LR is dead, they make …

Enough with the applause over Lincoln’s so-called revival.  Bloated models, too much chrome, not much different from the yawnfest that took them to the brink of insolvency.  Put a bullet in this marque already.  

They’d sell literally tens of them, again. 

Finally the Dutch have a defence against German invasion.

Um, A. Because context matters.
