Are you serious? The Cologne engine was developed in the UK for the European market by Ford, and Mazda had nothing to do with any part of its design.

Sadly, most of the higher-trim versions are not dropping as fast as they should be. Granted, I have a hard time justifying buying one of these when I can get a year or so older model of a BMW, Lexus, etc. 

Remember when “LT” from GM meant leather interior or was the top-of-the line version of a model (except for Denali). Same goes for Honda, where EX models used to be top echelon. 

Sadly, the active safety systems do not decrease direct premiums, especially with comprehensive insurance, which tend to increase with such features. 

Sadly, no direct insurance discount. 

This makes me feel better, and it reinforces what I have always believed: domestic MSRP is like the “retail” price at Ross/Infomercials/etc. - no one pays it.

Problem being the price of the Japanese brands and Hyundai/Kia base models seems approximately the same as the base domestic models, but the domestic sacrifices features. 

If you take out the “and”, then place the “despite” inside the parentheses, it makes sense. Seems like someone had two ways to say that in their head, and did not proof thoroughly enough to catch it. Happens sometimes; I, thankfully, have someone else read my work before I submit it, with the hopento avoid such…

True: punctuation really does matter, especially when you call out the writing mistakes of another. 

You realize this car has a V12 too, right? So both have V12 noises, and this DB8 GT Vantage happens to have the factory-specified exhaust system to liven it up, so it should sound better than a stock DB9. 

Looks like most DB9s with 40-50k miles are under $40k.

I used to always say this when they were new, and people acted offended - like I was saying something that wasn’t obvious.

I thought it was Cologne based ( as specified in the article), which I believe is Ford based. 

Crazy that Aston chose standard single-DIN Alpine head units, from the factory. Of course as a result, easy upgrade. Aston and Jaguar used Alpine stuff for some time. 

I want to say Top Gear did a review of one of the first Tata-ownership Land Rover Range Rover vehicles and noted that the taillights were nice, but they retained water, already.

Cool car = Brown

Part of why newspapers are desperate for delivery numbers to not decline is the result of the legal notice publication requirements: to maintain that status, the publication must have a certain amount of daily readership, based on subscription and deliveries.

This sounds like something said by a person that has looked only at Honda, Acura, and Toyota, vehicles, and not at a Lexus.

You are just trying to be funny, right?

Haven’t they already announced killing the CT6 and the architecture it ways built on? Would have been smart to make more on that model, since it seemed well loved, heck a crossover shouldn’t have been too hard to graph onto it.
