While what you’re describing does sound very cool, I have the highest doubts about the whole “profit” part.

Except niches seem to be what the market is all about right now.

It’s got much more to do with safety requirements than people’s size.

I’m not comparing euro to US prices directly, rather translating the price difference in Europe to the US price.

In Europe, a moderately appointed 2.0 TDI 180hp 4WD Manual Amarok is about 40,000€, or about 35% more than a mid-range Golf TDI.

Hmmm, that’s a very good point.. you just have to hope it doesn’t get stuck in the open position!

That’s interesting, thanks!

Nope. Mercedes (among others) did it too.

“[...] the software fixes that will be implemented during the recalls are not expected to hamper performance or fuel economy”

Except when you sue someone, you expect some kind of deal to be reached. If you know there’s a big negotiation factor, there’s no way you’re going to ask for just what you paid, as this puts you in a situation where you can’t accept any compromise.

So that also works for Mercedes, Audi, etc. Why did they make it Tesla-centric? Tesla is pretty adamant their Autopilot is a driver aid, not a driver replacement.

This would be the first time in the history of the entire world that a company uses a fancy name to advertise one of its products.

Yeah, and with an interference engine, losing a valve is... well not good.

In depth look at racing cars!

All Macan’s are turbocharged though. The only thing is that the base version has a 4-pot.

In theory, I agree..

0-60 is quoted at 8.2s for the US AWD version.

Awww how cute. All american hospitals are loaded with equipment and accessible via a straight, well paved road at any given time. There are unicorns at every street corner, too.

Except you’ll want metallic paint too. And nice looking rims. And cruise control. And maybe the sport seats too, as they’re apparently much nicer. And it wouldn’t be much of a Porsche without the Chrono pack (with more aggressive driving modes), and the sport exhaust.

How about, you know, stainless steel?
