“The GR Corolla is many things. It’s the spiritual successor to the Celica GT-Four”

I have read in several places that the Boxster/996 were the saviours. The Cayenne was just milking it even further.

What engine did the US Cruze Diesel had? The 1.7 litre? Or the 2 litre?

Diesel has been cheaper before since… forever?

Why are SUVs OK but saloons and estates not for sportscar makers?

And yet he decided to not pursue the Ferrarina, the first non-V12 road going cars were Dinos (never Ferraris) and only late in his life road going Ferrari wore anything other than a V12 (and you could trace their lineage to the original Dino).

In my 5 years with an Alfa Romeo, the electronics never failed.

This is the correct take. And you could even argue about Porsche.

Which since VW doesn’t deem the US worthy of it is not downmarket at all.

A normally aspirated V12, rear mounted transaxle gearbox and a 49:51 front-rear weight distribution.

Well, it is not a 70-year production run, but quite close at 67.

For the first time in a long time last weekend I filled up and diesel was more expensive than petrol. By a small amount, but still.

Looking at the main article picture, from that angle, if you squint a bit, it looks like a supercharged XKR Convertible.

It matters indirectly.

Nope, the standard fixed suspension. It is an option I regret not ticking back in the day.

I think the car only made some sense in Europe as a sort of an über-Volkswagen although I don’t know if it is doing well in sales. Sort of like the Touareg.

This is actually completely unrelated to the A6/A7. The Audis have longitudinal engine, this has it mounted tranversally.

Yet one with an Italian body and an American contraption did…

Without wanting to set a precedent, in this case it will probably mean the end of the Arteon for everyone.

I don’t know, the F21 M140i still is somewhat bouncy if the tarmac isn’t perfect. It’s not horrid, but it doesn’t ride properly.
