Just as shocking, all Toyota/Lexus derivations, using the same drivetrain, get similar results.

No matter what Trump intended (as if he knew), initiating VW and Porsche production in the US will not keep their prices at current levels. This is only one part of a larger automobile landscape. And when tariffs on other, imported goods inevitably increase the consumer cost of those goods, Volkswagen will follow suit—…

Don’t a lot of the old scubarus have the top mount IC’s so the scoops drops air right into them? I feel like you are missing a lot of info.

I mean, if you don’t do any research, one could imagine that you might be correct. But the Prius, the Efficient Car Poster Boy, is well below both mean and median new car prices. So are the Accord Hybrid, Civic Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid. All with 50+ MPG. The efficient cars are absolutely not more expensive…

This is a psychological issue not a practical one. You get to fill your car at home and have anywhere from 100 to 300 miles to exploit daily. Do you really think you will find yourself in a dangerous part of town after driving around for 300 miles in one day?

Come on, nothing good happens at 2am. Didn’t your mother tell you that.

That’s debatable, though. It’s both the consumers’ fault, but also the manufacturers (and dealers) who push more expensive SUV/CUVs at the expense of cheaper, more practical vehicles..

“fossil fuel dependance is a matter of national security!”

Nope. They will drive their F-150 on their daily, 60-mile round trip commute AND bitch about the price of gas.

Hey Red-Hat dipshits! Know what would be a great way to keep costs for working folks down?

$110k is a tough value proposition when a Cayman GTS 4.0 starts at less, or a 911 Carrera T starts at slightly more. The real hero of this segment was the S550 Mach 1 at the end of the production run, where it got all the brakes/aero/suspension from the GT500 but with a good 6-speed and without the blower.

Yeah, HP is cheap and easy.

What do you drive and what size is the battery?

Yeah. I sincerely doubt that anyone buying a Lyriq has track days in mind. The standard Lyriq is already really good. This exists for the same reason the Range Rover SVR does, to give people an opportunity to spend more money.

Lazy.

It’s much bigger than the Equinox. It’s significantly bigger than even the Blazer EV. I guarantee the suspension is much different, the seats are bigger and more supportive, the motors are definitely not the same, the luxury features aren’t the same...

Pretty damn good looking, too. Nice job, Cadillac.

Where did I say dealerships are the sole source of problems for automakers?

You’re reading too much into my question. I’m not suggesting they should or should not. It’s a legitimate question. If these dealers don’t have access to other VAG products (and I don’t know if they do/do not), why are they insisting access to Scout?

I guess the question I’d ask is “Can a VW dealership sell an Audi; can it sell a Porsche; can it sell a Lamborghini” All those are independent brands, owned by VAG. If a VW dealer has no right to those brands, why would they have a right to Scout?
