I guess people should start hiding their Rolls Royces at home too. Maybe that’s why you rarely see them? People are too embarrassed.

There’s nothing stopping you from doing this to a JL.

I think Cadillac disputes that claim.

Maybe the reason people automatically go for the Wrangler is because the only other vehicles with a solid front axle are HD trucks and the G Wagon? Sure, the styling is iconic and a lot of people really do just want a Jeep but the market isn’t completely monopolized.

If they want to make a dent in Wrangler sales it needs the SFA. They won’t be taken seriously if it can’t seriously go off road, and nobody will buy it if it has Hummer Syndrome. People want the real thing, even if they don’t use it.

Niche audience? Jeep sold 190k Wranglers in the US last year despite the JK being on its 10th and final year in full production, while Toyota only sold 128k 4Runners.

The 2018 Mustang GT is an 11 second car. A F150 Raptor will do it in ~14 flat, are you really telling me the Mustang GT is barely faster than Fords own truck?

460 hp rwd manual is meh now?

I think they make the Raptor for that.

This is $15k too (cheaper/pricier ones are available with less/more power) and will embarrass that Mahindra.

Don’t forget the hopes and dreams! Maybe a wish upon a rainbow as well, if you can find one, or a nice shooting star. Prayers aren’t enough.

Which is the point of the article. Tesla doesn’t need any help selling its cars, X buyers don’t need any tax breaks, the S sells itself and the 3 has reservations for years to come so they want to get rid of it because that would benefit Tesla. Every other automaker wants to keep the incentive around because keeping…

If the car is leased, the finance company takes the credit and applies to to the cost of the lease. The end buyer still benefits.

I think a couple more articles explaining tax credits might be required. People still don’t seem to get it.

That’s not how tax credits work at all. The manufacturers aren’t getting a penny of money, it’s only the end consumer that sees a benefit. The only reason automakers want to extend the credit is so that the market for EVs doesn’t die once they finally ramp up production and have a ton of money invested in these cars.

It’s so awful, though.

When did 333 hp become the “high 300" range?

If he hadn’t been wearing one he wouldn’t be allowed to compete.

Allow me to introduce the Polaris RZR XP4 Turbo, a $28,499 four seat turbocharged off road only toy that sells like you wouldn’t believe. Off roading is a big industry and the toys are expensive, and people buy them.

They sold a whopping 3,100 LCs in the US last year so I don’t think there’s much of a wave they’re riding on. For comparison, Mercedes sold 4,188 G Wagons. A diesel would increase the cost of the LC by probably $5-7k (or $10k with the LC tax Toyota insists on) but I doubt any current buyers would even notice the…
