And you are correct. If a leading photo for the article can show a Mercury, Acura is something we can also talk about.

Hello fellow GQ owner! Who did you call?? I’d love to know the stats on my model - they only have 10 Argento models up there, but I can’t find that info for states.
Of course, was just talking about MSRP. GQs sold for 20k on regular bases, and 2012-2013 Abarths had a 7k discount everywhere.
I agree and I disagree. GQ is just a special edition Abarth. VIN of a GQ is an Abarth VIN. But, there isn’t a single Abarth badge on it, so I see your point.
Of course you can - every GQ has an Abarth VIN. Same engine, same transmission, same suspension (as 500C Abarth). I bought an Abarth steering wheel and replaced my GQ stock steering wheel. I have Abarth competizione badges in matte gray on the way, and matt gray trunk handle, and custom made pedals. I removed GQ…
You sure are right - I just bought a 2014 500C Abarth GQ Edition, with 5901 miles on it for $15224. MSRP + destination was $27K+
Not on Jalopnik, where average reader makes $13 per hour and drivers a second hand car.
Everyone buys SUVs and CUVs today anyway. Besides - they do NOT compete with BMW and MB directly on specs - they never did with fwd platforms and V6 for the top engine. They sell well because they are reliable, civilized, plenty capable for 99% of people, and have good resale value.
You seem to think that for someone to do well, they have to match the numbers of what some might consider their closest competition. If they sell, if they are growing, if they make a profit, tjeu are doing well. Bmw and MB always sell more than them. I am not sure why that is such a hard concept to grasp.
GM is way, way larger than Honda, and Cadillac barely outsells Acura
They are doing well.
So if Subaru sells less cars than Toyota, they are doing bad?
They are doing well - some other companies might sell more - that doesn’t mean that Acura is not doing well.
It would not, but they are ahead of the curve - CUVs and SUV sell - sedans, not so much.
I presume you are talking about Acura? They are doing really well in the market, not sure how they are failing at all.
BMW 535Xi Wagon
This will just turn into a Forester in a year or two, and it will be so removed from the concept, it’ll look like crap - just like every other awesome Subaru concept
Much better :)
1st sentence - yup. Second sentence, yup I agree. Third sentence - what?
