If the 570 and the land cruiser have the same interior proportions I think the 570 is better than the QX. Handily trumped by the Escalade though.

Good answer.

Then I only have one question: why?

This is all very insightful, just one note: I don’t think overtaking the Q50 in sales is a very exciting or relevant metric haha.

Obviously I know the two aren’t being cross-shopped. No one cross shops two different cars with a singular car. I was expressing an opinion.

$27,000 is not enough to purchase the LM002 that I am going to continue to request that you own.

The answer to this is to make every initial title of a scandal ubiquitous, so that we will have a plethora of colloquialisms to choose from.

Who is the target market for this car? Who is Lexus expecting to purchase this? It’s sharp looking and different and has a V8 but it still doesn't pull me. I'd rather have a Focus RS and an IS200t for the S/O for the money. But that's probably because I'm a millennial.

It seemed so natural that I just thought “hmm, that was clever,” and kept reading.

Thinking back on the way I would drive when I was 16-19 it's a miracle I didn't hurt or kill myself or anyone around me. Fuck 16 year old me.

But. But you're not showcasing any facts either. Don't show us something that doesn't exist. Just show us some Chinese automotive innovation and maybe people will hop off your sack.

Okay I just read through all of this. This is just silly and I want to help:

I’m gonna jump into this goofy trollish discussion because that Ranger X sheetmetal is actually pretty sweet.

I just happened to see one of these in College Station of all places. Truly beautiful SUV.

I want to know what focus group told them that their target market REALLY wanted the front wheels to serve dual purposes.

It looks like a Miura aggressively fucked a 2000GT. and I like it.

I don’t know if this is just me but I don’t really care that all this VW stuff happened as a car guy. Emissions has never been paramount in my mind and they were protecting torque outputs. I would love to pickup a 6MT TDI Sportwagen right now if I could find one.

Three *rows* of seats.

Tavarish, both your ideas and your reasoning are getting worse. I wouldn't touch someone's 60k HIGHLY modified Audi with a 10-foot pole, much less one with a high strung V8 like the 4.2. Who knows what else they fucked with.

Torch!!! Where have you been. This was my favorite jalopitorial in months. I really hope the buzzfeed writer sees this - we can't be a subtweeting community. They deserve to know what they've done.
