Pretty much all crossovers are “tall wagons”, especially during this era, since they were derived from platforms that were originally designed to be cars and later scaled up to their limits.

I’m not sure the 4.0 GTS is actually for sale. Porsche has it on their sites but I’ve never seen one for sale new.  The only ones I see are used for 110-120k.

With how much their MSRP goes up each year, I fear the 911 will be like the GT-R and basically never be affordable. They’ll lose no value for the first 10 years, slightly depreciate the next 10 proportional to necessary maintenance, then become appreciating classics after 20 years.

My Golf R does 0-60 in 3.9 and costs 44k. How does a 3.0 TT only have 388HP?????

Dare I say it, but is this car approaching the size and luxury-barge class

That’s a lot, considering there aren’t that many car companies and most have more pragmatic names, like being named after a person, place, or having a generic name that’s some derivation of “car builder”.

so it’s got a lot of life left to live.

These aren’t theft deterrents at all. Head over to some subreddits for cars known to stolen frequently (Camaro, Challenger) and you’ll see tons of manuals being stolen. The manuals in them fetch a good price on the used market.

In a suburb where this doesn’t happen.

Shop around, there’s tons of them available in the midwest at a discount. One dealership in Indianapolis I found apparently has about a dozen for sale - all of which are $2-6k under MSRP.

Funny how apparently the midwest is the Z capital of the world. With the weather still being nice, I’ll see 3-4 a weekend.

Audi leans too much on their styling, and their general design language is a little stale. Just about everything they make has this muted Generic Euro Hatchback look to it.

Honestly, it just looks like a terrible body kit. The front fenders and grill are knock-offs, but the rest doesn’t match at all.

In motorsports applications they make the same HP.

now realize that they’re going to own the blame for whatever harm they do

Hence, used car prices are high!

This argument is over used. Pretty much every mention of average on the internet will have a comment about how median is better. Nobody seems to consider why then, reports still report average. After all, presumably people compiling this data have at one point read an internet comment about data and learned this bit…

I’ve been a long time reader of Jalopnik and Autoblog, and I definitely remember the “why by a new <cheap respectable car> when you can get a used <luxury car> for the same price?”

Trucks and SUVs have gone from niche vehicles to the majority of the market.
