Think you might have confused GVWR for curb weight. 

It looks like that 300K Porsche number is global sales, but the Lexus and others are US only. Porsche US sales were 70K.

I feel like writers on this site don’t really understand the difficult role Government has to play. There’s no middle ground or nuance or policy analysis.

27 percent more, 13 horsepower, so... The Mk7 had 48 horsepower?

While the price has only increased 2.9 percent, VW is giving 27 percent more power

Wanna know what makes comparisons easy?  Charts/spreadsheets.

Just go read some of Mercedes Streeter’s work. Thorough, insightful, analysis of new cars. Even when we’re talking about a ‘First Drive’ article. Her review of the VW Taos - an SUV of all things - was consummately professional.

What has happened to car reviews on Jalopnik? It’s rare I click on them any more, but I’m genuinely considering an XF for my next car so gave this one a read.

Yes, CHEVY wont be bringing anything......

The XTS was the best one of them all?

The Lancia sold for $423 000, which begs the question “I am Jalopnik’s editor-in-chief. I have $3000 of disposable income to buy a classic car. Which car should I buy?”

The article speaks of this car as if it’s real, but the images are all renders.  Which is it?

Piece?  As in piece of ass?  I’m confused.

Yeah the grille design is questionable (might not be the final form), but the rest of the car looks pretty good.

A year ago TSLA was at 319 now its 300. The weather in shortsvill is nice this time of year.

Toyota is selling over 700,000 Camrys/Corollas this year and evidently making money at it. Ford is abandoning the segments completely; this is insane. I’m a Ford fanboy (see username) but this is an awful, short-sighted decision that they’re going to regret for a long, long time.

Provided the Edge and Taurus use the same platforms, maybe it doesn’t matter and keeping them isn’t a very big issue

I thought the Fiesta was already confirmed as dead.

I can’t stand it when people refer to their car by internal chassis code, their engine by its code, and so on.

I had to Google the 2019 Avalon before I believed I was actually looking at a real car. That is an astoundingly ugly vehicle - and even more so as a full size sedan with no sporting intentions to speak of.
