Except for the lower valance, it looks like they just took the Lincoln MKZ design and said “put a taillight around where the Lincoln’s was so nobody knows we copied their homework”.

Speaking of bad advice, there it is.

Couple of points to make here. Cars made less power 15 years ago. Large luxury cars aren’t about brutal power output but refined acceleration. And the “underpowered” Phaeton W12 did 0-60 in 5.5 while weighing almost 5200#.

The Touareg and Cayenne were codeveloped. With the Audi being not far behind.

The systems do work together, but can (and do) work independently of each other. Front camera in the windshield is used for lane keep systems, hence why it’s a camera. It is not good at judging distances, especially at speed. Adaptive/dynamic Cruise Control uses radar sensors in the bumper. These are the glossy front…

You should brush up on the meaning of gig economy then.

Adaptive cruise control is a separate system from lane keeping. They can work in unison, but not from the same camera unit in most cars I’ve worked on. 

Make and model? Because the sensors should be in the bumper. The units on the rear view mirror are forward facing cameras used for things like lane keep assist and the like. 

Yeah man. All those gig workers downloading an app so they can build a car or tractor in their free time 🙄

This should be common sense. Consumers (and humans in general) are absolute idiots. The amount of people who bring their car for repair because they’re systems don’t work in inclement weather is insane. And they refuse to believe you when you explain the sensitivity of these systems and they default off rather than…

Which is weird because they don’t use cameras. They’re done via radar sensors in the front of the car. So sunlight should have no effect. 

The why is probably to maintain a consistency across tests. The how is anybodys guess. I’ll just assume it’s one guy with a garden hose. 

Incorrect. It’s the same DSG as the Q5. I’ve worked on more than enough on that dog shit. Cross compare things like the mechatronix, transfer box, fluid and filter, etc. and if you take one out, there’s a nice big Audi stamping on it. Porsche didn’t make a dedicated PDK for it. That’s why they have transfer box and…

Good thing the market is flooded with wagons…. Oh wait. 

Here to shoot down the god awful decision of the Macan. DSG and transfer case failures are enough reason to not tow with that thing. Not to mention the issues with the V6T in those. 

Eh. Not really. It’s hardly an amazing car, but it’s pretty reliable and is transportation. Unpopular opinion for an enthusiast site of course. 

There’s a serious misunderstanding that goes on when people think “off road”. Especially in the US. For some reason we all just think off road is only rock crawling. Which is weird.

So will a Solara. You can get a to b in much better ways for the price of a Lexus SC. 

Lol a majority of the “writers” here are shit. Im not going to stroke any egos or make people think they’re special when their churning out articles they can’t be bothered to do any research on. But shitty “takedowns” pay the bills I guess. It’s funny you guys are so gung ho to defend mediocre blogging as…

Eh. I’ll get a reminder that I have an account and come back in a year. And somehow be surprised it’s gotten even worse than before.
