It’s like the Giulia owners who claim their 6 month old 8,000 mile car is reliable because “it hasn’t had any issues yet!”

I’m not justify what Subaru is doing at all, but that is par for the course for all carmakers. You hear horror stories of dealerships trying to weasel their way out of warranty work all the time with all of them.

Mild hybrid tech is actually pretty cool. It doesn’t require much battery and it consolidates the starter and alternator into one unit. It provides a nice low end boost which would allow for upsizing turbos to have a more favorable power band for high performance cars.

The Q7 is cheaper than the X5. It’s a bit longer than your typical midsized SUV, but it’s not really in the same class as the GLS, X7, or real Range Rovers.

Not that I would, but the LX is based on the Land Cruiser so it is actually good at what class of vehicle it’s in. Of course, most buyers will never take it off-road or tow anything, so that doesn’t matter. Also, similarly equipped, the LX is probably just a touch cheaper.

Would pre-delivery planes already have livery on them?

Maybe someone crossed the road there. Regardless, this is a pretty simple case of a rear-ending with the rear-ender at fault. Whether or not the 488 should have stopped or not, the F50 should have been able to stop as well.

Durango SRT 8700lbs. Close relative of the Grand Cherokee. I used to have a JGC and always wondered how the Durango had more towing capacity seeing as they were mostly mechanically identical.

Yeah, even some unibody SUVs can pull over 8000 lbs. I’m sure this monster can do much more.

I think in general car enthusiasts in general are strange individuals.

Obviously Charlotte one of the large airports of America, but it has half the passengers of Atlanta/LAX/ORD. How does it have so many flights? I’m guessing it has a healthy number of regional flights?

My knee-jerk reaction is the exact same. But are we, as people who love V8s and V12s going to criticize people from preferring something they think looks cooler than a minivan (and let’s be honest, SUVs do look better than minivans)?

Maybe Lexus has market research that shows a new LFA would sell. Considering all the money Toyota has sunk into R&D for it, it’d make sense for them to make a revision with a more modern transmission and tuned up V10. The reason Lexus lost so much money is because of R&D costs. If they can sell a few hundred of these…

Believe it or not, going to the track is not always about beating the guy next to you. You just go out there to have fun. And I’d have a lot more fun with a manual transmission than an automatic.

Considering the droves of people that move there and love it, I figure it’s a fun place to live. You probably have to be very rich to raise a family there, though.

My point is they do write articles or blurbs about ordinary cars. But to keep the lights on they need to write a disproportionate number of articles about exciting cars that no one actually buys.

If it had a Buick badge on it, the domestic car faithful would be claiming it is just as good as a Mercedes.

There are plenty of reviews about real cars. The problem is real cars are boring. That’s why you’ll see a lot of sport sedan comparisons, sports cars, and supercars being reviewed. That’s what sells magazines and that’s what people want to see. Outlets like Consumer Reports or U.S. News do great jobs of reviewing…

Judging by how much it offset the real car on impact, I believe that test car was weighted like a real car. It was probably set up with a simulated crumple zone as well. I’m assuming one of the premier auto parts companies in the world knows how to simulate a test crash.

I’ve driven both and the SS kills the Charger SRT 392 in handling. If you didn’t notice much of a difference you must have prosthetic limbs.
