The dumb thing is that CARB has publicly available specs for automakers to follow. All the other automakers followed them from the beginning. VW knows what specs it needs to meet, but hopes that it'll win a staring contest instead

If you read jeep garage, there are many threads about problems with these engines.
I was immediately bothered @ford USA after driving the wonderful current GEN Mondeo wagon. Can you imagine one of those things in a fusion sport TwinTurbo V6 config?
You don’t need that much power in stop-n-go
Next year, yes. Not right now.
How else are you going to justify maybach prices?
This car makes me sad because it reminds me that Toyota used to have some imagination and panache in some bygone era. (Hell, even up to the supra turbo/ previa s/c days in the 90s)
I’m assuming it’ll buff out.
You know, if they rolled over the updated nose to this car, it could be the compelling car it was originally meant to be.
Based on dimensions listed, you forgot the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Nissan Patrol/Armada.
Don’t ride, but I feel like this adage can be made for drivers of cars too.....I mean, before collision mitigation becomes widespread
Definitely not a top safety pick. Good riddance to the old ford platform.
ABC scares the crap out of me. Even my newish car’s airmatic drone on startup constantly reminds me what type of repair bills I'm in for once my 7yr/100k mile Mercedes warranty runs out in 6 years.
Why not get the full experience? We have plenty of places in the the Midwest/ south (definitely for sure NOT where you live though) that could use a good nuking, you know given that most of those states are net moochers of federal funds and the coastal states need to subsidize the roads, infrastructure and industry.…
It’s the hood to greenhouse proportions and setback.
E63 wagon S-AMG has it. My current gen e350 4matic has it.
The biggest travesty is that there is no 4xmotion in the US. You can even get a low gear in the cayenne, ML and Grand Cherokee; but VW cut it out in this version for US consumption. Otherwise, the car would’ve been quite a gem, even in V6 form.
In this case, Unlimited mileage warranty really means 5000 miles + 6 months in the shop
The sampling sizing is miles driven, not by year. In that case, anomalies have pretty much been normalized already.
