Explorer is also considerably bigger than Highlander and MDX, so there's that too.

It's easy to say "why is it so hard" through a 2019-colored lens. Back when MFT/MLT was still in production, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay didn't exist.

Well, sure, I predict that too. But... 1) I don't expect the transition to be seamless, and 2) Will they be bought to be kept open as a brand (like the PAG brands), or will whoever buys them raid their R&D for their own benefit and say to heck with the service centers?

So, say Tesla goes under some time soon... What happens when current owners need that proprietary service?

*whispers* ... and, for now, Bentley...

There are three V6 models. If the lawsuit doesn't specify which one.....

Tesla Model S (base w/AWD) is slightly heavier than BMW 740e Hybrid and Audi A8, despite being significantly smaller otherwise than either of those cars. Nissan Leaf weighs about the same as the upcoming Escape Hybrid, despite the latter being appreciably bigger. Electric motors and batteries are not inexpensive, and they definitely don't save as much weight as you're insinuating.

Tesla is to Apple as everyone else is to... everyone else.

Or, even better, keep the V6 and turn it up a bit. ?

To be fair, the Nautilus is pretty much a facelifted MKX. That aside, to your point, since the ATS was pretty much just refreshed into the CT4, are consumers supposed to believe that the same car went from a 3/C/A4 competitor to an A/A3 competitor based on an MCE? GM is really GM'ing themselves into a corner here...

At this point, we should just start considering "this is GM" a reason in and of itself. ?

What was so wrong with Vsport that they had to get rid of it?

Exactly. I fall under the millennial descriptor and I'm soon to be 36. I have a career too. Imagine that. ?

I know about A3, Q3, and TT, as well as Q4 e-Tron. But A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Q8, and R8 are not related to any VW models. Four out of thirteen models that share platforms does not a rebrand make. For the record, I'm completely in agreement that Lincoln is not simply a rebranded Ford and should not be considered such. Someone somewhere said that only the Zephyr deserved that criticism in recent years - and rightly so, IMO.

This is true. Well, because this is objectively largely false. ?

I'll vouch for you, sir.

They absolutely did that. I used to buy CR between 2006 and 2008 and they recommended the all-new 2007 Tundra without hesitation "because of their reputation" but refused to recommend the all-new Silverado and Sierra because "they were too new." This was all within the same magazine, I should note. Our feelings here about GM aside, this was an egregious display of inconsistency and bias by the magazine. I haven't so much as picked up an issue off the shelf since, except to move it out of the way because it's blocking something else I want to read.

I'm young enough for this to be the only Alpha 5 I acknowledge...

At this point, it could be for the same reason that Nissan produces the Titan and Toyota builds the Tundra. As a concession/an offering to fans of their brands who want to stay loyal to the company. In GM's case, not just Cadillac but the whole umbrella.

That's a pretty nice Maxima.

I hate that I skipped right over that line...

I can see why. It's apparent Ford only showed it in focus groups here as mere lip service. If they weren't already planning to kill it here in favor of more SUVs, they would have done a lot more with the, ahem, redesign.

I found this line kinda humorous and sad... Translation: "When it was launched there, in the current generation - which could have happened in the US if not for SUVs"... Is Brazil throwing shade at us or just speaking truth? Or both?

JMO, but the outgoing model looks better.

Audi-Porsche-Lamborghini-Bentley?
