Is 267mph the same as 300mph?

At least it can be bought in lower trims such as the Sport.

Is a diesel engine not perfect for the Wrangler's natural habitat, off-roading?

It's a pre-production model anyway so this one is forgiven..

Taycan is here. It looks "pretty good", imo. I do fear for Tesla as Porsche is a giant or at least has giant money and I think this will eat into Tesla pretty hard unless Tesla has heavy updates coming soon to the Model S. I have to believe the quality control over at Porsche will have them in a much better position than Tesla. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28899036/2020-porsche-taycan-photos-info/

When is Mercedes going to go after 300mph? They can't even get an engine to run clean...

^ Good lord, VW...

I disagree PERMITTING they worked to get the proportions correct and not having super long front overhangs and such.

Yeah, whenever the 2nd gen came out it was FWD-based. To go with that, FWD isn't as bad as it once was either with computers.

A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR front wheel drive vehicle? Hell. No. The X1 was RWD...

Well, we can do a little calculating and get a pretty good estimate of how many AMG SUV's Mercedes is selling. Or, as some would call them, hot hatches. First, Mercedes last said in 2017 that AMG sales make up 10% of sales. https://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17048/amg-makes-up-10-percent-of-us-sales-for-mercedes-benz Next, let's look at their SUV sales. 2018 GLC sales: 69, 729 - 10%: 6,973 AMGs 2018 GLE sales: 46,010 - 10%: 4,601 AMGs 2018 GLS sales: 21,973 - 10%: 2,197 AMGs That's roughly 13,771 "hot hatches". Not a negligible number considering the cheapest of those START at $70,800(GLC 63). FWIW GLE 63's start at $110,200 and GLS 63's start at $126,150. On a down year the Vette sold 18,791 units in 2018. Personally, I see that as a "hot hatch" market to go after. SUVs are hot and performance SUVs are selling and selling at huge dollar amounts. I know I know.. I'm just giving hell to one of those vehicles I dislike oh so much.

In all fairness, those are really ugly in comparison...

Wouldn't those then be the first automobiles? If they weren't creating them then there would be no catch-up needed.

Well, when one throws out the word "need" and you go back to the roots of it... It quickly becomes a "want". At this point of the economy and life automobiles are absolutely a need in one fashion or another. But, when they first became a thing and everybody was used to not using them, they were a luxury and everybody was okay and used to using horse and buggy for transportation.

I have actually always wondered what happened to my old vehicles.. I was/am mostly curious about my 04 Mustang Gt that I sold to like a 16 or 17 year old. I assume it was wrapped around a tree or went through a crowd of people.

I know it was an improvement but it was still never a NEED. Everybody wanted to expand and grow but they never needed to.

I completely agree and I'm going to assume that is true until I see otherwise. It just doesn't fit the size. I'm not sure why but it just doesn't.

The rear looks good but I'm not a huge fan of the front end on the Escalade's size.

This is when I've found them the most useful.

Yeah, you can get a AWD R/T for 46k. Yes, please.

And a couple grand more you get V8 noises.

It would be very difficult not to buy a Grand Cherokee at this price/size range.

I've been over the 0-60 time for awhile now. I know it isn't as realistic but I feel like it hits more points and that's the 1/4 mile time and mph. I feel like you get an idea of the initial grip, mid range power, high end power, and multiple shift changes. I know the overall measurement itself is pretty meaningless but it gives you an idea of a few different measures that you may be interested in.

I cannot agree more.

Jalopnik isn't a credible source.
