Hard to believe it’s been 16 years since Volkswagen launched the Amarok, and there still hasn’t been an SUV equivalent. The body-on-frame truck remains on sale in Latin America, but VW has no intention of turning it into a Mercedes G-Class rival. It also seems highly unlikely that the second-gen…

Why Is The Audi RS5 So Heavy? Let's Look At The Numbers

The new Audi RS5 being 5,192 pounds made me realize something: Almost every performance car is absurdly heavy these days. It isn't just the RS5 or the BMW M5—two cars that got a lot of flak—but every single super sedan since the dawn of the hybrid era has become grotesquely overweight.
