4+ mon, 6+ day ago (493+ words) Avtovaz, the maker of the Lada, is thinking of switching to a four-day workweek amid poor sales.

Sure, one could haul a Mercedes hatchback in a Mercedes artic, but they don't live next to each other in showrooms, whereas you could drive away from a Toyota dealer in anything from a 65mpg hybrid supermini to a straight-six manual sports car " or an off-roader with a ladder chassis, a live rear axle and a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel. The Toyota Land Cruiser helped build the Japanese brand's reputation for solid engineering, and although it has become a bit of a niche thing in Europe, elsewhere it's still massive. You can take that literally: in some markets, Land Cruiser is its own model range, including the 4.6-metre-long Land Cruiser 300 Series…...

3+ mon, 3+ week ago (443+ words) If you live in Los Angeles, you can buy certified pre-owned and used cars from any brand through Amazon Autos, though only from Hyundai dealership inventories. Back in December, when Amazon Autos finally opened to the world (well, certain cities in America), you could only buy new Hyundai models from participating dealerships.

Actually, you sort of can. Amazon gives you a 3-day/300-mile return policy…...
