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.

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…...

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. As of this week that's now changed, at least if you live in Los Angeles. If you do, you are now able to browse for all of the dealerships' inventory, including certified pre-owned and used cars from any brand. Browsing Amazon right now, I spy Mazdas, Subarus, and BMWs, among other brands. You may be wondering: if you don't like it, can you just box it up and ship it back to Amazon like normal? Actually, you sort of can. Amazon gives you a 3-day/300-mile return policy…...
