The world's largest automotive criminal conspiracy (Volkswagen) recently flew all the usual domesticated so-called journalist car reviewers all the way to South Africa so they can reiterate Amarok PR talking points orbiting the fake Ford Ranger clone.

Mercedes-Benz will soon, metaphorically at least, snatch the performance of your new car off the street in broad daylight to be held for ransom - behind a paywall subscription model. You'd better find US$1200 in non-sequential notes and await further instructions. Oh, and don't think about calling the FBI. This is a hostage negotiation.
