It was more of a push--- they specifically and frequently told us the best choice was the diesel because god forbid we get less than 70 MPG. Part of that hate/replace-fossil-fuels movement that you don't see because you're on that side, WADR.
Nobody wanted a slow AF Escalade, lol. Shock.

It will never work hard enough to kill it aka 500k mile truck.

What side am I on? There are no sides lol. When have I ever bought a car based on what fuel economy it gets? Never once.

Car and Driver's legacy isn't pushing slow cars just because Uncle Sam wants less fuel used.
It's all so ridiculous anyway, just all of it. How many jets are above us, the continental USA right now and always????? They don't run on milk.

I just don’t register or care what any of these magazines or reviewers tell me I should buy. Like you said, nobody bought the diesel so clearly most people don’t care either. I don’t see what the big deal is. If magazines bother you just don’t read them. I don’t, I get all my reviews on YouTube now.

The RR is unibody and more Carlike. They’re a little smaller, lighter on their feet. Easier to drive day to day in an urban/suburban environment.

Tacky overall. Front styling looks like a Star Wars X-Wing Fighter.
The bigger the interior screens, the more clogged traffic will become. Triple the distraction. When today's lights turn green, no one goes forward anymore. Fiddling with electronics.

Theyre fiddling with phones, not vehicle screens.

But several, several legit publications pushed the diesel over the 6.2 whether you read them or not, or care or not.
I've never really driven a RR, and I'd like to... but I don't want to waste anyone's time.
