They only test new models. Previous 6th Gen Camaros were already tested.

As much as I lust after 911's, it's always shocking how quickly the MSRP goes to the moon when the most desirable option boxes are ticked.

OTOH, it's also shocking how quickly they depreciate, GT3's excepted, and eventually make possible used car deals for the rest of us.

Car industry: You like driving?
Me: Yes.
Car industry: I will sell you a car that's good to drive for $150k+.

Me: I can't afford that.
Car industry: Obviously, you don't like driving. Let me show you our new line of crossover SUVs.

I was wrong. It has 38K miles on it, but it is also cheaper then I remembered. Would love to have this.

Porn sells.

In this case dream cars, but these sorts of comparos of the unobtainable litter the 'net from cars to aircraft to smart phones to you name it. Clicks and print sales are what matter to MT so the more extreme they seem, the better.

I don't think The 2019 Best Econobox Car Rankings would get attention but more than likely the same blowback for different reasons.

Meanwhile, dream big...
