On the BMW 6-Series, for instance, Parking Assistant is a standalone $500 option -- and it doesn't complain when it's too cold outside!

@John, As I look at the data, the Fit didn't quite make it into the top ten for a couple of subtle reasons: One of them is that its gas mileage (by the official EPA ratings) is a step below some of these other models.

@John, well put. Those are exactly the main advantages of such a system -- especially in a truck, the ability to provide full brake cooling when needed (when towing a trailer and heading down a steep grade, for instance). On a massive truck like the F-150, 2 mpg on the highway is a big deal.

Thanks Bill, and definitely a point that can't be emphasized enough. There is of course some subjectivity in our scoring system (obviously with respect to Styling and Comfort, but in other respects as well); the best approach is to read through our detailed full reviews and then use them as a starting point, applying your own personal shopping/ownership priorities (and aesthetic preferences) to that.

Unfortunately packaging isn't going to change to that extent. But we do expect that the next-generation small Honda hybrids will be very different, with much-improved mileage.

Adam, the former base DX model has been dropped, but alloy wheels aren't standard on the new LX base. Get the EX or EX-L and alloy wheels are standard.

Hi Hector,
The interesting thing is that when Chrysler introduced the Journey, it effectively replaced their short-wheelbase Dodge Caravan. Many shoppers seem puzzled about why minivans have grown so large, and that there's a lack of vehicles that park more easily yet have sliding side doors. A number of people within the industry insist that there isn't any demand for this (the Mazda5 is one of the only vehicles like this), and that people prefer the larger hinged rear doors, but I don't agree.

Thanks, Brandy, and corrected.
That reference should have been 'in a single *week*' -- to correspond with the other mention and this piece:

CD Speed, Blankenship was clear in our interview that Tesla has a set margin with every Model S and it will keep to that -- so I'd expect this to prevent gouging as well -- although raising the retail price itself is Tesla's alternative if demand is hot.

Hi Anne. Tesla does indeed directly employ a number of people at each of its stores. Rather close to publication time, we asked Tesla for information on wages for those product specialists. So far, our query has gone unanswered (adding to the piece for clarification).
