Corrections and Clarifications

An earlier version of our Jaguar column said the tops of the Type 01's doors are finished in brass. Jaguar's release says the finish is brass-inspired, and that the palette is influenced by travertine stone. An influence is not a substance. One of those words names a metal; the other names a mood. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Volkswagen brief called the evo5 2.0-liter the most powerful Atlas engine ever. Volkswagen's claim is the most powerful Atlas Cross Sport engine ever. That fence is Volkswagen's own, and a fence a manufacturer builds around its own boast is not ours to widen. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Dodge column presented the Super Bee Launch Edition's six-tenths of a second in the quarter mile as a gain over the 2026 Scat Pack. Dodge labels that column "vs. 2023 Super Bee," and every figure in it is measured there. A delta belongs to the baseline it was drawn from. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Hyundai brief counted 10 Red Dot awards and a Best of the Best. Hyundai's release says 10 awards, including one Best of the Best. The prize is one of the 10, not an addition to them. A subtotal counted again inside its own total is a prize nobody won. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Dodge column called the Smokescreen Concept's 4.4-second 0-60 mph time NHRA-certified. Dodge's release puts that certification on the quarter-mile, 12.9 seconds, and on nothing else. The two figures sit one comma apart in the same sentence. A certificate belongs to the number it was issued for. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Deep Orange 17 column gave the prototype's weight as 1,213 pounds. Clemson's release says 1,212 pounds, alongside 550 kilograms. The higher figure is what 550 kilograms becomes when a desk converts a number already converted for it. One pound is the difference between reporting a weight and recalculating one. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Hyundai brief called the Namyang facility the Additive Manufacturing Solutions Center. Hyundai's release says Solution Center. The plural belongs to the Additive Manufacturing Solutions Team, the people inside it. One letter is the whole difference between a building and the staff in it. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our 2027 Toyota bZ column gave the cargo volume behind the second row as 28 cubic feet. Toyota's release says 27.7, without the subwoofer. Three-tenths of a cubic foot is the distance between a measurement and a rounding. Toyota measured. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Kia brief reported that sales through Kia retailers rose 8 percentage points in July. Kia's release says 8 percent, year over year. A percentage point is the gap between two percentages; a percent is a change in a quantity. Kia counted cars, not shares. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Toyota TRD Pro brief printed the 2027 Tundra and Sequoia dampers as FOX enhanced QS3 shocks. Toyota's own release prints FOX® enhanced QS3. The symbol is the property line around a supplier's name, and a magazine that erases it has quietly handed the part to Toyota. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Lucid Gravity brief gave the Grand Touring's output as 839 horsepower. Lucid's own footnote reads 617 kW (839 PS). PS is metric horsepower, and a European unit converted in silence is not the manufacturer's figure. The number did not move. The unit did. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Genesis GV60 Magma coverage gave the car's output as 641 horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque. Genesis states both are available in Boost Mode, which it calls a temporary increase. The standing output is more than 600 horsepower, which Genesis's equipment sheet prints as 448 kilowatts. A mode is not a machine. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our brief on the 2027 Ram Heavy Duty said the trucks go on sale in August. Ram's own availability line reads "in dealerships this August." A sale requires a price, and Ram has published none. Arriving and being for sale are two different mornings. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our report on the JD Power 2026 APEAL Study gave Ford's result as "849 points." Ford's own figure is an index score, not a point total. An index score and a point total are not the same measurement, whichever brand's number gets the wrong one attached to it. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our report on HSBMA's Bartow County cell plant gave the start of commercial production as July 20. July 20 is the date Hyundai announced the start. Production began June 1. Both dates are Hyundai's own, and standing one where the other belongs moves a factory seven weeks. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Split Decision on the fully redesigned 2026 Lexus ES gave the new car's wheelbase as three inches longer. Lexus states 3.1 inches. The tenth was not rounded away, it was discarded, and a tenth of an inch is either in a wheelbase or it is not. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our report on Hyundai Motor Group's AllDayEnergy rendered one of its services as "Vehicle to Home," the hyphens dropped. Hyundai hyphenates it: Vehicle-to-Home. Without them the phrase is three nouns standing near one another; with them it is a direction the current travels. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our report on the Ford and Geely joint venture in Valencia put the plant's potential annual capacity at "500,000 vehicles." Ford's own figure is "about 500,000." The word is Ford's, and to drop it is to turn the company's estimate into our promise. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric coverage rendered a speed figure as "170mph," the unit shoved against the numeral. The figure is 170 mph. A number and its unit take a space between them; the release's own "385 feet" keeps it, and so do we. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our 2027 Nissan Z coverage rendered the returning NISMO transmission as a "6-speed" manual, the count clipped to a numeral. Nissan spells it out: a six-speed manual. A numeral counts the gears; a word commits to them, and a manual is a commitment. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Lincoln Rejuvenate coverage rendered the scent as "Sunlight retreat," the second word set in lowercase. Lincoln styles the name with both words capitalized: Sunlight Retreat. A proper name does not shed half its capitals at the door. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Acura Google Gemini coverage rendered the ZDX's eligibility as "MY24," the model year clipped to a code. Acura writes the year in full under a "Model Year" heading: 2024. A model year is a designation, not an abbreviation. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Ram Heavy Duty coverage rendered the engine as a plain "HEMI" V-8, the registered mark dropped. Ram prints "6.4-liter HEMI® V-8," and the desk keeps a maker's registered mark on first reference where the source carries it. A symbol is not an ornament. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our 2027 Corolla Hatchback coverage rendered the engine's torque as "151 lb.-ft.," the unit clipped to an abbreviation. Toyota spells it out: 151 pound-feet. A sentence is not a spec sheet, and a unit written into running prose is written whole. The abbreviation is for the chart. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our BMW M Concept coverage rendered the architecture as "800V," the unit collapsed to its symbol. BMW writes it out: 800-volt technology, the word in full. A letter is not a unit, and the V was ours neither to supply nor to abbreviate. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Hyundai coverage rendered the model whose 2026 version Hyundai is skipping as the "Kona EV." Hyundai calls it the Kona Electric, and a vehicle wears the name its maker gives it, not a shorthand the desk finds tidier. Electric, not EV. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Porsche half-year coverage rendered the 911's year-to-date gain as "56.3%," the figure closed with the symbol. Porsche wrote it "56.3 percent," and running text spells the word, as it always has. A sign is not a word. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT coverage set the dateline "Auburn Hills, MI," the state rendered as a postal code. In a dateline the stylebook abbreviates Michigan as "Mich.," and has for a century. A dateline is not an envelope. The two-letter stub belongs on the mail. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our 2027 Crosstrek coverage called Subaru's sales network a chain of "dealers." Subaru keeps no dealers. It keeps retailers, about 640 of them, and the word is the company's own. A maker's chosen name for the counter that sells its cars is not ours to overrule. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our GRMN Corolla coverage rendered the circuit "Nurburgring," the umlaut stripped from its name. It is the Nürburgring. Two dots are not decoration. They are the difference between the name a German circuit answers to and the misspelling an English keyboard settled for. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Land Rover Discovery coverage rendered the tow rating "8,200lbs," the numeral shoved flush against its unit. House style parts them: 8,200 lbs. A space is not nothing. It is the breath that keeps a figure from swallowing its unit, and it was ours to hold. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Fiat Topolino coverage set the phrase la dolce vita in plain roman type. It is Italian, and a foreign phrase on first reference takes italics: la dolce vita. Left upright, it passes for a loanword the language has not yet taken in. The lean is the point. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Toyota San Antonio coverage rendered the new Tacoma line the plant's "2nd" vehicle assembly line. AP style spells out an ordinal below the 10th: it is the second line, not the 2nd. Two characters saved is a rule broken, and below ten the word is the only form the reader is owed. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our BMW X5 coverage listed the drivetrains as "combustion, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen." AP style closes a simple series without the comma before the conjunction: plug-in hybrid and hydrogen. The word and already ends the list; the comma set before it repeats work the conjunction had done. It was not ours to add. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Audi Q7 coverage said the panoramic roof's glass blocks more than 99 percent of ultraviolet radiation. Audi gives the figure to the decimal: more than 99.5 percent. The dropped half point is the half the maker bothered to measure, and it was not ours to round away. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Nuvolari coverage capitalized Audi's all-wheel drive as "Quattro." Audi styles it quattro, lowercase, the one proper name the company declines to grant a capital. A small letter is not a small thing. It is the maker's own house rule, ours to observe and not to overrule. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Phantom Regatta coverage spelled the commission's Gallery artwork "Watercolor." Rolls-Royce names the piece Watercolour, in the British spelling the marque uses throughout the release. One vowel is not a flourish. It is the maker's own name for the work, and ours only to reproduce. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Ram TRX coverage rendered the engine a "HEMI." Stellantis styles it HEMI®, with the registered mark the name has carried for years. The symbol is not clutter. It is the line between naming a brand and borrowing one, and that mark was Ram's to place, not ours to drop. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Subaru Brataroo coverage rendered the flat-four's torque as "680 ft-lb." Subaru gives it, correctly, as 680 lb-ft. Torque is force applied at a distance, pound-feet, and the order is not decoration. Reverse it and the notation names something the engine does not do. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our Audi Q7 craftsmanship column rendered the 2.9-liter engine as a "V6." AP style sets the hyphen: it is a V-6. The mark is not ornament. It binds the configuration to the cylinder count, so the reader sees one designation and not two stray characters jostling on the page. We omitted it. The record is corrected.

An earlier version of our review of the 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata described the detent of the manual shifter's gate, at the two-three crossing, as "crisp." It is not crisp. It is decisive. Crispness implies a brittleness, a sound, a thing that might one day wear soft. This detent does none of that. It commits. The distinction is not small to those who reach for it ten thousand times a year, and it was ours to get right. We regret the imprecision deeply, and have corrected the record.

An earlier version styled the German entry in the Mercedes-Benz x KidSuper show the "300 SL Coupe." Mercedes-Benz styles it the "300 SL Coupé," with the acute accent the word carried over from the French. The car is unchanged; the absent accent is not nothing. A name is a small thing, and small things are the whole of our remit. The record is corrected.

An earlier version said the 2026 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study drew on 78,514 "buyers." The count is right; the word is not. J.D. Power counted purchasers. A purchaser signs and keeps. A buyer, in plainer usage, is anyone who walks in, and the study did not survey foot traffic. The record is corrected.

An earlier version called the detent at the 2026 Mazda MX-5's two-three crossing "crisp." It is not crisp. Crispness implies brittleness, a thing that might one day wear soft. This detent commits. It is decisive. The distinction is nothing to a driver who shifts twice a year and everything to one who does it ten thousand times. The record is corrected.

An earlier version rounded the 2026 GRMN Corolla's preliminary curb weight to 3,219 pounds. Toyota gave it as 3,218.7. A company that removed two seats to save sixty-six pounds did not arrive at three-tenths by accident, and three-tenths is not ours to round away. The figure is 3,218.7, preliminary, and it was ours to print whole. The record is corrected.
