Editorial

Editorial standards.

Independence

Marque does not accept payment to include or exclude a brand, model, dealer, or product. Sponsored content is not run. Manufacturer relationships, where they exist, are disclosed in the relevant article.

Sourcing

Every numeric claim — MSRP, depreciation percentage, ownership cost, dealer count, sales figure — must cite a source. New-vehicle MSRPs cite the manufacturer at time of publication. Used and CPO pricing ranges cite KBB, Edmunds, or Hagerty depending on segment. Auction comparables cite the auction house. Estimates are flagged as such.

Dealer referrals

When a buyer submits a quote form, the lead is routed to the relevant manufacturer-authorized dealer in the buyer’s market, or — for brands without local representation — to a verified independent specialist. Routing logic is disclosed on every form. Marque receives a referral fee on completed introductions; this is disclosed where applicable.

Corrections

If an error is found, Marque corrects the page and notes the correction in the page footer with a date. Material corrections (incorrect pricing, mis-attributed quotes) are flagged on the page.

AI policy

Marque uses AI-assisted research and drafting tools. Final copy is reviewed and approved by The Marque Editors before publication. AI- generated content is never published without editorial review.

Bylines

Marque publishes under the collective byline “The Marque Editors.” Individual authors are not bylined; this is intentional and is part of the editorial structure.
