They mention the brand of the car because the liberal paper is trying to create a narrative of their own. They are trying to portray the woman as a rich spoiled elitist brat irresponsible gun owner and the homeless man as a poor honorable dignified man. I'm not sure what type of person either of them are. However, the paper just needs to report the facts and let the reader decide. But you're right if it was a Ford they wouldn't have mentioned it.

You can bet that if the car was an EV, the story would not have even been published

Ah, good old "D-FENS" ... what a portrayal ...

I'll never happen because of the horrible concealed carry laws we have here. So you'll never see mentally imbalanced Porsche drivers shooting homeless people and leaving them to die here. Yeah, she's a stupid idiot for what she's done. Definitely mentally imbalanced and should have have a concealed carry permit. Hope she does some serious serious time in prison for what she's done.

Sounds like she was in the car in relative safety, then got out of the car to argue and shoot him. Should have just driven off.
