That movie series definitely jumped the shark. Nothing worth watching again after T2, which was a great flick. I recommend self checkout for that one. The cashiers there will try to put that in a plastic bag and you’re just going to rip the handles grabbing it.2 points

The Biarritz came about when the prior convtertible-only Eldorado gained a hardtop in '56. Then; Seville=hardtop, Biarritz=convertible. In '61 the 'E' went back to being a convert only, was still called the Eldorado Biarritz thru ‘64. In '65 the series moved to become a sub-model; the Fleetwood Eldorado. This went thru at least ‘75. In ‘71 the hardtop reappeared. In the first year the convertible 'E' was gone, ‘77, the Biarritz returned and became-yes; a top level Eldorado luxury trim package. In '84, the convertible reappeared, but I see both a Biarritz hardtop trim and a Biarritz convertible mentioned for that year. '86 was the year of the (again) downsized 'E', handsome design but just. so. small. BIarritz package still available. By '92, I don't see it in the brochure; it was the Eldorado and the Eldorado Touring Coupe.1 point

The ‘first attempt’ with maybach had zero to do with Mercedes; they were competitors. The company failed and Daimler merely bought the rights to the name- there is no connection to the prewar company. Factually speaking, this is the 2nd attempt. That said, as it is marketed as a ‘mercedes maybach’, it certainly is lacking the ubiquitous AMG version every other model down to the shit box econocars have. Why? “People have money, just build it, margins would be huge”.1 point

@smk4565 this hurts, MB best selling GLC is not getting the love in the new release. As they say, one step forward and one giant step backwards. Mercedes-Benz GLC review: one step forward, one step back for this popular family SUV http://flip.it/erXKDL1 point

It's a lot of power for a 4cyl, but it's still just a 4cyl.1 point

Corvette also sells for a price tag worthy of its powertrain...ONLY its powertrain...Corvette is NOT about fancy interiors. Porsche and the 911...was not about fancy interiors either. They decided to go that way... But you know what? The track focused 911s have dime store interiors too...but Porsche GOUGES its customers. They TAKE AWAY shyte and the price tag goes up and the 911 guys just lube up their butt and take it! You dont know why Corvette HAS to beat or at least equal its 2-3-4 times its price competition? Are you for real? STOP TROLLING!!!1 point

Stop the condescending tone, dude... You aint as smart as you try to act like you are... Audi engines....ARE VW engines... Even Bugatti's W16 is based on VW's VR6 design.....which Volkswagen engineered anyway... And it ONLY makes sense since Volkswagen and Audi and a host of other brands is under the Volkswagen Group umbrella indirectly owned by the Porsche family who have the majority voting rights in the company... And it only makes sense since its expensive as hell to have every brand engineer its own engines. To have bespoke engines for every model in every brand. VAG...for the most part...puts corporate engines with different tunes in their models and brands....not much different to what GM does... Why is that a detriment? Only in YOUR mind it is. Corvette HAS to outperform its competition or come close to it...when price tags are concerned. Cadillac need not sell its Vs under that premise. There is no need to outperform the competition for Cadillac. But there is a need for AMG and M to do so... Vs could get by to equal their competiton...no need to win N-Ring times. AMG and M buyers will NEVER consider Cadillac either way...BUT...when Chevy kicks their ass, they get embarrassed.... Cadillac is also part of the GM umbrella...and like I said...Chevroler sells NO high performance SEDANS. Only 2 two door sports cars. Cadillac has NO two door coupes in their line-up anymore... SO you've moved the bar...now its high performance CUVs...but Chevy sells none of that either... As far as GM's CUV/SUV goes...Between Chevy and Buick and GMC and Cadillac...all their CUVs and SUVs are worlds apart from each other. Denali Yukon and Escalade are similar, but sooooooo different at the same time... GM has done an excellent job of distiguishing their CUVs and SUVs. There are some in here that bitch about that, but in reality, GM's CUVs and SUVs are well distinguished from one another.1 point

What I really want to see is the torque curve.... what's the torque output at say 1,500 rpm? That will say a lot about drivability.1 point
-
Why such low (peak) torque compared to peak horsepower? This is the opposite of what any engine should be. It's too bad other automakers' 4cyl engines have the same set of characteristics. Too bad GM will not build a (non-truck) version of the 3800/3900 to replace the 3.6 V6. Horsepower is great but torque is actually required.1 point

He might be a nice guy, IDK, but he looks sort of douchey in the photo. Agreed he should not take the fall if procedures were in place before him.1 point

Let me make it VERY SIMPLE for you guys... Imagine that VWs have better engines and better performance than Audi. How is that going to work?0 points

The Corvette has a dime store interior. But not sure why Corvette must beat competition but Cadillac does not have to. Maybe that is why Cadillac is a mess.-1 points
