Airglide is meant to be soft and get softer when the road is rough. Magnaride is fairly stiff and gets stiffer when you want it to handle sharp. Two different beasts3 points

in 2018 Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari each spent about 400 million dollars on their F1 teams, next one is 310 million. The rest are spending half of that or less. While Hamilton is a very talented driver, if you look at team standings it is about proportional to what they are spending (except McLaren, they just s@ck). I am sure if Toyota or GM decides to spend 500 million on F1 team they can beat MB.3 points

I like that Lincoln is going back to air suspension at least on this vehicle if not others also. One of the things I liked most about my '85 Continental was the air ride.2 points

I was just rewatching Grand Tour Season 3 and there was an episode were they tested three European trucks, Ranger, VW and Mercedes Benz. So after they used the bed to carry some heavy stuff on each of them, MB rear bed sides got bent so badly they could not close the rear gate. Didn't happen in Ranger or Amarok. Basically after torturing all three of the trucks they said MB was "rubbish", Amorok was ok but the only one they liked was the Ranger.2 points

The last few days were pretty hot and so humid here...high as 96 on Saturday. My glasses would fog over when I stepped onto the back patio. Not quite as gross as 115-120 in Phoenix summers, but bad enough. Supposed to be 70s-80s this week. 64 and rainy at 10 am now...loving it2 points

Yes, heat sucks, was 84 here today, supposed to be the same tomorrow, not till Tuesday do we get an on shore push of air to cool us into the 70's and that is still too hot for me. ?2 points

I think that system where it looks ahead and adjust suspension for more comfort was first introduced on the S-class. I guess pretty neat feature for luxury vehicles.1 point

It makes it arguably the best looking hybrid family sedan on the market once it hits dealerships.1 point

Interesting, since it doesn't show a solar roof.1 point

Literally everything you watch would be the exact same. Coincidentally, those teams are no longer around.. ? Do you also only want your Cleveland Browns players to have been born in Ohio?1 point

I watched that episode and the problem is the Nissan Navara that underpins the X-class. Which is why it was a sales dud. A 100% Mercedes truck would do better but they don’t want to put money into something like that.1 point

Don't understand GM's obsession with super high belt lines and claustrophobic interiors where the center console is taking over the cockpit. Not particularly innovative.1 point

Without reading through four pages of comments what I have to say is it's another Chevy put together with the cheapest plastic bits and bobs they can find and marketed as something great. I post this as I'm having another unnecessary issue with my Chevy product. To be fair every car maker is building them with the cheapest bits and bobs they can find. However there is absolutely no excuse for the issues that I've had with 80,000 miles on the Chevy product. Oh back on topic. Is the new Corvette cool? I'm sure it is. I'm also fairly sure it's built like a $5 Mattel toy.1 point

Having driven these extensively...the difference in packaging, seating comfort, fit, finish, and silence...with that new interior, and a turbo, is the kicker. Off road. On road. The refinement...is the wow...vs. so many other competitors. I've now put almost 4,000 miles on a brand new loaded 2019 Forester 2.5i...and had nothing but compliments on power. Bizarrely, too, it's hard to even tell it's a CVT...it's tuned that well. Some complain "but the fake steps...". No. In reality, unless you're super hard pushing it, the latest versions simply turn into a quicker responding step on it and go unit. New platform. New balance. DI 2.5L. My Forester loves to hold on and rev...and lifetime average of 29.1 mpg...pulling hard. It'll roll, and pull past others. Guess having them from 2 miles and driving properly...works... The Outback now...is the refined winner. Yesterday...iPhone remote starting my Forester to be frigid inside...setting EyeSight cruise...and rolling 100+ miles getting 30+ mpg...then throw it into a corner and hard throttle out... It is a world difference vs. my last 2 years in random rentals. I still miss my Grand Cherokee...but that's about it...1 point

F1 is more about he machine, Max Verstappen is one hell of a driver and he rarely wins because he has a Honda engine. Red Bull does well with aero and tire wear, but that car is not on par with a Mercedes.1 point

I've never had any interest in F1 racing. F1 and modern era NASCAR are events about the DRIVER, and that's fine if that's what you like, without question. But I'm not a 'driver guy', I'm a car enthusiast. F1/NASCAR cars are very very tightly rule-bound to the point of being all the same. It's 'go-fast re-badging'. It's like trying to make a point between WWII Jeeps being built by Ford, or Willys, or American Bantam. Inconsequential.1 point

Ford brought the GT back to Le Mans. Chevrolet would need to do something different than that to compete in Europe. Ask most people in the US who owns a Mercedes to see if they ever heard of Lewis Hamilton. So the question has to be asked - was the C8 built just to compete in the US against foreign marques? Or is it going to be sold as a world class super car? If it's a world class super car, then where will it go to prove its chops?1 point

Well I did not view the first version, but the one posted currently is well done. I give it two thumbs up and a roundhouse kick!1 point

I think for a lot of people that are buying a Ferrari, it is their fourth, fifth and n-th car. It is very possible that these people that bought a quarter million Ferrari to carefully garage it and occasionally drive it to a local golf club would be interested in the "cheap" sub 100k mid-engine Vette that they can actually not to be afraid to drive in anger.1 point

Sounds to Voice is perfect now. Only thing to do now to finish the polish is use a diffuser in front of the mic to keep the pop from your voice when you start to speak. This will blend out what we all do when we start talking, the natural pop in our voice. Nice Job Drew, you took a marketing video, added your own twist with a pleasing background music and clear information about the new models. Excellent job, more companies would benefit from a delivery like this over the hyped up fast n furious cut cut cut cut cut puke of info in less than a min approach they are using today. ? ? ?1 point

Yup, his brand has like 1 trim of vehicle that will be able to hold a candle to whatever trim Vette throws down all while having like 10 priced above it. Even the AMG GT R isn't as quick as the C8, taking both manufacturers for their word.1 point

Better... I'd say "much better" but the original didn't leave too much to be improved on.1 point
