How do the glc/gle/gls do vs the Ford and Lincolnz combined? ?

Just like mercedes does a good job of dressing up the e-class into their s-class, right?

Cadillac, Lincoln, Acura & Lexus provide their customers products they want. Products they potentially chose over BMW or MB's hundreds of 'same sausage' CUVs. Why haven't the Germans triplets put all these other brands out of business years ago?? And what you said above about infiniti is the same thing you said about Lincoln like 2-3 years ago.

Dad traded his old Impala for a brand new 2020 Equinox 2LT AWD (which means it's a 2.0t). Very happy for him, he deserves it.

I'm surprised the Colorado/Canyon are on that list. They first reappeared in the fall of 2014, and haven't had any major changes since. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME, GM hasn't worked through any initial bugs YET? I'll bet the bulk of complaints/troubles are coming from the 8-speed automatic's behavior. My truck is closing in on 10k miles, and the transmission seems to be smoothing out, the complaints I had about it are going away. Maybe it takes that long for it to "learn" how to behave. Weird.

Nice...reminds me of my drive from Phoenix to Cleveland (2100 miles) w/ 6 dogs in June 2017 in my '14 Grand Cherokee. Did it in about 50 hours straight through (about 5 hrs of stops for gas, food, getting the dogs out, dozing). I-40 was so boring going across the void... I'll never do a drive like that again without stopping to stay in a hotel for a full nights sleep each day. It was physically and mentally exhausting. My sister is currently on a 1200 mile drive from Cleveland to West Palm Beach, Florida for a 4 month contract gig down there (she's done with the weekly flying for work, just too worn out from it).

Yes. I have done this trip (in one direction or the other, sometimes both) five times now. For some reason, something flips the “truck driver” switch in me and I just keep driving. I get pretty dialed in for the most part. My wife said I must have been a truck driver in a past life lol. Having said that, I’m hoping to not have to do it again anytime soon if ever. At 47 years old, it is getting more laborious on parts of my body. This was the start of the trip up I-17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff.

Well, after 33 hours and 2200 miles on the road, I can safely say the Flex rocks for long drives. Left Phoenix on Sunday and showed up in Greensboro, NC Monday night with about 45 minutes of sleep in the middle lol. The Flex never flinched and it never wore me out. Even the cats I took with me, did great (save for puking after coming down the winding part of east I-40 after crossing into NC. Couldn’t blame them for that one. Any more of it, and I would have done the same damn thing lol!

Totally agree, This is probably one of the best well sourced Wiki pages about the history and the relevant digital version today of Encyclopedias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia I love the clear factual sources on this wiki page. If I was to have kids today, as my son is 32 and Daughter is 36, I would sign up for the digital Britannica access as you constantly have the latest valid sources for school use. Makes a great gift to Nieces and nephews too.

It’s actually closer to 20% of total RAV4 sales for the year and it also shows a 70% increase for the year over this time last year. They are selling all they can produce. I’m surprised you missed that little fact while disparaging it ?
