  1. I agree that a 2.0 turbo in a GLE is nuts. Yes it can get a sub 7 second 0-60 time but I am sure it revs like crazy to do it, and the inline 6 gets the same mileage. I hit a deer last November which totaled my E550. I did a 2 year lease on a sales demo C300 because I am waiting for EV's to get better then I am going EV and never going back, especially if the Bozo drives gas to $6 a gallon. The 2 liter mile hybrid is totally fine for a C-class (or GLC) not fast or exciting but more than adequate to get around. In a big SUV I think it would be a dog, and VW doesn't have electric assist. Although not like a Taos is fast either. And probably why EV's will take over easily when batteries get cheap. Even weak EV's like the Bolt are much faster than a garden variety 4 cylinder crossover and 1000 times better NVH.
  2. Just a happy moment when my 12 year old self lives and enjoys itself.
  3. That may be the case but the volume from Ford alone makes my case when bringing up Hyundai/Kia ICE reliability versus their competition.
  4. Nissan and Volkswagen and even Benz need to get off this 2.0T thing for vehicles that are too large for it. Hyundai/Genesis, Ford, GM, Toyota, all have 2.3T - 2.7T going and that extra bit of displacement seems to make all the difference when moving around a 5 ton barge like these three-row crossovers. Yes, they still sound like ass, but at least they can move.
  5. Is there a manufacturer that isn’t having major engine issues lately? I think Subaru cleaned up their gasket issues. Mazda seems pretty safe, and…. That’s it?
  6. The VLE probably has better interior space for passengers than a GLS or Escalade, and can offer roomier seating like a big first class airline seats. Better kid hauler too. But this won't sell in the US. Probably works in China. I don't know what the price is going to be, but I feel like people won't pay it, they'll buy an SUV even if it doesn't suit their needs as well.
