    Yes, Yes they do from those fuzzy things called balls to the ground. So 30x30 we could call you Orbicular or Cubicular then. jk

    Your right sounds like that piss Budweiser Lite crap they sell.

    WOW Lovely Bullshit of what you imagine AMG will build but has not done so to date. Plus, you must have taken extra crack since you are now again with moving goal posts comparing AMG to the whole ATS / CTS line. Apples to Oranges or in your case, Germain to American. So other than MB showing how many Badge Snob Idiots buy their products lets look at the facts of their auto's: Rear leg room between ATS and it's equal german counterpart? Same! Will not waste time listing so many more examples since we all have seen how you will move the goal post and flip to something else to play the do not look in my failed left hand, look at the shiny new bauble in my right hand. If I did not know better, you have really taken after all the idiots in DC and around the country that has massive eclipse blinders on.

    I totally get what you say Balthazar, I cannot see MB giving up totally on ICE as there are too many markets that will have zero EV infrastructure and even though some gov's have set the line in the sand for the death of ICE, I bet it will get moved. At least many companies are now moving forward and it will be interesting to see how they compete especially with Tesla.

    @oldshurst442 @balthazar Yea, it is a European love fest, but I posted it to see what others thought before I stated that. Shame only a few Domestic auto's made the list.

    Good Chinese Double Speak. We not interested, but in reality, if we can push the price down, we buy! If you have ever been to China, they haggle like crazy and never take first, second or third offer.

    Looks like an intercooler in the pics for the turbo system. Exhaust is a joke as you can clearly see they increased the size of the exhaust tips but the pipes are small. Talk about blind spots on those rear quarter panels. Over all Meh, to this updated version. Probably still tiny inside too.

    Most Beautiful Cars List: Have to say about 25% I disagree with but the rest are right on! http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/revealed-the-worlds-most-beautiful-cars/ss-AAppoCX?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1

    Agree, I can see a new Chinese owner dumping everything and moving to their own unified platforms. Especially with a focus on Hybrid and EV's. This implies to me that the Big Hemi's are in their last Hurrah!

    Yet per their own announcement, MB only gets 7 auto's as Smart is to get 3 EV auto's.

    WOW, about time, not everyone wants a loaded Tahoe. They should have had this from the start. This also makes me think that GM is finally realizing that they have hit a top end in pricing and are going to lose customers like everyone if they do not offer lower priced options.

    Got it, I am the opposite, 40" inseam. So long legs.

    One of my favorite pictures is the BOLT Skateboard.
  14. G. David Felt
    With EV's, I can truly see this happening as the complexity of ICE goes away, the skateboard concept allows one to really make radical changes to the body fast, build it, then bolt it to the Skate board and plug in the power / communication connections.

    What I do not get is why waste effort putting 3 models on the Smart lineup? MB should learn from the mistake Toyota made with Scion and just merge Smart into the MB brand, have the EQ lineup being as I stated above. EQ1 - 2 person EV car EQ2 - 4 person EV car EQ3 - 4/5 person CUV compact EQ4 - 5 person CUV Mid Size EQ 6 - 7/8 person 3 row CUV EQ7 - 7/8 person 3 row full size SUV EQ-T - 5 person EV mid size pickup Since I never understood the naming convention for AMG versions, you can just add a W to the end of each one for WARP mode. This way MB saves money on the wasted Smart branding and advertising, though I never have seen advertising for Smart cars and they keep their idiot naming convention for their new EV lineup of auto's.
  16. G. David Felt
    I figure they merge Smart into the new Generation EQ EV lineup from MB.
  17. G. David Felt
    This makes me think this is a stop gap measure only till MB has EV's in their own product line and then Smart is retired much like Toyota did with Scion as they absorb the 2 person car into the MB badge lineup.
  18. G. David Felt
    I like that Idea Smart 1 - Current 2 person car. Smart 2 - 4 Person Sedan Smart 3 - 5 person CUV Smart 4 - 4/5 person Crewcab mini pickup.

    BOLT still the better deal, actual price per the web site is $24,550 for a 58 mile range EV with only 110/240 charging, no fast charging or level 3 available. Charging time is 6hrs / 3hrs or 80% charge in 5hrs / 2.5hrs depending on 110 or 240. This has zero appeal as even the web site says range will diminish with heater or AC use. So you really might have a 40 mile range auto. If living in the city, then maybe, but as a commuter car, no the BOLT is the much better pick for an EV.

    I would so totally agree but the wife likes me in Tommy Bahama Polo's with the collar down. Ultimate Yuppie Song
  21. G. David Felt
    Does that mean I should not be wearing polo shirts with the collar up?
  22. G. David Felt
    But Yuppies are all entering their 50's, so a 5 series is where they are supposed to be at this age, not the 3 series and the 3 series lost it's driving Machine cred's to the ATS! Yuppies are out of date in regards to the lower end auto's and Millennials are now all about the EV, Smartphones and using Uber or Lyft.

    Both are pricey with no V8. Makes one question the value of buying new rather than waiting for a Lease return and getting it used, low miles and hopefully with the V8.

    @FAPTurbo Nice write up, good to get another persons perspective on these little Joules! So at 6'3" do you consider yourself long body and short legs or long legs short body? Just wondering based on your comment of how you fit in the 500e?

    The whole Chinese thing makes me wonder if it did not start with an advanced race visiting this planet, finding it nice and deciding to setup living here only to fall into decay and loose their advanced ways with their emperor system, etc. Before god existed and Christ became all the rage and the bible was written by man, there was the Chinese and their advanced way of doing things. The time line I find interesting as you can look at many version and they all have one problem. The constant rediscovery of certain things like the Kite. We have many unsolved advanced items found on this planet that carbon date back before Christ, his father Yahweh or god or Jehovah and all the manipulation of humanity by corrupt humans supposedly working for god and his church with a drive to take your hard earned money. Aztec's, Peru, Egypt, the list goes on with many advances and some very strange unresolved old artifacts that make one wonder just what happened to these places? How did certain items come to be when Humans were so un-advanced? From old Baghdad Batteries, to The Antikythera mechanism – a Greek ancient computer, The Sacsayhuaman walls and more. http://www.zmescience.com/other/most-amazing-unexplained-artifacts/ We must continue to challenge ourselves and get our butts off this rock to explore the universe. Otherwise we die. DC has proven this with the old stagnate keep it the same and do not work with each other thinking. Maybe it is time for a new Revolution.
