    Interesting, I remember AMG had also said it would have hybrid performance tuned auto's. Guess not yet.

    True it has piano black, but then it looks 21st century not 20th century. That e-class and what I am looking at on the web site just already looks dated. Sorry do not get what you think is so great about their interior.

    Looks like a black circle was put over it for who knows what reason. E-Class? Really, I honestly do not know so as to why I am asking, if it is the E-Class this just proves that MB can build garbage like everyone else.

    WOW, I know I have seen some shaby dashes from everyone but this one does make me shake my head. Category for $1000 Which model of MB is this dash out of?
  5. G. David Felt
    I will be honest in saying I am surprised it is that high. I feel the 1 Billion in cash is the payoff price GM feels needs to be given to unload the Opel / Vauxhall deal. The more I think about this, the more I hope GM just get's rid of the whole thing and starts a clean sheet approach to offering GM products in Europe.

    I would like to see GM move to a Global set brand, what that end name plate would be, who knows, but it would be nice to see something like Chevy / Cadillac world wide.

    As Drew and others have stated, there is huge over capacity in Europe and the Unions are killing business, profits and the ability to change to more efficient modern ways. I happen to also be one that believes Mary is a very smart cookie. Partner with PSA, let them head the attack on down sizing, expenses, etc. Get it back down to a level PSA and GM are wanting, then sell back their share at a profit to GM. Consolidation is the future as way too many players in a limited growth market. Be interesting to see who survives the next 3-5 years.

    Clearly you were not sitting in an XT-5 since the dash even in the base models are all covered in nice plush leather. Just so you can see the difference, Here is the Current 2017 XT-5 Interior up against 2017 GLC interior. XT-5 Clearly says Luxury GLC says Boy Racer Talking Cheap Plastic, MB has been using the circle cheap plastic vents for ever and you get them even on their ubber overpriced S class.

    Interesting that people dream, being narcoleptic and having extreme sleep apnea, I am on a cpap and even then I never get into rem sleep. Been this way my entire life. I would not know how to respond if I did dream probably. Dreaming is weird,

    Very Cool, as my grandparents and dad always said, we never stop learning and get better with each try. Just doing what you did is far more than most would do. Way to go!
  13. G. David Felt
    Very cool Surreal1272, looking forward to the finished look. Remember to measure twice, cut once!
  14. G. David Felt
    Cool, let us know how the install goes and take a pic and post it of what it now looks like.

    @FordCosworth @surreal1272 Let keep the political in the political section. In regards to a general race base, if you guys want to debate statistics then also do it there. To help you both have your own opinion on race, go here: https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=922 This is the Bureau of Justice gov web site with all the PDF's you can review for your own take on who assaults who or hurts who. Just so you both know, Asian, Pacific Islands, Hawaiian have the least amount of assault, rape, murder, robbery, etc. on each other and on other races. Middle of the Pack is Black, Hispanic, south american, african in regards to the same issues. Highest is caucasian for assault, rape, murder, robbery, etc. Interesting note is that across all religions when broken down the % is pretty even. So no one religion versus another is worse. Exception is Terrorist and this is also pretty even focused across the various versions but has a spike among HATE GROUPS. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO RANDOM THOUGHTS THREAD. Leave the politics in the political area please to you BOTH! Debate to your hearts content there. Leave the rest of this to healthy debate about auto's and the industry. Good News, My Gas seems to be gone!

    I love Chinese food, even when they say no MSG, but it always gives me gas!

    I put up that dinosaur of a 90's G-Wagon Convertible and Raise you the far better Escalade EXT that should have never been killed but both are history.
  18. G. David Felt
    Take some pics please and post!

    https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/mercedes-benz-g63-amg-6x6-six-wheel-debuts.html Based on this story and others which I found. The 6x6 that you talk about would have never happened if not for the Australian Army that approached BENZ and paid to have it created to their spec with a hefty Turbo Diesel. This is when AMG then took it and ripped out the diesel and made a limited run glorified version that was bought up by the Arabs mostly. Mercedes builds great auto's but I will challenge you that they build the best! They have just as many failures and especially among their bleeding edge tech that is fine as long as the auto is under warranty. Luxury car Brand, Yes as a part of the over all GLOBAL AUTO COMPANY that builds from Eco Box FWD appliances to Ubber Luxury brands. Among brand snobs especially in the asian rim you find MB to be considered a Luxury brand only, but then they mostly just sell their high end. America used to be Luxury but now more and more say it is a universal auto company unless again you talk to brand or badge peeps. Europe, that is pretty clear, They see MB as a normal auto company just like Toyota, GM, VW. You need to accept the reality that MB to grow had to stop being a Luxury only auto company and is a global brand that sells from cheap ass FWD Appliances to Commercial Trucks and Vans, Class 8 semi's to luxury and ubber luxury auto's. Just to be very clear, no company is ever the Best! Every company goes through good and bad times and builds crap and what is some of the best options out on the market. MB has build many nice auto's and just as equally as many lemons like every other auto company.

    Makes one wonder how much we depreciate it also based on how much is leased by people wanting to pose as being wealthy. Leasing I believe while having it's clear business points also tends to exaggerate the market of so called buyers.

    Gotta love old Photo's of our Auto Past. Racing on the roof of the Fiat plant in Paris 1923: 1970 Porsche assembly line: Auto Polo, I want them to bring this back, looks like a hoot to watch:

    Yes, two stories are blended here. Ford was all about moving small car production to Mexico, but the drop in sales and changes have changed that and this is what POTUS was all about. Ford is now looking to move small part production to Mexico which is another story. Be interesting to hear how POTUS will feel about this. Especially when those plants are building for other markets.

    Reality hitting home Europe Socialist system is a failure, The gov cannot keep everyone employed and a perfect example of the Union Socialist killing approach is that Mercedes-benz is moving c-class production to the US, South Africa and the asian rim and of course the German Unions are scrambling to try and keep everyone unionized and keep the jobs in Germany. You cannot afford to keep paying everyone on average $67 dollars an hour or $139,360 a year. This makes no sense when you look at the value of a engineer, assembly line worker and janitor. The over paid union protected jobs by the gov will kill companies. Right to work is a better way to go.

    I like this idea, GMC could also do what many of us have always said from the very beginning, Hummer it should have been an Off Road package for GMC. This with a GMC Grill would do wonders for the lineup and big bump in sales.

    I would take one for some play time fun!
