    If I were AMG, I would go with Dual Electric motors and a Small solid generator to give it a long range. This engine would kick ass in a properly tuned AMG. AM Racing Engine 560 Lb Ft Torque 420 Hp That would give you 1,120 Lb Ft Torque with 840HP in an AWD Hybrid with generator to give a decent long distance drive.

    Ouch, this just increased the Billions they will have to pay and the amount of auto's that will be recalled. Buick Envision, you are looking really nice right now as a replacement for a TDI.

    That is way too funny! Wow, the owner must just be killing himself and the cost to clean it up.

    Check out the Buick Envision. I love that compact CUV. My sister is 6' tall and with her in the drivers seat, all 6'6" of me can sit behind here totally comfy with plenty of room between my knees and the back of the seat. This CUV even in FWD only config is just awesome. So quiet and comfy. I cannot say enough good things about it.

    @Suaviloquent My Friend, BREATH, Yes BREATH, Climate change is real, yes we need to change how we do things, but we do not have to go all radical in just a year or two. 10-20 or 30 years can work too. BREATH, Just BREATH, It will be all ok. Hands off my meat, I mean it!

    Cool tech, as the panels get better and better, you end up having longer drive range, better for self charging and just so many more things this can benefit.

    Got it, sorry, did not realize that about that purple disk. Will know for the future. Weird the posting thing though, glad to help find the bugs.

    In this while it is personal choice, I have to again disagree with you as you are looking at it from too much of an American only attitude. Volvo is moving production to China since they are owned by Chinese. The Chinese, 1/5th of the worlds population reads top to bottom, left to right, much the same way Japan, Korea and so many other asian countries read their language. This is also why when you look at the asian rim you find so many cell phones much larger than the small phones you find in the US. Their characters and approach to reading is very much vertical. I think Volvo did a smart thing, they are going after a much larger market and giving the end users what they want. With large screens taking off worldwide, much of your 40 and younger crowd look at things in a portrait mode not a landscape mode which is very baby boomerish. The only exception to this is movies that everyone watches in the 16x9 format. Again what Lincoln has done here is nice, but they were too conservative and I think bailed on pushing the edge for redefining luxury sedans. By the way wings, I do agree with you that the S class implementation of the dual large landscape screens comes across very much buickish in nature which is surprising that they would fashion after a mid level luxury auto, but power to them if they sell well.

    I agree to disagree. A screen that can be found in the Ford Escape, Explorer, etc. is not luxury to me. I expect luxury especially when you are in the upper end of 5 figures and especially hitting 6 figures to be much better than this. I work everyday as a computer engineer on multiple screens and they are not that bright in auto's, yet I do understand that for some that are not used to it, then they can be. In all this is what I work on daily! Otherwise, I like this boat of a car and do think it will do well for them. Much better than what Lincoln has had in the past.

    Your MB has one long large screen Volvo V90 had dual large screens Tesla of course has dual large screens So why not have large easy to read screens. I do not find them bright or a distraction like others but I do think it gives you a better way to customize the info you want to see and still access basic auto functions / features.

    Hey has anyone else seen this, in the report bill just posted about the update on the V6 TDI, it says 71 post, and my response is on page 3 but nothing else shows. I clicked on page 1 as my screen capture shows but nothing shows up. Very weird this upgrade is.
  12. G. David Felt
    For those they do not buy back, they better plan on not only fixing them but also paying the owners a large sum to hold onto them. The value is already in the Crapper.
  13. G. David Felt
    True, not everyone can be pleased, but for those in the high tech crowd, screen size is important and considered luxury. Tesla has set this trend and auto's with screens that are smaller than 10" really are considered dated. I listen to the peeps around me here in seattle and they bash the heck out of auto's with small screens all the time.
  14. G. David Felt
    Plus do not forget that while being a interesting technology, they are torqueless! Why would anyone want an S class with a TT4 banger. Ya got to be crazy to spend 6 figures on a car with such an engine!
  15. G. David Felt
    Agree, if we could do Certified used, then a CTS-V would be my choice over the ATS.
  16. G. David Felt
    Very true as no one can sit behind me at 6'6" tall but it does meet the guidelines of what one would pick. Personally I will never own a car, always will be SUVs. Yet playing this game of what would you pick.
  17. G. David Felt
    2017 ATS Sport
  18. G. David Felt
    Maybe VW will leave the segment. They can afford too.
  19. G. David Felt
    Very cool, did not know they had things like that. I grew up with black labs that were trained as bird dogs and I never had a dog take off like that. Yet it does make sense to me. Thanks,
  20. G. David Felt
    What is the big black box on the collar around the dog's throat?
  21. G. David Felt
    Very Cool, Love the Dog, Mans best friend! This is how one unwinds from the craziness of the world.

    With all the electric motors MB is also doing, they have gone back to their early 1900's roots of smooth ultra quiet cars.

    The start of China finally moving all Volvo manufacturing to China. Just wait and they will probably anounce another auto being moved to China for assembly for the local market and to export world wide.
  24. G. David Felt
    F - Failed C - Criminal A - Attempt LoL FCA has learned nothing.

    Be interesting to see with GM having a Global EV auto, Bolt. Who is next to actually deliver a global EV auto. Yes we have lots of options that are announced but actually delivering is another thing. I am actually surprised to not see Ford here with a diverse Global Hybrid lineup.
