    Cadillac has 3 VSports and 2 Vs (IIRC). Mercedes is going to have FORTY-EIGHT AMGs. Do you REALLY not see any difference? Because Cadillac is weak. As are Infiniti, Lexus, Acura, etc. Mercedes for years has been the best at smooth ride, bank vault solid luxury. So now they decided to be the best at performance too. This is about sticking it to BMW and Porsche. They don't want people going to the former Ultimate driving machine or to Porsche for their performance luxury car, they want them. These are big spenders that Porsche conning to spend $1,000 on leather trim air vents. Now these people will buy superior Mercedes-AMG's. I have seen plenty of examples of MB being anything but bank vault solid luxury, but for sake of argument, they are and you are OK with them leaving the Luxury department and becoming another version of Chevy or Ford with all their models?

    If I was Lincoln, I would pull a page from Tesla and offer something special to the first 40K customers who are willing to put down say $1K dollars. Then you see who is really interested versus being a buyer. I wish Chevy would do something like this for the BOLT.

    He said they would be "cheaper & faster" than ICE cars. Are you saying that's the case in the areas you mentioned above? - - - - - There are real AND perceived disadvantages to the EV that will take FAR more than a decade to overcome. IMO, EVs need to reach 20% of vehicle sales to be an established, recognized segment. Right now, they are an extreme niche, akin (in sales penetration) to convertibles, maybe less than even that (IIRC, converts sit around 1.6%??). Imagine all the hype/buzz RE Tesla...instead talking about convertibles and how they're going to "take over". Most manufacturers have one, people like them…. At the rate EVs are going sales-wise, we're looking at at least 25 years to come close to 20%, not less than 10. According to government statistics, the West Coast is already where people think we will be for Charging stations, DC rapid charge and sales. Current Statistics are as follows: California leads North America with 24% of new auto registrations are plug in Hybrids, 32 percent were pure EVs for 2012 the latest full year of detailed auto registrations. This is followed by Florida, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Hawaii, Tennessee all having new auto registrations of Hybrids and pure EVs that run at just above or below the 10% mark. Meaning new auto registrations in these states are approaching 20% of new auto sales. The overall green state winner is Washington state where power is in abundance and 100% renewable due to the excessive Hydro power, wind generation and sea generation of power. Washington state has their 5yr plan for pushing plug-in hybrids and pure EVs. EV Action Plan Washington State Here you get incentives to purchase and own the following models: EV Models: BMW i3 • Ford Focus Electric • Mitsubishi i-MiEV • Nissan Leaf • Smart ForTwo Electric Drive • Tesla Model S PHEV models: Cadillac ELR • Chevrolet Volt • Ford C-MAX Energi and Ford Fusion Energi • Toyota Prius Plug-In

    So Five of the 1974 Chevy Nova 454 7.4L V8 then or would you rather have the Buick GS Stage 1? You're supposed to also ask, "would you like fries with that?" Would you like Fries, Onion Rings or deep fried Mushrooms with that?

    Hello Smokey, He was the Bandit! He got Frog and he ripped up the Highway in his Trans Am. Oh wait, that right you are probably too young to remember the Smokey and the Bandit movies.

    But the X3 is up 190+% and the Mini Cooper /S CLubman is up a earth shatering 51750%.
  8. G. David Felt
    So both MB and Smartcar are down but guess that is OK cause Sprinter Vans is up, so a wash then on MB's whoring out it's product line?
  9. G. David Felt
    And that is why you see crazy discounts on all their products including the HUGE discounts on S class.
  10. G. David Felt
    Yes they do seem to be this cheap and that is no different than a returned Leased Tesla S model. they drop big time in value like MB do's.
  11. G. David Felt
    Yes they did con 390 people with the MKT!
  12. G. David Felt
    Ouchy.. we're on opposite sides on this one! haha But at least we are both on the side of a passion for the auto industry!

    Why is Chrysler not red since it is down? A bit surprised by the BUICK number as that I figured would be at least even. Cadillac is also a bit of a surprise. Fiat is to be expected and alfa is also down though I understand the current rating..
  14. G. David Felt
    Wonder how much Stupid Sergio comments about the Dart contributed to the drop in sales? On top of this, I expect nothing but continued sales losses for Alfa and Fiat. Garbage in garbage out. Sergio will just continue to rape Jeep, Ram and Dodge for the profits to waste on his stupid pie in the sky brands that are not worth bring back from History.

    Makes to much sense to waste it on Smk. Its almost as crazy as people who say that the Camaro and ATS were gonna be cross-shopped. Brands be damned.. they are two totally different vehicles. I don't look at a Mustang and think.. "what's a 3/4 series have to offer" What you do not think a Ford Mustang GT500 or Camaro Z28 should be cross shopped with a BMW M4?

    Stupid MB has truly decided to become a CHEAP ASS auto company, no different than a Ford or Chevy. Just turned their product line into a mass crapo series of style numbing stupidity. Where is the luxury auto maker that MB used to be, clearly not that now.
  17. G. David Felt
    It's a Pig with Lipstick and it has been punched in the face with that ugly front end. FAILURE, there is nothing they can do to fix this ugly auto. The BOLT is far superior to this POS.
  18. G. David Felt
    Having to choose, it would be the Aventador as the Enzo is but ugly. Over all, hard to really love any model from Ferrari, rather have a Lambo.

    2006 LTZ Edition 2500 Suburban with 8.1L V8 1974 Chevy Nova 454 7.4L V8 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 455 7L V8 1969 Cadillac Deville 7.7L V8 375 PS 1967 Chevy Camero 454 7.4L V8
  20. G. David Felt
    My understanding is that with this being a limited production run signed by Burt Reynolds that they probably already have all the gen 5 cameros that will be built and this is why it is not on the 6th gen.

    After watching that Video! The car is UGLY, CHEAP Looking and just nothing more than a big disappointment.
  22. G. David Felt
    We'll so much for the web site working. https://model3.tesla.com/ If this is the true car, I am not impressed. Reminds me of that ugly french car that I cannot think of the name of right now, but they have them in canada. Had a cool early hydrolic suspension but was butt ugly like this car.

    Toro is a Compact truck and that is what RAM and JEEP should do, NOT a Mid size truck. The market has enough mid sizes, a Compact is what the market really needs. Stop trying to copy GM, Blaze the trail with a Compact Pickup.

    +1 Reg, I totally agree that the Blue Laws from the Prohibition era need to Die. It should be the right of a business to be open 7 days a week just like it is the right of a person to shop 7 days a week. GOV needs to stay out of dictation what, when and how you can shop.

    Compass was a feminine looking terrible cuv. Patriot is what it needs to be called here in the US and retire the stupid Compass name. This smells of more of Sergio's incompetent leadership.
