    Maybe a Hummer Package Edition with baby Duramax?

    While not a car, I feel these were under appreciated for what they were. Syclone and Typhoon from GMC

    The mercedes-Benze just built a new store and moved from their old place last year to the new one in summer of 2014 and now this year it still looks this way with tons of Sprinter Vans out front and the cars up on the roof parking lot. Bing View and was the same on Goodle Map too. Google Street View, Not impressive for all the Low end sheet metal, but I will say I wish my cadillac dealership had a building like this.

    We'll the credit for the box delete is a bit disappointing but I can see this being the new delivery and service truck for the industry. Imagen your Oklahoma steaks being delivered to your door in this with a freezer back on it. Or the appliance repair man showing up with a service box on the back full of spare parts. I can also if it was 4x4 liek Zl-1 stated see camper conversions for single or couples. This would be a big hit. GM is probably playing it a bit too safe since they only have assumptions on the up take of these.

    So the 2nd car to the right must be the updated Camero? Kinda looks a bit Mustang like but also does not seem to have that fat wide look. more lean and sleek. A bit of a Shark side Profile look.

    WOW That is such an amazing update to the old 200. Have not seen them around here yet in Seattle but it is pretty and I do like the interior, the best I have seen from Chrysler.

    Funny you mention that now that Line X offers color matched spray on bed liners. http://www.linex.com/pages/2010/bedliners/products/xtra.php I love it now that they match the truck and blend in. I have loved the Line X in my Dakota and swear by it. My Dad has the rubber mat in his Colorado and still does not want to haul stuff in it. Mine looks like new even with the truck being a 98 Dakota.

    Is the Corvette a bad sports car because Chevy makes the lowly Sonic with a 138 hp engine? The S-class is still the best car in the world, regardless of what Mercedes does with their commercial line. This van might sell fairly well too, and they already produce it, so it wasn't like it cost them R&D dollars. You can call it the commercial line all you want, the media see's it as a Mercedes-Benze consumer Minivan. People will do the same to MB as they have done to all other companies. Over time they no longer see the Luxury only line of product, but now they see a modge podge of low cost product that looks cheap, breaks and is no longer associated with the 1% crowd. Does not matter if the S-Class is the best selling top line product now and that is has plenty of breaks due to bleeding edge technology. A billionaire is not going to want to see a low income or middle class person driving a MB badged auto. The whole point of what plenty of people are saying is that MB is diluting their status here in America and soon, MB will be no different than Lincoln, Acura, Buick or even Cadillac and in many cases will be worse due to the low end product line. MB would have done better to bring in the low end products, commercial, etc as another label here to protect their luxury line and status. This will be their downfall and undoing. Same with BMW.

    I have to disagree with you. This will prove to be Porsche Boon Doggle and an executives failure costing someone their job. This is a big waste of resources for them but since they are flush with cash I guess they can afford to waste money. Waste of resources? Yes, I pretty much think you are right, but tell me you don't want to see the 918 Spyder. I'm sure that a lot of people wanted to see this car without a rooftop and, as you said, Porsche can afford losing some money just to meke its clients/fans happy. You are new around here so I give you some thoughts. I am 6'6" tall, I do not fit into anything they make and honestly would rather have a Cadillac V edition of the Escalade more than a small tiny 2 door coffin of a car that Porsche makes. They have some interesting design language but I will never be a customer of their over priced over rated products.
  12. G. David Felt
    WOW, They are truly playing in Ford and Chevy ballpark now. Guess the S-Class is not the luxury class they state it to be.

    Does anyone else see GLA with Infiniti flare here... or just me? Agree you do see the GLA but over all I think Infinity really hit a home run here. The GLA side was nice but nothing to really interest me, now this interests me.
  14. G. David Felt
    Excited that they are doing this, but bummed that they have gone with a very clear coupe look. I want GM to get back to Leading the auto industry in trends and style but being more than just a single design language. I am excited to see more when they show it off.
  15. G. David Felt
    Pretty much like MB, C class is covering and making up for all the Stale outdated bland product lines.
  16. G. David Felt
    Lets admit it, other than the C-Class, MB line up is dated and stale. Sales are tanking and MB is taking their own sweet time to replace these outdated, bland models. I am sure the crazy unions also have a hand in this slow slug change.
  17. G. David Felt
    Agreed but at their glacial pace when will we see it is the biggest question followed by how fast! They are looking more and more like the GM of pre-Bankruptcy.
  18. G. David Felt
    So Could VW be looking at having to do what GM and Chrysler did in the Near future? Me think so in some ways!

    We are importing no oil now so why not enjoy our auto's and move over to even cheaper CNG. No reason to follow Europe with the stupid tax on engine size and a caste system that promises to keep people in a certain role of life. Yes Americans when feeling good will buy bigger stuff, but no problem we continue to grow and drive a solid portion of the worlds economy.

    What is amazing to me is that they claim a 50th straight month of sales growth but this is all on only the A3 and Q3. Everything else had major Double Digit sales loss. Take away their A3 / Q3 line and they are hurting. This product line needs some major refresh help.
  22. G. David Felt
    Fairly solid with only a few negative sales lines for BMW and major ugliness for Mini. Mini S Cooper is what saved Mini's butt. More amazing is the growth of their sales on some very old dated product lines. WOW on the dated series 5, 6 & 7.
  23. G. David Felt
    Solid but interesting to see them blame the fall on the west coast port strike. I say the sales people failed to sell what they had since they seem to have plenty of stock on hand.
  24. G. David Felt
    9 negative growth segments versus 5 growth segments and only 3 that had double digit. I would not say this is a great report for MB but should be raising alarms over the very narrow sales segments.
