Do you actually hate the sport of football or how the league/government use it? The owners DEFINITELY can afford to build their own stadiums. But part of them asking for money is because they're used for WAY more than just football games which(supposedly - I tried to look it up and I see responces in both directions) bring money back to the city and/or state. Love College Football, have come to hate NFL, Over paid babies, Over rated league with owners who think a cast system is society cause they are better than everyone else and NO, the stadiums DO NOT get used for other things that benefit the tax payers, the stadiums get used for Concerts, monster truck shows, etc that the NFL owners get to charge for and take people hard earned money. Every study has shown that tax payer supplied stadiums DO NOT return the money back to the cities and people who live in them, then you have the stupid politicians who give up sales tax, maintenance costs to allow even more money into these 1/10th of 1% people. The money should be going into our students and the education of society not into the uber rich!.

Football Sucks, Owners need to refund the tax payers money they stole for their palaces. They can afford to build their own stadiums and they should not get tax dollars for the stupid palaces.

Car and Driver Tests CTS. Car and Driver Likes CTS.
So by Comparison as SMK will say C-Class is best in class as he thinks all MB is best in class no matter what, I grabbed the current 2015 C-Class interior photo to match up and compare. Personally there are some nice things about the MB as there is for Cadillac, both are acceptable, but I do like the flow better in the Cadillac than the MB which to me has a boy racer look to it and seems to be disjointed in the floating nav and the reminds me of Ford trucks, cheap plastic circle air vents.

Poll: Up votes/Down Votes
I personally rarely down or up vote but when I do I then also follow it up with a post of my own explaining or stating my feeling about something. I personally think if you are going to down or up vote a post, you should post a proper response on why you did it so others can understand why and so that it continues the discussion to better inform and educate the over all people who are following the thread.

Chevrolet News:2016 Chevrolet Malibu To Start At $22,500, Arriving At Dealers In A Few Weeks
Yet what you miss is that the Mazda 3 and Focus have low torque engines that have to be rev'd hard to get them to move and then they are lackluster at best, this engine with a butt load of torque at a low RPM will move this car just fine and still have a bit left over to passing with driver, 4 passengers and a load in the trunk.

Hey how did you photograph one of the Mad Max auto's that are not trashed yet? JK, I actually remember a photo like this about an auto that had a 6 wheel early type ATV. Weird Climate change, Saturday was 84 and still no breeze, had a barbecue with friends on the deck and it was lovely. Repeated it with family on Sunday and we had to eat inside, was only 68, windy and drizzle. Such is Seattle life.

Honda News: Uncovered! 2016 Honda Civic
That would tend to go against marketing then of having customers move up as they grow up themselves from a basic compact to mid size to full size and pay more for more luxury. So I cannot go with the car grows up with the customer.

MT: The Escalade V Is Coming.
So the G63 G wagon weights in at 5622lbs with 536HP and 560lbs of torque in awd with Twin Turbo 5.5L V8. This equals 97.45hp per liter. Top speed 125mph. http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/model/class-G/model-G63 Current Escalade is 5840lbs with 420HP and 460lbs of torque in normal awd with a NA 6.2L V8. Current Escalade ESV is 6040lbs with 420HP and 460lbs of torque in normal awd. I do not see a problem with taking the Escalade to a V edition with the Supercharged 6.2L V8 with 640HP and 630lbs of torque. This equals 103.22hp per liter. Easy to beat the performance of the AMG G Wagon. Interesting to see the comparison of the escalade to the MB GL off cadillacs web site. http://www.cadillac.com/crossover-suvs/2015-escalade/competitive-compare.html

Honda News: Uncovered! 2016 Honda Civic
No Problem Olds I have always wondered why companies feel the need to grow an auto from one class to another besides the jones jones race of others added a few inches so we must also. Yet then they end up having to introduce a new auto when the existing one no longer fits in that segment and they need one to fit. We saw how in the 70's and 80's they grew and bloated auto's and ended up having to kill off the car. So the new accord grows to become from mid to full size, the civic grows and goes from compact to mid size and the fit goes from subcompact to compact. So what will the new "FIT" subcompact car be?

Why GM should NOT build a DOHC V8
Very interesting, I suspect if we reviewed all automakers, we would find that there are plenty of engines that had far better Torque curves but due to bloated weight of the auto they were thought of as lacking.

So what you are saying is that more people are dumping their MB auto's than American Name plates.

Honda News: Uncovered! 2016 Honda Civic
FAIL and they say software is bloated, the auto companies are on the 70's-80's attitude of growing every auto, we now have AUTO BLOAT!!! The Civic needs a diet in the worst way possible along with getting ride of the Metal Mouth front end.

Why GM should NOT build a DOHC V8
I also think it would be a good comparison. Thank you. Awesome guys, that is really good input and I know many of us would love to see those comparisons. Would be good to do this in a Mustang vs Camaro 4,6 & 8 comparison chart of current models.

Make Your Best Truck
I like this idea but lets add one thing I think GM should have done long ago, take from their Vans, the Mini Stage Coach Doors with Flip up solid glass window. This way you get maximum vision with the ease of access from the Mini Stage Coach Doors. The Vans had them, why not the Suburban. Dump the solid full size lift gate that most people cannot open without an electric motor.
