  1. The GT isn't designed to be used as a daily driver in any way.
  2. It isn't custom. It's a la carte from Porsche.
  3. Changing paint and wheels can cost $7000 on a 911.. That gives you 0 miles of increased range and 0 seconds quicker to 60mph. If you want "club leather" it's another $6000. That's Porsche.
  4. I assume it means that if you trade in your Mustang they're taking an additional $3,000 off? Is there any year limitation on this? I feel like you could go and buy a POS 80's fox body for a grand or less and trade that in.
  5. Yeah, it's a Porsche and their up-charge per item is absurd.
  6. I'm not sure why people are still afraid of a smaller displacement turbo engine.
  7. The 2.7T is perfectly fine for the 90% of truck buyers who never hook a trailer up to their truck. For those who do tow, they'll get something bigger, one of their three other engines to choose from.
  8. Also a fair point but wasn't that the "old" 2.0T? I'd assume the new 2.0T will be a little slower being down ~30hp/20tq. Either way, neither is "pathetic" for a base engine. Yeah, I'm definitely not saying the price difference is worth it...just stating that their 2.0T isn't "pathetic". FWIW, my Mercedes was the only vehicle I've had things break on me that wasn't a typical wear item.
  9. I know. it was just the wording of "pathetic" and "4-cylinder". The engine isn't pathetic. Bother are 4-cylinders. I know the 2.7T is a better engine, the car offers a lot more for the money, etc. etc.
  10. Worded that a little biased.. that 2.7 is also a 4-cylinder and the Benz 2.0 isn't pathetic at 255hp/273tq and we all know the Germans underrate their outputs. Anything running a 14.1 1/4(per C/D) isn't considered pathetic...
  11. Those examples can be found at lowly brands like Ford, Chevy, Dodge/Ram, Honda, and Toyota as well. That is nothing that shouldn't be expected with regular maintenance. Is it not obvious that they are going a different direction, pricing it nearly on top of the A Class, nearly identical to the A3, and less than the 2 Series. They are going the route of larger car for the money as the CT4 isn't nearly as small as its similarly priced luxury cars.
  12. They aren't asking German car prices. It is SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS.
  13. Overpriced the base model? What do you think of the A Class then? The V does seem like less of a bargain but then again the C43 starts at 55k so it is still significantly cheaper than that. Hell, an A45 is 53k. I know that's one hell of a car(A45) but that's one hell of an asking price as well.
  14. Oh wow, that seems priced to sell right out of the box. I think they did what all of us thought they should do and price it below competitors(based on size) but basically as much as the competitors(brands) smaller class of vehicle.
  15. Well no, sh!t... I really never thought those would have even been available with the Z71 package or in any color other than white, lol. Well, I'm serous about the Z71 part. That's surprising. I wouldn't imagine spending 34k on a vehicle with that engine. Now I'm curious how many of those 2.5's they move outside of fleets.. It's gotta be a lot more than I originally expected.
  16. It's mostly just for fleet vehicles for a lowest possible price point, I'd assume.
  17. I'm a huge fan of the plug-in hybrid design/concept.
  18. Your choices of vehicles is diminishing by the year.
  19. Something just looks funky about that front end situation. I do really like "Chevrolet" across the tailgate.
  20. I would only assume so...
  21. That would still get pushed back the length of the strike, I'd only assume. 100% agree.
  22. Of course they won't do that. They would need to sell ten times what they are now to even consider separation and even then they wouldn't because it doesn't make financial sense.
  23. That still doesn't have anything to do with Lincoln being on their own or not. Cars or SUVs.
  24. I think the only VW that used the DSG was the GTI/Golf R. It still does, I believe. Oh, the GLI does as well.
  25. I believe they are considerably cheaper to R&D and then something with 8-10 ratios. Ford and GM plopped out CVT's in the past year or two as well. I don't remember what GM put it in, maybe the Cruze? I believe Ford is putting it in the new Escape with the base engine..
