  1. That appears to be a "baby Bronco" as you can see the independent rear axles and it also has those FWD proportions.
  2. "That $90,000 includes overtime and fat profit-sharing checks. Last year's GM profit-sharing was about $14,000 per employee. Ford's was $7,600; FCA's was $6,000." "CAR data said that since 2011, UAW-Detroit Three profit-sharing checks averaged about $6,600 per worker at each of the companies. That's equal to about an additional $3.18 an hour. " https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2019/09/13/uaw-contract-talks-deadline-strike-gm-ford-fca/2266631001/ Still, $90,000 before benefits. That's a lot of money for pretty damn unskilled labor.
  3. Mercedes doesn't do anything that GM does other than manufacture automobiles.
  4. Yes, but my suggestion would be a way to smooth over the transition. Plus, what Drew said is a major factor. "GM claims that it is more than generous offering the average hourly employee roughly $90,000 per year, which does not include top-notch benefits." I don't think they NEED more to do quality work. That is VERY good compensation.
  5. The wider center console is the biggest giveaway, that's the C Class. I think that is probably more telling of the A Class as the C Class' interior has been praised by most automotive journalists. Pictures also don't really tell the whole story with an interior. Anybody can make hard plastics look good in pictures. My biggest issue with their interior is with their infotainment control. From what I saw recently in a video it is 100% controlled from the "mouse" and is complete garbage to control. That would be an instant deal breaker and would send me to one of the other 5 vehicles in its respective class.
  6. Yeah, C Class FTW in this segment.
  7. But Mercedes does with the G550 -> G63! In fact, they get $23,000 for an engine upgrade.
  8. Shut them down. Offer them their same job, same pay, same benefits they currently have back to them but all new hires things will be what they want.
  9. tElL iT tO cCaP. hE sTaRtEd iT.
  10. Oh I have zero faith the interiors on the CT4 and CT5 will even match the C or E Class. Those two are known to be tops in their respective segments.
  11. Well, I think it is well known that the "real" V-Series is yet to show itself. So ti isn't exactly like putting a turbo 4 in place of the SS's V8. If they priced it at 30k, why would anybody consider an A Class? Smaller car, much weaker engine, and it costs almost 3k more?
  12. Everybody look at @surreal1272 He's at it again. No chill from that keyboard. i'M gOoD. sOrRy fOr AnY eScAlAtiOn oN mY pArT.
  13. Your opinion on "cheap ass version auto's" is a starting price of $32,500? Our opinion on "cheap" is vastly different. The average transaction price of "entry level luxury cars" is over 42k. I know we all have varying opinions on things but I don't know anybody who things a $40,000 compact car is considered "cheap". https://finance.yahoo.com/news/average-car-prices-more-1-110000010.html Isn't it a little larger? If it were to be the same price but offer more room and better engines(save for whatever the "real" V-Series comes out as), how isn't that better than the ATS?
  14. Ahhh it was just the intentional troll comment.
  15. Yeah, it would have to be better than using the mobile site. I'm not a huge fan of that and thus why I only post when on a computer(desktop/laptop).
  16. Jesus, dude.. simmer down. You're over thinking this waaaaay too much. My initial response was to @dfelt anyway. My mental note is you go nuts over the smallest of things.
  17. Read my edit comment.
  18. Use a better source.
  19. 100%. It looks like a sporty hot hatch.
  20. Yeah the difference between premium and regular is quite significant itself. It's ~$0.60/gallon here. That would be almost $8 more per fill up for me(roughly 13 gallons). Give or take some, that alone is about $400/year.
  21. ^ yeah, for the price difference in vehicle(owned vs buying) $600/year will never pay itself off. Then again, that can be said for almost every single purchase where somebody justifies it by saying it gets better fuel economy. Even 20mpg vs 40mpg probably doesn't pay for itself unless you're driving 25,000 miles per year when comparing to already owning a vehicle.
  22. What do you mean alleged examples? Scroll back to the 2nd page. Those are copy and pasted. They're 100% wrong and trolling though. I'm not actually harping on him for doing it. I get it, we all knock on brands and things here and there. I assume he was joking and my response was also sarcastic. No harm, no foul.
  23. Well, i'm not going to pick through everything you said. It was about 2 pages worth of comments between everybody. You asked a pretty simple question and I simply responded to it. Uhhh.. No it isn't.
