Alternative Fuels & Propulsion RANDOM

100%. It looks like a sporty hot hatch. -
If the price of gas doubled in month, would you sell your daily driver?
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in The Lounge
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. -

^ 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. -
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.

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.

I have read the entire conversation.

It would be rough but I think I'd hang on to what I have. I don't know what I would get that I'd actually want that gets enough better mileage to spend the money buying something else. I think I would be seriously looking into the plug-in hybrids though, that's for sure. I think I would look more into driving less and combining more trips rather than buying something else. My current running average since buying my MKC is 24.4mpg on 87 octane. For something I'd want to replace the MKC, I don't see something getting significantly better mpg unless it's a plug-in or hybrid. -
It's hilarious that their renderings only emphasized the blank window piece to look even worse as a one square foot blank now.

GM and Ford need to get out of these unions. Toyota and Honda aren't using union labor and you don't see them with labor issues.- 44 replies

Mercedes > Cadillac.

The same reason most anybody sells a cheap car with terrible margins, to get somebody into your brand and hopefully sell them a step up later because they had a good experience with the first car.

"Just accept that Mercedes is NOT a Luxury auto only company, but have changed into the Toyota/GM" "You cannot be a luxury auto maker only when you are making JCPenny's prices products too." They will not have a lower insurance premium as the car still cost 2-3 times more.

I know. They built a brand we engine.. with a considerable amount less output.
-
And to think GM has moved backwards on output on that engine... Is trolling allowed all of a sudden?

I don't care about the number but the advancing technology to get there is what I care about.

Dear Mercedes-Benz, Please go back to the days where the number behind the letter meant something. Sincerely, Everybody

Boy, does that piss me off..

They'll do the Khols special and just slap discounts all over the place to make the consumer feel like they're getting a killer deal(which they'll be getting the vehicles at about what they should be selling them for, imo).
-
I don't think Mercedes has played the value card since I've been into vehicles. Just offering a small, cheap car doesn't mean it's much of a "value". I wouldn't consider a 33k sub compact car much of a value proposition. Whereas Cadillac is offering much more size/room for roughly the same dollar amount of Mercedes/BMW/Audi. That shows more car for the dollar which is a value proposition, imo.

What about the extraction process for all of these batteries? Isn't that the worst part of the process?
