Best time to get a great price though... Dealerships are slow all winter.

I don't know. They're all going to be turbo 4's and turbo inline 6's, I believe. Every top model engine in this class is pretty spectacular from the TT3.6 in the former ATS-V to the TT4.0 V8 in the Mercedes.
-
Isn't BMW's M3/4 an inline 6 again? Just went to their site and yes, it is an I6 again. I'm not a huge fan of any 6 cylinder noise but it is worlds better than any I4. I6 isn't terrible but it is no V8.

THANK YOU! I hate hearing every single time a new vehicle comes out, people start picking it apart saying this and that are swiped straight from X brand or Y vehicle. No matter what the design is you'll be able to find it SOMEWHERE in the history of vehicle design and claim it was swiped from them.
-
You can see noise?!?!
-
In Mercedes defense, they're not the ones writing articles saying they created the first 4-door coupe.
-
Brand and marketing make the difference acceptable there, imo. One is a premium/luxury brand making commercials in cities and suburbs and the other markets to being capable anywhere you want to go.
-
Some look better than others with it. None look great with it but some it fits a little better than others. But, I think it looks terrible on the Allroad as well. It isn't the cladding itself that I don't like it is how thick and tall it is(Tour X and Allroad). I think this is an appropriate amount for a luxury or premium branded vehicle.
-
I like that color A LOT! If they could reduce the cladding around the wheel wells it would look so much better.
-
^ Yeah, that looks like crap. To think this will be priced similarly to the CT4 and more people will buy that than the CT4...

Chevrolet News:Chevy Throws $3k On Camaro's Hood for Mustang Drivers

Because all "super cars" are bunker-like. -
That is an odd recall.

The GT isn't designed to be used as a daily driver in any way. -
It isn't custom. It's a la carte from Porsche.
-
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.

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. -
Yeah, it's a Porsche and their up-charge per item is absurd.

I'm not sure why people are still afraid of a smaller displacement turbo engine. -

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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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...
