I think they look great in pictures, driving, and walking around. I don't know how well they will or won't age but I think they're very attractive for their respective class.
-
Yeah, it has aged well enough they could and probably should keep it around for a couple more years and maybe even drop the price here and there in the next couple of years to fill that mid-size void even better. If they could do that they would make buying a mid-size almost idiotic when a Ram 1500 could be bought for almost the same price.

Typo correction. -
I'm such a rabid fanboy for Mercedes I'm in another thread saying how much better the Corvette is than the AMG GT!

Chevrolet News:Corvette C8 Almost Sold Out Already
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Chevy has sold 1636 ZR1's to private parties and the car has only been on sale/produced since MARCH. . So no, Chevy will still sell more ZR1 trimmed Corvettes than Mercedes will sell AMG GTs. https://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/c7-corvette/corvette-zr1-registry/ Also, 30% of which are manual transmission. As much as I love the AMG GT, the new Vette will whoop it sales-wise and I'd wager money that id would whoop it on a race track as well. -
@Drew Dowdell control your people.

WTF are you even going on about at this point? Are you trying to argue to just argue or what? I stated an opinion that their lineup doesn't need "major changes and style updates" and that 19.5% is great, regardless of sample size.
-
Also... margins.

I never said they were "boomin". My response was to:
-
I don't think Mercedes needs to do anything other than a little trimming of the fat because their products are at the top or close to the top in all of their respective segments. I know they're down for the year but I don't understand the wording of "only" being up 19.5%.
-
Why "only" ? 19.5% is great. Cadillac and Lincoln would kill to be up 19.5%.
-
Yeah, I was looking all the way over to the YTD comparisons column. Correct, it was actually a very good month. My mistake.

@smk4565 Where are all of the positives?

Chevy sells more 2-3X more Corvettes with a manual transmission than Mercedes sells AMG GTs in a year. Maybe they should get rid of the AMG GT because they sell so few. -

Read above numbers. The last two entire model years they sold 22% Corvettes with manual transmissions. I'll let you look up 2017. If they sold 20% with manual transmissions, that's roughly 3000-6000 per year for the last ten years. -

I truly believe their sales will dip once the bulk of buyers who have been waiting for one get theirs because of the lack of a manual transmission. The most recent total sales number breakdown for Corvettes was 2018 model year(as 2019 isn't over yet) 2123 manual transmission sales - 21.9% 7563 auto transmission sales - 78.1% 9686 total 2018 model year Corvettes sold(not sales in 2018). https://www.corvetteblogger.com/docs/2018CorvetteFINALYearEnd.pdf -

Oh, throw in a manual transmission and I'm done. ?

We had some hacked up consumer vehicles turned into mail carriers come into the shop I worked at and I only drove them around the parking lot(for the final QC for torquing the lugnuts) and it's weird as hell. I'm sure it doesn't take long to get used to but it is such an odd feeling being on the "wrong" side of the vehicle.
