To the best of my knowledge, that has been a BMW-only thing.

As far as I know, BMW has been charging for it for years and they're still the only ones with the rights to use it wireless-ly. Almost everybody has CarPlay, not just KIA. And everybody else has to use a wire to connect.

Mercedez Benz News Daimler Books First Quarterly Loss in Ten Years
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
AMG GT and G Wagen are priced high enough that their low sales shouldn't be an issue. You could probably average those 5677 sales at $150,000 per unit.. Oh that's a good way to lose some of the wealthiest people in the world as clients.- 30 replies

I'm just giving @smk4565 a hard time because we all know MB is his baby. I know this is just part of the industry. There are highs and lows and getting ahead of those times is crucial. Please, Please axe the GLC Coupe and GLE Coupe.- 30 replies

Chevrolet News:2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Reveal

He is..sadly.. I was never a huge fan of his late night show but I've always loved him as a car guy. The one line that confused me because I know he has a lot of modern stuff, too, was when he was talking about the 8spd DCT transmission and he said he was surprised because a lot of other cars are using 4 and 5 spd automatics. That was a decade+ ago. Do you guys need pictures of the Colorado breaking in half as well? Or is that blasphemy because Chevy? -

Literally everything you watch would be the exact same. Coincidentally, those teams are no longer around.. ? Do you also only want your Cleveland Browns players to have been born in Ohio? -

So? If I'm not wrong, all of the smaller budget teams are buying engines and/or chassis from somebody else. They're located in the US. They're still developing everything above the chassis. There is also no reason a team should only look for the best available driver in a certain country. -

If you only look at the engines then they are all using the same car but outside of that every F1 team has drastically different bodies. NASCAR isn't near as drastic but there is also freedom to do their own thing but when the fastest design wins.. you're not going to stray too far from that. If you don't have regulations like that you end up with BOP(Balance of Performance) changes and it turns into a sandbagging game in practice and qualifying. I love watching IMSA races and I watch as much as I can of them but the whole BOF, which is necessary, really sucks. -

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes X-Class to be Xed Out
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
And Apple could buy Ford, GM, and FCA and look where their automobile efforts landed because they realized it isn't as easy as they thought. Best in class does not mean best in sales. That's been gone over at least a million times already. Wasn't the Tundra best in class in 07-08 when it first came out? YUP.- 62 replies

OHHHHHHH my bad, sorry. I have no clue about the convertible.. I tried to see if they had any videos on that but they don't. -

I would wager there are people switching brands all the time. If you have 100k for a sports car, you are more than likely willing to try a bunch of different things over the years. You might Give Porsche your money once, Corvette another time, AMG and M, then back to Corvette, then another AMG.. 100k toy money is a whole different ball game than daily drivers. -

I don't think it will steal even 1 Ferrari sale but I do think 911 buyers will consider it now more than ever. It is a very compelling buy over a 911 and not all 911 buyers are badge snobs. A lot just want a great driving car. The top goes in the back/trunk. -

I definitely believe a badge snob will let the Chevy part hold it back. It's a Chevy and not a Porsche. That's just how it's going to be. -

Yup, his brand has like 1 trim of vehicle that will be able to hold a candle to whatever trim Vette throws down all while having like 10 priced above it. Even the AMG GT R isn't as quick as the C8, taking both manufacturers for their word. -

I don't think I've ever heard somebody try and defend the Corvette not being a Chevy.. and it still doesn't make sense.
