I meant the engine, which in turn, would mean the transmission as well.

I guess I forgot it isn't in the Cherokee...

Do they not have a ZF unit in any of the 2.0T Jeeps? Or are those all RWD-based? Actually, is that only in the Wrangler at this point...? I definitely think I'm looking further ahead than they currently are, come to think of if..lol

Seems quite phenomenal to me... https://www.motortrend.com/cars/mercedes-benz/glc-class/2020/2020-mercedes-glc-300-glc-63-first-drive-review/

7200rpm is pretty high these days for a turbo engine. It's probably a hoot to drive.

@Drew Dowdell It was kept very civil until today. I thought we had solid discussion yesterday. People cannot talk politics without getting personal, for whatever reason.

Don't tell me what to do!!! What is he doing/has done that is "evil"? That's a pretty strong word to use.

Again, we shall find out. So far everything was supposed to go to sht 2+ years ago as soon as he went into office, then every couple of months we expect the market to fall out because something he does yet we continue to do just fine. Maybe he isn't screwing everything up ??‍♂️ Just a tad extreme...

It looks like we shall find out.

@Drew Dowdell Agreed to disagree then. I see it as a way to strong arm their government to give us a hand on the boarder. Or this is the idea.

It hurts the government who's capitalizing on the income from the businesses producing products. I already stated it is not about the individuals themselves trying to move north.

What is your proposed idea to fix the illegal immigration situation? Personally, I don't have one.. Something needs to be done but I don't exactly have a good idea on how to fix it.

It isn't intended to hurt Americans. It isn't after the individuals who are trying to flee here. It will hurt the corrupt government in the only place you can hurt them, their pockets. After going after the cash in their pockets because companies are fleeing manufacturing in your country and going elsewhere, they will realize they need to help us with the border protection to keep companies in their own country. That is the intent. I believe.

And that takes jobs out of Mexico, that's the whole point of this. He wants to hurt Mexico if they aren't willing to help with border protection.

YUP. THAT'S my biggest concern. The companies the tariffs are going at the most are of course the largest and they have too high of production to just flip a switch in a week, month, or even six months to be able to bring production back here, even if they wanted to. I believe there should have been a warning of 12 months. Make it official(otherwise companies will not take it serious) and enforce it next June. That gives them time to either decide to keep production in Mexico or to get a plan set and in motion to move back to the US.

Will there be higher prices? Isn't the Envision built in China with their dirt cheap labor? Is that not still priced like its competition? they're just pocketing more cash. We all assume prices will skyrocket because either a tariff or production will be here with higher labor costs yet GM has proved they still sell their Envision, built in China, at class competitive prices. I'm not trying to say prices won't jump, just throwing out a differing point of view.

I don't have an issue with the tariffs being put in place but if the goal is to bring production back to the US I feel like there should have been a 1 year heads-up so the companies actually CAN bring production back if they choose to. They don't have the time in one month(of less whenever it was first announced) to either buy a plant or build a plant. That would be my biggest gripe about the whole situation is the time frame from announcement to enactment. If all of the auto companies were like, " okay, we will bring production back to the US." They would still be stuck paying the tariffs even if they were 100% on board with bringing production back to the US as quick as possible. C'mon man, it was a joke. I took two soft shots..

Seemed relevant. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a27702580/car-prices-us-tariffs-mexican-imports/ Here are the 39 new cars and trucks currently built in Mexico and exported to the U.S. (all plant and production data sourced from Automotive News?

Maybe because this is a preexisting platform by 2021 there will be a heavy refresh or new one on deck already..? The only reason I remember this is because I remember thinking it was ridiculous that their new, large,CUV, that is supposed to compete with the big BMW and Merc, didn't have their latest and greatest technology. I remember specifically being disappointed in its lack of SuperCruise.

It was just a joke. Calm down buddy(or don't calm down because you dislike it when people tell you what to do).

Correct, XT6. i thought I originally read it would not have SuperCruise..

What about the XT7?

*watches frustration build as ccap insulted him yet he also insulted Trump*

Surreal doesn't understand business and taxes. He should run for President next.

They are absolutely treated differently. The Walton's personal taxes are not going to be anything like Wal*mart's. Personal and corporate are wildly different. Maybe I'm missing something here and why they would possibly be inseparable from each other.
