  1. I don't know if "autonomous driving vehicles" and "exciting" are the right combination of words as an enthusiast.
  2. If it's marketing wouldn't it benefit them more to do it the way they're doing it? It is working. My friend's mom who bought a 540i a month or two ago has the M Sport package and keeps saying she has the top of the line M BMW. No, No you do not. And I did already agree that the brand is diluting itself but you said they "should be only a single top level and the rest below it are various levels of the standard auto." There's no reason, especially as consumers and auto enthusiasts, that we shouldn't welcome more and more performance variations.
  3. They've abslutely diluted the brand the same way BMW has diluted the M brand with "M Sport" with how they've lowered the brand to C43, E43, etc. Oh and Audi with their "S-Sport" package. All fluff and little content outside of aesthetics.
  4. I'm just a grumpy old fart now. I can't even help it.
  5. THREE DAYS LATE YOU WORTHLESS F......
  6. Too old to remember sh!t like that...
  7. I think it's a good looking car. I'd drive one.
  8. I've already started the liquid diet because all I have left is gums.. Depends are on order.
  9. They really do need to do something with that car. Considering they're all-in on the quite/soft luxury leasing a FWD Mazda6 would be great. Wouldn't that only benefit both companies? It could have been but it was parked at a restaurant. The gf and I were walking in and the wheels caught my eye and I quickly looked for an AMG badge and was pleasantly surprised. I knew I took a picture of it and when I found it.. it was a GLE and not a GLC. lol
  10. I have always hated when people say X just copied Y. It's called competing and that's how companies work. If there is a place to make money, they'll do it.
  11. I've seen one.. That would be such a perfect vehicle for me minus the price LOL.
  12. While I completely agree with you there is also something to be said about a truly "luxury" vehicle that isn't looking directly at profits. I agree that FWD-based is completely fine for these vehicles, I just don't think looking at profits is the best way to look at it. Sometimes your ROI might be a generation or two away as you're building their image. Right??? That's about the only thing Lincoln has done right in the last few decades. The thing is, none of us know what the cost is of these vehicles. For all you and I know that 41k XT5 only costs GM 25k while that 50k GLC costs MB 40k. It could very easily be vise versa as well. Point is, we don't know.
  13. GLC is RWD but the GLA, which is what I think you meant, is FWD-based.
  14. Thanks guys! This was the big 3-0 for me...
  15. Yup. The're both pretty ugly.. The Chevy looks much better with the chrome bar body color as it seems to hide some of the nastiness going on around the headlight/fender area.
  16. The Super Dirty is a hit or miss to me. Some trims it looks really good and others it looks tacky and almost cheap for how much truck you're getting. This reminds me, I'm really intrigued about the new HD's from Ram and Chevy.
  17. They are very generic but I definitely do not see anything ugly about them. I think they are simple and clean looking and that alone is attractive. They're not trying to have bends, creases, swoops, angles, scoops in places they're not needed just for the sake of putting them there.
  18. That's like saying the Prius is the boldest hybrid... They're both "bold" in the same way.
  19. I would not. Ram and F150 look soooooo much better than the Silverado.
  20. This is definitely something that should be an option on S Classes and probably standard on Maybachs(of course your choice of colors and patters ;) )
  21. I thought this was the LC500... It should probably be an option on that car too.
  22. Holy smokes are both of those beautiful. I would absolutely take that leather package if I were to be in the market for this car. Do true GT's really get much better than this?
  23. At 6'6" there probably isn't much space behind you in any vehicle, lol.
