    Prius Prime competes with the Volt. Since when did the Volt get an 84 mile EV only range? Also, wasn't this about Dodge and their lack of innovation? They're the only ones with no form of EV technology. Whether you agree or disagree with competing with the Bolt or Volt, there are pure EV, plug-in, and normal hybrids from all of the Japanese and German brands, which you said they didn't.

    What...? All of the German and Asian brands have hybrids and/or plug-in hybrids. Nobody has a Demon competitor but there are definitely cars that compete with the Corvette.

    That's a good point. It does make sense to do it at a time of year when people are more willing to leave their homes and travel.
  4. ccap41
    No, the article title is a little misleading.

    I've never negatively commented on Caddy's design, At least not in the way you're talking about it. I like their A&S styling, for the most part.
  6. ccap41
    There's nothing wrong with its design though. It's clean and simple.
  7. ccap41
    Or you just like the way it looks, which a lot of people buy based on.
  8. ccap41
    Exactly.

    That's the Challenger, not Charger.

    More muscle? I was hoping for a bump in something. Just using the same tune the "regular" v6 already has isn't much of adding anything.

    Not trying to back track again but... I do think smk is somewhat right about the JGC engines. I think they could perform quite a bit better with a turbo 4 and twin turbo 6. We all want V8 noises but the 5.7 really isn't anything other than a good noise maker compared to a TTv6. Keep the v8 or n/a v6 for those afraid of modern things. They could have a 275hp/300tq turbo 4 and a 375hp/400-425tq twin turbo v6.

    No Worries, they're still selling the Escalade.

    They might be comfy but they aren't as easy to drive as most anything smaller than them.
  15. ccap41
    Yes, sorry. 8spd! Recommended but 87 is fine as well, at least for the Ford, and according to the manual.
  16. ccap41
    Exactly, and worse is that I do end to drive very conservatively so really the small engine in both vehicles would do the job 99% of the time. A couple things I like about the top engines is: sound for the 5.7! they can pass with ease(I don't often but when I do i don't like the wait I have now in my N/A Focus, and the potential to get more power out of them because I'm always looking to do things to my vehicles. The 9spd in the JGC is very intriguing as well over the 6spd in the Edge. I never had a turbo lag issue with my Escape so that likely wouldn't deter me with the 2.7 either but lag is lag and there would be more than a n/a 5.7, 'MURICAN, V8. I also only average 12,000 miles per year so fuel economy really shouldn't be a huge concern of mine but I'm cheap and I can't ignore added fuel costs.

    That's the size I want as well, "mid size". I'll eventually go and drive a Grand Cherokee and Edge but I know I'd "need" the 5.7 in the Jeep and that's quite the gas guzzler... but is it much worse than the 2.7 in the Edge..? There is a local '16 Edge Sport that I want really bad but i know I don't need that.

    I don't know if I would ever be comfortable driving something as large as these full size BOF SUVs. The're so damn big.
  19. ccap41
    Look at all of us 'Muricans... Small, compact CUV thread and we turn it into a full size, BOF SUV thread. ? ??
  20. ccap41
    Interesting. I really thought it would have been dimensionally identical to a 'Nox or Terrain(or within an inch or design differences).

    It is waaaaay overdue selling/trading it in on a newer Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon. That wheel design is HAWWWT! It might be 2 inches too big for my taste but she design is fantastic.
  23. ccap41
    Oh I somewhat agree and that's also why I still suggest them getting a Tahoe/Suburban to replace it. The H2 was definitely more than just Hummer clothes on a Yukon chassis. It was a 2500 Suburban with air ride, electronic locking rear diff, a unique transfer case and Vortec 6.0. Similar, yes. Just dressed up? No.

    Maintenance on alternators, starters, MAF, air suspension? I know stuff just goes over time. Nothing is indestructible. They've gone through a transmission as well and they actually have ad it services prior to its failure. They had a shop across from their store they'd take all of their stuff to. Definitely. That's what I think they should get. They still want something huge and will sit a bunch of people and room to move things so the Tahoe/Suburban is right up their ally. I was pleasantly surprised with how capable the GL is. Yeah it won't complete with the longer ESV but isn't that just adding length to the hatch area? Like the Suburban vs Tahoe?
  25. ccap41
    Not saying the Escalade can't do this but if this is considered mild off roading.. I think the GL would be just fine. I can't imagine needing ANY more than this in a vehicle this size.
