    Ehhhh I don't think it HAS to be ICE powered and depending on how long of a break VW is taking from it will be more telling if it will come back as an ICE or not.

    So yes or no on the diesel exhaust fluid?
  3. ccap41
    It's kind of sad because it's probably one of the(if not THE) most iconic branded vehicles out there. Everybody and their brother knows what a VW Beetle is. I don't see if going away forever though. Maybe a little vacation to brew up some more demand then plop it down on the next Golf platform again, whenever that is.

    It's previous gen vs new gen, I think. I think it might have been pre-diesel exhaust fluid vs diesel exhaust fluid.

    It was never an issue for him because it is an EV but if it had a Mercedes logo on the front it would have immediately shrunk in size and he never would have fit a single leg in it.

    There's gotta be a lot of demand for a 2-seat EV right now.. Probably because there is more and more internet ordering instead of people going to stores. So while small mail is probably down(because what you said) larger packages is probably up a lot over the past 10-15 years. Probably way more than they were prepared for.

    Yeah it seems the more and more I see the new Equinox the less I like the looks of it.. Most new things I see I don't like initially and the look grows on me. Not so much with the Equinox.

    No I understood it. They're continuing to use the "old" engine instead of the one in the 2500/3500's and with that they don't have the stricter emissions requirements as it's pretty much commercial use only where there are less regulations.. why not use the more powerful and cleaner engine they have available? I know you're an advocate of cleaner vehicles and I'd think you'd want the cleaner option as well.

    Why would they use a detuned, less clean, version of an engine they already have? Wouldn't the extra power benefit these trucks way more than Average Dave hauling himself and his wife around in an empty-bed 3500HD?

    You literally cannot fit into a C Class Mercedes(your words paraphrased) but you can fit in a VW Bug. GTFO.. "I could get into and out of it compared to the MB and that is a shame considering I am 100% German and a German car company cannot seem to make a car to fit me."

    AMG GT is its own thing. It was never a tweaked version of anything else they make and I'm pretty sure this, much uglier, version is of the same.
  12. ccap41
    It looks bloated like the Panamera to me.. Not as huge fan. I'd prefer a CLS based on looks.

    I'm not disputing them manufacturing their vehicles here at all. It's good for our economy for them to build here and export rather than import them everything. You just don't have any factual numbers on what percentage of leased vehicles are returned and shipped outside of the US.
  14. ccap41
    Those Ram, GMC, and Chevy numbers are very surprising to me.
  15. ccap41
    Yeah man... That has absolutely zero to do with returned leases being exported. Those are new vehicles being built here and exported.
  16. ccap41
    I'd definitely be carted around in one of these.
  17. ccap41
    You can google any issue with any car and have a full page of results. All of those leases get returned eventually and..you guessed it..sell.
  18. ccap41
    Those wheels absolutely destroy that car.

    Coming from the tallest person here(dfelt) who always complains about headroom.. you'd think that'd be a factor.. . I've driven an ATS and there's no way somebody 6'6" could fit in the rear. My head at 5'8" was only an inch or two from the ceiling(which had a cutout).
  20. ccap41
    That sounds like a beautiful color combination.
  21. ccap41
    I know you're trolling, now, when you're saying the ATS has "greater room".
  22. ccap41
    Yeah, weird they'd go with more lag but as technology increases maybe its the same lag but better output.
  23. ccap41
    Cool, the ATS is a bargain in the luxury world. Good for it. So it does the one thing I said better, handles. That's it. Not a big accomplishment when there are so many other aspects of a car. They did mention different turbos which I thought was a little odd. " Mercedes-AMG’s engineers have installed bigger turbochargers to increase output by 23 horsepower to 385 hp at 6,100 rpm ..."

    The floating screen is only four years old, as of 2018. That's half a car's generation. Nothing about that amount of time or looks is dated to anybody other than somebody reaching at something to dislike about the vehicle. Mercedes pretty much leads every class they are in in interior quality, materials, and design(obviously subjective). Every shape of vent has already been used. I don't know what shape you want them do have. I guarantee I could find some 80's vehicle that has vertical vents like the ATS and complain about that if I wanted to and say "it's old" but that's just ridiculous. I like the ATS interior design but I know it is not better in pretty much any way. Buttons? Nah... let's to the haptic touch BS that nobody really likes.. try and tell me that's BETTER. I don't think there is a single thing the ATS does better than a 2018 C Class. Okay, it probably takes an aggressive corner better..
  25. ccap41
    Probably same exact tune and everything. They just underrated it originally. Germans are known to underrate their engines...
