I thought that was a very neat number as well.
-
So I'm supposed to doubt companies who have a lot of recalled vehicles?
-
HATCHBACKS FTW! -
Correct but that's anything but dirt cheap for a car that size.

2019 Lexus ES Grows In Size, Adds F-Sport : Comments
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Lexus
Wow, they have gotten similar with this new gen of Camry. -
This is floating to you? So it should be roomier than the CLA while being a tad shorter overall(assuming it is largely in part of longer wheelbase)?
-
I converted the length here to what's on MB's US site and our current CLA is an inch longer overall. This thing not in "L" form must be TINY!
-
Yeah, 7 inches seems like quite a bit as well. Nice.
-
I wouldn't call anything with a starting price in the US of $32,700 "dirt cheap".

Leaving the factory the Tacoma did indeed have a rust free frame.. Point being, you should dislike all auto companies if you think a few recalls make a company look like they don't know how to engineer their vehicles. Should GM have coated their frames better to not rust as well? Nah, we'll turn a blind eye to them..
-
For a massive loss.. I'm not sure if that's really paying it back but yes, it was "paid back". And shouldn't simple things like using the correct bolts or correct welding? "General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2016 Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL vehicles. The front upper control arms may have inadequate welds near the control arm bushing." It happens. The important thing is these major manufacturers are taking care of it. None of them are innocent so there's no good reason to hold one above the others.
-
That's like saying you're completely turned off by the whole GM ignition switch situation which is way worse of a recall. I don't mind recalls. Every company has them and they're taking care of a problem. Interesting article in 2016 when we were in peak recall times. http://wardsauto.com/industry/best-and-worst-automaker-recall-rates

Hyundai News:Hyundai Santa Cruz Pickup is Still Coming
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Hyundai
Yup, same here. It wasn't long ago that it was in the 2.50's for awhile. -
What quality/engineering issues is the new Tacoma having?
-
I've always just bought what I wanted because the're not driving or paying for it anyway...
-
I think all of us would prefer those over that Maybach. Hell, they might even have more prestige as everybody loves clean classics!
-
Hahahaha same here! The only real reason I could see somebody wanting it is because of its brand, Mercedes-Maybach. Maybach holds some serious luxury equity so the uber rich can say, "I have the newest Maybach available."

I think I saw 2.69 here today. For whatever that's worth, lol. -
Buick also doesn't offer any hybrids in 2018 so I'm not exactly sure what their end goal is.
-
And few of the base ES's are ever built so we can just assume both add a few options and are still roughly 10k apart. How much smaller is the Regal? It looks waaaay better as well. It sucks but that's how all companies are packaging things now. Especially considering the current LaX is probably their oldest vehicle and possibly on its way out.. that's just how it goes..
-
Sounds like somebody just shouldn't buy the Buick then..lol Also, the LaCross starts $10,000 less than the ES. It seems like the only one that truly out-options/classes it is the Avalon as it is near luxury like the Buick but also comes with more standard. At a $10,000 premium it is expected the ES will have more and the Buick does everything inside MUCH better than a Corolla with more power, leather, quietness, smoothness... I have to believe there are options that are standard on the LaX and not the Corolla. I just don't have the time to scan through both option sheets.
-
So if i bought a Corolla for $18,600 it has auto cruise and blind spot monitoring? Impressive. Buying a Buick you're getting other things instead of those features for the money. You should be getting a quieter, smoother, leather seats, and more powerful engine'd vehicle. Personally, that sounds like a good deal.
-
Automatic cruise control is not a safety feature... Not in my eyes it isn't. Blind spot is only a safety feature because vehicles are built with such terrible blind spots now that they need to give the drivers something. I turn my head every time I change lanes and it still isn't the easiest to actually look at the blind spot. Personally, blind spot monitoring isn't something I would ever pay for unless it was stuck in a package that I wanted other things. My little angled corner mirror within my side mirror is plenty good for me.

"When it hits showrooms in late summer, the 2019 Fusion will be offered in 36 available configurations. That's down from nearly 2,000 for the 2018 model year and a number that once reached an astonishing 35,000 possible configurations. Likewise, the EcoSport debuted for 2018 in the United States with 46 configuration options." I have to believe this is to cut costs. They don't want to offer their customers less options but there's no choice when a vehicle that sells over 200,000 units a year is on the cutting block(and I believe it is because they aren't making enough or anything on it).
