  1. Because most would prefer a GMC over a Buick. That's literally the only real reason. That'd be the only reason I'd buy a Terrain over an Envision. The more I see the new Terrains out in the wild the less i like them. When they were first introduced i thought they looked pretty sharp but the more I see them the less i like them. There's just something about them that I do not like.
  2. Ohhhh I thought you meant the Terrain. Okay, so it does have the 1.5T standard. That makes more sense.
  3. Because if it's priced that high it's in that territory. Hence my question, is the interior to the level of those at that price range? Yeah, no thank you! Why is that an option at that price? The base engine should be whatever turbo 4cyl the Cruze has and the 2.0T as an option.
  4. 46k for a compact CUV is entry luxury territory.. Are the interiors on the level of Lexus, Lincoln, Acura, or even BMW, Mercedes, or Audi? I mean a GLC starts at $40,050, X3 starts at $42,650, Q5: $41,500. Even the larger MKX/Nautilus starts at $39,035. At least that Rav4 wasn't priced next to those guys
  5. It still amazes me each month with stellar sales as a Japanese truck that largely does truck stuff a little worse than the Colorado/Canyon. I would have expected way more to have jumped ship than have.
  6. Wow, GLC did ALL of the weight lifting here. Good overall month but if you actually look at it.. A lot of things are down and the GLC saved the day. Still a very good month overall if they broke their own record.
  7. You can get M1 or Pennzoil in either 5w-40 or 0w-40(what Mercedes at least used to use) for $25-27 at Walmart per5qt jug. When I had my C350 and it took 8.5qts and the same situation as yours I was absolutely not spending over $100 to change my own oil. $25 X 2 = $50 + $20 filter(which is on the highest end of the spectrum but I'll go with it here) =$70 tops. Any auto place I've ever bought anything from, and Walmart, take used oil for free.
  8. I'm so impressed with the love for the Tacoma. It nearly doubles the GM twins and in a lot of ways it isn't even the better "truck". It goes to show you how people buy on emotion rather than facts.
  9. I did a little searching and talking to people on bobistheoilguy.com and Fram has a shop version of that same filter but it has a different label and doesn't have the grippy stuff. I bought a case of 6 on eBay for $33 with free shipping a handful of months ago bringing the per unit cost down to $5.50 for the same $9 Fram Ultra filter. I knew I'd eventually use them so I didn't mind buying a case of 6. They don't go bad. For your TBSS it's a FPS3506. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fram-Pro-Synthetic-FPS6607-Oil-Filter-CASE-6-SIX-fits-XG6607-M1-108-10-2876/173039477548?epid=193030830&hash=item2849f4e32c:g:MtcAAOSwT6pVvns9&vxp=mtr That one isn't as cheap but there are a bunch of different listings for the FPS3506. Even at that link it brings them down to $7/filter. Not an incredible savings but it's better than nothing.
  10. Oh yeah, I kept my prices realistic for the one where I was buying the cars LOL. That's why it was littered with early 2000's cars!
  11. That was actually the first car that came to mind for me. Then I did a little Googling and thought there was no way I'd have that in a garage with all of these other new cars out right now.
  12. Because you're all about efficiency with that list, right? lol I think the G Wagen is in the same spot my Vantage was. I think it's a 2019 model year. If not, I want that on my list too!
  13. Those are some rough numbers...
  14. 23.4% sales drop for Lincoln. HOLY. SH!T.
  15. I do find his list comical in the sense that everything gets 10mpg then there's a Bolt.
  16. I've read both years and because it'll be selling in 2018 I went with it. If I had to change it I think it might be the Ferrari SuperFast to replace it without looking too much. lol only one of those fits the criteria... The TrackHawk.
  17. Mclaren 720S F150 Lariat FX4 Aston Martin Vantage Range Rover Velar AMG GT C
  18. I honestly just don't know a whole lot of cars that have departed post 2017 MY. The only two that really come to mind are the Viper and SS..lol but you could guarantee that Vanquish would be on my list. That thing is beautiful!
  19. I didn't worry too much about colors as all of my choices I like in pretty much all of their color options. I think the only ones that stand out to me that I wouldn't want would be a yellow C5Z or the anniversary WS6 in that yellow either. I'd take any color for the Cobra, 335i, or Golf R.
  20. It really is perfect for most any commuter. It was just expensive for its size when it came out(and still is for Gen2). Buuuuut the used market, with a ton of 10-15k ones available with very reasonable number of miles on them, makes them super appealing.
  21. Does the engine ever need to change revs then? Or does it just stay at a constant rpm when it is running? Oooorrrrr does it change revs when under high stress to charge faster to keep up with depletion rates(such as climbing a mountain)?
  22. The Volt is a fantastic idea. I probably would have bought one instead of my Focus if I had somewhere to charge it.
  23. That speaker/grille/location is AWESOME!
