Sorry there are two options. 11hp and 16hp but the torque is the same for both. Even if it could get going.. can the thing stop?!? Even if they also managed to give it adequate brakes.. they're 145/80R12LT tires. That's so damn skinny. Literally, I think that's Geo Metro-skinny. It is funny that they make an "LT" rated tire that small though.
-
I had to look it up... 11hp and 28lb-ft of torque. How in the world would that move itself if it actually had 1543lbs in the back?!?!?
-
I can appreciate the time and work that went in to that but it looks awful.
-
I knew it was modified but that's still pretty damn fast for a brick. It'd be just as, if not more, sketchy than the G63. -
I'm sorry but I have a REALLY difficult time believing either of those touched 150mph.
-
What SUV have you driven past 150mph?
-
Must be in the salt flats because there isn't enough room for 99.9% of SUVs to get up to that fast without miles and miles of open road. The 0.01%'ers would be all brand new stuff like the Lambo, Bentley, I bet the X6M and GLE63 do it to and the Porsches. Basically only things well into the 100k territory. You nailed a lot of them that I missed.
-
What kind of budget are we looking at? It's tough to suggest anything without at least a ballpark price range.
-
I can't imagine the feeling of 149mph in this thing.
-
I am wrong that the grille isn't chrome. The slots between the body color bars is chrome. Luckily, it isn't gaudy. Find me an OE Escalade that looks as clean and chrome-less as this. It really isn't a huge factor to this segment. What's 1-2mpg to somebody who just dropped 100k on an SUV and they pay for premium fuel?
-
Show me their chrome wheels because when I go to their website and try and build I see no words saying "chrome" when looking at wheels. Even if all of this chrome is available it isn't standard. I would actually have to pay extra for $h!ty chrome compared to an Escalade that comes standard with the ghetto package. Like I said, what you originally posted, is not chrome. That grille is not Escalade chrome. Apparently you can opt for a chrome lower front and rear bumper area, like I posted with the chrome package. The only thing on the market that even competes with the Escalade's mass amount of chrome is the Navigator. This is as dipped in chrome as a GLS gets and you cannot honestly tell me it has even half the coverage of an Escalade's chrome. https://youtu.be/pO_CMmyV9KA

I'm very confident you're confusing chrome and brushed aluminum-look. Mercedes doesn't have chrome wheels, or grilles, or roof racks. The only silver that's mirrored or chromed is probably the tri-star in the grille and on the tailgate. This is Mercedes Chrome Package.
-
I think I'd prefer the non-AMG grille but everything else looks like standard G-Wagen stuff, perfect. I'll take one in dark grey, please.
-
Personally, I'd take a GLS over an Escalade for a handful of reasons. Size, engine choices, SO MUCH LESS CHROME, SO MUCH LESS CHROME, did I mention that there is SO MUCH LESS CHROME? Navigator is all chromed out as well... The thing I hate most is chrome door handles and fake vents. Grilles and wheels are okay.
-
Way awesome! I'll have to check it out later when I can listen to it. I just watched it because I'm at work.
-
interesting, I've never heard of them.
-
I think they are because of a few reasons... 1: car stereos are much better quality from the factory now 2: all of the steering wheel controls and OE sound processors can be a nightmare to sort out for an average guy and 3: because of #2 prices are a lot higher for things. for instance, because I want to keep my factory touchscreen and steering wheel controls I have to buy an adapter($100) to get the correct inputs for the amplifier. I assume that is a local stereo center? They didn't have something I was really looking for. I haven't heard one of the Bazooka tubes in person but any time I talk about them at places that even sell them they basically say if I'm looking for a lot of bass you'll be disappointed. If you just want to add bass to compliment a system, they're very good. Yeah Bose makes good home(and assuming boat stuff). True audiophiles will say they're junk and lack X Y and Z and are overpriced but they do what their intended goal is very good for a simple all--in-one system.
-
I've never seen or heard of Bose making aftermarket car audio systems. They're good for home stuff but they're not the kind of sound I want in a music-only sound system.
-
Haha Oh, I definitely understand that. That's why I'm not saying buy a A4 over an Arteon...
-
Oh yeah I've been all over their site many times yet I've never actually bought anything from them. Probably my biggest concern is size and keeping it compact. I know I could throw a big 12" woofer in a 80lb box and there's plenty of space. I want it smallish and I want to be able to take it out with ease as well. I'm just in a predicament where I want small/compact, affordable, but with plenty of bumps.
-
I will admit I didn't even click the link but it just seems so worthless to buy two cars like that and then never even let them be seen until 30 years later. He likely would have done better investing is money in stocks/bonds/etc than keeping those cars like he did.
-
B..b..b..but they share the same engine!!
-
Isn't the A4 much smaller than this? Another stupid comparison.
-
I'm really craving buying a sound system for my car, more specifically, some subwoofers. Anybody have knowledge or experience with a recent setup? I has a system in my first car but that's been gone for about 10 years. What I think I want but I'm afraid it won't be quite enough for how much it all costs is this: JL Audio dual 8" W3v3's It's compact and I test fit one last week at an audio shop and it fits perfectly behind my back seats in the hatch area but it's only 6 inches deep as to keep most of my space available still. It sounded good in their test room but I'm afraid that or the like $1100 or so I'll be disappointed. They're 8's so they naturally just can't get the duper deep lows.

The Titanium also comes with the 1.0T standard with the 2.0 optional. Add the 2.0 and it comes with AWD as well and it's $1500 more and boom, more expensive again.
