Cadillac liked the idea of BMW having the M Sport package so they made the V Sport package.

Or the M Sport from BMW and AMG43's from Mercedes..

Hahaha I'm just saying... That would be my only glaring change. Otherwise, I like the list. I've never driven a Miata but an awful lot of people seem to like them. That would go perfectly with the larger Mustang. A dancer and a brawler.

R/T starts at $43,695 for 2WD and $46,295 for AWD. If this was on my list the 2WD would work as I'd still have a 4WD truck, if I needed to squeeze it in for price.

The only one I'd want to change would be the Pilot for a Durango R/T. It probably isn't as nice or luxurious as the Pilot but that V8... And it just looks so damn good. @Drew Dowdell @dfelt What about you guys?? FYI the Drew & delt post was separate from the Durango one.. I'm not asking them to side with me on the opinion Hahaha

Edge Titanium starts at 36k, with a 2.0T, MKX base price is 39k with a 3.7L. I clicked every box on a Titanium and it got to $44,550. All you need is the base Premier + engine and AWD to get to $43,550. That's the Lincoln nobody wants, the base package. Black Label is nearly 60k. 10k base price difference and about the same on the top end as well. The things that bring the Sport close to 48k that I don't see most getting is the rear DVD players for $1,995. Take that away and it's 46k and still a decent difference between the two vehicles. A Tahoe and Yukon can also be priced above a base Escalade, Let alone a Denali.

It says "appearance package" I don't see how it would price as high as the MKX/Nautilus if that's all that's getting changed.

I'd just wear out the winter rubber and buy a new set when they're worn out. He'd be buying them for a daily wheel not a winter beater wheel but I bet if he say they had any curb rash on them he'd be out. It's hard to imagine that their margin for scraping is that small, 20mm. Considering it isn't all going towards the inside.

It looks pretty damn awesome but I don't know if it'll be worth whatever premium they're going to be asking for for it.

Sounds pretty damn awesome for a van.

I think what you meant to say is BULLSH!T and it's been like quite a few seasons at this point. Dez's "catch" I'm pretty sure was like 2012 and Calvin Jonhson's even older in 2010. Yes, this was called an incomplete pass. It was a game winner with time expiring on that play too. Or maybe the clock was just under a minute.. Either way it should have won them the game.

I didn't even notice those were curbed. I wouldn't buy curbed wheels either, no way. Aren't the OE wheels 235's and those Audi wheels were 255's? That alone shouldn't cause a rub. I think I calculated it out on a website utilizing offset and comparing to the OE wheels and they would stick out 11mm further and like 2mm further in. I think that would fit about perfect. Those CC wheels are PRETTY!

It's crazy how such a small change can make a car look basic and sh!tty versus clean and very nice. My buddy was going to buy a R Line but came across the SE, like yours, and couldn't pass up the equipment upgrade for very little extra cash. There are still plenty of 17" wheels out there that look good but they're on smaller vehicles so they're proportioned "pretty good" still. My friend is contemplating buying these that he found on the ole craigslist(if you don't buy them first!) 19" Audi S4 Wheels

Pretty attractive SUV. Nothing crazy good but nothing crazy bad.

Oh yeah definitely a no-brainer. It's amazing how much better the car looks with the 18's than 17's. Spend the $400 extra to get way more than $400 with of upgades, imo. Then again that can be said about most cars...

Sorry, what you said, "What does it really tell you about the auto? NOTHING!" I thought you actually meant those words. If its just brand/name equity you speak of, then again, the C, E, and S Classes have been around longer than anything Cadillac has branded. They still know the C, E, and S Class as they've built equity in sticking with a system. They've jumbled the other numbers/letters around to make it confusing but a the core of it they've still C, E, and S. I also tried to squeeze one of these into my Dream Garage that @Frisky Dingo made but couldn't swing it with its price.

I love me more hatchbacks! Too bad we will get the sh!t sedan. In all fairness that 165hp converts to about 200 American horsepower and the 221 to about 250.

V6 otherwise perfection because that’s a pretty car. #FordGTProblems

My little toy car would be a 2018 Mustang GT(couldn't find a way to budget a GT350...) + Performance package = $39,990 ATS w/ Permium Luxury package(needed the LED fog lights and running lights) = $43,890. Edge Sport + 401A + dark wheels = $44,505 Tacoma TRD Off-Road, Access cab, 6ft bed + Technology Package = $35,950 This doesn't leave me with much at all..$18,160 to be exact. Renegade Sport with a manual trans sneaks under 18k MSRP! I couldn't get 4WD though.. But it would be fun to drive the snot out of it. It actually might be worth shaving 2k somewhere else to get 4WD for this little thing because it's probably a hoot for a little guy.

This is so damn difficult. I don't know what I want to daily or how much to spend because I'd have to get cheap stuff too that I don't think I'd want at all.

I don't think Mercedes is hurting because of their naming system. You might not like it but they're extremely successful and not hurting. But what IS a Prius or an Escalade? You said the alphanumeric jibberish doesn't describe anything about what the vehicle is but what the hell do some of these names mean? I don't think this describes what the Escalade is at all.

The only one that is genuinely attractive to me is the CX-3.

The only reason it isn't as expansive is they don't have a lineup to fill with alphanumeric lingo. I wonder if they're keeping a close eye on what Lincoln is doing with their name changes seeing if it drives talk up more about the brand or not. Vehicles naming, while us enthusiasts pay attention to it, will never discourage a buyer from a vehicle. Most will just go to a lot and say "I want that one" on a luxury brand's lot. So while they might be a jumbled mess, I don't think that will actually stop or discourage anybody from buying them.

Oh neato. I like I like. 5 Fusion Sports. Definitely joking but this'll be fun.
