  1. Detroit 2018: 2019 Ford Edge ST Gets Sharper: Comments

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)
    That Edge center stack is...bad. If they just made those buttons larger I think it would look better. There's so much empty space and it isn't utilized very well. The Lincoln one looks much better, imo. It isn't great but it looks like they at least tried. For, 60-70k I think looks "meh" at best. But if you don't click all of the options it starts at $39,035, add a few small things to bring it up to 45k and it is still a respectable interior at that price. I don't really think it looks any worse or better than what's probably its closest rival, the MDX. I actually thought some of the lines were similar, that's what actually caught my eye. That sounds like a really stupid design. I can't imagine they thought that was "correct".

    That 2016 Chinese Taurus is basically the Ford version of the Continental, isn't it? I just looked at a picture of it and it's a pretty good looking car. Nothing special, just clean looking.

    So over here the Fusion/MKZ, Edge/MKX/Nautilus, and Continental, right?

    So buy the Lincoln then. That solves your problem. lol Why is there an 8spd being used in Fords? Isn't this the second vehicle that has an 8spd since the 9spd has been plugged into some Chevys, which they co-developed?

    EcoTech is the first one that came to my head as well. ..Leaf.. lol But that's about it with the clever naming.

    I always find that somewhat ironic because you do get both but you have to choose which at which instance. You can have boost if you want/need boost. You cna have f/e if you want/need f/e. FWIW, my EcoBoost got sh!t economy 70mph and above. It seemed to drop significantly once you get to 70mph.

    EcoSport or Edge?? C'mon! I'd love an ST Escape!

  9. GM News: GM Plans On Building More Crew Cab Models Of 2019 Trucks

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
    I've never been in one but to think they're more spacious than a SCrew F150 is insane. I think those cabs are huge. lol 8 months later from BMW then another 10 months from Audi.

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in General Motors
    They're different. They have 3 different cabs on Silverados and F150's. Ram has a 4th, Mega Cab. That's actually super cool looking but it doesn't look like what I would imagine a 4 door coupe truck would look like in 2018..which would be crap.

    It's easy to mix Crew Cab and Double Cab from Chevy and Ram because they have four doors opening up "regularly" where Ford's middle cab configuration doesn't have exposed door handles and are more of a "suicide door" style.

    I'd agree but I think the 80/20 would include both Crew Cab and Double Cab.

    A lot of enthusiasts hate it because it's a Kia but I think it is a damn good looking car and it's a sport sedan, what's really not to like about it?

    The hatch is part of the vehicle. Why wouldn't that be included? I'll give you this is the best looking "coupe" CUV but... no.

    I, too, have a difficult time believing this is on a GM platform.

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in CES
    As far as looks go, I would buy this over a Bolt. Easily. As far as likely execution... Bolt still.. I'm glad Kia didn't try and make an awkward tall hatch car CUV like thing though. They just lifted it enough to make it look like a "real CUV" (Hahaha).

    As ugly as that gen Escape was, it still looks better than any of the "coupe" CUVs. Yeah even if they completely re-engineered the second row to make it look unique to the two row, premium, thing, it would have to save them a ton of money.

  23. Quick Drive: 2017 Cadillac ATS Coupe 2.0T Luxury

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Reviews
    That's two performance metrics. Like i said, across all of the tests. acceleration, braking, cornering, slalom, etc. Hey look, your quote is about exactly what I said. It depends which one the buyer thinks looks the best. Sorry, isn't** It is a wash.

    Another SUV coupe? Hard pass. They all look like ass.

  25. Quick Drive: 2017 Cadillac ATS Coupe 2.0T Luxury

    ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Reviews
    The ATS is behind the C and 3/4 Series in performance as well. Even V Series. It's great but it doesn't dominate anything. It's basically a wash between which car the buyer thinks looks the best because the numbers are all too close and mixed with no clear "this car does everything the best". https://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2015-bmw-m3-vs-2015-mercedes-amg-c63-s-2016-cadillac-ats-v-comparison-test-2015-bmw-m3-vs-2015-mercedes-amg-c63-s-2016-cadillac-ats-v-final-scoring-performance-data-and-complete-specs-page-5
