    So name all of their non-luxury vehicles then.. CLA and Vans? If those are the only two things taking them from luxury to non-luxury you're drunk. CLA is "meh" and we all know that. C Class and up are time after time touted for their superior interiors over their competitors and obviously they have chassis and drivelines to match so I'm missing where they are a non-luxury brand. Please elaborate on how C Class through S Class aren't luxury vehicles and (oops i just realized the GLA is also probably not truly luxurious either! So three vehicles sold in the US, not two.) GLC through GLS aren't luxurious?

    I love MB as well. They would easily be my first choice in luxury cars. Still luxury only here. They only sell the work van here. So like 98% luxury here. Ask anybody you know if Mercedes is a luxury brand and they will say yes. That's all Mercedes cares about. They don't need they itty bitty fraction of enthusiasts who weren't in the market for their cars anyway to care. If they had their whole like of trucks here, I'd agree.

    I'm totally fine with them on the exterior but I can agree that the interior could have gotten cleaned up a little better.
  4. ccap41
    Yup! and the Wrangler.

    Maybe I'm an idiot but I love the exposed hinges and screws. It's retro but honest at the same time.

    Everything pictured in the OP is available now.

    I know they're all "hidden" because the top of the page wasn't loading and finishing but they have multiple shades and combinations of colors available. Nothing from the G was taken from the Escalade's book. Trying to build and Escalade I'm only seeing three interior color options and two on the Platinum trim.

    That looks gooooood. They didn't take that from the Escalade at all... You could get a G in any color scheme you wanted today.

    That's so damn cheap.

    Ohhhh I see what you mean. I didn't realize what I had looked at was mostly just a power train for existing chassis.

    I did a little searching and it seems like people are trying things and parts already, which is cool. Hopefully the aftermarket grows with this car but I bet it'll be pretty small. This was a good little read and they made some pretty significant gains with intake, catback, and a tune. https://stingerforum.org/threads/stinger-gt-3-3tt-mods-begin.1062/page-2 Absolutely! My Mustang I had dyno tuned but I had it on a handheld tuner so I could go back and forth when I wanted to was like a 5 minute process to go back and forth. If I could have had it from fuel economy to performance in a couple seconds, that would be FANTASTIC. Although, I know m fuel economy tune would be on 87 octane and performance would be on 93 so that would never really work for me.

    Cummins has EV trucks they're working on already as well, although I think you just accidentally forgot because I thought you knew that. I think they're about ready for production, if they already aren't.

    I'm not OEM-only at all but that site just seemed sketchy, waaaay too cheap for a tune, and it's a piggy-back style system that, to simplify it, tricks the ECU instead of actually reprogramming the ECU. I just don't feel comfortable doing things like that. The idea of a dial seems fantastic but I'd rather buy a "canned" tune if I'm not sending my car to a dyno tuner.
  14. ccap41
    Ehhhhh That's not the kind of aftermarket support I would trust with my car.
  15. ccap41
    I hope this car is successful. I don't want all of the cool cars leaving because sales aren't the greatest.. SS comes to mind.
  16. ccap41
    i could see that happening when they're running AWD EV's in a car similar to this. The instantaneous torque will get some crazy times in the future. Buuuuut I don't think they'd be alone at that point.

    Thank you SOOOOOOO much, Drew! One update a week will be plenty. I honestly haven't even read any of the emails because there were just so many of them. Maybe I have, maybe I haven't...

    @Drew Dowdell There has to be a better way to unfollow or not get notifications/EMAILS from every thread we've posted in. I have 43 pages of threads I've posted in and in order to not get emails from them I have to deselect each and every once of those???? I get more C&G emails then junk mail at this point.

    Not at all! I dig the car and it is a very quick car. I wouldn't mind owning one second hand, to let somebody take the depreciation hit because I couldn't spend 40-50k on one of these. Hey, if your fail of the year was in December, it must have been a pretty good year!
  20. ccap41
    It most certainly does not do that. If so, do you have a link to said review/test?
  21. ccap41
    I don't think that's a blinker because why would we need a blinker in that location. I think that might be a blind spot indicator.. I'm could very well be wrong though.
  22. ccap41
    For the 28k the Abarth costs it's really difficult to beat because when I build a Mustang or Camaro I add things that swell the price to 30-32k(but with them you can certainly get some discounts but I won't include those). I think the biggest reason I've never really lusted over the small coupe/roadster is I live in such a flat boring landscape. On a daily basis I wouldn't really get to take advantage of something fun and toss-able like the 124/MX-5. I'll add an even larger twist to the game.. Hot hatches. if I had to keep the MSRP under 30k.. I'd probably get a GTI and I haven't heard a bad thing about them on back-road twisties either. Yeah, they're considered wrong wheel drive...
  23. ccap41
    That's actually more lame of a car than a 2018 MX-5, believe it or not. 201 1998 horsepowers..
  24. ccap41
    Agreed. But the price difference is probably like 10-15k so that's a difficult comparison. Went to their sites.. ATS starts at 38k and the Miata starts at 25k. Spider is the same as the Miata. Price wise, its more like a base Mustang/Camaro, BRZ, or Toyota 86 comparison. If I could get the ATS coupe with the same engine as the Camaro 2.0T that would be my choice. I just like the inside, outside, and visibility of the ATS so much more.

    Neat, but I'd still rather have the ZR2.
