    Diet soda is so hard for me to give up.. we have free fountain soda at work. I've done good with the energy drink thing. I used to drink one a day pretty religiously. Now I drink one every 2-3 weeks. I'm cheap so that one was relatively easy to cut back on, lol.

    Blah Blah Blah Mercedes is God blah blah blah. Same powertrain as the peasant S550? Weak-ass-sauce. I know if I'm spending 170k on a car it better not have the same engine as the 96k car. Heck, If I'm spending 170k on my Maybach I sure as hell don't want an S600 to pull up next to me and make me look stupid. S550 Maybach? WTF is that peasant crap all about? Why would Mercedes ever put such a name matched to the weak-ass, peasant, poor people version of the S Class? Mercedes needs to get their heads out of their asses and build some quality vehicles that make sense. "Hi, I own a 449hp Maybach!" "Your sh!t is weak. My 523hp/612tq will make you look stoooopid." That's a $70,000 premium to not even get a different engine or power bump. Pathetic.

    That make sense. They have done so well with the brand that people will buy it just for the "prestige" at this point. Good for them, but the people buying those aren't the most financial savvy because they really don't sound like much of a step from the SLT. Heck, I just saw the base engine in the Denali 1500 is still the 5.3. WTF? I mean I guess they're giving the customer more options..but that seems shetty. You have to opt for the "Denali Ultra Package" that is $7,450(currently marked down to $6700) to get the 6.2. Which, obviously gets you a shet ton of other stuff but that seems ridiculous.
  4. ccap41
    Can't that 6.2 also be bought in Silverados though? So it really isn't an upgrade as much as just giving them the top engine to justify the price. Not a bad thing, but it really isn't an "upgrade" if it can be had in lesser models.

    Bingo, Bango, Bongo. Denali + painted trim =

    Put the 910lb/ft Duramax in there!

    Do that many 3/C/A4 sell with their diesel variants? I think(granted just a complete assumption) that most in these luxury fields are wanting a little more athleticism and diesels kind of take that away as they're usually fuel economy minded and fairly slow. Agreed, that 2.5 was not made for Cadillac. Cadillac is too good for that.
  8. ccap41
    Oh okay, so it'll allow a little tail-out antics then.

    Does Sport Mode completely disable traction control and stability control or just makes them really lax?

    Hahaha I watched this yesterday.. What a freakin' idiot. There's a time and place to show off aspects of a car and where he was, was NOT one of them! That salesman got lucky he didn't hurt anybody.

    Not quite. Also, there's noting wrong with lining up with Lincoln when it comes to SUVs. SUVs aren't sporty or athletic. They're driven mostly by soccer moms who legitimately have no clue which wheels are powered. They all offer a soft cushy ride. Length/Width/Height in inches Lincoln MKC: 179.2 / 73.4 / 65.2 GLC: 183.3 / 74.4 / 64.5 XT5: 189.5 / 75 / 66 MKX: 190 / 76.1 / 66.2 GLE: 192.9 / 78.9 / 68.1

    One of the top 5 ugliest vehicles produced today. The next 4 are the other "coupe" CUVs that Benz and BMW make.
  13. ccap41
    There's room under 40k to start. Especially when we're talking smaller than XT5/MKX. Lincoln's MKC starts at 32k and MKX at 38k. Cadillac can do that exact same thing with the XT5/3 as the XT5 starts at 39k. Which happens to be almost EXACTLY what BMW and Mercedes do as the X1/3 start at 33k and 39k and the GLA and GLC start at 33k and 39k(give or take a couple hundred bucks).

    I know the standard "compact" and "mid size" sedans are competitive and all but this performance luxury category has grown to be the most competitive class of cars, imo. C63, M3/4, RS4/5, XE SRV, Guiia Quatrawords, IS F, ATS-V, and even Infiniti's Q60 Red Sport 400 is a pretty badass car on the lower end of the spectrum.
  15. ccap41
    Yeah, I'm not sure either. I was just stating what I thought.. A little more info would be noice.
  16. ccap41
    I thought what they were originally doing was just moving small car production down there while retooling a plant here for the Bronco/Ranger. Those two Mexico plants are parts and engines not final assembly. I feel like this is two different stories getting put together by the wonderful media.
  17. ccap41
    70k means luxury? CLA, C, E, CLS, GLA, GLC, GLC Coupe, GLE, GLE Coupe, C Coupe, E Coupe, E Wagon, C 'Vert, E 'Vert, SLC, GLS and B are all non-luxury vehicles because they don't start above 70k. I'm no mathematician but I think that's over half of their lineup.. It's everything but S, S Coupe, S 'Vert, G Wagen, SL and AMG GT are their only luxury cars... Damn, it appears Mercedes is just another peasant company.

    So USA with 2 brands did a third of what Europe did with 6 brands.. the math adds up pretty even there, bud. And with Caddy and Lincoln expanding and updating their lineups I don't think they're too worried.

    That color kicks so much ass! Maybe it's just a great picture of it or maybe it's actually cool but it looks awesome in this picture.
  20. ccap41
    Thanks ya! Yeah, I didn't realize they were as large as they were until I was trying to upload them and they took 45 minutes..lol I also didn't realize that is how they would be viewed. I was HOPING they would link like a youtube video but as you saw, they did not.
  21. ccap41
    Here are some videos from mine. This is actually the first time I've looked at them since hooking it up. They automatically loop. 2017_0214_181742_101.MP4 2017_0214_220230_108.MP4

    I installed my dash cam Saturday. I completely hid the wire other than what I took pictures of. I was very impressed with how easy it was to hide the wire because cars look like shet with wires exposed or hanging. A view from the driver's seat. I didn't want it in sight so it won't be distracting. The only other exposed wire coming out of the center console.

    @FordCosworth (I saw your pic in the other thread and instead thought I'd bring the topic here) WTF is going on over there? I haven't heard much but I've seen a few pictures and videos.. why?
  24. ccap41
    I. LOVE. THAT. FEELING. (with any sore body part) I was hoping my shoulders would have felt that way today because within my shoulder/calves/abs workout yesterday one of the lifts was lateral dumbbell lifts 5 sets, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10. Freakin BURNIN' !
  25. ccap41
    Weird, both are listed in the manual.. as far as I know it's a "PowerShift" but maybe they've tweaked it enough times since 2012 that they have it a new name ooooor that's just the name of the stupid toggle switch on the shifter..because that's what it's showing in the manual.. Thank you though! Its nothing crazy but it was a smart purchase..adult style. I wanted a Golf or Mazda3 but I couldn't find one with the options I wanted for my price range.
