    Without much research(only enough to find what else is in this category) I would be driving this VW, and Explorer, and a Durango and choosing from there. I really think the R/T Durango's V8 would talk to me but I think this VW looks the best and being the newest it probably does about everything other than have a V8 the best as well. The only Explorer engine that's truly enticing is the 3.5EB and I think you are forced into a fairly high trim to get that. CX-9 looks great but the lack of power..no thank you. Holy sh!t... The cheapest I could built an AWD Durango w/ a 5.7 is 45k. The Explorer is another grand for the cheapest 3.5 EB(Sport model). I realize the VR6 is no 3.5 or 5.7 but it can definitely be had soooo much cheaper.

    I'm going to jump in as I like that question as well.. But this is an Explorer/Traverse sized 3 row SUV, right?

    IMO, torque is important in every car that is intended to be a daily driver.

    All of those lame-ass things that us enthusiasts don't care about when bench racing.(being a smartass) Also, it's ~20k more so it ought to.

    Some of those are hilarious!

    Oh helllllls nah it isn't! The only real advantage the AMG has over the V is its 0-60 with its AWD.
  7. ccap41
    Yes, that's the half-assed "AMG". Hence the sub 400hp, V6, and "43". You know real AMG cars are 5-600hp! The 2018 E63 AMG S is 603hp.
  8. ccap41
    @dfelt That's the half-assed AMG. The real E63 AMG starts around 100kl(for some weird ass reason it's super difficult to just find a starting price for those damn things).

    It is cute that Mercedes had to take a note out of peasant Ford's book by adding a Drift Mode.
  10. ccap41
    All o the 65's are slower than their own 63's so we can axe those. The only performance metric the E63 S has over the CTS-V is accelerating from a stop. The porky 4500lb AMG doesn't turn or stop as well as the V nor does it have the top end the V has. It literally just has AWD. The GT is the only one what would truly whoop up on the CTS-V. That project 1 looks terrible, if it ends up anything like the pictures I've seen. Give me one of the other 3 hyper cars that look much more beautiful in the P1, LaFerrari or 918. So Mercedes only has the S, G and GT as "high end cars"? Funny story, lowly Chevy has a couple of cars that will shame 911's. You're so full of sh!t sometimes.
  11. ccap41
    If I'm not mistaken.. It whoops up on AMG's as well.
  12. ccap41
    Definitely needs a more powerful engine as an option. Something in the 230-240hp range would do well as Mazdas are typically on the lighter side anyway. Heck, they could probably get away with something like 215-220 as that's still a 30-40hp bump. (also just assuming tq would match or exceed the hp number)

    Easy there Frisky... Maths aren't every body's strong suit.
  14. ccap41
    Chrysler's hit is likely the 200 coming completely off the lots. So many downs...
  15. ccap41
    I see two GT's have been delivered... I can't wait to read and watch reviews on that car.
  16. ccap41
    What isn't high end about their V Series?
  17. ccap41
    In the phrase, " Driver's car " it even defines it as a "car" to begin with. While I will absolutely agree that I have not driven one and that they are quite quick aaaand that they do their intended job VERY, VERY well... there is no possible way a CUV is considered a "driver's car" to anybody who isn't just blindly in love with EVs. There's just no way. Yeeesssss the term is relative, to an extent. It will mean something different to each driver but 99% of car people will be able to agree that a Bolt is not a driver's car. It's barely a car..lol
  18. ccap41
    Yep, I'm a smaller car type of person so this is like right in my wheelhouse! I'd bet the RS3 has completely different brakes..lol
  19. ccap41
    Heck, there's an RS3 out now(summer is when it's technically released but they're 2017's)! That would be one heck of a fun car to drive, imo. 400hp? Yes, please. Agreed, 72, 84, 96 month financing on items that depreciate like automobiles is going to hurt us all soon enough... Fck'n ridiculous.
  20. ccap41
    So you'd basically move them all down a size price-wise?
  21. ccap41
    I agree. Cadillac doesn't have the name it should and that's why I think they should avoid the small vehicle game and build a reputation up first. Lemme look... CLA: 32,400 C: 39,500 A4: 31,200 A4: 34,900
  22. ccap41
    They're only 3k apart. ATS starts at 34,500 CLA starts at 32,400. The A3 is cheaper at 31,200.
  23. ccap41
    But is making a cheap/small vehicle like that hurting their large car's perceived value of luxury? I think they should stay away from anything smaller than an ATS and focus on what old Cadillac would have done w/ massive land barges but I know that won't happen. ATS and up and make like 2 different huge sedans and coupes the size of S Classes AND LARGER. They have the small car and volume thing to worry about at Chevy.. Let Cadillac be BOLD again.
  24. ccap41
    SUVs can be front drivers and nobody will know the difference. To cut costs here, of all places, is the smartest thing to do. Soccer moms don't even know what a canyon carver is, let alone want that.
  25. ccap41
    They don't need volume though. That's what Chevy, GMC, and Buick are for. The cheaper the car the less the profit margins so they will be the least profitable Cadillacs anyway.
