    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, I'm not sure either. I was just stating what I thought.. A little more info would be noice.

    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.

    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.
  15. ccap41
    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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?

    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' !

    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.
  22. ccap41
    Thank You I think I'm going back to 20% like I had on my Escape. This was the day I got my Escape back from getting tinted. I promise it didn't have any blueish tint to it in person. In IL I can only legally have 35% but that's weak.. I actually need to go back to the eye doc and make it so legally I can have tinted windows. I have pretty sensitive eyes.

    Oh I agree that it should be questioned. Without a doubt. But it isn't unheard of that a company uses the wrong length dipstick and there is a recall/tsb on it. Also, I should mention that the manual also states the same as the book. I've come across it before and I go back to the dipstick because customers are stupid but I was just bringing up another point of view on it.

    I know... I'm trying to be responsible now so I can play later in life. I only borrowed $6400 so my payments are itty bitty. like $114/month itty bitty. I'll never pay the minimum but it's always nice in case something does come up. First thing is first, TINT! I scheduled an appointment for Monday to have my windows tinted already. I've ALWAYS wanted to buy wheels for a vehicle I've owned but this is the first vehicle I might actually do it as there isn't a whole lot else I want to do to it. I'd like to get the JL Audio stealthbox that replaces the factory 8" sub with a 10" one and I'd mount the amp under the hatch floor near the spare tire so I'd get some bumps but I wouldn't be wasting any space.
  25. ccap41
    What would you follow, a book that you're told has all of the correct quantities and capacities or a dipstick? Which one is wrong? Because I've had it where I've looked up the model and engine, drained, filled, and been off according to the dip stick.. and vise versa.
