    I built one to over 101k checking all the boxes but none of those "MB logo center cap"-like crap. Real options. Well, they've built 125k C Classes. WTF, man? And ya know what? They sold because they were great. This ZL1 would very likely spank that C AMG Black in every performance metric as well, for half the price.

    That's absolutely one of mah dream cars.

    Damn, I completely read over that after I read DOHC and 4v/cyl. I'd credit you with a nice catch but it was more me just being an asshat w/ poor reading skills LOL

    Flat Plane Crank? Where'd you hear this...? Or are you trolling...?
  5. ccap41
    Doesn't the C Class start in the 30's ad run over 100,000 and they've had Black Series and "S" models to the AMGs which add tens of thousands on top. The Black Series in 2012 MSRP'd for 125k. Go on about the peasant model adding ridiculous shet to raise the price over 100k. Personally, I dig the G Wagen because of its off-road capability is pretty insane for a factory vehicle. As long as you can deal with wind noise, it's great.

    I guess I just don't see the brand as a whole as luxury or mid luxury because they still sell basic work trucks and their low tier Acadias and Terrains still get cloth seating. Now the Danalis are a whole 'nother story. Those are like the Platinum Fords and are very luxurious. Depends what you value in a vehicle to say if they're overpriced. Size, space, quietness over speed and athleticism? I will be glad when they finally change over their switchgear to Lincoln only switchgear like they did in the Continental. I think that will make the brand stand a lone much better.

    I think you're forgetting that they make this gloriously American muscle car called the Hellcat.

    Not everything SHOULD require training though. If you're buying an EV and don't know how to use the internet... you likely shouldn't be buying an EV as you likely will not grasp some of the concepts regardless of an hour training session from a salesman.

    GMC isn't luxury though. Denali is.

    They, unlike you and I, get a opportunity to use every system on the market and often. One shouldn't need training on how to use their car. You don't get training how to use your phone or computer, right? Because their design is much better, they make more sense.

    I've never been all googly-eyed over MFT because...it wasn't that great. It was extremely laggy in comparison to others. So if you can find me going all googly eyed over MFT I'd like to know where that was. CUE is better than MFT but it isn't better than Sync3. If I hadn't had an opportunity to use CUE first hand I wouldn't have knocked it or continue to knock how I have. I think fake buttons where real buttons should be just sucks. I don't like that. Most people don't like it apparently. When have I ever knocked CUE when talking performance? I don't bring up CUE out of nowhere. You may call me a fanboy but I'm way less biased than you are. I at least can admit when Ford doesn't do something right or something they make blows. Maybe you're little biased self doesn't remember but I PRAISED the Cadillac on the 24hr win, I was excited when they announced that CADILLAC was going to be the racing brand in the Daytona Prototype class this year. I've also expressed my experience with the CT6 here as well. I fckn loved it. I thought it was great. I thought the way you could navigate the touch screen without having to reach and touch it with the "laptop pad" was awesome. But you wouldn't remember that because I praised it. I find it quite telling of your lack of character when you have to tell somebody to kill themselves because they don't think one aspect of a GM car is up to par, because it isn't. Pathetic.

    This car is going to be seriously BAD. ASS. Also, Take note, Dodge, on how to maintain a rear seat AND lose weight for said seat.
  13. ccap41
    Ahhh I guess that's fair enough.. Those do like marginally, and I mean MARGINALLY, better than a typical hearse.
  14. ccap41
    Wow, I didn't even think of the off-road alternatives. 4Runner TRD starts at 37k and what seems like an adequate and more capable Wrangler is in the 30-40k range.. being honest I'm not sure what packages are needed on the Wrangler to make it worthy but it would be dogshet to drive daily in comparison to a Compass.
  15. ccap41
    Did the Mustang out sell all of Alpha, again?
  16. ccap41
    If I had somewhere to take my vehicle off road I would absolutely want those goodies more. As it is, mine would be on pavement 99.9% of the time and the other 0.01% would be grass, lol. I agree with the navigation thing. I wouldn't pay extra for it.
  17. ccap41
    Answer me this then.. How in the fck are they supposed to sell cars if not all of their CUE systems are working properly? Because I'm sure as hell not the only person who's had an issue fiddling with the fake buttons. You can blame the users 1000 times over but that doesn't make the system any better in comparison to their competition. Sync3 is not MyFordTouch. Nuff said there. MyFordTouch is what was in my Escape.

    Brake assist? That $h!'s all over their commercials! It does have it.. Along with their parking assist. does the Compass have THAT?!?!?! lol 34k and no leather? Does it come with lube for the raping?
  19. ccap41
    I just built them both(Latitude not Trailhawk) and at just under 33k I think they are pretty much identical in their content other than the 2.0T. Put the 1.5T back in there and it's 31,640 for the Ford. The 1.5t is 179hp/177tq (2250rpm for the tq). Buuuut to get the auto tailgate is an additional $500 so they're about 2k apart. I didn't add either panoramic sun roof or trailer packages because they were both single add-ons. I did have to add the spare tire to the Compass though because..the Escape comes with one and, IMO, that's stupid to not have one. I didn't change either wheels as they're both 18's in Titanium and Limited form. I also added the Beats sound system as Sony's 10speaker system was w/ Sync3 & navigation. After trying to match everything up it seems more like a $1000-1500 difference with the 1.5T or a wash w/ the 2.0T. I don't see anything pictured!

    Every month it blows my mind seeing MKT sales.. Who in their right mind buys that thing?!?!
  21. ccap41
    Or... they could just make a better product. It is clear as day that not everybody likes it. It's bad when my Focus' Sync3 outperforms Cadillac's system.
  22. ccap41
    No, because I literally saw him touching the correct spot and it didn't work 100% of the time. It reacted the same for my finger and in video reviews I've watched as well when shopping ATSs.
  23. ccap41
    What? We're not talking about life or a chef's opinion(which are both subjective) we're talking about a price of a vehicle. So, to you, vehicle prices across the board are completely subjective 100% of the time?
  24. ccap41
    We can agree to disagree because I've been in a Cadillac and used them and while they aren't terrible they are far from the best. That's why they're knocked so hard, because what they are compared to. Others just do the controls better. Even the salesman that showed me an ATS had difficulties getting the "buttons" to work consistently.
  25. ccap41
    But there can always be a number assigned to the vehicle even though that number will vary by zip code. Even if it does have a piss poor resale for an area a number can still be put to that.
