    That's about the only different between a wagon and a hatch is the rear overhang.

    See those hatchbacks like the Mondeo don't really add much utility to the car outside of a truck. Yes, there is a little more space and versatility but not a whole lot. Why don't companies do a "short wagon" version of wagons and they would then look like a "normal" hatchback? Eliminate the rear overhang and it is no longer a wagon that people seem to be afraid of and is now a hatchback that less are afraid of and like.

    The A7 and Panamera are technically hatchbacks but they don't reward the owner with the space of a "conventional" hatchback like a Focus, Mazda3, or Golf. They are "coupes" because that's about all the space behind the driver there is(exaggeration but the sloped roof line leaves the back tighter than the cars footprint would suggest). That sounds like it summed it up perfectly. Heck, I'm just curious what a mid size sedan would look like morphed into a real hatchback(not that A7/Panamera crap).

    Sorry, 52mpg**
  5. ccap41
    Agreed. Makes me wonder if those who opt for the 53mpg 6spd will be touching or surpassing 60mpg when cruising at slower speeds like 50-60mph.
  6. ccap41
    Very impressive numbers but I'm surprised there is such a gap from the 6spd to the 9spd on the highway.
  7. ccap41
    Has there ever been a hatch that large that wasn't a wagon or CUV?
  8. ccap41
    That's because hatchbacks freakin' rock. Same size interior plus the flexibility of a much larger vehicle. It sounds like a no-brainer to me.

    To be totally honest, I could do most of my lists with all the same class of cars and be completely content. I just love the size and versatility of the C Class, 3/4 Series, Audi 4/5's, Jag XE, ATS, Guilia, IS(much less so than the others). They can be had in coupe, sedan, and convertible form. Hybrids, I4's to twin turbo V8's, 200-500hp and hardcore versions of the already hardcore versions(Black Series and GTS). I would easily take a C63 Sedan, M4 Coupe, XE R-Sport with the 2.0 Diesel and AWD(for some weird reason I'd just want a different drivetrain than the other cars), Gulila Quatrawords, and an S5 'vert for when I feel like being less of a man.

    Close, I'm 28. Oh I'm just giving you a hard time, bud. It very well may be garbage quality. I just think it is a very aesthetically pleasing vehicle. Would I buy one today if I had to buy from this class? More than likely, no. I like the C Class the most as it suits my laid back driving style the most. Ohhhhh or the XE... but then we're back into the reliability issue of Jaguar. Maybe they're better than they were 10 years ago but I'd still have to pass for now.

    You are absolutely drunk. This is one of the best looking cars on the market right now, including all the sporty coupes and exotics. They NAILED the exterior design, imo.

    The 2015 FX4s had the grill factory and I LOVE it! Now the FX4 grille is narrower and uglier, imo. But I love the body on ^ truck. The wheels aren't my thing(sticking out past the body) but that's for another thread.
  13. ccap41
    All three of them in the "right"(wrong) trim have the entire front ends dipped in chrome. Bumpers, grill, door handles, side mirrors, window trim(by far my least favorite one)...
  14. ccap41
    I agree. Black matches any color car whereas gold or blue(Ford) rarely match anything else on the vehicle and, imo, look out of place.
  15. ccap41
    So you disagree with Chevy offering the black bowtie and their "flow through" bowties then? I'm also only saying to offer it, not match the body color of every vehicle they're on. Or offer it through their own aftermarket catalog.
  16. ccap41
    Ford needs to do something about their logo.. They need to start offering a body color background because the blue sticks out like a sore thumb. Same thing with Chevy. I love that they're offering it in black but I think if they did the inside body color it would look way better.
  17. ccap41
    You're one of those guys who still likes CHROME EVERYTHING? Heck, half of the Dodge and Ram lineup are wheel and sticker packages!
  18. ccap41
    Well yes, the entire center stack is different but the infotainment screen with the buttons on the side along with the instrument cluster are absolute copies. Heck, even the shifter and surrounding buttons are very similar..
  19. ccap41
    Pictures added.
  20. ccap41
    I love it! I'm about those hot hatches! Sounds like a Hyundai GTI. Edit: Holy shet. The more I look through pictures of it they are absolutely copying the GTI. From the instrument cluster to the infotainment radio.
  21. ccap41
    I actually really love them! I just don't think they will look as good down the road with how poorly most people take care of their cars... I was really impressed when I read that the top of the line Expedition will have a power bump to 400/480(I believe). There is almost always that battle between 'money for luxury' vs 'money for fun'. Camaro SS vs BMW 440i or to get the same or similar performance you have to spend insane money for luxury AND performance on the M4.
  22. ccap41
    Yeah a buddy of mine had the Ion Redline that was supercharged identically to the Cobalt SS(pre-turbocharged). It was a pretty sweet car at the time. He, sadly, didn't take very good care of it though... Crazy then that I know of two people who've had or has them, you and one of my best friends. I knew they were rare but I didn't realize they only sold 9k in 3 years of production.
  23. ccap41
    Hmmmm.. I'm not up to snuff with foreign-only vehicles but I know the last gen Focus RS was gnarly and wanted. I had to use the Google machine to find some...lol Focus RS(last gen) / RS500 Nissan R34 Skyline Holden HSV Maloo Ute Aston Martin Lagonda Volkswagen Scirocco R I'll grab some pics if I get a minute.
  24. ccap41
    Thanks, I thought they all had the more powerful engine. They were similar to the GXP line for Pontiac, right?
  25. ccap41
    Absolutely, I guess I didn't realize there were adjustable dampers but non-special-magnet-style ones. How the fck do those ones work then?
