    Exactly what Lincoln doesn't give a crap about and they made it loud and clear they aren't making a sports car. MT has never said that it is some kind of sports car either so I'm not sure why you're saying people will "take their word" to buy the Lincoln to try and line up against a CT6.

    One huge plus that I hope Lincoln will be engraining in all of their autos is this is the first Lincoln to not be covered with Ford switchgear. They finally have their own stuff!! I think something small like that will make a huge difference for those who say, "this is just a gussied up Ford". The guy is really corny but there were some small things I didn't know about the car that I learned.

    Oh yeah I forgot that my breakfasts consist of 2-3 hard boiled eggs and a protein bar.. The eggs are bland but they're simple and quick aaaaand cheap..lol I can eat chicken all of the time but I also prepare it differently each week switching between different spices or sauces so it isn't that bad.

    I don't think Lincoln cares it isn't matching or besting anybody in the performance categories as that isn't what it was designed to do. Image is for a comparison.

    Congrats @Suaviloquent! that's a great accomplishment! It definitely sounds like you're building a lot more muscle than you've ever had and that's great. I really messed up not taking a before picture/measurements back last April or May when I turned things up to 9(If I'm being honest I know damn well I could be eating even better). But at that point I found workouts to do instead of my own make-shift workouts and stuck to them as closely as I could with varying amounts of time and gym equipment. I weighed 188 and I was still working out 3-4 days a week, mostly 3.. But the day I weighed myself at 188, which was the most I've ever weighed myself, I knew it wasn't good weight.. So I made an immediate change. Like I said, I found a workout that was brutal and stuck to it as closely as I could and I made sure to bring my lunches to work. I was prepping about 4lbs of baked chicken(per week) and some form of vegetable that I'd like. I've been doing this ever since as well. I'm pretty picky so that wasn't the easiest but I found a few things to make. Well I finished the 12 week workout the third week of July(it was my float trip week is how I know that..perfect timing as well) and weighed 168. 20lbs lost in 12 weeks. I have since stayed within 2.5 lbs of 168(most I've weighed myself is 171.5 since then). That's a good weight for myself and I've slowly been gaining muscle so I've also been dropping fat still so that's good. I'm fine weighing around there for being 5'8". Buuuut the whole point of that is I wish I would have taken a picture of myself when I first started that at 188lbs to compare that to what I look like now at 168ish.

    I don't see the staggered updates as a bad thing because what @Stew said, he's right. Same as GM. The issue I do see is that yet another product was put on delay. If it was planned as a year or two stager that would be fine, but it wasn't. So, I'm not surprised.

    ..go on..

    I know what you mean but one is a hatch and one is a coupe and I presume they're looking at interior volume. I just know I was reading a "compact" comparison but I'm not sure which one and it said that it was one of 2 or 3 that had technically crept into the mid size sedan interior volume. Ill continue to look for it. It was only a couple months ago.

    EPA mid size sedans

    Thanks! Makes me wonder what trim my buddy has because I doubt he got anything fancy as it still has cloth seats and I don't believe the nav screen either. I'd think a good amount of hear buyers we close to the base trim with a package or small things added. I hope GM does well with this but the prices seem a little steep for entry. I believe it is one of 2-3 in this class that is technically a "mid-size" with how much it has grown.
  11. ccap41
    Ugh.. I HATE that they force you into such a high trim on this. I mean, likely, that's what I would want but it sucks for those who just want a cheap commuter with insane mileage. 26k is nuts, IMO. @Frisky Dingo do you know what the Jetta TDI started at?
  12. ccap41
    The 40% loss is just how every manufacturer will say if your engine burns up to 1qt of oil every thousand miles it is still "normal". Just don't buy an Audi EV. lol Basically, it shouldn't happen and is just there to cover their ass.
  13. ccap41
    That's kind of their problem is that is all they REALLY have going for them right now. The GTI/Jetta platform are exactly that, phenominal, but the rest of their lineup is very "meh".

    So we're back to limiting the ownership of these cars to well populated areas that can plow snow effectively because it's necessary. I'm experienced some in snow but are you experienced in rural areas that don't get plowed at all?
  15. ccap41
    No, it's just a stupid idea. I don't WANT the Challenger to be a piece of sh!t and dated. I WANT it to be great and compete to push the Mustang and Camaro more like great competition does.

    14.5-14.8 in the 1/4 2.0T Escape 15.2-15.5 The Cherokee V6 lays almost directly on top of that with the Grand Cherokee behind them by a couple/few tenths. Exactly, JUST BUY A CHARGER AWD! They start almost $3,000 cheaper as well. Yeah a "sporty" car that is only a few inches off the ground will be a huge hit when there are 12 inches of snow on the ground. Then we're back to the AWD system and what it can and cannot handle.
  17. ccap41
    So you narrowed the population down to like 5 people. 1: You and everybody in the US knows it is a SUV/CUV craze happening, not coupes 2: Add an AWD system to an already bloated car and performance is..like the Cherokee 3: How many people "won't own a vehicle w/ 4 doors"? Again, almost none. This is supported by the SUV/CUV sales and car sales being down. 4: Narrow that field down to the northern third of the US and you have 5 people who will buy these.

    GM would also put a proper "athletic" AWD system in the Camaro that would likely be capable of SS duties as well. Not just whatever is on the shelf(okay maybe they would because of the ATS/CTS).

    Dear FCA, Take note. Sincerely, Everybody

    It just doesn't make any sense at all to me. Buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Charger/300, Ford Edge, the new Equinox and Traverse do everything better... You can get a 4X4 Cherokee Laredo E(Not sure what the "E" is for but it's a step up from the Laredo by $2,000) for less money than this Challenger.

    There are already second gen Volt's for sale in the low-mid 20's. Used Volts seem like one hell of a bargain if you ask me. Unless you need a lot of space.. They just seem great.
  22. ccap41
    You might as well make them PMs because Drew will delete all of these as soon as he gets here anyway. You know he hates this sh!t.
  23. ccap41
    I'm not sure if you're interested in the used marker but there are first gen Volts for sale in the 13-15k range with very very reasonable miles. That's where I will likely look. You're also fortunate enough to live in a climate which is almost optimum for EV batteries. ..or maybe not as 100+ degree days is rough on them as is temps down to the teens.. But I see both of those in the nasty mid west.

    I actually met somebody who has a Leaf and they freakin' love the thing. I was talking to the husband but it's his wife's car. She actually commutes about 25 miles each way to work which isn't the shortest distance for a car that doesn't have a ton of range but he said they save a ton with it. If people were practical and actually ran the numbers I'd wager pretty good money that 100 miles of range would cover 95% of people's daily activities which makes the Bolt look even better. People criticize over range anxiety(myself included) when there are such rare instances that you would need to drive over 200 miles at a single stint anyway. Whenever I have a house of my own, I will absolutely own a Volt(which will be a cure for my range anxiety). Most of my days are driving 10-20 miles and a charge at night I'd almost never use gas. I would likely have to not charge it every once in awhile so the gas doesn't go bad.

    Do you have a linky to the interview?
