Why can't you? Yes it's 99% cosmetic but think if the additional costs ON TOP of making the cosmetic changes like real shocks and body work. -
Just looking at where a Z71 can go with the 2.8 I don't think it is near as absurd as you think it is. All new body panels and these PRICEY shocks on all four corners along with the 4WD system.. makes things escalate pretty quickly.

That isn't a good thing.. They've been out of production for like 2 years at this point.. Weren't they only 2014's?

Cadillac News: 2017 Cadillac CT6 PHEV To Begin At $76,090*
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
I don't see why something like that would be completely dissolved and fuel economy wouldn't matter all of a sudden. -

As long as FCA is around they will be able to sell pollution credits. -
Why is it stilly if they're within 10% of price of each other? They both have similar intentions.
-
That's where I tried to go but for whatever reason the page was "simplified" and didn't break it down like that at all. I do like that they break it down to the T for us to see the payload and towing capacity. I've seen them tow but you're spot on. Nobody buys these to tow.. The occasional trailer for things is great but they aren't designed with that in mind. Am I seeing something wrong but that link showed the shorter extended cab(134.2in wheelbase) Raptor towing only 6000lbs? Same with payload, 1200 SCrew and 1000 extended cab.
-
But if you equip them similarly you won't be touching 60k in the Raptor as it just offers things the Colorado doesn't. 10k seems right if you aren't getting the optional Duramax. That seems more accurate than what I found. Definitely. Is that extended cab or super crew?
-
Yeah it's not made for that though.. Comparing it to the Raptor again the payload and towing capability are dog$h! as well. Looking on Ford's website it doesn't seem right because it still states the 12,200lb towing capacity and 3270lb payload. I'm pretty confident that those numbers drop a decent amount for the Raptor.
-
Yeah but those base prices are extended cab, 3.6 not the Duramax which is only offered in the crew cab. So I guess the 3.6 will be offered at a much more reasonable price but the Duramax will be insane for the money, imo. Raptor starts at 49,500(with destination added in). Add in the 801A package to get leather and 10 way adjustable seats brings it to 52,600 in crew cab form, not Super Crew. Super Crew was 55,600. I'm not sure what you added to get another 15k but it had to have been absolutely loaded to the brim with extra petty stuff. Jumping to the 802A($9300) package the Super Crew was still "only" 61,800. But if it's 10-12k more than a ZR2 at THAT package level you're getting features that the Silverado doesn't even offer. The 801A is realistic price comparison.
-
So I'm having a difficult time understanding where this will price and why anybody who isn't a fanboy would buy it over a Raptor... Here's why..(I do understand if you genuinely want a smaller vehicle because not everybody wants a half ton size truck. I built a crew cab, Z71, with the Trailboss package and the Duramax and it ran up a tad over 46k. Won't this be at the very least a 2-3k package on top of that?? That brings it to just under 50k and a Raptor is something like 52-55k. Unless I'm screwing up and can be built in lesser trims like LT or LS. I guess I'm just assuming it is added price on top of the top trim.
-
I guess for some reason I was thinking Escape and not the EcoSport. Or just anything larger would have troubles opening in a closed garage.
-
I wish my Escape had that! The last gen Escapes had that and I think it is a great idea. But can it be opened with the garage door closed? So many advantages and disadvantages of the swinging door. I'm kind of up in the air about it as of now.
-
I've definitely stood under mine for a few extra seconds preparing to get rained on.
-
Well I wanted a Canyon but to be honest I just wanted to find something different. The Hilux is super ugly compared to the Tacoma we get here otherwise the diesel version of that would have been a no-brainer because I love how it looks. The X3 was just kind of the daily/larger vehicle used for any form of people or "things" hauling. I'd LOVE a GTD! Such a cool concept, performance oriented diesel car. Way cool to me.
-
I think I've got a list and the Lotus wit full credit to @Frisky Dingo because it was a kille idea! Lotus Exige Series 2 Mazda Miata BMW X3d xDrive VW Golf GTD - 184hp/280tq VW Amarok 6 SPEED MANUAL! 178hp/310tq
-
Well they did say in the presentation last night that this is the first all new Super Duty in 18 years so I guess it was time for it. I didn't realize how old the bones were from the last generation.
-
I read that last night and was thoroughly amazed! That bests half tons of only a couple of years ago..except with 925horse-torques!

What Would You Buy Instead: Buick Encore Edition
ccap41 replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
Well 3 vehicles stand out to me over the Encore and Casa nailed it! If I can get the Bolt that is easily the one. If not, I'm inbetween the CX-3 and the Renegade. Completely opposite vehicles in terms of one is sporty on road and the other is sporty off-road. But honestly, if I had 30k for a SUV/SUV I think I'd step up a class to the CX-5/Escape/CR-V/Cherokee size. I built a Grand Touring, AWD, CX-5 for $29,900. This makes me think the Buick is a little over priced but then again they only send magazines their top trim plus additional options. If it really came down to it I might sacrifice AWD for the Tech package because LED lights just look so damn cool. @Frisky Dingo Is this step up in class size allowed? If so, this is exactly like the one I built online. Grand Touring in a dark grey.
-
There it is! I'm surprised it took that long to get a Fiesta ST and a Miata in there! I thought those two were gimmies.
-
I could see the ups and downs to it. The thing that I wouldn't like is just parking in general in a parking lot. I feel like there isn't enough room for somebody to park behind you and open your tailgate. I think it really depends on the owners' needs and what they use it for.
-
Really? Why is it that much better? I noticed it and thought it was a really neat/different feature but I didn't really know why they would do that? Or what the benefit of a swinging hatch or a liftgate.
-
Not bad but not great looking. I think the CX-3 looks best in the segment still. I hope the 1.0T has enough ass to lug around a less aerodynamic CUV as opposed to a car. I would bet the 2.0 will be the volume engine as it just sounds better suited.
-
Personally, I would have thrown a minivan into the SUV category based on it's "utility".
