It's super gnarly looking but would you pay nearly 30k for something this small? I would have to believe it would only be available in high trim with added price for it as well...that's what GM tends to do..
-
Yeah it seem most people(and people I know and talk to) either want a smaller and efficient car or a SUV or truck for s larger vehicle. Nobody really seems to want large cars. If they want larger they want SUVs or trucks.
-
I know I'm being a little picky but the interior in general on the Conti does look very very good but the infotainment screen just seems small for the car and price it reaches up to. I think it should be an inch or even two larger and be a little more prominent in the center stack. Touching a smaller screen like that(which really isn't small but looks similar in size to my Escape's) can be work to correctly touch buttons while driving. -

Alright I want to clarify these sinking cars... Are they cars that we're saving? Cars that I'd like to see around in 50 years? Cars that I hate and want underwater? I'm kind of confused on that part..? I originally thought it was cars that I'd like to save but Frisky's post seemed more like 5 cars I want to get rid of forever. -
Is Ford Motor Company Falling a Step Behind Rival General Motors?
ccap41 replied to a topic in Industry News
I tried explaining this to him back on the first page here but because it is a Mustang and not a Camaro there is no rational thinking going on. Drew gave a great example of same engine losing power with rerouting exhaust and intake as well. That's just the science of the beast. -
Because these are fun..I'll do another. And while I'm in love with the GT I'll leave it out of this one but it would definitely replace the M4 in this lineup. These are all brand new 2016/17 model year cars. 911 Turbo S (TT3.8) M4(TT3.0) ATS-V(Sedan - TT3.6) Raptor(TT3.5) S550e(3.0 BiTurbo V6 + Hybrid = 436hp)

I feel the same way about it when I saw it at the STL auto show. It looked so much better with more of a presence in person. Not that it doesn't look good in pictures.. well, you know what I mean.
-
Is that a serious question..? 640hp or 400hp? V8 or V6?
-
I'm kind of neutral on the looks of the C7. In "regular" form it's only "okay" to me. But dressed up in its race track clothes on the GS and Z06 I like. Granted, in those clothes it looks very much boy-racer with all the little bits and pieces added on. Also, I think the Z06 was the only C7s that have had issues. I don't think I can recall a Stingray or GS with any issues.
-
And you act like a douche when you disagree with people. Like I said, and I should have stopped there like I said I would, you need to word things differently because you come off as a dick. Continental: Good car. Still doesn't truly compete with the Germans though. You "asked" I answered. Use me own words "against" me if you feel like that justifies your over-the-top reactions to people not thinking Lincoln is quite on the level of a true luxury automaker yet.
-
Okay, I can see what you're talking about. That makes sense. And yeah, I forgot about that(bolded area). I forget that everything is electronic and theoretically you can have your foot 1/4 into the pedal and the throttle is 3/4 opened making the correct power/air:fuel ratio. And yes, Escape 2.0T.
-
Uhhh... are there any other engine configurations..? But there are really only two that even cross lines at all in the ZL1 and GT500.
-
THIS is what started the "dramatic"-ness. They stated their opinion and instead of saying something a long the lines of, "I don't think there is too much chrome, I think it was done tastefully." you essentially challenge somebody's opinion with an opinion. WTF? Meaning, your opinion means more and holds more value than anybody else's.
-
You need to learn how to word things differently then because you came off as a prick and I'm not the only one who noticed it. That's all I'll say.
-
So it's a made up survey of his opinion.. so freakin' what? You get so overly defensive over people's opinions... And I would believe/agree with him, minus Buick. I still don't hear people talking about Buick as a luxury car. When I've been around people and luxury cars come up Lincoln does not until I mention the new Conti. Lincoln doesn't have the greatest name right now. They're working on overcoming dressed up Fords for the past 10 or so years(which they're still doing but executing better).
-
With my experience in my Escape I don't really agree with that.. OEM turbos on "average" vehicle(excluding race car-like exotics) spool nearly instantaneous(they're all tiny turbos). For example, when the 3.5EB came out in the SHO they marketed it as reaching full boost at driveway speeds. That definitely is not 1/2 throttle. And there are definitely different levels of boost. It isn't an all or nothing type of thing. I hear mine spool when I have the accelerator light enough to shift at 2,000-2,500rpm. It definitely isn't just a n/a 4cyl but it isn't utilizing full boost then either.
-
What poll or survey are you talking about to begin with? I also think Lincoln should have released this car with the 9spd. I know GM apparently gets first dibs on it but they needed to release this with more than an older 6spd when everything it's trying to compete with has 7-9 ratios. I realize they shouldn't have made something specifically for this but maybe held off a year on the release and in that time try and cut some poundage out of it.
-
And you don't think those opinions or surveys were based on the product? Look brother, pretty much everybody here digs the car but we're also not oblivious to some of its shortcomings as well or things we would personally change(like the chrome to some of us).

One day I'll have one as a second, toy car.. I love that that feels like the last generation of just a basic V8 car. Not much electronic going on inside, it's small, just a simple car. One-Dimensional? I have a couple of daily drivers in there.. I really wanted a 458 and that would have superseded the GT probably but I just like the rarity of the GT and thought it would be cool to have both of the gnarly pony cars of the same era. I could have easily chosen faster and better all around cars...

Two almost completely different vehicles. One is aggressive and agile and one is a soft cruiser. In the ideal world both in the garage would be supreme!

LOVE the idea!

What do you base your opinions on?
