    It's amazing how poor Mazda sales are when they make very good products. Sad, really.

    No waaaaay Ford and GM sold the exact same number of vehicles this past month..and year to date...

    Yikes...(on the vehicle...not on you liking it...different strokes for different folks. Im all for live and let live type philosophies) Did Mazda sell the rights to their MazdaSpeed 3 to M-B and AMG? It didn't have that little ricer wing, I don't believe... I was actually more concerned with trying to find an AMG badge because I thought i caught a glimpse of the one in the grille as it passed by so I was looking for the one on the hatch as it passed. I was at a crosswalk in downtown STL as it went by so I actually got a decent look at it because it wasn't flying past or anything. I honestly never thought I'd like something like that but it did it for me. It might have been part of the roof rack because it looked less "I just have money" and more "I use this for the utility" as well.

    Saw a GLA45 AMG today.. Honestly.. looked pretty dang good in person. The guy had a roof rack on top(for whatever) and it looked really sporty and like "I do adventurous things in my spare time" kind of way. I really liked it.

    After all these years, I finally have a slight influence on you concerning bad puns and jokes! Hahaha only took about 2 years.. not too bad not too bad.

    That Envision is going to be a HUGE hit. Nearly 1500 in a month where most dealers probably don't even have any in yet(My local dealer for example). ATS' sales are pathetic..which sucks because I like it and want one but it's hard to find a good used one if there aren't any that sell new! Camaro's sales surprise me.. kind of.. It is a more expensive car than the Mustang/Challenger so it'll have to prove to its worth to the non-car-people. Savana is still being sold too??? WTF? Where is Ford storing these E Series and GM these Savanas?!?

    Hmmmm so they're basically providing Uber and Lyft with discounted and used vehicles. Or is it still a rental for the Uber/Lyft drivers? If that's the case, why would they spend 180/week = 774/month (180*4.3) on a rental when they could buy for way less than that? If they're selling them their used vehicles, it makes sense to me. If it's a form of rental program, I don't understand it.

    Still confused where these brand new E Series are coming from and where they're going. The only ones I've seen in the past 5 years are ones that look 15 years old and beat to $h! work vans(because that's what they are). I see another 259 jabronis are still out there. (I could probably add 413 to that but I'll just leave it at 259...) Impressive Expedition sales.. that seemed to come out of nowhere. Fairly close to a 100% gain over last June. Unedpected from the Expedition...bad pun/joke...lol

    Kind of random...but... I tried to build a 2016 ATS online yesterday and it won't allow me to have the "black chrome" package and then add CUE to it.. It makes me get rid of the black chrome package in order to get CUE. Why???

    You're drunk. Don't drive, take a cab home... Careful not to too much so you don't

    They did with their Black Label package.
  12. ccap41
    Only in the U.S. Other markets had the choice of rear or all-wheel drive. I have edited the story to make this distinction a bit clearer. Okay, that makes sense then. Thanks ya
  13. ccap41
    I thought the current E63 was only available in AWD with a permanent 33:77 front:rear split..? Or was it available just RWD outside of the US?
  14. ccap41
    You might be right. I know that the Black Label package includes complimentary car washes and an annual detail for the vehicle. " For your convenience, Lincoln Black Label ownership includes pickup and delivery of your vehicle for all your service or maintenance needs, as well as the provision of a temporary vehicle." That's on Lincoln's site under the " MEMBERSHIP PRIVILEGES " SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Why would I pay for Black Label service if everyone else gets it now for free? Completely agree... lol

    Thought you would like this: http://opendefecation.org/ Plus this Report http://riceinstitute.org/blog/new-maps-which-country-has-the-most-open-defecation-in-the-world/ Reuters covered this also. http://in.reuters.com/article/uk-health-defecation-idINKBN0DO1CC20140508 Hmmmm interesting.. I'll have to read it more later in detail as I'm working now.. Yesterday's leg grind...
  17. ccap41
    I thought something like this was already offered in their "black label" packages...?
  18. ccap41
    Looks better than the last one... but the last one looked like dog $h!..so there's that. It might be a badass car but it still doesn't look right.
  19. ccap41
    Congrats, Reg! The new Malibu has definitely grown on me. When it was first shown I couldn't have disliked it much more but the more I see it the better it looks.

    Also, who makes the tune for you. I didn't see any pre-tuned tuners for a Ranger(like my Escape). I would have to pay somebody to make a custom tune to go with the tuner. Very true, who does the tuning and their experience with it. I also know both SCT and Superchip retire products as OEM auto's change. I cannot get a default tuner package for a Suburban from the 90's but they do still have the data and as such usually for a small fee will create it for you. I myself grew up wrenching on more auto's than I care to think about but still enjoy playing with the tune. Give me an open sourced chip and tuner and I will be happy to play with the tune! That is one thing that scares me the most to mess with, the computer's tune! lol I never plan to toy with the tune. I'd play with shift points and firmness and such but not the actual timing and stuff. It just freaks me out how much I could mess up.

    Not sure why but the web site for MB is weird as today the package is higher than it was the other day I compared them. Plus for some reason I cannot add the trailer hitch without loosing the electronic safety gear my sister wants. Strange, but no matter how I look at it, when you put the name aside and compare basic Facts, the Buick Wins hands down over BMW and MB. Or MKX? Not sure if size-wise it stacks up but it starts at 38k so I just assumed it was the competitive Lincoln. Yes looked at the Q5 as well as the MKX. She did not care for the styling or the layout of the Q5. The MKX was a good choice till it died on her on the test drive. Had plenty of gas but just stopped and had the engine dummy light on. At this point she made the comment, Fix or Repair Daily is still the moto at Ford? Was quickly off her list to consider. Will say that the last 2 months have been a drive of CUVs in trying to help her narrow it down. At this point I think she is set on the Envision. Only thing holding back now is the finalization of her divorce first and then a new auto to start a new life. Yeah that would leave a bad taste in my mouth as well, the MKX. That's good she at least tried both of those out as well. Cannot hurt to try on too many cars when they are that large of an investment.

    Won't depreciate like those two? Riiiiiight. Must be why you can pick up a "gently used" MB at great low prices. And it has that wonderful Jaguar reliability we've come to know and love for so many years. </sarcasm> If I were in the market for a vehicle in this price range...and only planned to own for a couple years to be covered under the warranty... I would consider the F-Pace. I just think it looks great and 340hp would be on the fun side as well. But absolutely NOT if it was outside of warranty. And that goes for about anything German as well. Everything "high end" depreciates like a son of a bitch. Maybe one or two hold 1-2% over the others.. but in general they all fall like a brick once off the dealers' lots. MB is no better than Jag or BMW or Audi save for a % or two.. Did you look at the Q5 also? That's in that same category of small-ish CUVs, right? Or MKX? Not sure if size-wise it stacks up but it starts at 38k so I just assumed it was the competitive Lincoln.

    Tunes can completely wake up a vehicle. I had my 04 GT tuned back when I had it and it was night and day. With that said, I don't know anything about "superchips". My experience says go with a larger name like SCT. Also, a quick google search shows a lot of Ranger owners using a SCT tuner and they all seem to love it.

    I'm not sure if you're talking in general or if you were referring to the image but that image is India.
