    People don't want it to change though. Somebody who wants a changed G basically want an ML/GLE. So go buy one of those... If you want something that's different, unique, doesn't give a crap about mpg and a soft, cushy ride but it would put it to a wrangler on the trails (OEM vs OEM) all while wrapped in leather with heated seats... you buy a G. Yeah yeah yeah probably one tenth of 1% even brush the grass along their driveway let alone see a track but that doesn't mean it isn't made for it and can do it. They're off road monsters if you don't get the 20+ inch wheels.

    Mercedes already has their cheapo cars for volume. They clearly don't want a large volume out of their hand built G. People splurging 120k on a brick could care less about 13mpg or 16mpg. If you want something softer just go to the other end of Mercedes' showroom and they'll sell you a GLE or GLS that fits exactly what you're asking for out of the G.

    The cost to engineer and update the S waaaaaaaya out due the G Wagen though. It has to be 10 times if not more than the G. S Class has WORLD leading technology inside and out and the G is basically the same thing that came over here but with new engines and transmissions with fancy leather and infotainment. I can't imagine the difference in development cost of a 2016 S Class vs a 2016 G Wagen.

    Sales flop? They sell every one they produce and at that they START at 120k. I don't remember the ratio but it's something insane like well over half of G Wagens produced are AMGs and those start at 140k. Yeah they aren't selling a ton but they are as old school as a vehicle gets as not much has changed in all of the years being for sale here. They've changed engines and transmissions and that's basically it.. All of the bones and chassis are the same. They're making a $h! ton of money of the G Wagen with only a few thousand a year selling.

    I don't blame the vandals.. I mean taking up 2 spots is one way of being an asshole but essentially taking up 5 spots? Fck that person. And for what? A C class? Anybody can get a loan for a C Class if they really want one.

    lol they have "black boxes" that PROVE it is the customers' fault! Why in the world would you take the blame when you have proof it was the customers' fault?!?! Customers try and throw you under the bus for their negligence? FCK THAT. They let the world know it was the idiot customers' fault, and not theirs.

    Where does it say they must be in production NOW to race? Regardless the there are restrictions on what can and cannot be changed from the production car so it shouldn't matter if the car is on sale now or 5 months from now..it will be the same car per the rules. I'm not sure how much you've followed the series but the first few races this season they talked about all of the teams sandbagging because of BOP adjustments for Le Mans. And everybody "saving their best stuff".

    To smk for the "classy comment", No Lincoln does not make "drivers' cars". But make cars people like to be behind the wheel in but not a "drivers car", Like the MB lineup hold the AMGs. Not many automakers still make true drivers cars. Miatas, pony cars, BRZ/FR-S, most of the Porsche lineup(excluding the SUVs), GTI, Golf R, 4C, etc... There are a handful but each automaker typically only has one, maybe two. Oh, I'd even throw in the Wrangler.

    So true, This is why I think all the Seat belt laws are just a pure taxation / money grab on the population. You cannot nor do we need to protect society against stupidity. It is what cleans out the idiots no matter how smart they are. So freakin' true. I HATE seat belt and helmet laws. I am an avid user of both and won't travel w/o either. I put my seat belt on to move my car around the driveway out of habit but I think it is absolute bull$h! for something like that to be a law. Unless all of our insurance premiums go down because they have less medical bills to pay then it's stupid. This is one thing that gets under my skin really quick. If people are stupid enough to not wear them, let them pay the price. If somebody is that stupid we don't need them anyway as a society as they must be short sighted, lazy, stupid, or all the above. So....if it takes driver awareness to be able to have driver interaction to help autonomous driving prevent an accident....then what is the point? 1. Just be aware while you drive in the first place and cut this shyte with LCD screens and GPS maps and connectivity and JUST DRIVE the PHOKING CAR!!! Do away with all these sensors and aids that are supposedly there to help us...they dont help us...they make us rely on them and make us lazier and dumber in the process... 2. DONT GIVE DRIVERS LICENSES TO EVERY TOM, DICK and HARRY... Let these distracted and/or poor reflexes and poor judgement human beings use Lyft and Uber services if those people dont want or cant use public transportation... +1 - as I've used all of mine up today. But I am on the side of "if one person has to die to prevent others from abusing a system that clearly states driver interaction is required" isn't a terrible thing.. Yes, a tragic loss... but one that should help advance the systems and HOPEFULLY mankind.

    I'd actually really like to get the ole Giant Talon 2 out this weekend! My parents actually both just bought new road bikes last weekend. A pair of Giants as well. I'm more of an off road kind of cyclist... the obstacles is what makes it fun to me. Oh yeah, on a less serious side! HELLS YEA BROTHER! SHIFTIN GEARS JUMPIN ..STICKS..?
  13. ccap41
    Short answer, YES. Long answer, Fck yes. I wouldn't take public transportation to work as I would always have something that I couldn't get enough of. I would legitimately be excited to wake up and be able to drive for 45 minutes. I'd definitely have a little mix of everything/brand for sure.

    ...You also think Panameras look good.. both first gen and second gen.. so your opinion no longer matters. Here's a random though.. Olds, that Viper pic is gnarly. I dig it.

    So personally I use Kirkland Signature Omega 3 gel pill twice a day from Costco. Just awesome packed liquid at a reasonable price. Here is one of the better reviews and top 3 Omega 3 supplements. http://www.bestconsumerreviews.com/omega-3-reviews/ http://pthome.org/best-omega-3-supplements/ This is what I take for my fish oil. I know it's probably not the best.. but this is the one supplement that I feel is an "all or nothing" type of thing. You're either getting our Omegas in or not. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bodybuilding-supplements/fish-oil.html

    Why does a hybrid HAVE to be a step up? Or "supposed" to be a step up? And if it is "supposed" to be the step up but it is offered at base price, that should be a bonus, right? I don't see anything wrong with that. Lincoln does it with their MKZ, The S Class's base S550 and S550e Plug-in start at the same exact price($96,650). I think that is all smk is trying to say is it shouldn't be a step up in his opinion. They should offer the hybrid and 3.6 at the same entry price.

    Sigh.. I need more caffeine. It has been fixed. Nice work, as always, and thanks ya!

    It's amazing how poor Mazda sales are when they make very good products. Sad, really.
  19. ccap41
    No waaaaay Ford and GM sold the exact same number of vehicles this past month..and year to date...
  20. ccap41
    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.
  21. ccap41
    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.
  23. ccap41
    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?!?
  24. ccap41
    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.
  25. ccap41
    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
