My daily(s)... Range Rover Sport SVR, CLS 63, Sierra Denali 1500(yes, it can be had with a 5.3) Now for some toys! GT350/R and a Ford GT. Mmmmm Hmmmm.. However... I'm not sure how much the truck would get driven so I think I'd swap that out for what I saw somebody else post, SLR Mclaren. I've always LOVED those cars! Plus, if I wanted to tow any toys around I'm sure the SVR could tow enough. (^ who blacks out their car like this w/o tinting the windows????)

^ That's a good list Frisky!

Go Diesel if you do end up with a Canyonado, they are pretty darn efficient. Otherwise look at EV or Hybrid, there are plenty of choices that are pretty amazing. There are EV or hybrid small trucks for sale?!?!

How much extra did you pay for nitrogen? Nitrogen I question on as it just does not seem to make any noticeable difference. Yes I probably monitor and keep my tires in better shape than most so I never experience the following of why they say nitrogen is better. Benefits of Nitrogen: Slower pressure loss Reduced corrosion Improved Tire Life What do others think, does Nitrogen make a difference? lol funny enough, I was going to ask him how much he paid to allow a rape to happen. Absolute rip off in a consumer vehicle. For how much you pay, never. Ever car has TPMS now so there is no reason other than laziness to not just use "air". If your tires go low, MAGIC, a little light will tell you to check them. They also don't give you longer tread life if you check your tires once a month anyway, heck, most can check once every 2 months and be just fine. The only reason you will get "longer tread life" is if you regularly allow your tires to become under inflated. which, if the average consumer still never checks their tire pressures this will happen to a nitrogen filled tire as well, it will just take longer. If you're racing and you want a more consistent pressure for consistency, yes, maybe..

How much extra did you pay for nitrogen?

lol I really like the "small" truck choices between the Taco and Canyonado. I just can't justify the cost and fuel cost because I know damn well I won't be utilizing it for what it is made for.

Agreed. The S V6/AWD is a top contender for my next vehicle along with the Cherokee Trailhawk and Colorado Z71. Hey now, i named a few things lol. It is a really good car though. Haha just messin, I really do like the looks of the 200 and it sounds like when it is mated to the v6 the 9spd is a great combination as well. Are you looking to buy for yourself soon? I dig the Cherokee, it just wasn't in my price range when I was buying. They were a too new still. It really sucks our brothers Audi is a hunk of $h!.. It sounds like a really frustrating situation to be dealing with. I know I would be willing to part ways with it as quick as I could.

I went through that a couple of months back as well.. luckily mine was nearly dead center and easily repairable. Hopefully yours is as well.

Fun Fact: 95% of all students would ask for extra homework and abstinence education over a Mitsubishi Mirage. Hahahaha I love it! People buy Mitsubishis..?

Check out this recovery and detour the Vette took at Sebring!

I watched this video yesterday, I thought it was really interesting. They did a fantastic job with the whole package.

A little late but I think I got my list.. I just went with brand new, except my Terminator, for simplicity's sake. 03-04 Mustang Cobra - 4.6L C63 S - 4.0L (I might get the coupe as I'd already have the RS7 and X5 for more room) RS7 - 4.0L AMG GT - 4.0L X5 xDrive50i(terrible name to try and say) - 4.4L

I think VW would be helping themselves and creating thousands of Ambassadors by doing a proper high Blue Book buyback program that would get the illegal auto's off the road and get these customers into a new ride that would make everyone happy. What do they do to replace cars that were getting 40-50mpg though? I mean I know if I did the commute my buddy does I would be a little upset knowing my, even though it would be brand we, new Jetta can't touch the mpg my TDI could. Would they give them X dollars to spend elsewhere? I know that sounds ridiculous but at the same time they did kind of con the consumer into buying them anyway. I have yet to see any VW TDI actually get 40-50 mpg compared to the Hybrids like the VOLT or Prius. I know the diesel can hit the 30-s to low 40's but that has been it. If the EPA says to buy them back, I assume you will get a payout or can deal with suing VW. It really is all up in the air right now and it will be interesting to see comes out of the negotiations on dealing wth this. http://www.fuelly.com/car/volkswagen/jetta?engineconfig_id=103&bodytype_id=&submodel_id= Sift through it.. there are a lot in the 40's. Which, I didn't say 40's and 50's I said 40-50mpg. I guarantee if my buddy set the cruise on his Jetta going 55mph the instant readout would be in the low 50's on flat ground. I understand you're not going to average that but replacing a car like that won't be a gas-only car. Do these drivers want a hybrid? Do they want 40+mpg? My buddy says if he doesn't drive stupid fast like he usually does you can cruise and easily get 40+ mpg average. He will drive 80mph+ and still averages right around 40mpg, give or take.

I know my buddy would LOVE the opportunity to get another new VW(assuming they would give the owners a good value on their current TDIs).

I'm surprised you didn't find anything you didn't like about it..

Pssst!! Cadillac is NOT, repeat: NOT racing mercedes to sell millions upon millions of vehicles in every price class. How about just 1 car over $100,000?CTS-V..? Escalade..? You can be so douchy when it comes to Mercedes.

It's very much different when it's c sedan, c coupe, glc, glc coupe, e, e coupe, gle, gle coupe compared to the ATS sedan, coupe, cts sedan and coupe and camaro. It could be said that more vehicles off of one platform is better but when it's such low numbers is it really that great when the massive number we are seeing now decline? The hideous glc coupe and gle coupe won't sell forever. They aren't practical so when the economy turns down, like it inevitably will, they will be the first to stop buying. Many many man hours go into making a new body like the hideous gle and glc and making them compliant to safety regulations so it isn't like they can just use a computer and make a new vehicle off an existing platform and it's good to go. They have to retool plants and reengineer the entire body. As much as I like Mercedes I hope these ugly SUV coupes kick them in the ass because they're stupid and make as much sense as a coupe yet they look like dog$h!.

Eventually it will bite them in the ass. The strong sales we are seeing cannot be sustained if vehicles are as good and high quality as they say they are. Once sales droop they have all of these variants cost sitting out there. I think they've gone to the opposite end Cadillac is currently at where they have too large of a portfolio. I mean it is great to offer a vehicle for everybody but when people stop buying, because recessions are an inevitable thing, I think it will hurt them even more. Just my opinion on the matter though.

Just fixed it. Thanks for the heads up. No probby I do think the car is pretty sharp looking from the front. I dig the sunken in grille, looks Maserati-esqu in a good way.

..the name is wrong in the thread title.. Cadena.

The little teaser picture looks pretty sharp to me.

I added the optional black wheels w/o the Cup tires(1400 without 2000 with the Cup tires), gorgeous blue paint, RS2 package that added leather, heated seats,mirrors, steering wheel, power seat, Sync 3 with nav and $h!. and it ended up at $41,650. The only thing I didn't get was the optional tires and had I, I would have wanted the winter wheel and tire package as well. The wheels that are on dfelt's ^ but Blue paint! Oh yeah, not the blue I pictured either.. the bright but glossy blue that is similar to the show color. ..gotta be precise.. lol Also, I went with the purest of similarities to the Evo as I guess the pony/muscle car thing was an option.. but I guess if this was my only car I would still rather have an RS over a Camaro SS or Mustang GT..because RWD.. Yeah Yeah Yeah snow tires.. the same can be done on the RS! But I could get away with an all season tire with our mild winters.

Dude U are claiming victory and superior intellect over me saying that the CT6 may be able to get better than GM claimed 37 miles "even in cold." Then U go so far as to get specific as to how cold it has to be. Its irrelevant til U see what they vehicle actually gets. And what's it matter anyway to U? U aren't buying one or anything in its price range so move the hell on. But every electric vehicle ever had gotten a decent amount less miles "per tank" than in the summer or warmer months. https://transportevolved.com/2013/12/17/whats-the-real-impact-of-cold-weather-on-ev-range-this-chart-shows-you/ It's genuinely a pretty interesting read.

^ I like the Scirocco choice!
