    I think this one is a decent step in a positive direction though. It doesn't have the typical FWD shape to it, stubby and very sloppy hood, like my MKC. Maybe something is just playing tricks on my eyes though, lol.

    Oh yeah, that's 100% what it felt like driving the two of them and why I assumed the GLB had more interior space. I do have to ask then, why'd you rate it(GLB) lower on your interior roominess list than the GLC?
  4. ccap41
    I looked at this awhile ago and GLB and GLC are nearly IDENTICAL in exterior dimensions and, if I remember correctly, the GLB had more interior space. We had a loaner GLB then a loaner GLC so I got curious. I was thinking X3 and GLC were the comparable ones as well. Ohhh okay, that makes sense then. Thanks!

    This is GLC-sized? If so, it's not nearly as small as I would have thought. We've had a loaner GLC and I really liked it. It certainly wasn't big but I didn't think it was necessarily too small either. Has the X1 grown from the original generation(I'd assume so - everything has)? GLC-sized just seems quite a big larger than what I'm picturing for the original X1, which seemed about Ford Focus-sized with a 0.5 inch lift kit. And thanks, I assumed it was still FWD-based but the low, flat hood does a good job of hiding it, in my opinion.

    You may have called it, but you need to pay closer attention to the details, cap.

    True, but, I never said "I'm done." Also, I was only talking to myself. ...And get called a dickhead for talking to myself...
  8. ccap41
    Well, in all fairness, I accurately called it.

    Well, to be honest, it looks pretty sharp for a really small SUV. I assume it is FWD-based but I may have missed it. If so, I think the relatively flat hood makes those FWD proportions look surprisingly great. I like it but nearly 40k for something this size seems insane to me.

    Dear Myself, You have a serious issue...with being correct Sincerely, Myself

    ccap, you're right again!
  12. ccap41
    I wasn't wrong.
  13. ccap41
    It's disappointing, but I understand why. It's certainly a looker.
  14. ccap41
    You're not done. You're never done. Yes, and yours is still rated the same as mine, higher than most cars.
  15. ccap41
    Well, they both have the same rollover rating per the NHTSA, 4/5 stars.
  16. ccap41
    Well, it's taller, 65" vs 68", than an Escape/MKC. I'm also not worried about mine but I've been told I should be.

    Unfortunately, GM has already said this won't go into production but some of the key elements will be utilized in future SUVs. "The low fastback coupe won't go into production, but some of its cool design elements will be seen as soon as 2025 on EV and gas Buicks. However, they'll all be SUVs."
  18. ccap41
    I just hope neither of us roll our SUVs!
  19. ccap41
    Do go on and show me the education that you have on the topic, because you've shown so much thus far. Yet again, I've never disputed the fact SUVs have a higher risk of rolling over.
  20. ccap41
    Have proof of this? Because I've seen, and I'm sure you have as well, videos of the small overlap crash test destroying legs. Nah, you can do it if you'd like. It was a numerical example. You know what an example is, correct? It was an example of a very high percentage increase but of a very low number. Politicians (and more anybody trying to convince people) love to use things like this to skew statistics in their favor.
  21. ccap41
    Yes, exactly. The same goes with overall safety of a vehicle. Just because something is of a higher risk of rolling over doesn't mean it is necessarily of a higher risk of keeping the passengers safe. Yes, rolling over isn't a good thing but neither is taking a impact straight on. There are just so many variables in crashes. (this was a reply to Drew) You as well, Olds.
  22. ccap41
    Yes, I know it's physics. Yes, I know there is a higher percentage of rolling over in everything that has a higher center of gravity. I'm just saying, something CAN be safer than something with a lower center of gravity because you're equating safety to center of gravity as if rolling over is the ONLY measure of safety. I've also mentioned that I never purchased a CUV for safety. Not once.
  23. ccap41
    Something can still be safer all while being more susceptible to rolling over. Rolling over doesn't mean immediate hospitalization or death. Oh no, I understand the higher risk of rollover, but it's a negligible amount. Just because something is a higher percentage, doesn't mean it's actually a high percentage. 0.5% chance vs 0.75% chance is 50% higher risk, but it's still extremely low. (random numbers as I do not know actual statistics on percentage of rollover accidents)
  24. ccap41
    Is there anybody here who DOESN'T think they're more susceptible to rollovers? If there actually is, they need to go back and take some high school classes because it's pretty simple stuff.
  25. ccap41
    Wheelbase is irrelevant with rolling over. You may be thinking of a wider track?
