What Would You Buy Instead: Porsche 911 Carrera Edition
Stew replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
Give me a C6 ZR1 with the C7 interior and I would be golden -
Also, there are some tires that are directional and can't be rotated side to side
-
Not 2 full sets of wheels. 2 for the left side and 2 for the right side so theyall point in the corect direction instead of one side being backwards. They did this at least on 93-96 Thunderbirds and the 93 Cobra. You can still rotate front to back without messing the look up as all of these do not run staggered tire sizes. She does take well to blacked out look.
-
Not 17s, but still.....
-
At least with that wheel it isn't so noticeable, but would still drive me nuts haha. If i ever got an MKZ with the performance package or that black label edition, i would have to get aftermarket rims to keep my own sanity intact lmao.

I wish GMC would do a move off-road oriented Canyon sans the chin spoiler and with extra ground clearance. .

I kind of like the off-road version, not the other one though and not that interior, it looks so thrown together and incomplete....

93 Cobra didn't have staggered tires i am pretty sure, but then even the most basic T-Bird LX with direction wheels had different ones for each side.
-
True, but i think they shouldn't do them at all if they aren't going to make them match. just a pet peeve i guess. Oddly enough Ford was making correctly orientated wheels on each side back in 93 with the Cobra and Thunderbirds, no idea what happened.
-
I certainly understand that. Something else, i hope the next en MKZ gets and interior more akin to the Continentals. I am honestly liking that car more and more.
-
i just noticed something in the C&D article that really irks me about the sport package lincoln. if you are going to bother with direction wheels, you really need to have different ones for each side so one side isn't going BACKWARDS! I hate that and it is a big pet peeve with more than just this car.
-
I am kind of torn. i like the sportiness of the Fusion, but I also like the Elegance of the Lincoln. Hmmmmm. now jumping up to the reserve and adding the spot package to the MKZ, then of course you are 50k in and still missing he sunroof and safety options, but still. Also realizing that is what it takes o get the sportier suspension and torque vectoring.
-
So, which is more "magnetic?"

What Would You Buy Instead: Porsche 911 Carrera Edition
Stew replied to Frisky Dingo's topic in The Lounge
Oh yes, lol. -
I think those prices were comparing loaded to loaded. Ok, looking at both sites, there is roughly a 9600 dollar difference between the MKZ select 500A (cheapest with the 3.0TT/AWD). That does not include enhanced safety features, moonroof, or adaptive cruise on either. The basic features seem pretty comparable. I suppose the major differences are more power, better materials, and doesn't the MKZ get the RS torque vectoring rear diff? I see major discounts on the MKZ in the near future. I also think the front fascia looks pretty tacked on on the MKZ, the 13-16 one seemed more integrated.

Haha, that was my main choice, a R, but even adding a nicer set of wheels put it out of the price range -
I still think 18k is a bit much for better interior materials. THat said, I could see maybe a 10k difference. Also, any idea where the extra 200 pounds is coming from? kinda surprised me especially after seeing the Fusion 2.7 has an iron block and a lighter aluminum block on the Lincoln 3.0t.
-
Holy smokes, some people just lack common sense. That is insane. That and when they would give Corollas recommended ratings, but not the Nova/Prism and the only difference was the badge on the grill? Can't even remotely take them seriously.

So, Car and driver tested both of these this week. Fusion Sport http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2017-ford-fusion-sport-with-summer-tires-tested-review MKZ 3.0T AWD http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2017-lincoln-mkz-30t-awd-test-review The Lincoln was basically 18k more expensive. The MKZ was roughly 200 pounds heavier, but even with that it seems the acceleration differences should be more 3 or 4 tenths of the Fusion with it's 75 less HP. The Lincoln did pull slightly higher G on the skidpad (.93 vs .89), but took an extra foot to stop from 70. Honestly, i like the MKZ some better and would pay a few grand premium over the Fusion, but not anywhere near an 18k premium. Thoughts?

CR is worthless. most of their bad ratings seem to be based on infotainment system crap.
