    The 4Runners do still have that feature. Very handy indeed.

    Benz has two FWD sedans (one is only three years old with another new one on the way). Cadillac has one sedan that is on borrowed time and leaving this world. That is what we are talking about here. Sedans, not CUVs. Stop moving the damn bar when you're the one who made the "sedans based off of Malibu" statement.

    The XTS enjoys brisk fleet sales and is on the way out and the XT4 doesn't exist and when it does, it will be a FWD CUV (Something Benz also has plenty of). Meanwhile, Benz is set to put out its SECOND FWD lower end sedan. And you brought up FWD sedans which is why we are talking about sedans and not CUVs See the difference there yet?

    Good points but in fairness, I have dealt with some US born fundamentalist types who are much the same way (looking at some in the southern baptist community) as the man you speak of and they make no apologies for it. Like Dave said, the guy was just an asshole regardless of his culture.

    Sorry. Cadillac doesn't load their luxury stable with FWD sedans.

    See my comment to Drew. It's not so much the blue, even though I would not be caught dead with it. It's the total lack of contrast. Lincoln or Land Rover, it doesn't matter. One shade of blue with no contrast, is no better than an all gray, black, or tan interior. That color would also not age well in the Phoenix heat.

    This is all I see when I see that blue interior and it is not good.
  8. surreal1272
    Blue would be fine if it wasn't all blue throughout. No contrast and just wreaks of the 70s Contis of yore. It ruins a very nice design here.

    I would not be caught dead with this 1970s color scheme that Lincoln chose to show off last year. Just hideous and illustrates one of the many problems with this car. The text below it was really eye opening as well.

    Did their own thing? If you mean by going back to the posh rides of yesterday, then yes they are doing their "own thing". However, it is a formula that has been used by many others over the years, so their "own thing" is really just more of the same to me and the lackluster sales and so so reviews seem to reflect that. It was all hype with very little substance to me which is a shame because it had the potential to be something truly different for Lincoln and it wasn't.

    I have a similar setup. Screw cable and satellite.

    Porsches buyers not caring is not the point of my statement and you know it. Actually read what I said instead of what you think I said before your next bar move. A $140K Cayenne interior shows very little distinction from a $70K Cayenne and the same applies for Mercedes but yet you (once again) only levy that criticism towards a domestic make.
  13. surreal1272
    MPGs achieved by hypermiling a hypercar. Let that oxymoron sink in for a minute.
  14. surreal1272
    Then why bring up the interior? It is clear that this can compete with the AMG SUVs, despite your earlier claim that no one had until the Cayenne and until you have actually sat in one, further remarks about its interior are just short sighted and just outright trolling.
  15. surreal1272
    Footnote to the MPG statement. The Porsche 918 gets only 22 MPG (just saw that cap posted the same thing), not 26 as SMK claims while a Volt gets 37MPG gas only. The Project One will not get anywhere close to the Volt.
  16. surreal1272
    Let me say this only once because I am not going to waste my time here. No way a 1000HP Hypercar gets anywhere near what a Volt gets in overall MPGs, much less a Prius. You are literally just pulling numbers out of thin air.
  17. surreal1272
    It is $85,900 (staring price) and you do not know for a fact what it's interior is worth and much like the other thread, many cars (including Mercedes) do not have interiors worth the price tag of their cars. You definitely don't know what an optioned out Trackhawk is like so again, just more trolling by you. Do you think an optioned out Cayenne has an interior worth damn near $140K (and that is leaving off some options on their website) for the GTS model? The simple answer to that is "hell no".
  18. surreal1272
    Who gives two $h!s where the profits go? Do Daimler profits go anywhere else but Germany? Did they when they owned Chrysler? No. Furthermore, the difference in interiors is reflected in the difference in price. Point here is that you said that Benz finally gets competition for the performance SUV crowd when it was already there. Don't move the bar, yet again, to some BS about interiors and profits when that was not reflected in your original statement. And I quote, "At least someone is giving AMG competition in SUVs."
  19. surreal1272
    "and gas mileage better than a Prius." Well, there we have it folks. The furthest from reality statement of the year.
  20. surreal1272
    Good grief. Cadillac is not dying.
  21. surreal1272
    Literally everything you just said about the Vette can be applied to every German make, i.e. The huge price difference between an SL and an AMG SL with the same EXACT same interior. How many times do you have to be told this before you understand the fallacy of your argument?
  22. surreal1272
    Yeah, just ignore this entirely, all 707 HP of it.
  23. surreal1272
    I am the same way, as far as the OCD habit goes. Take this floating screen trend. It would drive me bat$h! insane to have to worry about the amount of dust that collects behind one of those, not to mention the ergomnic issues i would have with it. I'm not a clean freak but the dust drives me nuts while i live in the dustiest state in the country lol! So what's Mercedes excuse for their price jumps, when we are talking about the same performance jump (i.e. AMGs with the same interiors as the lower end models). You're just paying for racing performance there as well so why is it okay for Benz and not GM?
  24. surreal1272
    The fact that some feel like only the last 20 years of history is relevant in the car world, should tell you all you need to know. German interiors were $h! in the 80s, got a little better in the 90s (mainly BMW and Audi here) and then the others (Porsche and MB) caught up and started putting interiors that actually matched the outrageous prices of said cars. Benz and Porsche did not have interiors to write home about until the 2000s. Those who doubt this or have sudden amnesia to history should really do a few simple Google searches on the matter.

    The clock is slowing ticking on mass production ICE cars, despite what some naysayers think.
