    That's a bold statement.
  2. surreal1272
    Don't care. You're just looking for an excuse to make a mountain out of a molehill.

    Actually he never said the Yukon would beat it. He only said that it would "hold its own" which is a subjective measure.
  4. surreal1272
    Shhhhh! We don't talk about that.
  5. surreal1272
    Did you actually read his last post? Good grief.
  6. surreal1272
    You do realize that you are only hurting your argument since right now Benz has only one EV and it is going bye bye due to $h! sales? Btw, he included the Volt since it is a plug in. As far as your Benz hybrid statement, are you telling us that they will have only hybrids and nothing else (i.e. Gas only models)?

    Read my last post before posting again. I specified what I meant by the Bolt being a CUV. And again, the X is a crossover which, by the very definition, is a CUV.
  8. surreal1272
    Exactly. Much like Tesla calling the X a "crossover SUV", it is just not so clever marketing going on here.
  9. surreal1272
    I am speaking tongue in cheek. No need to get literal. Fact is though that all CUVs are just tall hatchbacks in my book. You also missed the initial point when SMK claimed that Tesla has an SUV when they do not. It is a CUV that they try to market as an SUV with the word "crossover" in front of it. Sorry but that's a CUV any way you slice it.
  10. surreal1272
    The Bolt is a small CUV that is called a hatchback (which all CUVs are). Thanks for playing though.
  11. surreal1272
    Just stop. Tesla is just like every other make out there and every other make has prioritized CUVs over sedans because that is what's selling. To pretend otherwise is just an obvious case of bias to suit your argument of the day. "Cadillac needs seven CUVs to compete" "Tesla doesn't need a CUV to compete" That's how you're coming off right now. Finally, no one has an electric SUV including Tesla. They have an electric CUV and so does GM.
  12. surreal1272
    Please, by all means, enlighten us.
  13. surreal1272
    They will not, I repeat, will not sell 200K Model 3s in one year.
  14. surreal1272
    So in this world of yours, sedans are selling better than CUVs? Oh and they had 65,000 cancellations. Exactly my point.
  15. surreal1272
    This should have been out before the 3.
  16. surreal1272
    You were specifically agianst options for such a "low volume" car. Only after it was pointed out that others do the same thing, did you move the bar.
  17. surreal1272
    It is quite sharp. Pricey, but sharp nonetheless.
  18. surreal1272
    I do not care about volume. I only highlighted it to show you that low volume clearly doesn't matter when it comes to offering options. Surely if Benz, Porsche, and a host of other makes can get away with it, then so can GM. It's that simple, regardless of the obvious trolling attempt going on here. Because this is about GM. That's why it's perplexing him. If this were about Benz, the narrative would be completely different.
  19. surreal1272
    Thanks for proving my point because S Class worldwide sales are still low volume (and I should clarify that I was referring to US sales) by definition and offering multiple engine packages has clearly never been an issue for them. What's funny here is that despite having as large an R&D budget as Benz, you don't think GM has the resources or the need to spread that out on a world beating car.
  20. surreal1272
    So I saw this today and said to myself something I though I'd never say, "That's a sharp looking Lexus".
  21. surreal1272
    And? The Vette using two engines is not a big deal at all so adding one more is perfectly fine in this realm. Again, it's called choice which is ALWAYS a good thing. You are also assuming that this will be in addition to a regular Vette, which no one knows for sure at this point. If it replaces the current model entirely, then that makes this an even smarter move by GM to offer more choice in the engine department. However, even if they do keep the current Vette (front engine), then it still isn't a big deal to have three engine choice for the more expensive mid-engine model. BTW, you made my point about this by illustrating the 911 engine uses here. The Vette uses a similar formula so again, this is not a big deal except for those just looking to, yet again, nitpick GM. One last thing. How many engine choices are there for the low volume S Class? I bring it up because they sell fewer models of it than Chevy does for the Vette so I'm curious how you address that
  22. surreal1272
    Porsche has offered multiple engines on the 911 for years and is also low volume. Options are a good thing too, last time I checked.
  23. surreal1272
    Don't care for Audi at all. Just overdressed VWs that are just too vanilla for me. Just my opinion though And yes, a few sedans are selling but the key word there is "few".
  24. surreal1272
    Go look at overall sedan sales versus CUV and truck sales and try again to tell us that they aren't taking a beating. Retail overall is down which does not include rental sales. This is from a few months ago. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/07/03/june-auto-sales.html
  25. surreal1272
    Possibly. However my main point was that SMK is ragging on GM for being worth "less" than Tesla when Daimler is not far from being passed by Tesla themselves, thus exposing his double standard because he wouldn't dare bring up that fact as a negative against Daimler like he is trying to do against GM.
