  1. Wrong on literally all counts. You don't have to share body panels to have sales overlap. I'm not even going to comment on the rest because you have a habit of using imaginary numbers to suit your argument like saying that the current Tahoes price positions itself as luxury when it doesn't. Clearly the luxury position is occupied by the Escalade and to a lesser extent the Yukon Denali.
  2. Oh, I'm not denying the overlap but SMK criticizes GM freely on it while ignoring the fact that Benz does the same thing if not worse.
  3. Mercedes models overlap and compete with each other all the time. This is a fact that you seem to forget while criticizing GM yet again for the same thing.
  4. Not surprising to me as most people don't seem to even use it. And Mercedes should not be under $30K yet we will soon have the A Class. See how that can get turned around?
  5. In that market, reliability is all most folks need which why they choose Corollas over Jettas. For the record, I drove my buddies 2014 Jetta recently and it was "meh" to me but in fairness, I am just not a VW fan at all.
  6. Too bad they made the front end uglier. Otherwise, nice updates. Lowering the end price via option changes will absolutely increase sales. Not sure where you get such silliness from.
  7. A 1 Series sedan? Really? It seemed to work so well the last they sold one here so hell, might as well screw it up again I guess.
  8. Not sure why you quoted me as my comment was about the Model X being an SUV when it really isn't.
  9. Exactly my point in another thread. It is not even close to an SUV and barely qualifies as a CUV.
  10. The Bentayga and the CTS-V have an indetical 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds, with one being a W12 and the other being a V8.
  11. And you know this because a Yukon has actually been tested there right? Oh wait. All I know is that a mid-engine Vette will eat them all for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and that is what this thread is ACTUALLY about.
  12. Actually he never said the Yukon would beat it. He only said that it would "hold its own" which is a subjective measure.
  13. 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)?
  14. 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.
  15. Exactly. Much like Tesla calling the X a "crossover SUV", it is just not so clever marketing going on here.
  16. 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.
  17. The Bolt is a small CUV that is called a hatchback (which all CUVs are). Thanks for playing though.
  18. 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.
