    Three features the GM twins don't have 10 speed auto 3.5L Ecoboost V6 aluminum. Thats all I could find (although there may be more that I'm missing) making it's extra weight even more of a mystery.
  2. surreal1272
    Are you kidding me? At this point, a blind one armed chimp could do a better job than Sergio.
  3. surreal1272
    Which seem to be the same as what's available on the Tahoe. In fact, the only thing the Expy has is a turbo V6 and aluminum while still being 200lbs. heavier (probably missed one or two features I'm sure but the gist is there). Regardless, it is still a much better model than the aging one it replaces.

    Very much an improvement over the current Expy and using the new F-Series interior helps a lot but that profile screams Suburban and the nose makes it look like a full size Explorer, which is already a few years old.

    Maybe it's because you're not slick, cunning, or smart enough to mean anything else or in any other way. Even if it is not about me, the comment stands because you are assuming that about others here, like it is somehow an insult. It is right up there with calling folks "snowflakes" when most conservatives are the biggest snowflakes around (like the conservative snowflakes who want to boycott Starbucks because they dared to offer a helping hand to refugees around the world). Your intent was as obvious as every other "veiled" post you make regarding anyone that doesn't agree with you. It's the same line of "rationale" that got your buddy banned from here for a second time. How's that for an ASSumption?

    No because again you haven't the foggiest what I'm referring to so maybe your best course of action is to not assume my intentions on anything.

    I believe it is high time to take FCA out back and bury it deep in the ground with a shovel and Lyme. There is nothing from them that needs saving here (speaking of Fiat and Alfa in general, not Dodge, Jeep, RAM, and Chrysler).

    Honestly ccap41, you haven't the foggiest what you're talking about and it tells me a lot about your hobbies. Have fun on your date. So how was your head when a white Canadian killed six muslims in Quebec City? Did the double standard hurt much? And here's a thought. Instead of offering meaningless one liners about your assumptions of other folks (like somehow assuming that I'm a "lefty" even though I have never voted democrat in my life) how about actually debating the posts that you wait daily to down vote? Back up your thoughts with reason and facts for once in your life.

    Don't put words in my mouth. I did not accuse you of calling me stupid. When you tell someone they haven't done their homework because their view doesn't align with yours, you are most certainly insulting ones intelligence. You further that by sidestepping the fact that we share intel with a at least a few of those countries, including the one WE invaded like Iraq. You have hung your hat on the lists exclusions based on the fact that they share intel with us (like Chechnya). Well so does Iraq, even more so in fact since they have spent the last 13 years fighting along side our troops and sharing vast amounts of intel. The fact that this is ignored is very telling and shows that maybe it was you who did not do your homework. Again, my stand is that this ban is nothing more than a glorified PR stunt and his tactics the first two weeks of office have shown his complete disregard for the checks and balances of the three branches of the US government (one of which he has spent a considerable amount or Twitter time insulting). Oh and thanks again coward (and no I'm not talking about you Hyper).

    Some things are better left alone. This is proof of such things.
  11. surreal1272
    We also shared (and continue to share) a ton of intel with three of those countries on the list but we will just ignore that simple little fact.
  12. surreal1272
    Like I said earlier, I can agree to disagree but don't insult my intelligence with silly things like me not doing my homework because honestly I am just seeing excuses in regards to now three countries that are not on the ban list that should be. For example, you claim we share intel with Chechnya but they have vocally criticized western intel. Sorry but that is not the sign of a willing ally. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rt.com/document/100000000000001000229871/amp?client=safari My point the whole time is this is a PR related half measure meant to placate the folks who voted him in. After what happened in Canada last week, I think we should ban white Canadians from traveling to this country.
  13. surreal1272
    Thing is that I get what you're saying but while you accused me of not doing my homework, you failed to see that your homework leaves a lot of wanting. You basically did insult my intelligence by saying that I haven't done my homework and that I don't know how the world works. I do know though and in this case it is worked by the crooked oil industry at home and abroad. That is our ONLY real reason for keeping any sort of relationship with our few allies in the Middle East and that is a crock. Btw, they do not control our dollar. China does. That is just another excuse given by folks to justify keeping a relationship with a country that supplied the people responsible for the worst attack on American soil. What I have found most interesting in all of this that you tiptoed around my other example, Chechnya. Hell, throw in Pakistan while we are at it. What kind of working relationship and intel is being provided by those two winners?
  14. surreal1272
    Again with the passive insult. I understand just fine. I also understand this. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/saudi-arabia-iran-213504 (for the record, I am not supporting any stance for Iran either. This just illustrates the weakness of SA and one of many reasons why they are not really our friends.) This, https://warontherocks.com/2016/04/saudi-arabia-is-a-good-ally-get-real/ and most importantly this. What is even more ironic is that you support this arrangement with SA because of this supposed economic importance, but are seemingly silent on us screwing up our economy with our fourth largest trading partner, Mexico, because of a pointless wall and accompanying tariff. Which is one is going to have a more direct impact? It sure as hell ins't our supposed allies in the Middle East.

    You are putting words in my mouth and I've done my homework. I never seen things in black and white but you seem to support the fact that our president does. This is why I don't generally discuss this online. You think just because my thoughts on this don't line up with yours that somehow I am ignorant and need to do my homework. I've done my homework on this for decades now so I don't need you making a passive stab at my intelligence on the matter. You don't want to agree? I'm perfectly okay with that but do not insult my intelligence just because we don't agree. That will get you nowhere. I will leave you with this last thought. Saudi cutting off to the world is also cutting off oil to themselves since they don't supply all of their own oil. The phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind here. That line of thinking is purely a scare tactic that would hurt them just as much, if not more, as it hurts others. Have a great weekend folks.

    They have definitely gotten thinner over the course of each generation.
  17. surreal1272
    I have not sat in the new Slade but I have driven an '09. I felt like they leaned a little on the firm side but not in an uncomfortable way (if that makes any sense). That 6.2L was sure nice though.
  18. surreal1272
    @hyperv6--It's all good though. We can agree to disagree on this.
  19. surreal1272
    Not saying they didn't have problems and I mentioned that the first time but to sit here and act like Fiat hasn't contributed to it is also a joke. Fiat is $h!.
  20. surreal1272
    And your little graph is from? Most of that is reflective of FCAs neglect more than a direct issue with Dodge or Chrysler. Regardless, Dodge and Chrysler never got ran out of the country for being piles of $h!. Alfa and Fiat were run out in the 80s for that very reason.
  21. surreal1272
    Actually I understand the dynamic just fine. Let me give you another example of the half ass approach of this ban. Why is Chechnya not on the list? We talk about banning rogue refugees but that is the home of the Boston marathon bombers. We have no real relationship with that cesspool country yet they are exempt from the list. That literally makes no sense and gives credence to the fact that this ban was just put in place to palace the feared masses (and to make it seem like he kept a campaign promise no matter whether it was actually the right thing to do). And again, we can get along just fine without Saudi Arabia's help, which has been like a lion helping a wounded gazelle to the nearest watering hole, right before he eats it. The oil excuse is just that, an excuse perpetrated by an industry scared of change in the name of profit. Oil is the reason for our insecurity, not terrorism. One led to the other.
  22. surreal1272
    For all their flaws, they are certainly better now than anything from Alfa, not mention the jobs kept here by producing Chrysler and Dodge products.
  23. surreal1272
    Your description is the very definition of the word "ally" and Saudi Arabia most certainly is not. I do agree with you about the old world mentality which I have said for years that we should cut off all ties with all of them, not just the ones that are convenient excuses for the news of the day. We damn sure don't need that oil when we have plenty here and in Canada.
  24. surreal1272
    I will keep this simple. There are people in this country already who want plenty of folks dead, and not just the Muslim scapegoats that are conveniently mentioned here. And if you believe that Saudi Arabia is our ally and shares intel then I have a bridge to sell you. 9/11 intel proved that.
  25. surreal1272
    Just think if the Native Americans had the foresight to build a wall in 1490. That is all I'm going to say about this immigration nonsense because I don't want to get banned for verbal disembowelment. About the ban list, I'll just say this. You can't call it securing our country when you don't include the country responsible for the most deaths on US soil. It is a joke in clown shoes.
