    So it looks like sedans and cars overall continue to take a beating.

    I had two 95 Talons (not the TSI sadly) and I agree. Very pathetic.

    Almost all of those are livery duty sales from what I understand. Funeral homes love them.

    So this is what vomit inside my mouth tastes like. Oh and pick a different name because this is an insult to a once decent car (the first two gens anyway).
  5. surreal1272
    Awesome! I knew I should have trademarked that though lol!

    With this, the need for a mid-engine Vette just became a forgone conclusion. The current Camaro, despite some of its literal shortcomings, just gets better performance with each update it seems. Just non-stop performance.

    The new one is so much better than the outgoing, it's not even worth comparing. Love the baby GC look on it. The trail hawk is even sweeter.

    Very interesting going with a three banger for this but the specs are impressive. It also seems like some are a little quick trying to correct folks when they did not check first to see if it was, in fact, incorrect. I'm sure there's a meme for this lol.

    Did not test for dimming last night but they were actually pretty easy to get to. Only had to remove the plastic surround piece (held in by one screw) and then I just had the four screws on the cluster to deal with. The bulbs sit in easily removable sockets and it was a good thing I did this. Turned out the one bum light over my speedometer had a bad socket. I swapped that out and now I can actually see how slow I'm going on the turtle lol! I had to do this years ago in my old ES300 so I had reference for how his was going to go.

    LOL! I don't know about great but it is definitely an improvement and I'm happy with it so far.

    Ditto and the Escala concept looks much better there than when it was first shown last year.

    @dfelt--Phase two (part one) complete. Replaced the old instrument gauge lights with much brighter leds ( one was out making it necessary to replace them all). Still need to replace the HVAC lights with the same leds (hence part one lol). Still trying to locate the proper trim bezel for the radio to cover up my cutting mistake but I am at least a few more steps closer to getting this turtle to my liking (which is now at 257k miles).

    All it was missing was a modern body instead of a hand me down. Otherwise, one bad ass ride!
  14. surreal1272
    Which is the same as the competition overall. What's your point?
  15. surreal1272
    No worries. I realized that I didn't clarify my remark which is why I followed up with a screenshot of the Denali in question. It's all good.

    And that is why Maybach has been a huge fail in this country. Everyone with that kind of cash saw for what they were, a stretched out S Class.

    I am referring to the Yukon only since he made the Tahoe reference. Guess I need to be more specific even though the reply was directly to SMK who made the Tahoe reference in the first place. Why the pick ups are different is beyond silly to me.
  18. surreal1272
    It is more than just trim. It also comes with the 6.2L found in the Escalade. It is a similiar formula used by all Luxo makes including your Benz.
  19. surreal1272
    Just the shape of the top of the dash reminds me of the shapes Buick used in the late 80s in to the early 90s. That just looks hideous to me.
  20. surreal1272
    And? The production model is no better unless you prefer the 80s Buick dash look.
  21. surreal1272
    The new E Class.
  22. surreal1272
    Yes because this just screams high class from Mercedes. Who designed the dash and cluster for that? Ray Charles?
  23. surreal1272
    Sorry but one top level trim car does not make it the car "world class". Yes, they are quick, and I glad you clarified that (regarding the performance) but that is about all they have going for them (especially the Cobalt). Fact is that the HHR lineup overall is anything but "world class" when it takes a top level trim car like the SS to even get rear disc brakes. Again, I'm not saying it's a bad car overall. My wife's has been a good little car but it hasn't been without its little issues (mostly electrical). These were all things that were pretty easy for me to fix but many of them should not have happened in the first place. For all of it's performance, the SS suffers from many of the same electrical issues. Again, just my opinion. And yes, the Europe situation is just a mess.

    As someone who's wife currently owns an HHR LT (the 2.4L), I have to disagree with your "world class cars" assessment. A decent car with a decent engine and cargo room? Yes. World class? Not even close (electrical gremlins abound). I do agree with your handling reference but Opel has been very useful (see Buick) for GM and does make them money in other areas, even though they struggle with actual European sales. Just my opinion though.

    $39K is cheap for a Benz, especially after your "if it isn't $70K, it isn't luxury" remark. And please, stop dismissing your own product. You made the claim, not even a year ago, about the success of the CLA and how it helps get people in the door who otherwise might not consider MB. You also do realize that their are many wealthy people other than ballers and rappers right (and no I am not talking about celebrities either)? This folks don't touch overpriced status symbols on a forty year old chassis and that is a simple fact. The fact is that the G is MBs Rube car and you'd have to be one to pay $500K for that mess.
