  1. So I'm wondering. Did Ford's stock go up after this "report"?
  2. You just had someone here tell you that MT is not the only site/publication that Ford has pissed off yet you insist this is all about MTs antics which, if you ask me, are 100% justified. Can't be everyone else's fault when they are telling you the same issues they are having with ONE company.
  3. Seems kind of silly to blame MT for the fact that Ford won't give them a real test car.
  4. Says the Ford fan. I rest my case. How exactly is he a Ford fan? Good grief man. Why be an ass about everything? He just tarred all car mags with the same brush of bias and owns a Ford, but you choose to throw shade on me for being an ass. Get outta here with that crap What the hell ever man. I have backed you when you said something relevant and legit. Sorry but this is not one of those times. Who gives two $h!s what he says about the magazines? He is right to a point and it's actually you that is trying to tar him with the same brush you do actual Ford fanboys (He has an Acura too so I guess that makes him a big ole' Acura fanboy too?), of which he is clearly not. Get yourself out of here with that bull$h! if you can't see the obviousness of your error. BTW, not one Ford was on the COTY list for 2016 so there went that little theory as well.
  5. The 2 Series is bigger and RWD so it really doesn't have much in common with the 1 other than "replacing" it.The 135i was RWD as wellMy bad. Just saw that. Why in the hell would they go the Mercedes route and dumb it down to FWD?On a side note, Make one little error and three people are there to pounce right on it. RWD. Got it. lol sorry... but in all fairness..i was the first.. ..CAFE.. but then again it is only for the Chinese market so who really gives a $h! here? I don't.. It's a business after all and they have to support the sporty stuff we like somehow. Sell the junk to the country that makes our junk and junk cars.. haha Lol you sure were! I just have no emotional connection to BMWs at all, save for two cars I had the privilege of driving for drunk friends (2007 7 Series and an M5). Nice rides but I would not wish the long term headaches on my worst enemy.
  6. The Camaro beat out the Mustang for COTY? He never said that. It's easy to deduce what is meant here is that the year before, the Mustang did not get COTY while the Camaro did the next year.

  10. Here is the offers in my zip code 98034 and no cash on camaro, but cash on Corvette and SS. July2016PNW-Offers.jpg That's the exact same "deal" they are running on Camaros here. Proof can be a powerful thing as opposed to just saying it's so.
  11. Don't know about other locations but the only Camaro deals on Chevrolets website is for special financing deals but no cash back. Any cash back deals are coming only from select dealers from what I've seen. http://m.chevrolet.com/current-deals.html?vehicle=&zipcode=85345
  12. Sorry but there was absolutely no real reason for the 1 series to ever exist here. Good riddance. China can have that junk.
  13. My question is why are they having so much trouble making lower trim models available? That makes no sense almost a year later.
  14. Funny you mention Knight Rider when they used a Mustang for the horrible reboot.
  15. You have literally missed every point. I guess that's what happens when you constantly have to deflect your double standards.Btw, who said Cadillac is a performance brand? They are a luxury brand with some performance models. That's your problem. You imagine scenarios that have never been brought up because no one else would be naive enough to do such things.
  16. Does Cadillac need a 500 hp Sedan? Crossovers outsell sedans gang, and are rising, sedans are falling. No point in having V-series at all if you only have 2 V products in shrinking segments. And Cadillac wants to go to Europe, the top 5 Established luxury brands in Europe (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, JLR) all make performance crossovers. A 500HP sedan makes more sense than a 500HP CUV. The fact that this has to be explained to you is baffling and would also fly in the face of the several 500HP sedans Mercedes offers.
  17. You have to be $h!ting me. I'm with Balth. The X3 M is an answer to a question that no one is asking. Also, those things are hideous on outside and the inside. Simply hideous.
  18. You are still pulling numbers out of your posterior though. The XT5 is 300lbs. lighter than the SRX which will give it a far better weight bias. It still doesn't take away from the fact that even less than favorable reviews of it have remarked about its better than average handling characteristics due to the AWD system. Face it. No matter what facts are in front of you, you will continue to come up with pie in the sky excuses as to why any given Cadillac can't succeed. That's all I'm going to say because I'm not going to waste anymore space here talking to a biased brick wall about cars.
  19. Now back up your AWD weight bias with facts and not pseudo numbers. The XT5 weight bias is now where near that. The AWD biases torque to the rear anyway. Again, it's driving dynamics have been well reviewed up to this point. Maybe you should actually read about it instead of giving hypothetical reasons why it sucks ass.It is nice to know that you always have an excuse for Mercedes and how the issues that affect a FWD Cadillac doesn't affect them.
  20. Again, I'm going to stop you right there. It's driving dynamics have been well reviewed so, again, you're showing your bias and ignorance. Your only case against its dynamics is that it's FWD which could also be applied to the FWD GLA. Besides, there's this little thing called AWD that is a great equalizer. That's what most Euro snobs want anyway. Do you see the problem with your assessment yet?
  21. The funny part of it all was seeing all the anti-GM crowd burst into flames after seeing their MT pro-GM talk get thoroughly debunked.
