My voicing my opinion should have zero bearing on how you live but you seem real quick to place the blame there. I would love to know how we are to blame for millenials acting like yourself, like the world owes you a damn thing. Btw, you should follow your own advice and mind your own damn business since you want to bring ageism into this. Sorry I don't get sucked into the lastest craze or fad that you will soon forget about in six months. I get out regularly, socialize, exercise, and all the other things that doesn't require me to be slave to a damn gadget. I have them, use them, and then go live my life but if you're going to sit here and criticize me and anyone else that doesn't buy into this fad, then (like I said) follow your own advice and mind your own damn business.

The fact that someone needs a 'game' to make this happen? You mean like baseball? Or football? Or Soccer? Or basketball? Like those games? What makes those superior to a Pokemon game? You're joking right? Let me put it this way, using CPs example. My wife and I went out for a nice walk last night, the same type of exercise that one would get when you play that game. After we were done with our nice walk, we banged. All of that happened without a phone much less a game. As for your sports comparison, it's not even close. I am talking about actual interaction without the gadgets. What exactly is so hard to understand about that simple concept? If a game is your only reason for venturing out into the world with other people, then that is a problem from where I sit.

All of which could been done long before the game ever existed. Sorry, maybe it's a generational thing (I'm 43) but I will simply not be convinced of the "pros" of this game when the "pros" could have been applied without the game, i.e. actually going out with these people and interacting the old fashioned way, sans the damn phone.

Per the article in question (in regards to the XT5). What About the 2017 Cadillac XT5? "The all-new Cadillac XT5 that will soon replace the SRX was invited, RSVP’d yes, backed out at the last minute, and then showed up a week after the comparison test. How would it have fared?" http://www.motortrend.com/cars/mercedes-benz/glc-class/2016/2016-lexus-rx-mercedes-benz-glc-lincoln-mkx-comparison/ The thing is Suave is that this rarely happens with GM yet it seems to happen a lot with Ford. That was the point of the MT blast write up of the Focus. Also, Nissan and Toyota had no problems sending out their outdated compacts and I do think the Focus would have been leaps and bounds above those two at least. It was weak sauce on the part of Ford though and the blast by MT was justifiably warranted.

Jesus tap dancing christ ccap. You are way overthinking and overstating this. Again, it was an observation as it related to what was being discussed and was mentioned purely as an afterthought anyway. If someone wants to down vote, so be it but telling me to "grow a sack" is pure bull$h! and an F on your part and does not mean it has any effect on me other than how I just mentioned it. Good grief.

Nah, they don't need to. The only real reasons they need to is to appease fanboys like yourself that are so stuck on one or two tenths of a second on one or two performence measurements. Good lord. Children caring about "votes" again. Grow a sack.Excuse me? It was posted as a simple observation. Caring has not jack $h! to do with it ccap.

Maybe because that is a different subject that perhaps you should start your own thread with. So all that Camaro and Mustang talk in this thread is what exactly? And I noticed you didn't mention anything to ones partaking in the Mustang/Camaro talk about starting a thread Don't care. I am merely suggesting it now. You can just stop with the deflecting bull$h! because I'm not buying it.For the record though, that discussion was brought up by the OP as further proof of Fords beef with MT. Proper context is your friend. Guess you also didn't notice that I put Bong on blast for his Ford fanboy remarks towards Olds either. Face it. You're not mad because of what was said or not said. You're mad because of who said them. My suggestion to you is to get over it. Face it.....you obviously care. This is your second reply to the fact. And no I'm not mad. I'm lol at your wannabe mod tactics of telling others what to do. Get over yourself. First off, it was merely a suggestion because Drew has already put his foot down on the deflection tactics. Second, and this is most important part, let me clarify my "don't care" remark. I don't care about your feelings at all. It had no bearing on your actual remark itself. Again, context. Your bitching about what I didn't say to someone else is what a kid says to their parents. "Well, you didn't tell Johnny he couldn't do that so why can't I?" Seriously.

Your conclusion is logically incorrect. You're confusing ANECDOTAL with empirical. Offer genuine evidence or move along, because you're technically derailing a thread that isn't supposed to be a debate about the merits of pokemon go, certainly not a place for people to bash it unjustifiably. You haven't even debated my primary points of contention. Yes I have. Maybe you should just watch the news sometime proving the obliviousness of some these "players". That is all the empirical evidence I need. You are just ignoring them because it does suit your stance on it and if you think that "socializing" around a game is actually somehow better than real human interaction, it is you that needs to get a clue here. Like I said, if folks want to play the game, more power to them but let's not act delusional over it like you are doing here. Oh and you don't get to tell me to move along just I disagree with you. No one forced you to respond to my post and if you don't like that, then maybe it's you that should move along. That is all.

Don't get me wrong CP. it's great that it's gets some lazy folks off their asses but also contributes to a further obliviousness to the real world, such as actually talking to people. The fact that someone needs a game to make this happen is a perfect reflection of the sadness that is society these days. Sorry but no one will change my mind on this so I'll just leave it at this. Be careful out there.

Anything substantive? Are you serious? Man, I see it everyday when these people come into my store, completely oblivious to their surroundings. I literally passed a girl in her VW playing the game WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING! There was a story just the other day of some moron running into a cop car because why? Because he was playing that game. How about instead of advocating social interaction through a damn game, we advocate those same people actually put down the damn phone for more than minute and actually engage with those same people? Empirical evidence literally contradicts your claim.

Good grief x2 I wasn't pushing anything nor was I giving you or him a hard time. I asked a simple question. Nothing more, nothing less. Moving along....

Sorry but this "hey it's gets kids outside" argument is a crock. Kids were already going outside with their damn phones, only now they're burying their faces in their phones hunting for imaginary creatures as opposed to Facebook, snapchat, or Twitter. Now, they are just targets on the road because they are too damn hyper focused on their phones.

So you can't answer a legitimate question. Thanks for the vote confirming that. Good grief.

I don't know but that should be a felony to do that to a car like that.

You are the one that said only trolls give a "phoque". Drew also expressed concerns about Ford and the publications, hence me asking you if you think Drew is a troll since you seem to think only trolls give a "phoque". That's not me putting words in your mouth. That is me asking you a legitimate question.

So is Drew a troll? I say that because he also expressed concern about Fords tactics.

Whomever did this should be flogged in public!

So you'll make the claim but don't provide any real counter to what I'm saying? Well, you sure convinced me. Me thinks you need to just stop bringing your sour grapes from there to here especially when you only want to present one side of the situation. There were conspiracy theories galore from Ford fans such as yourself about about MT rigging the comparo even though they declared the Mutsang the winner. Seriously, Costco must have been wiped out of tinfoil that day. Again, you cannot deny those facts which is why you have resorted to these simple one liners. Deny the facts? I don't need to counter your attack comments from M/T. Again missing the point. Btw, I have not denied my role over there. You, on the other hand, have come up with one excuse after another why Ford fans are not to blame for their role in it. But I digress.

Anyway, I believe the subject is about Fords problem with MT.

Really? How so? You're claiming they were attacked left and right while ignoring the reasons why so let's hear the counter instead just stating one little sentence.

So you've already declared victory from a figure 8 test Why not? Ford fans had no problem with the Eco boost Stang victory a few weeks ago in which it beat the Camaro in the figure eight but not in straight line speed. Btw, I'm not calling it victory. Just offering a different perspective. I just went a read that M/T write up and those Ford Fans were attacked left, right and centre for that - and I might add a few of those attack trolls frequent here too. 100% not the point and you know that. Guess you also skimmed over the fact that most of those Ford fans caught hell because they were going on nonstop about cheap gas in the Stang when that was never the case. Also skimmed over is the fact there is at least one Ford fan here who went just as nutty on the SS long term arrival You cannot deny that simple fact but again that is not the point here. My point has been clearly made.

Well said CP.
