Those three groups of people I mentioned are from three different states.Who cares what happens in a month? 75% of gym members only last a month too. But if somebody told you they got a gym membership that's a good thing even though they're spending a lot more money and they too will have their craze ended in a month. This Pokemon craze has reached a broad spectrum of people and most of these people are people that are super lazy to begin with being they're addicted to a phone game. These are the people that need this walking around the most. You do realize that you're proving my point right? Most is those same users will go right back to their couches in a week after the novelty of hunting for virtual crap wears off. Point being that a smartphone game will not keep people active long term and it should not take a game like that to get them off of there asses in the first place.And again, most of the folks I have seen doing this were doing the same damn thing a month ago, only they had their faces buried in Facebook or Twitter while they were not paying attention to the world around them. Proving your point? So you do critisize people for getting gym memberships when they first tell you about it because you assume they will just give up in a month or two? I agree that I don't think it will be long term but with the current craze you know some other company is working on something similarly "active" because it's such a hit. It most certainly SHOULDN'T take a phone game to get people active but sadly too many people are just that lazy these days. There are deinitely more overweight people than in shape people out there. See from the people I've talked to: My mom(yeah..seems odd but it's spread a large age range of people) had gone on more walks in thepast two weeks looking for Pokemon. I've gotten Snaps from my friend and his girlfriend who literally got his gf's lazy, chubby, younger brothers to go on a hike for this game. My sister(who's already very active - She's run 3 Marathons) has even gone out of her way riding her bike waaaaay more than she used to and she's already active but this makes her even more so. While I agree that a game SHOULDN'T be what makes people start moving around but if it does, that's great! I haven't even started playing it and I don't want to as I'm more afraid it'll be consuming time that I should be studying or weightlifting instead of walking at a leisure pace. But it's great that people are moving around and I've seen stupid 1 minute little "articles" on the news about people meeting and actually talking at the "gyms" and other major locations. Your bringing up gym memberships and comparing to this game shows you have actually missed my point 100%. As I said, everything you just said about "lazy folks' backs up what I have said here, on top of the fact that this game is merely a continuation of the phone zombie culture that needs a reality check, sans the phone. Good grief, I have never seen so many folks get so damn sensitive over a legitimate criticism, and whether you agree with it or not, it is legitimate. Have fun with your fads folks (and no I am not talking about anyone here unless the shoe fits of course. Just speaking in general terms). We will see you back on your couches taking your daily narcissistic selfies and blaming everyone else for your problems in no time.

I'm not going to say anything else about this because clearly some people get a little sensitive about this and it just makes more sense to let it play out like we know it will. In a month, it's on to the next craze (if that long). In the meantime, don't wait for the next fad to get up and go outside and actually enjoy the world. Do it today.

They absolutely were not going outside before. I've had family members, friends, relatives that have gone waaaaay out of heir way to walk or bike a heck of a lot for this game. Like the concept of "Pokemon" or not, it's gotten people to move a lot more in the past month than anything else.Then maybe it's different in your area but I'm not blind and I see these phone zombies out and about everyday. What happens when the fad burns out in a month (it's already happening according to posters on those gaming sites)?Those three groups of people I mentioned are from three different states.

Unfortunately obliviousness is the norm for some, and this perfectly illustrates my point about being face deep in your damn phone. If I were to post a picture of two separate people walking down the street with their noses in their phone, would you be able to tell the difference between the one playing Pokemon or the one tweeting their latest self absorbed post?

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. Look, i get what you're saying, and I'm drunk, so here comes me getting all deep and $h!..... I am someone who can easily find the splendor and wonder in life and appreciate it, without having to partake in some construct of society. I enjoy just being outide and taking my surroundings in. Some people aren't blessed with such a virtue, so if a game makes then get out and do, and be happy, I'm not going to piss on them for it. I get what you're saying and I'm not trying to piss on anyone's good time. However, all this hype should come with a certain perspective about fads and this over reliance of gadgets to make us happy. Going outside and enjoying it should not require a smartphone game to make it happen, nevermind all the other pitfalls of not paying attention to your surroundings while searching for imaginary dragons.

FTFY.Also, your post was written like every other person aged over 45; written as if the entire world and everyone's existence revolves around why-oh-ew. Good day. First junior, I'm 43. Second, I love seeing foolish posts like yours, like somehow you forget that you too will be my age (if you're lucky). I tell you what. Make a print out of your posts and put them away for safe keeping. Then, when you reach my age, I want you to pull those copies out and read them to yourself. Then and only then will you see how absolutely foolish you are sounding right now. Oh and those are some big words, calling me out because you think I'm being self centered when you proved yourself to be that way in spades. Seriously. You will someday understand the phrase "time makes fools of us all" when you get another decade or two under your belt.

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.

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.

Maybe because that is a different subject that perhaps you should start your own thread with.

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.
