    Your second paragraph is unrelated to the issue at hand. Those are regulated entirely different from passenger cars and for good reasons. For you to even bring that up shows the genuine concern that MB has been playing some dirty German pool like VW. Your sad deflection is a dead giveaway.

    Shall I show some things that Mercedes copied?I swear it seems like I've seen that somewhere before...oh yeah. Here it is. Oh and Lincoln has been using door mounted seat controls for a while.

    Hey! Better late than never!
  4. surreal1272
    Make excuses all you want but there is simply no excuse for pleather in a $50k+ Benz. No excuse. If this were offered by Cadillac, you would have a field day talking about GM bean counters and them being cheap.
  5. surreal1272
    No more boring than your average Mercedes with pleather seats.
  6. surreal1272
    . Thou cannot also not call a car luxury when leather isn't even standard. Funny how you dodge those little facts that show how gullible most Mercedes buyers are.
  7. surreal1272
    Hahahahaha Yeah except it isn't competing with a sport sedan. Of course nothing American has great interiors because they aren't German. *sarcasm* What's funny is for $7000 you get 2hp, fake leather(MB Tex bull$h!), no keyless ignition like the Lincoln comes with, No heated seats like the Lincoln comes with, No rear view Camera like the Lincoln comes with, 17 inch wheels(Lincoln comes with 18's) Yeah, what a bargain the E Class is. Exactly! What really grinds my gears is the fake leather in a car that STARTS at FIFTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. That's just insane and complete bull$h!. BMW and Mercedes are both extremely guilty of this practice but it is the one thing you won't hear their fans try to defend because it is indefensible.

    What it shares its bones with is irrelevant. Don't know why you want to beat a dead horse when Mercedes is going to the same thing with their new Nissan Pick..., I mean pick up.Oh and that E Class starts at $7k higher and quickly shoots to a price that goes far beyond a top tier Continental.
  10. surreal1272
    . See. There's the problem. You think it's of a case of a small car getting premium styling when there is A. Nothing premium about a $30K Mercedes And B. It's a case of the newer $175k S Class coupe using the same nose as a $30k Mercedes. I understand family unity and all but a car in this price range can afford to look more distinguished than that.
  11. surreal1272
    Not exactly helping your argument ccap. The Camaro and Mustang are direct competitors and the Mustang was referenced in that article. Just saying.
  12. surreal1272
    So because one is not a potential buyer of a Benz, they don't get to have a opinion on how their $175k car looks just like their $30k car? That's news to me.
  13. surreal1272
    Yet you say nothing about another posters constant mentions of Mercedes even though this is NOT Mercedes either.
  14. surreal1272
    Yeah, it sucks when companies like GM and Benz do that.
  15. surreal1272
    No they are not (unless you were being funny there). CLA: S Class Coupe Let's take a look at this knucklehead claim : Now; my claim that MB just recycles the same nose : You cannot tell them apart without seeing the side/ reading the rear. It's WEAK. Bless his heart. He tried Balt but it is clear as day. The Camaro and Sonic don't share anything up front. Not even close when compare to the CLA vs. the S Class Coupe.
  16. surreal1272
    Maybe Chevy should put the Spark's nose on the next generation Corvette.They put the Camaro's nose on the Sonic. I actually don't love the S-class coupe grill, I think the sedan grille is better. I'd like to see the Maybach S600 front on the coupe and convertible. You might want to put that pipe down because clearly they look NOTHING alike. Just sounds like you hate a dose of the truth. That CLA nose does not belong on a $175K+ S-Class ANYTHING. If this were about Cadillac, you would be having a field day with that fact.
  17. surreal1272
    Some things are just beyond words. This was on the Phoenix Craigslist site today.
  18. surreal1272
    And if GM scrubbed to your stealing sales suggestion, then their other brands would be struggling and you'd be speaking negatively of that.
  19. surreal1272
    You implied that it was a negative, plain as day. Everything you say about Cadillac, even when you think you are being objective, just comes off as a backhanded compliment half the time. Again, no one, I repeat, no one is cross shopping Hondas and Ford with a Cadillac. That would be like cross shopping those cars you mention with Mercedes, which I am also sure no one does (with the rarest of exceptions). And yes, Cadillac could build off of those platforms. That way, you have more ammunition for their "gussied up" Chevys when you go on your next trolling spree.
  20. surreal1272
    I could have saved you a whole lot of typing with the following. Everything you have posted about Cadillacs lineup can easily be applied to Benz. You think people aren't doing the same exact thing when they go to a MB dealership? You also contradict yourself to the point of making no sense. You say in one breath that it is a negative for Cadillac to be stealing sales form other GM brands and then, in another breath, say that they SHOULD steal sales from GMC and Buick. I was just shaking my head the whole while reading your outlandish post. Just makes me glad that you are not, in fact, running Cadillac. Seriously. Why in the hell would you lump in any Cadillac with a Honda Pilot or a Ford titanium trim? That just officially kills your credibility (which wasn't much to being with). That is clearly the job of GM's other brands. Buick competes with Acura and Lincoln so that Cadillac can compete with the bigger boys (and they do but they need more models which has been well discussed). Sorry to sound like a dick here but posts like that just hurt my head to read with all of it's absurdity. You know what? Maybe it isn't so absurd. MB is doing that with cars like the CLA competing with much lower end cars they have no business competing with because it just dilutes the brand). Guess I see why you would want Cadillac to go down the same silly path (because that tactic worked so well for them with the Cimarron and the Catera).
  21. surreal1272
    Good grief. Not the point SMK. THe point is that you were not paying attention to what he actually said and had to go out of your way to show some pretty pictures that probably account for less than 10% of the S Class sales out there.And yes I down voted you for it and stated why. Also, I swore this was about the Camaro spanking a BMW, not how many colors and completely unrelated car has. What is funny here is that SMK could only point out their most expensive car as having a "variety of colors". There's a reason for that I'm sure.
  22. surreal1272
    And, once again, you are not paying attention. He mentioned that they offered the lighter colors but the majority out there are of the black and drab variety. He never said, not once, that they ONLY offered the dark and drab. Go ahead and deny that if you want, but me personally, I have rarely seen any of those colors you have shown here out in the wild. Clearly, most MB buyers (and BMW buyers as well), prefer dark and drab looking.
  23. surreal1272
    Same old thing, like the Camaro, Corvette and Mustang. Yet those are considered America's best. Could you have made a more ignorant post?
  24. surreal1272
    So much fail in your post (more than usual), I don't even know where to start. Any production of more crossovers for Cadillac will not cannibalize sales from GMC and Buick. Thus far GM has done a much better job of making their share platform cars/trucks more distinctive. One only needs to look at the ATS and the Camaro to see that. Knowing that, it slams the door on your asinine claim of sales stealing. On top of that, who the f@#k really cares? If more Caddy's are sold, then that means higher profit margins. The last time I checked that was a good thing according to you. Seriously man, if you are gong to troll GM every chance you get, can you make it look a little less obvious?
  25. surreal1272
    You're a month late on this one Suave . Like I said in the other though, the Camaro is just a flat out beast! http://www.cheersandgears.com/topic/86548-2015-bmw-m4-vs-2016-chevrolet-camaro-ss/#entry785278
