They used to have ZERO FWD models and it's real easy to pad your "18" count when you want to include every variant of each main model.

I swore there was something I heard the other day about glass houses Casa...

This is one of those comments that I want to "like" but at the same time "hate" because it is true. I want to show that I agree...but hate it.. Ya know? One of those confusing posts like "my Grandma has cancer" on facebook. You want to show support by "liking" but you don't actually LIKE that she has cancer... Okay enough rambling. You get my point at this point! And that point waaaaaas....(just kidding. you get what I was trying to say there).

VW News: As the Diesel Emits: Volkswagen's CEO "We Didn't Lie"
surreal1272 replied to William Maley's topic in Volkswagen
Yeah. You did lie VW. End of story. -
No one has to accept fault anymore folks. That's what lawyers are for these days.

I'll take that Avista please, all day and everyday after. The Volvo is very sharp as well (never thought I'd say that about a Volvo)!
-
Oh lighten up Olds. It was merely the first thing that popped into my head. I know what they have used in the past. It was mostly because my neighbor has the exact same Azera as whats in the pic. Good grief people.
-
Actually this is what I thought when I first saw the taillights. Ah, i see that haha. I was thinking more that in some of the photos it appear to ave a lighted LED strip going around the taillights like the Charger and he Dart. A combination of the two perhaps lol.

That's kind of my issue with it. It just doesn't "click" for me when it comes to the exterior of it.
-
I know there will be more choices than blue. That is obvious. I just don't care for it in blue. That is all.
-
Bad color choice is what hurts it I think. That 80s blue just won't cut it IMO. Some different color combinations would be nice. I actually LIKE the blue, lol. It's the shape and location of the contrasting silver bits, and the overall sculpting and shape of the interior I don't like. Yeah, the silver is a bit much and it doesn't work very well with the blue. Looks too "1980ish" to me. The overall design is sharp though IMO (save for a few tidbits).
-
Again, that is pretty much supporting my "boring" assertion. Why would one make a boring looking car just because the rest of the competition does? The point is to stand out, not blend in. That has been Lincoln's problem for far too long and this does nothing to change that (at least on the outside). It does offer a solid powertrain though which could be its saving grace but I still don't think that it is enough in the grand scheme of things.
-
Hey man, different strokes for different folks, and I respect your opinion of it. I can see why it some people would not like the continental interior. I'm guessing Rhapsody Blue isn't to your liking. What would you like to see instead, though? Stating that it doesn't face any stiff competition in exterior design is pretty much confirming the boring design of it IMO. You don't set the bar in accordance to the "boring" designs of the competition. You set it above and beyond the competition. Just my opinion though.

The interior is definitely the high point. I just wish the exterior matched the "pop" of the interior.
-
Very nice on the inside but the exterior already looks dated to me and that's a shame. I had better expectations, design wise, for this.

Good lord man. Go to ESPN.com. They show three different angles of that hit and on top of that, they have Brown under concussion protocol. That sure wasn't from a shoulder pad hit either. Apparently the NFL saw the same thing so this discussion is now officially moot. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14550673/vontaze-burfict-cincinnati-bengals-suspended-3-games-repeated-safety-violations

No offense Frisky but how is his support of Cadillac any different from your support of BMW? That last remark was simply uncalled for. While I may support BMW, I have no problem openly criticizing them where it is due. I also have no problem with Cadillac or someone liking Cadillac. But mocking products from a competitor when Cadillac's own is even worse strikes me as rather hypocritical. I do not blindly proclaim BMW to be superior to other vehicles just because of my preference. Again, you do the EXACT same thing where BMW is concerned that Casa does where Cadillac is concerned. That is all I'm saying. BTW, saying Cadillacs is worse is pure opinion on your part and partially proves what I am saying here. Carry on folks. No, I don't. Provide me one instance where I have said that a brand- in particular, Cadillac- sucked, or remarked "F%*# them." in reference to them. You won't. You can't. Him and I are noth the same. And there is absolutely NO third party source that would dispute the 320i as being better than the ATS 2.5. It's like saying Scarlett Johansson is hotter than Roseann. It may be opinion, but it's unanimously agreed upon by any reasonable person. I have seen you demean others over their criticisms of BMW (myself included) more than once here and on other sites so I really don't have to rehash it to prove anything to you. No offense.
-
And I'm saying you are wrong. His helmet hit Brown's helmet while his shoulder did the rest. There are multiple angles that show this. Again, Burfict has a history of late hits and dirty hits. That is all because I'm not going to argue over it. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/10/as-a-repeat-offender-vontaze-burfict-may-face-a-suspension/

Note to GM: Build it now! Gorgeous concept!

I am going to disagree with you on that. I saw that replay over and over and Brown's head went sideways from that helmet hit. It's not even debatable and the penalty was more than valid for that very reason. Burfict has a history of dirty hits so this is not without precedence. Honestly, between that, what Pacman Jones did, and what the Bengals fans did when Ben got hurt, I'm glad they lost. Simply classless actions all the way around.
-
Burfict absolutely did lead with his helmet on that hit. Both teams played dirty though IMO. A lot of unnecessary action out there.
-
400,000 units combined from two brands isn't all that impressive, sorry. And that's not even questioning how many vehicles among those could properly be considered 'luxury'. I mean just earlier, another poster was ripping on the CLA. Last time I checked, you can buy a Buick Verano with the lame duck 2.4, a Regal with a virtually spartan interior, so on and so forth. and truly U can buy a BMW 320i, with its 0-60 in 6.7, and get seriously surprised by a 2016 Chevy Volt 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. Not to mention.. have U been in a BMW 320i??? LMFAO. A Lady friend of mine was duped into buying one.. talk about buyer's remorse and a constant phone call of "how can I break the lease without losing too much." Weak sauce interior... no real options. Eff BMW. A BMW 320i is a far, far better car than a 2.5 ATS. It's the same old vitriol from you as always. No offense Frisky but how is his support of Cadillac any different from your support of BMW? That last remark was simply uncalled for.
