That's wrong. That was one G in a sea of Urus images and clearly you didn't actually look at the pics of hundreds of celebrities that have already gotten their hands on them but hey, that "G-Wagon" lol (used in quotes because you continue to misspell G-Wagen). After all, if Kylie Jenner has one then it must be good (please note the heaviest use of sarcasm ever).

Saw that lol. Just baffles me to think that everyone wants the Benz and apparently nothing else. Meanwhile, the real world upper crust knows that there are many luxury choices and Benz is just another player in it.

Seriously? That's the hill to die on here? They sell barely thousands yearly of the G-Wagen but because a few bad with money celebrities drive them, that's the be all, end all here? And get the entire "you know what" out of here with everything you said there anyway, honestly. That overdressed Audi (something you never point out when comparing it to domestics btw) has plenty of celebrity credentials right off the bat. All it took was one search to kill your argument about cars and their celebrity status preferences. Stop acting like Benz is so damn unique in every way when it clearly isn't. I'd take the GW over the G-Wagen any day of the week btw and I'm not even that enamored over the exterior looks of it. The interior is the seller for me.

That Semi has also been updated over the years and has similar cylinder deactivation tech as the GM. I should add that brand new tech inset always better for certain things. Example? That G-Wagen you love so much uses a brand new engine and powertrain but still gets $h! MPGs. Point being the MPGs don't mean much in this price bracket so just let go of the fake criticism just because we are not talking about a German SUV here. Which flies in the face of the "many people" part of his initial "assessment". Purely biased commentary by a known Benz fan. Nothing more, nothing less. And? That means they are doing the same damn thing as Benz when they slap AMG labels in everything. It's to boost sales. DUHHHH!

Same. Just a sample of some my Dali love. If you are ever in St. Petersburg, FL then oyu have to visit the Dali museum there. It will absolutely blow your mid to see those master works up close. The Hallucinogenic Toreador is worth the price of admission alone. That piece is 7 by 13 feet alone. Ii

You may want to cite “many” because we ain’t buying it. The “dinosaur” 6.2L in the Escalade is laughing at you from the top of the luxury SUV sales ladder.

As much as I hate those oversized tires, that Bronco is just badass. I even like the retro striping along the side.

Not at $156K for a Mustang, or wouldn’t lol.

While I was at my nearby Ford dealership, I saw these. Note the “market adjusted” price of the Shelby GT500. The Bronco was super sharp though (no price on it though) but damn those big a** tires lol!

Same. Not worth it when it comes to broken record "debates".

And all I’m saying that you need to expand your racing horizons. The Vette has just as much racing cred as the Germans. And I’m with ccap. That’s some big talk about delays given your worship over the oft delayed AMG One. The Vette will be just fine and the next bump will come soon, just in time for a fresh new round of excuses from the German car fan club.

So (after yet another page wasted on German car fans), I just want to say this. This is only the beginning for the C8 and for once, I am looking forward to seeing what they put out next.

Again, missing the point with your apples to oranges comparisons. That Miata does not race in the same series as the Vette any damn way. The point here is that IT IS BUILT FROM A ROAD SERIES RACING VETTE. Show me the Miata or Ferrari in this race. Maybe you missed where F1 racing isn't the only high speed racing on the planet earth. https://www.imsa.com/weathertech/results/ And again, only YOU are comparing the Vette to F1 cars because you don't think it's actually from a race car. This is from the road series racing Vette. Familiarize yourself.

And missing that point by a mile. The point is that the Vette did it without the turbos whereas that was the only choice the Germans had or were capable of doing at the time. Furthermore, you act like they are the only ones advancing while commenting on a thread about a MID-ENGINE Corvette that also has hybrid plans because duh, they don't sit still with one idea. Maybe you missed it, but the company that owns the Vette is also going electrified.

Toyota also gave the option to replace their Tacomas (pretty sure that’s what you’re referring to). Also, this is a $100K luxury SUV we are talking about, not a twenty year old Tacoma that only developed its issue after exposure to rust, unlike that Slade being defective right off the bat.

Stupid/dumb.

Maybe you should read this article, detailing some of that ride quality you think won't exist because of the engine. Judging by your normal level of non-researched criticisms here, it should be very informative for you and help you see where you are wrong regarding the ride quality. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2023-chevrolet-corvette-z06-c8-first-ride-review/

Funny. It mattered to you in the past whenever it suited you. (see any Tesla thread)

By that same token, German fanboys like yourself touted those high revving engines while slamming the push rod origins of the Vette. Now that they are moving towards a more modern setup for it, you try to flip the script by saying "Well, Vette fans talked smack about then" while ignoring your own levels of smack talk about push rod engines from GM. And I'm sorry, but I (and anyone with common sense) will take 670HP N/A track oriented demon over some twin turbo driven nonsense that will add to the grenade factor before you hit 75K miles. BTW, Lamborghini sales are up because of an SUV being in their lineup now. Last I checked, the Urus doesn't compete with the Vette so their original point stands.

Sorry but the only thing those engines have in common is the "5.5L". Everything else is literally apples to oranges between the two. Good grief. Of course they are talking about performance. Stop trying to take passive piss on GM just because it's a Chevy that will run down cars costing three times the dough while having a fraction of the long term reliability. You knew, from the start, what they were talking about. Then might I suggest expanding your race car knowledge? Again, no one had that misconception of a thought other than the resident Mercedes fan looking to take more pot shots at a domestic.

Nope. Just on loud ass motorcycles (I am not involved in your discussion with David so leave me out of that).

How about this, since you want to wax semantics over it? More often than not, most Harley riders, I’ve come across, are exactly how I described them. Of course there are exceptions but I never said “all” in the first place so I really don’t need to qualify my statement any further if you’re going to put words into my mouth. Loud pipes are, again, chest puffing accessories.

I personally used to hang with a bunch of them so it is more accurate and common than you realize lol.

Most Harley owners are like most lifted truck owners. Overcompensating and annoying for no reason other than to puff out their worthless chests..

Not an Audi fan but that (along with the Taycan) is one good looking car, EV or otherwise. Very aggressive styling for them. Perhaps just leaving the title be is in order here.
