  1. Well good thing its not FWD. It’s AWD and while you rag on the lack of cylinders, you skip the fact that it is over 400HP and pulls like a train and is faster off the line than the Benz E450 (with a price that is only slightly higher than the CLA45 AMG with its FOUR cylinders and less power). And where in the article does it mention a 112MPH limit (which doesn’t mean $h! anyway in the U.S. given that we have this little thing called “speed limits”)? Oh, thats right. It isn’t limited to 112. Here are the numbers from another source: TEST RESULTS Rollout, 1 ft: 0.3 sec 60 mph: 4.4 sec 100 mph: 10.9 sec 130 mph: 21.7 sec Rolling start, 5–60 mph: 4.8 sec Top gear, 30–50 mph: 2.4 sec Top gear, 50–70 mph: 3.4 sec ¼-mile: 12.9 sec @ 107 mph Top speed (governor limited): 131 mph Braking, 70–0 mph: 152 ft Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.96 g If you’re going to slam a non-Mercedes car, make sure you slam it with actual facts.
  2. Missed the point by a country mile. We will skip the part where, duh, yes the CLA is lighter. That’s because it’s a smaller car and add to the fact that the Volvo is a hybrid. It does not change my point or statement whatsoever. The time you spend tearing down anything without that precious tri-Star on the hood is simply baffling.
  3. Your FWD assertions are irrelevant since this an AWD only model. The Mercedes CLA 45 AMG doesn’t seems to face the same scrutiny despite its FWD roots though. I wonder why?
  4. Edited correction above (because that’s what I get for multi-tasking lol)
  5. Easy there snowflake. It’s called a joke. However, it’s amusing that you think it’s somehow okay to be a serial 30 year serial adulterer so long as he being faithful while he’s president (that you know of). And for the record, everyone with a brain knew that Bill was a horn dog but the GOP decided to spend $50 million (courtesy of the American taxpayer) to prove that he lied about getting a blowjob. I will say this. At least Bill and his dog wife had the balls to testify in person in front of Congress, unlike Mr. Written Answers only. Sorry but the truly best joke here is you for not getting the joke in the first damn place. “Sleepy Joe” You misspelled Trump there.
  6. “Mr. President, we have Stormy Daniels on line one” LMMFAO! You have to be high out of your mind to act like the p**** grabber himself has been “faithful”. That’s the best joke of the thread! And you haven’t “heard a whisper”, because they’ve been too busy screaming it.
  7. Except he never he said he was mystified as to where they got the inspiration from. He actually made it pretty clear that it was 20th century inspiration on a 21st century body And it doesn’t really work for him. Seems that point flew right over your head. Twelve years in Arizona and tons of Wranglers rolling around, clean as a whistle with not a speck of off road dirt to be seen on them. Take that however you want.
  8. So because he doesn’t care for the throwback look, he doesn’t have a clue? Referring to a 54 year old version of it doesn’t really take away from his complaint. I’m with Balth on this. While nostalgic, that thing was a pile back in the day, even by 1966 standards. Of course, some don’t have a clue and just cling to the old ways and the old days.
  9. Demand always matters. No demand=no money.
  10. The last gen Colorado had a 5.3L V8 option. The fit isn’t the problem. Demand would be. A TT V6 is the way to go in one of those/
  11. So you’re basing your argument over company value? Not product (Which is a mixed bag at best). Not reliability (something Tesla thus far doesn’t have). Not sales (again, mixed bag). That “value” is nothing more than over inflated stock. The Cyber Truck, design wise, is utter garbage and not ONE person, that is considering a Raptor or the RAM, would even look twice at that monstrosity. Fact. Your first sentence also applies toe Benz and the AMG lineup but we don’t talk about that. Easy money.
  12. To the smarta** in the back, I mean @ocnblu. Autocorrect fail that I didn’t catch in time. Since you were so concerned, it should have read 2012 CAMARO ZL1. Thank you for your continued concern and support. You may now resume hugging your Donald Trump life size cut out. Two things. First, the CT5-V is not the same top trim (power wise) as the previous gen CTS sedans, so that is a pointless comparisons. When the Blackwing comes out, then you its apples to apples. Second, like the last CTS-V, there isn’t a time for the CT5-V so again, your hypothetical bar moving means nothing.
  13. The CLA45 S did the time in 7:48 and seeing as how there was never an official ring time for the last gen CTS-V (2014-19), you cannot even say for certain what the time of a LARGER car (than the CLA) will be. I do know that the 2012 Cameron ZL1 does the time in a faster 7:41 time. Yes, a Chevy spanking Benz but shhhhhh, we don’t talk about that. Point here is, even your hypothetical bar moving doesn’t pass the mustard here. Again, about the Lyric...
  14. Funny. Don’t remember you expressing that “America” sentiment when you bought that Mexican made Compass, all while typing your thoughts on a device that is also not made in America. Regarding the subject at hand, this is a smart move by Hyundai but they have to be smart about it. A couple $60K EVs will not cut it and will not succeed long term. There has to be a range of entry line Models (Starting at $30K) to even get folks in the door. And who gives two Fs about how Elon Musk is worth? It’s all in stocks anyway. He, himself, probably has just enough cash to support his weed habit.
  15. Going inside your brain is a bit like clearing cobwebs out of a hundred year old attic full of useless things. I, however, don’t need to make that journey. What I presented is based off of your own words and complaints. Call it whatever you want. I call it being a hypocritical whiny little troll.
  16. No you weren’t. Your only gripe was with the subject matter at the time. Others were actually discussing it while you whined like a five year old because it’s supposedly not a random thought. Maybe you should try somewhere else on which to peddle your lies and non-stop whining about any subject matter that does not appeal to you. It would be a welcome change of pace for you “foo”.
  17. “I've never taken it so phoquing personal” This is from the same person who whined and complained, on this very thread, so much about the mere mention of the word “electric”, the he PERSONALLY demanded an entirely new thread about EVs. Then, in sheer irony of it all, goes to that thread and trolls and complains there as well. But hey, “I've never taken it so phoquing personal”
  18. Says the same person who shows up in the alternative propulsion threads, at every chance, with his largest spoon, just for stirring.
  19. And yet another article about Cadillac where the entire thread is about basically debunking SMKs endless trolling and lies. Ans this is why is I only visit sparingly anymore.
  20. (Looks at the delayed EQS lineup and thinks that you forgot to mention Benz in that statement)
  21. Not to mention how long has Benz been “showing off” the delayed EQS lineup? Funny how that gets sidestepped by the resident Daimler fan.
  22. “Reliable ICE vehicles” Hello? Ocnblu? Yeah, we have Fiat on line one. And F it! Just tell your work that you all want to go back to the office. That way, when half of your office and the office of your clients, gets COVID, you can come back on here and bitch about how unproductive folks there are and how it sucks to work short handed.
  23. I know right? If only they had offered a diesel model like Chevy did with the Cruze. Oh wait. No one wanted those either.
  24. Yeah, you wish you had that much culture. Given your disdain for anything that doesn’t conform to your narrow world view though, its more like... Of course, you had no logical counter for the fact that your initial post was pure hypocrisy and just general false patriotic whining but hey, that’s just par for the course. Same as it ever was.
  25. Your “liking” them does not change my statement. Again, it is a pick up truck, where function should trump whether or not it has a panoramic sunroof or an 50” screen on the center stack. Oh give it a rest homer. The great thing about this country is that people can buy whatever they want and adorn them with whatever stickers they want. Example, you used to own an “American” car that was made in Mexico by a company based in Italy. I’m assuming you had some Mexican and Italian flag stickers on that Compass, going by your “logic”.
