    Warranties like what Hyundai and Kia offer have zero bearing on whether the car is actually reliable. Example, GM offers a 5 year/60K powertrain warranty while Toyota offers a 6 year/60K warranty. Now, based on your logic, does that mean that the extra year on the Toyota makes it more unreliable than GM? The simple answer to that is “no”.

    Hyundai and Kia offer a 5 year 60K warranty. The 10/100K is just for the powertrain.

    Be cause autocorrect sucks ass (“lot hockey” iPhone). much like your past condescending comments about my choice of work (or second job in this case). Stick to the subject at hand. I asked someone, who was not you, about the engineers at GM and there was actually a pretty good reason for it. Your weak personal jibe does not change this fact. Offer something of substance for once in your life or F off. It’s just that simple. Seriously,

    Yes, unlike you, I have friends. Made a lot a of friends during my time as a “lot hockey” (as you pointed out a few months ago before your little “hiatus”). It’s a novel concept you should try out sometime. My question was a legitimate one since the GM fanboy is claiming that GM engineers are always on the ball. Also, maybe I should just display this next time before getting troll responses. Just the same old one brand fanboy nonsense.

    Are these the same GM engineers responsible for all those faulty ignitions (Barely a decade ago) or is that a different set of engineers? Asking for a friend.

    Two words for SUV coupes. “f@#king worthless”.

    Question. Can you fill up your gas tank at home?
  8. surreal1272
    To your second statement, isn’t that what convenience stores with gas pumps are selling? Convenience Stores are commerce too so I don’t see how this approach (said charging station) is any different from that approach (convenience stores with gas pumps).

    “Demand”. Whatever excuse floats that hollow boat.

    Thats a nice looking Hyundai that BMW released. Didn't know they were involved like that?
  11. surreal1272
    Reconsider your definition of the word "slowly" especially when one considers that they get some or most of that time back NOT visiting a gas station.
  12. surreal1272
    “Not a holder on”? Is that why they hung on to that V12 for so long (something you were singing praises over not too long ago)?

    Congrats to BMW on their upcoming German Kia Forte.

    Mercedes already covered the coupe van market more than a decade ago. Couldn’t even get the van doors right though.

    They really weren’t though if you start lining some of them up side by side. The last truly distinctive lineups died in the 60s IMO.
  16. surreal1272
    I get the term was coined with the introduction of the CLS but the four door coupe started in the 90's and it started in the U.S. Aside from that fact, the whole sedan market has been homogenized for about 50 years now, give or take.

    Not sure what the issue is here. Sounds like typical Porsche marketing to me, regardless of whether its an EV or ICE Porsche.
  18. surreal1272
    It’s actually closer to 20% of total RAV4 sales for the year and it also shows a 70% increase for the year over this time last year. They are selling all they can produce. I’m surprised you missed that little fact while disparaging it ?
  19. surreal1272
    And?
  20. surreal1272
    Lol but sales numbers tell the truth. Oh never mind. Just more of the same.
  21. surreal1272
    Good grief man. You must getting tired from all that bar moving. Now that you have acknowledged that they are the most expensive to maintain, you try to deflect towards Cadillac and act like maintenance cost don't matter (because it doesn't suit your argument anymore). The reason for them doing better than Cadillac has been well discussed. It's called badge snobbery, mostly, with the other part being not as many models as the other two. It's simple math. While we talking about sales though, try that logic on the Escalade which outsells both competitors from BMW and Benz. Fair point but it should be pointed out that the C Class is a tick slower on that quarter mile than the now defunct ATS (with the 2.0L, it clocks in at 14.0 per MT) while being almost $10K more. The point here is that for $10K more, it should do better than that. You are paying more for less and all with pleather seats lol.
  22. surreal1272
    I agree. In the Pick Up world, lack of powertrain choices is a deal killer for most folks.
  23. surreal1272
    Mercedes is the epitome of high maintenance costs. Part for those sold here come from overseas, increasing said costs right off the bat, plus the fact that being an import luxury car, well everything is expensive on it. This is not even debatable unless you're a fanboy who doesn't want to acknowledge simple facts. The fact is that Mercedes and BMW (which is the highest to maintain btw) are the most expensive cars to maintain. A simple Google search will help you see this fact. He wasn't talking about just the powertrain offering though. His statements, when taken in its entirety and not cherry picked, are accurate.
  24. surreal1272
    So you’ve been in and driven the CT4? Is that why you think the C Class is better? It’s not because you have already made up your mind because well, Mercedes?
  25. surreal1272
    And still looks better than any Mercedes pick up. Oh wait...
