    Thats a nice looking Hyundai that BMW released. Didn't know they were involved like that?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  6. surreal1272
    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.
  7. 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.

    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 ?
  10. surreal1272
    And?
  11. surreal1272
    Lol but sales numbers tell the truth. Oh never mind. Just more of the same.

    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.

    I agree. In the Pick Up world, lack of powertrain choices is a deal killer for most folks.
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. surreal1272
    And still looks better than any Mercedes pick up. Oh wait...
  17. surreal1272
    The entry model Kia Soul comes with a CVT now. Not sure about the rest of the Kia lineup.
  18. surreal1272
    Drove a 2016/17 Jeep Compass (old body style) with a CVT from NC to Arizona. I would not wish that POS on my worst enemy. Apparently makers and sellers of CVTs believe that people are never going to have to suddenly accelerate to pass slower moving vehicles.
  19. surreal1272
    Congrats on the car. They are nice rides, especially in AWD trims but I agree about the packaging and pricing. They make no sense, which has been par for the course with most GM models. I one year old models for around $27-29 with less than 20K miles on them so it sounds like you got a solid deal for yours.
  20. surreal1272
    When you search for a particular car that is hard to find for sale (in this case, a Cadillac CTS Wagon) and get this as your only match in said search.
  21. surreal1272
    Feel better now that you’ve gone on your tangent? My point was it doesn’t matter if you feel like you’ve seen one truck more than another. There are 330,000,000+ people in this country and you live in a county of just over 4 million. See the problem with your “logic” yet. You also have to be a diehard GM fan nut to believe that the RAM interior is somehow inferior to the GM twins. You also might be drunk. That’s the problem with the “opinions” of a few over the “opinions” of the many. Guess which category you fall under in regards to the RAM interior “opinion”? Oh and so what if they are selling the previous gen along side the new gen.? Guess it wasn’t a problem when GM did it. I could care less who outsells who but let’s keep it grounded in reality before you make up another excuse. Those kind of excuses are only reserved for Mercedes fans.
  22. surreal1272
    You must different Phoenix, Arizona (parallel universe maybe?) because I've lived here for years and have seen plenty of the new RAMs and they are worlds better than what GM is offering right now (can't even begin to compare the interiors of the two). I will say this. If it weren't for Jeep and RAM, FCA would already be dead in this country.
  23. surreal1272
    Cadillac up 6.5% for the quarter. You were saying?
  24. surreal1272
    That's because they can be recorded much faster on one hand lol. "Explain" it all you want. All you can reasonably determine is that folks want the GLE and not much else. Fact.
  25. surreal1272
    Thank you Captain Correcty. If you actually read the post above that, you would have seen that I listed the GLC under models with a positive gain.
