    You may want to make sure you compare apples to oranges next time before you deflect from the fact that Benz, along with all the other German makes, lied to everyone.
  2. surreal1272
    Gee, maybe the best or nothing just can’t do it. Vaporware waste.
  3. surreal1272
    I will never have a three cylinder anything and sure as hell not one with a supposed premium badge on it. Between that and the CVT, it just ruins an otherwise nice looking little CUV.
  4. surreal1272
    These engine choices and numbers are just weak sauce on what is supposed to be a premium level CUV. Congrats Buick, You gave it as much power as the average Kia Soul (which is actually offered with more power if one chooses).
  5. surreal1272
    Most of those clueless folks end up trading those in for a CUV with a real transmission, I’m willing to bet, when they realize that merging on the freeway or trying to pass someone is an exercise in futility. @Drew Dowdell-I’m thinking that it’s the opposite and that FWD models are the bigger sellers because they are far cheaper than their AWD models. Cheaper is the reason for the existence of the CVT anyway.
  6. surreal1272
    If only it hadn’t been ruined by the CVT in it. Just an absolute deal killer.
  7. surreal1272
    Never mind the overpriced nature of the Gladiator.

    You really need to seek help and take some context and comprehension classes. There is only one rabid Benz fanboy and sure as hell isn’t you. You think way too highly of yourself to think that I was talking about you when the obvious fanboy already posted and that’s what started this whole discussion. Good lord man. Pay attention next time.
  9. surreal1272
    The fact is that sales are clearly in a state of flux and, rabid fanboy logic aside, no one in those companies should feel very comfortable about their situations. Month to mont for a lot of them have been just a roller coaster ride of instability. Up 19% one month, down 12% the next. Who knows right now?

    And continuing to prove my point about his reign as a drama queen.
  12. surreal1272
    Cue pointless GIF response when he gets called out on his drama.
  13. surreal1272
    We all argue ccap. Pick a thread, any thread. *ccap takes things completely out of context and acts like a drama queen* meanwhile dfelt has not made one EV mention on this thread.
  14. surreal1272
    Tell it to ccap Drew. I said what I had to say.
  15. surreal1272
    Drama much? You cherry picked one blurb from dfelt and you think I’m arguing just to argue? Must suck to feel so victimized.
  16. surreal1272
    Actually it seems like it is all you by cherry picking dfelts one remake while ignoring the context of his entire statement. I stated the line of events brought on by SMKs “boomin” remark. If you don’t understand that, then maybe you need step back and read all of this again before accusing me of something I’m not doing. Good grief.
  17. surreal1272
    Never said you did. The original remark was made by SMK in regards to that 19% jump in an otherwise down year which was pointed out by multiple people. Again, context.
  18. surreal1272
    Context is your friend. One good month on top of six bad months does not mean business is “boomin”. Again, it looks more like an anomaly like FCAs past months of double digit sales growth.
  19. surreal1272
    Still down 4.0% for the year making this one month an anomaly in an otherwise $h! year for Benz. He sure as hell didn’t offer that kind of rosy observation when FCA had their double digit growth months but fanboys will always be fanboys. Hyundai was up 12% for the month while being up 3% for the year. If business is “boomin” at Benz, then it exploded at Hyundai.
  20. surreal1272
    So one good month out of a down year is “boomin’“? Boomin so much that they are slashing everything, cancelling vaporware projects (X Class) and lost money last quarter. You must have gotten a really sweet deal on those rose colored glasses if you’re able see that.
  21. surreal1272
    Yeah, I’m with the others here. It takes far more hand/foot to eye coordination to sling a manual around the track than literally any other transmission currently made. Paddle shifters are literally child’s play compared to manuals and I also have driven both while literally being raised on a manual.
  22. surreal1272
    Forget the fact that one is RWD while the other is FWD (whether it’s the Pilot or MDX). Just no.
  23. surreal1272
    Just repeating your wise words. You should be flattered. Oh and fix your CAPS LOCK key. It appears to be broken.
  24. surreal1272
    It doesn’t make much financial sense at all to offer a manual at all since there are only five or six people that can drive a stick these days lol. Once companies like Ferrari and Porsche were cutting them out, the writing was on the wall for cars like the Corvette.
  25. surreal1272
    Again, in case you missed it the first time, it is a Corvette, regardless of the aftermarket job on it, so it is not irrelevant to discussions about the Corvette. The same would apply to the Escape if it something brought up on a thread about the Escape. You’re just grasping at straws for some reason and making up your own criteria for what you find interesting (like your C8 example. It doesn’t make the mention of an EV C7 any less irrelevant. The point here is that this is a Vette article and it is not irrelevant to bring up other Vette models, aftermarket or otherwise. You do know what the definition of the word “Ironic” means right? You troll every EV thread ad nauseam. You are just trying to start $h! for no other reason than being mad at being called out for your ad nauseam BS.
