    “Don’t just chime in for the sake of it” Like how you just did with your first trolling post? And you wouldn’t know progress if it slapped you upside the head with a solid state battery. Your comment was pure hyperbole and trolling nonsense as always.
  2. surreal1272
    What a lame ass counter statement but then again, that’s nothing new coming from a known anti-progress troll.

    Whatever you have to tell yourself Barnum.

    I have come across two CT5s and while I still can’t stand the cheap plastic over the back door window, the car does look much better overall in person. What in the actual F? Cheap bastards!

    So just do the opposite of what it takes to NOT lose more money as well as alienate your buyers with a bordering illegal bait and switch tactic? Mmmkay. Why would the “best or nothing” need to build its brand image?

    Just because others have done doesn’t mean it was okay for Daimler to do it.
  7. surreal1272
    Deflection. We are talking about the best or nothing that is so flush with cash. Companies that are so flush with cash don’t lay off people. Maybe the truth of the matter is that Daimler is hurting more than you want to admit.
  8. surreal1272
    They'll be fine? Well thats good. Now maybe you can tell that to the 10,000 folks they laid off because they are "fine". Companies who have that kind of cash should not have to lay off but we all know where most of that cash sits and sure as hell isn't in the hands of the average employee at Daimler. Can't disappoint those all important stock holders who contribute jack to Daimlers success.

    That’s what I thought. I get the Chrysler strategy behind this but abandoning the Caravan seems like a harbinger of things to come for Dodge. Absolutely no new product in the pipeline outside of just talk from FCA. That’s damn near criminal.
  10. surreal1272
    So, if I’m reading this right, the Voyager will be the same body style as the Pacifica? Why doesn’t FCA just come out and say “We really don’t give two farts about Dodge and it’s survival”?

    They are “flush with cash”, while standing in front of the toilet apparently. Now we know why they abounded their “worlds best luxury pick up” plan.

    What a lazy statement. Apple could buy all the German brands but would it mean anything? No and neither would Toyotas ability to hypothetically buy Ford. That’s just lazy talk when your previous arguments haven’t worked. Two things. The domestics will probably never get the mainstream market and the Japanese and Germans will never get the American full size truck market. You call Toyota lazy but at least they have the ability and the means to build their own truck without borrowing someone else’s truck just to watch it turn into yet more vapor ware.

    There is a video above that shows it stashing in the trunk behind the engine (like an old targa top 914). Way to compare apples to crap handling oranges. Your M5 to Hellcat comparison being even remotely similar to a Vette versus Ferrari/Porsche comparison is laughably off the base. The difference is that the Hellcat only has horsepower and not much else hence why it doesn’t merit a second look by the M5 crowd. However, a Vette that has always performed at the same level (and at times exceeded) as the Germans and Italian models will at least merit a serious look by that crowd because brand snobbery aside, great performance is great performance regardless of brand. Oh and Porsche quality is highly overrated. You also need to read up on some other C8 articles that talk about all the custom options coming to the Vette.
  14. surreal1272
    Huh?
  15. surreal1272
    Nice find. I should have known they’d shoehorn it back there seeing as how that’s how the old 914 Targas and some others have done. One thing that may be a bummer for the Vette crowd is that because it’s mid engine now, the storage space is much more limited. Throw a top in the “trunk” and it becomes even more apparent. I know there’s storage in the front but there is no way it has the same amount of volume as the current gen with its hatch.
  16. surreal1272
    Two things. First, you assume that those German and Italian buyers won’t look at the Vette because of its price while I’m willing to bet that more will look at and probably buy this one than you think if they get behind the wheel of it. Second, when the higher performance models come out (and they will), the first point becomes even more relevant. If I was GM, I would market this directly against that Euro Trash (especially the Italians) without ever advertising price or value. Advertise it strictly on it’s driving and performance merits while emphasizing the new look of it.
  17. surreal1272
    The top angle does look especially sharp but I have a question. Where does the top go?
  18. surreal1272
    I love how you continue to shift the insults around. From your first post about monochromatic interiors, which was wrong btw, to your historical posts about its six figure pricing (also wrong), to who you think buys a Vette, you just go out of your way to slam it. Guess that’s the reality of seeing a domestic sports car that is going to eat the Germans lunch for far less coin so you have to pretend that there are these imaginary flaws that make it less than what it is.
  19. surreal1272
    I have checked other sites and they show interiors with two tone interiors and several different colors. This shot may be closer to the base model interior which isn’t bad at all (again aside from those buttons).
  20. surreal1272
    I went brain dead there and only looked at the digital exterior pic and the one interior pic. Knowing this, I still like the look but those buttons are just a nightmarish disaster.
  21. surreal1272
    Given that these are unofficial leaks, I have my doubts about the “final look” of it.
  22. surreal1272
    Early images (meaning there will be other colors options for the interior) and it will still smoke 90% of the cars coming from Germany for less money. I do agree about the buttons. Somebody was drunk on the job when they designed that one. Aside from the stupid buttons along the side of the driver, it looks pretty damn sharp. @smk4565—I know everyone has an opinion about looks but the C7 looked far better than the previous two.
  23. surreal1272
    Then I repeat the “holy hell” remark regarding the river on buttons. Why GM? Why?
  24. surreal1272
    Yeah, I’m with you on the buttons! Holy hell! You have to memorize that layout by feel because trying to look down for a particular button would hazardous to ones health! To be honest, I have to question the legitimacy of this pic. Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t see them using that button layout down the side like that. Guess we’ll know soon.

    They made a 2019 sedan and it was $38,995. They just pulled it a few months ago but there was a 2019 model and it was priced higher than the 2018 model. That’s the point here. And my liking the CTS Coupe has not one single thing to do with fandom of GM or Cadillac. That’s just cop out logic on your part. If I never said anything about it yet stated that I hated the ATS, would I be a GM or Cadillac hater? No. It’s called having an opinion about ONE car, regardless who made it. You don’t like it? Fine. That’s your right. It’s also my right to have a differing opinion of it.
