    The Metris starts at around $25k..on of the cheapest 2 seaters on the market.

    Heh-heh..the huge American SUVs have their place and use cases, but they wouldn't make any sense for me. They also wouldn't fit in my garage. I like the size and styling of current GLE and does share the platform and lots of dirty bits with my Grand Cherokee-- but with more complex electronics and likely more expensive failures.

    I've read their insurance costs are obscene also..
  4. Robert Hall
    Yes..people in the tech world think differently than the normcore crowd. I'm pretty biased also...

    The G-class is a nice size, but a bit narrow IMO...of the current crop of M-B SUVs, I'd take the GLE..just the right size, IMO.

    Tech rich are different from mainstream/generic rich, though...tech rich tend to be very interested and knowledgable about high tech products and seek them out. Generic rich (athletes, doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc) go more for the established prestige brands and bling like M-Bs, Bentleys, etc...

    Isn't there already a mostly cosmetic AMG sub-brand, like how BMW has M-sport?

    About the same size, LX is about an 1/2 inch longer. 196.x vs 197.x. RR has a 2.x inch longer wheelbase.

    I can't imagine people are buying LXes as a family hauler...makes sense to go 2 row only; the Range Rover is, isn't it? Leave the 3rd row to the family haulers, otherwise it's a waste of space...

    The Highlander is a midsize CUV w/ 3 rows available.. Ford does it also on the Explorer. Different market niche than full size. I assume Cadillac will get in the game sooner or later with a 3 row XT5 (or an XT7?).
  11. Robert Hall
    Makes sense to me, Toyota uses the same 3 row formula with the Highlander, which is on the same platform and wheelbase. So I'm not surprised it's this way. They have the GX and LX for the full-size market.

    The 6-light greenhouse looks more Passat-like..is this next Jetta growing in size?
  13. Robert Hall
    Or the Hummer H1...looked ancient by the 2000s. Big price, but crudely put together.
  14. Robert Hall
    The current G class is so old, it's unintentionally retro.
  15. Robert Hall
    Maybe they will simulate the exposed screws & gaskets on the new one as a retro touch.

    2019 Lincoln Nautilus
    I am surprised they kept the MKC name...seems out of date now that they are moving away from TLAs. As with most automakers, Ford and Lincoln have a ladder of size categories of CUVs/SUVs. Ford Lincoln subcompact: Ecosport - compact: Escape MKC small midsize: Edge MKX/Nautilus lg midsize: Explorer - fullsize CUV: Flex MKT fullsize SUV: Expedition Navigator I assume the Flex and MKT are not long for this world, and Lincoln will get an Explorer-based CUV to replace the MKT.

    I assume the front will continue the Predator angry gundam look. I like the rear...

    2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    Ah... not sure if I like them that far forward. Cups would block the tiny buttons on the center stack behind them.

    2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
    I don't even see cup holders..disturbing...did they forget them, or they hidden and power operated? It's a nice interior, with that flat windshield and angle, big square side windows, it kind of reminds me of how a luxury Wrangler Unlimited interior could look..

    Just saw a really cheesy car ad on a local channel..it was a Kia dealer, the ad had a Star Wars theme (salespeople dressed as Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie) and was hawking new Kia Fortes for $59/month or two Fortes for $100/month.

    If the Stinger is successful, maybe they will do a higher power version down the road..Stinger Wasp or something like that... the Stinger sounds like a fun car, some spicy kimchi. Looking forward to seeing one in person.

    Are you also getting emails for threads you have read but not commented in or followed? I'm finding for every thread I read or react to (like, etc) I'm getting an email... I guess auto-follow for any action is the default since the upgrade. I'm looking at the notification settings to adjust mine... check here. But I don't see anything for what I'm seeing. https://www.cheersandgears.com/notifications/options/

    A sub 13 sec quarter mile and a sub 5 sec 0-60 time...hard to imagine those numbers and Kia in the same sentence..fascinating times we live in..

    Kind of a body style that was an anachronism by the mid 50s--was something seen on luxury cars of the pre-WWII era. Kind of the reverse of a laundaulet body style (convertible top over the rear seat only).
  25. Robert Hall
    That was called a Town Car bodystyle. Found it..this car has been restored, it is the 1956 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Town Car Motorama concept car. https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z11289/Cadillac-Eldorado-Brougham-Concept.aspx
