  1. Remember, the cost means nothing to US M-B buyers beyond the monthly lease rate... and in Europe,they are diesels, so premium vs regular means nothing in their core market.
  2. The A-Class sedan that is coming will accommodate those that want less legroom and more of formal sedan than the CLA.
  3. They will probably bring the name back on a high performance CUV...(a version of the upcoming Q8, maybe?)
  4. They are unrelated, the C class is RWD. CLA is on the FWD A class platform, as is the GLA.
  5. CLA is just the 4dr 'coupe' version of the current 3rd generation A-Class. The A-Class is a FWD 5dr hatchback, their entry level 'family hatchback'.
  6. $28k or $33k seems like a lot for a generic FWD 4cyl econobox.
  7. I miss the simplicity of the older truck front ends... I like these---simple, clean, no cheese. 1967, 1983, 1988
  8. Of the current generation of Silverado, I like the '14-15 nose better than the front after the MCE..it got too busy, IMO.. This I like...
  9. Saw a new red Colorado ZR2 in a restaurant lot last night...sharp looking truck.
  10. They already have 4-5 CUVs and SUVs, I'm sure another bunch are coming...
  11. Kind of, but also looks like countless other CUVs out there now..bit of Mazda, bit of Infiniti, bit of Nissan in the curves...
  12. I'm only 47...I enjoyed the '00 DTS...I think I'd enjoy the XTS, like the look after the restyle.
  13. Didn't realize the Cruze was available with a manual. I rarely ever see a 2nd gen Cruze, sales must be way down...
  14. To come into an established product marketplace and try and challenge the status quo---to be 'disrupters' (as is said of tech startups), requires passionate, often arrogant, often flawed leaders. That's the nature of the business.
  15. That Navigator front was pretty ghastly.. there is one Lincoln CUV/SUV front I liked from around 2010, but can't recall which model it was. Edit: 2009ish MKX...I like that front end.
  16. Black trim screams cheap to me.. like something on a basic work truck trim. Body color trim is too much of an '80s-90s cliche to me, back when monochrome trim was a trendy look. For me, chrome (in limited amounts) is classic and tasteful. I prefer polished aluminum look wheels over chrome wheels. And I find the appearance of carbon fibre the ultimate in hideousness...
  17. The QX56/QX80 is an odd looking beastie.. my next door neighbor in Phoenix from '11-15 had a maroon QX56, then briefly an Escalade, then a black QX80 the last two years..
  18. My Jeep has the chrome door handles and mirror covers, I like the contrast with the black metallic paint. I like when there are lots of choices available in vehicles, some models have trim levels where everything is body color or blacked out for those who like that look.
  19. Yes, that's the standard config. The Yukon Denali is similar, maybe a bit less chrome. I think they aren't bad in stock form--like the stock chrome w/ dark brown or dark red paint, for example... but so many get tastelessly tricked out with oversized ugly aftermarket wheels, additional chrome added, etc.
  20. We even had our own electric car here in Cleveland back in the day, the Baker. It had cab forward/tall cab design, was of course available in the trendy black color, with blackwall tires and flashy gold panel pin striping..
  21. With a name like Thor, would have thought they would have had Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) as the logo..;) Maybe the Thor truck can make an appearance as Thor's ride in an upcoming Marvel movie...
  22. I wonder if it will be available in brown like the X1.
  23. I'd take the SS, easily. Though the E39 is considered the best M5 by many, I wouldn't want to deal with an old German car..
  24. To match the GLA. It will sell.. crossovers are hot, everyone is adding more.
  25. They get the privilege of paying more for less reliability and more electronics issues.
