  1. Took a drive along the Lake Erie coast yesterday afternoon, beautiful day...saw a white late model Jeep Wrangler in my rear view mirror with a modified grille that spelled out 'OHIO' (which read OIHO in the mirror). Also saw a clean red '75 Cutlass coupe on a small town used car lot. Heading to a beach today, may see more interesting cars.
  2. Audi buyers don't want a Mercedes clone.
  3. Drag racing a Tesla seems as pointless as drag racing a Bentley. Probably violates the warranty. And by 'many' it's maybe 1% of customers?
  4. Subtle redesign..like the full width taillights and dash treatment..sharp car.
  5. Not Nissan, but how about that bizarre story about Kobe Steel falsifying product strength and durability specs... http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/16/news/companies/kobe-steel-scandal-what-we-know/index.html
  6. Doesn't matter, Tesla buyers aren't drag racing, and muscle car and exotic car buyers aren't cross shopping Tesla...just pointless comparisons.
  7. Soon to be gone; Arteon replaces it for 2018. I don't think the US is getting the Arteon. Both are on the VW UK site. Sometimes brands are slow to update their website, Dodge still has the Viper and Dart on their site.
  8. The CC is gone, replaced by the Arteon. The Jetta is a compact, the Passat is the midsize, and the Arteon is above the Passat....
  9. Your are confusing 'good performance' with 'high performance'...a semantic disconnect. Engines can perform to spec and be class-competitive (perform well within their product class) without being considered high performance.
  10. I like the dash...steering wheel controls look familiar.
  11. No one did...it's a midsize 3 row family hauler like the Explorer, etc..
  12. People complaining about an employer providing EV charging stations in an office lot is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. I've worked at places that had employee incentives for car/van pooling, using public transportation, and having EV charging stations. I didn't take advantage of any of that because I commuted by SUV. Wasn't a big deal to me.
  13. Front is pretty ugly, maybe less so than the RX. Strong similarity to the GC in greenhouse, rear and rear quarter that I've noticed.
  14. A guy across the street a couple houses down from me has a gray S2000...I've seen it out a few times over the summer on weekends, but he mostly drives a late model F150. There is a bright yellow one a couple streets over parked outside that's been sitting there since I moved in, doesn't look like it's driven much.
  15. The CLS is my favorite recent Merc..love the profile view of both generations..and esp. in brown.
  16. Hyundai aspires to be like Honda/Acura, I guess...so if the Tucson goes this high, where does the Santa Fe top out...Edit--I did a B&P and got an SF Limited to $43,950... wowza..
  17. $35k would get a loaded Cherokee w/ a V6 probably, or a 2wd GC Laredo.
  18. I saw plenty of Leafs (Leaves?) and Teslas in the Phoenix area...people out driving them on 115+ degree days, and they weren't creeping along at 10 mph either...
  19. Since I've been here, I've taken a few short trips east and west along Lake Erie. The coastal roads through little towns are pretty scenic.
  20. I do road trips once in a while, but in reality---if I have a 4 day weekend to go somewhere, I'm not going to waste 8 or more hours on a boring interstate...
  21. Si... usually if it's over about 4hrs I fly unless the road trip is a scheduled part of a vacation/etc. If its a 3 day weekend, I'd rather fly than waste hours on the road.
  22. Neat app. I see the Hyatt about a mile from me has a charger, as does a Dunkin' Donuts a couple miles away. (Not that I need one, but I'll admit to being EV-curious)
  23. Alfa's sales are so low the 2.9 doesn't matter.
  24. That would be interesting if FCA or GM offered something like this with mainstream models for $500 a month, maybe one vehicle change per month.
  25. And just imagine the smell of McDonald's seasonal pumpkin spice pie and the delicious new buttermilk crispy chicken tenders in there...
