    That's what phones are for...I surf C&G on potty breaks at work and at lunch sometimes...

    Or busy... manuals are great for pleasure driving in the countryside, but in the real world with coffee cups, food, cell phones, etc automatics make more sense in the daily grind in cities and suburbia... I like manuals, had them in daily drivers for over 14 years and in secondary cars for 8 years after that..but today, there are so few available--besides sports cars and coupes, they are usually only available in stripped down econoboxes. The kinds of vehicles I like and would likely buy tend to be all automatics...I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes manuals but finds the selection pretty slim.

    Niches within niches...it's proven successful for MB so far, so no doubt Audi will have an A9 4dr coupe and BMW an 8 series 4dr coupe (an 8 and a 9 series are coming, I think I saw somewhere)? The big 3 seem to match each other in nearly lock step.. Maybe they can think outside the box and do something truly different, like a shooting brake version of the AMG GT or SL, or a 2dr fastback coupe version of one of their SUVs, or a 4dr coupe Sprinter (low roof van w/ fastback roofline). (Edit: speaking of the SUV 2dr coupe idea, I recall Audi had a concept maybe 15 years ago of a coupe SUV that was really sharp, can't recall the details, though).

    I'd be happy with another 6 cyl Laredo 4x4, but it certainly would be fun to see them build a Hellcat version...

    Saw not one, but two SSes tonight...a bright red one and the bright blue that I really like..about a mile apart.

    Always see some interesting cars in Scottsdale...saw not one, but two Chevy SSes--a bright red one and one in that bright blue I like. Also saw a clean '10-ish Camaro in that bright Mountain Dew green (was called Synergy Green IIRC)--haven't seen one of those at least 5 years. Saw a bright blue '16 Volt, first one of the new ones I've seen out and about...the silver upper and lower grille trim seems a bit overwrought. Also saw two Leafs (Leaves?)--one in silver with green leaf decals on the sides, and one white. The winner, though was the new '16 Prius in matte black w/ black wheels, and a custom front Euro-style plate that read '1BADAZZMF'... go figure...

    I don't see the utility in an explanation. A down vote reason is obvious usually.

    It is very amusing to see how some get so emotionally worked up over a simple downvote. It's not a declaration of war, not the murder of your loved ones, or something else serious...just a downvote on a post on an internet forum...people that get so upset over such a triviality probably need to seek help from a mental health professional if they are that fragile. I guess it's a byproduct of a world where every delicate flower gets a trophy, no winners or losers, and we have to watch out for the kiddo's 'feelings'.

    There is also the Fiat Fullback sold in some markets, based on the Mitsubishi compact truck...could be used for a Ram 50 revival

    I doubt if very many M-B owners keep them 10 years or care about depreciation after 10 years...lease them for 2-3 years, get a new one..
  12. Robert Hall
    Odd they have the X1 listed under passenger cars and the X3, etc under 'light trucks'....the sales of the i3 and i8 are way down, the novelty worn off quickly..
  13. Robert Hall
    Maybe they will do an AMG Sprinter and AMG Metris.

    I don't see why it can't work here, but apparently, it hasn't at some point in the past (I was absent quite a bit in '11-15). So I understand the current system and accept it as it is.

    take a deep breath and relax. You are reading waaaay too much into the concept of upvoting/downvoting. As I said, it works fine on other sites without noticable issues. Have a good evening.

    Car dealers and liquor retailers are open here on Sundays...the idea of them closing on Sundays is absurd and old timey nonsense.

    You really are reading too much into downvoting and extremely overreacting. There is downvoting on other auto sites (like Autoblog) they don't have this much drama about it. An upvote or downvote is just that. Nothing more complicated. I was joking about downvoting every post by certain people, but I've definitely wanted to do it..

    Never cared for the Enzo and the blah F60...the last top end Ferrari I liked was the F40...it has a lot of Big 80s charm. Modern Lamborghinis look like they were styled by hormonal 14 yr olds..too cheesy.

    Maybe call the replacement Compatriot..
  20. Robert Hall
    It is odd they 'unveiled' something based on the old 5th gen...a bit out of date since the 6th gen has been out a while.
  21. Robert Hall
    Some people take the downvoting too seriously..have melodramatic reactions to getting downvoted....upvoting and downvoting is a standard feature on many sites, needs no explanation why a post is upvoted or downvoted. We should be able to downvote more than one post a day, though. There are certain posters that should be consistently downvoted out of principle, for instance. I'm just remembering how things worked back in the old days before the influx of newbies..

    Today is deposit day...a buddy of mine went to a California dealer to put in his deposit, can't do it in AZ for some reason. He wants a Model 3 to replace his Volt.

    It's a clean design and wears the new Lincoln face well, IMO. I assume the production model will look similar but with real doors.

    The SS's relative--the Caprice--has had pretty low volume, I believe? I wonder if GM is planning a police package for the Impala, as Ford did w/ the Taurus.

    At easter brunch today saw a very clean early 80s Buick Electra Park Avenue 4dr in the lot, dark red w/ a white vinyl top.
