    GLC eh? No CX-9

    So I'm a little confused. Is the money restriction only on base price or on as configured price?
  10. Drew Dowdell
    With that criteria.. it's basically only the Encore. Which is fine, I'm 53k miles into mine and not a lick of trouble.
  11. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, if you know you're going to be loading stuff up at Home Depot, you need to remember to park ass out... but it is a small price to pay for the overall convenience.

    I prefer @Drew Dowdell and @William Maley myself... If I have to pick outside of C&G, then I'd go with Aaron Bragman at Cars.com and Zac Estrada who is an independent for multple publications (He did the Continental article we were arguing about)

    Honestly, I have a hard time quantifying it. Keep in mind use my Honda for doing maintence work at my apartment buildings, so I'm always hauling tool boxes, supplies, etc. in it. It's just easier to do in the Honda than any of the liftbacks. It's not something I can really explain... it's just something I live with.
  14. Drew Dowdell
    You know what would sell me? This right here... You have no idea how much superior a side opening tailgate is compared to a lift back until you own both. The side opening hatch on my old CR-V is sooooo much better than the Encore liftback for loading and unloading stuff.
  15. Drew Dowdell
    I doubt it would come to that. If what this article states is true, it is just the catalytic converters and other emissions equipment wearing out too quickly. Off the top of my head and don't quote me on this, the manufacturers all have to warranty the emissions systems for something like 100,000 miles.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    This sounds more like a design flaw than an intentional thing.... The key is going to be if they knew the emissions system stopped working before the mandated warranty period. It kinda sounds like FCA may be just on the hook for new cats.
  17. Drew Dowdell
    Sounds like a nice ride...especially at that price.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    That is one of the few cars that really can't/shouldn't try to get away with a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder. It is excessively heavy for its size and in 4-cylinder guise, the transmission hunts for torque it will never find. 2.0T should be the bare minimum for that car.

    I nicely equipped 200 V6 is a nice place to pass the miles...
  20. Drew Dowdell
    oshawa has the room
  21. Drew Dowdell
    So it's just an appearance package? Doesn't the Passat already have 280hp in V6 form?
  22. Drew Dowdell
    I think it has less to do with party and more to do with position and ambition. If you're from Kentucky, for example, there is no shame being a Congressman who drives a Camry because they are built there. Same thing for Passats and Tennessee, M-Classes and Alabama, and X5s and North Carolina. However, once you set your sights on the White House or congressional leadership, then you probably would be best off switching to an American brand even if it isn't built in the US (Chrysler 300c and Cadillac XTS and Chevy Tahoe being not US built).
  23. Drew Dowdell
    Yes. To be honest, I just took the same level of posts from another website that does the same thing. I have no problem with you being in there, but it's pretty much impossible to do a single person override.

    I recall that as a senator, President Obama drove a Chrysler 300c and then an Escape Hybrid. McCain likes his DTSes (kinda no surprise there). Romney was all about the Cadillacs and Suburbans. Bill Clinton had a vintage Mustang (or borrowed one because he loved it so much, can't remember). I doubt Hillary has driven herself anywhere in years.
