Nice Looking Luxury car for the 1% who can waste money. Over all striking and will get noticed but nothing special in my book that makes my heart race.

Ask Me Anything: 2015 Jeep Wrangler Willys Wrangler
Questions? Raises Hand How does this compare to the Rubicon? Where in the lineup does this jeep fit? Meaning if you have a base 2wd 4 banger stipped jeep and the top is the Rubicon, where does this fit? Above the Sahara below it......... What is the expected gas mileage? Interior, does it still have the rubber pull out plugs so you can hose the inside down and drain it? In my 94 Sahara it had these under the carpet but easy to get to pull them. Is it as stiff as past wanglers or softer on the ride? What is the new rear differential?

I'd like to introduce you to 'Oz'
Very cool to see such a nice improvement in MPG. That truck is lovely. I am surprised how much it looks full size though!

New York Auto Show: Lincoln Continental Concept: Comments
I wonder if the back seat will have an option for these executive chairs or a bench seat? I would think a bench seat would be more commonly sold but I can see the need for this configuration also.

New York Auto Show: Lincoln Continental Concept: Comments
Love the understated but clear luxury look of the outside. I am equally liking the design of the interior with one exception. I hope they have a CHROME DELETE option for the dash. This is a Reflection NIGHTMARE on a sunny day in the windshield when driving.

Favorite roads?
Here are some pictures from my drive last year. Pass is not open yet but will be soon. Winthrop is a great western town and people still drive their old Auto's. On the North Cascade Highway over looking Diablo Lake.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Releases Details on New V6 Engine Family
SMK you ALWAYS say MB is the best. Yet in using BING and GOOGLE I can only find the following information: From 1954 to 1955 2 formula F1 wins of their own cars, engines, etc. till they withdrew after the 1955 crash at Lemans. Returned as an engine supplier in 1994 only. So according to Wikipedia, they have 100 wins as an engine supplier, two as constructor and four as drivers of Mercedes Benze sponsored Auto's. So with this if accurate I can see where you would say they have great engines, but the best? I have a hard time saying that. Where is MB wins for Nascar? Where is MB wins for NHRA drag racing? Where is MB wins for Kart racing? Where is MB wins for Truck Racing? Where is MB wins for Monster Trucks? Where is MB wins for Stock car? Yes both companies have been building auto's for a long time, both have been in and out of auto racing. both have had some quality success and quality disgrace issues. Yet I see more GM racing than MB racing and GM seems to be building more auto's and sales. thought I realize that based on your logic than VW should be superior to MB since they are the worlds largest auto company followed by Toyota, GM and MB flipping places quarter to quarter. If MB is better in every way all the time than GM specifically Cadillac, then why is it so hard to find MB in the larger racing circuits that is followed by more people and why do they not seem to be well known for racing? People consider MB a Luxury auto maker here in the US and their entry in the eco space on up and the commercial space is going to change peoples perception of MB.

Top Gear was fun in the early years but have not watched it the last 3+ years as it was just not that entertaining any longer. If the courts overturn what has been pretty standard in Bankruptcy and allows the new GM to have lawsuits filed against it over the ignition switch issue, then GM needs to go back to all the Executives and recover all the money they paid out to every executive down to mgmt that had a hand in this and take all bonuses and salary. They failed and do not deserve to keep their money if GM has to deal with this since it was on their watch that these idiots including the bean counters made these decisions. Excited for the NY Auto show.

Favorite roads?
My Favorite road and has been voted one of the top 10 drives in North America is the Cascade Loop. From Ocean to mountains on the North Cascade Highway and back over Highway 2. You get to go through a still very much western town with wooden sidewalks called Winthrop and enjoy the wineries of Lake Chelan and then back through Leavenworth and over Stevens pass back to the ocean in Everett. http://www.cascadeloop.com/

The ultimate tour van
Looks presentably priced to do the new auto wraps. You could have a wrap made of your band and have it put on and boom. Instant Marketing everywhere you go.

March Car Spotters Thread.
Saw a Plymouth Scamp GT today driven by a baby boomer. Still in really good shape. Was surprised. The wife asked me what that was as she had never seen one before. I told her it was a flash back to the early 80's.

Mercedez Benz News Rumorpile: What's In Store For The Next-Generation Mercedes E-Class
You are so WRONG! They have been sharing parts and buying together since it hit the news in 2008! http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1023247_mercedes-and-bmw-already-making-joint-purchases-parts-sharing-next You can BING it or GOOGLE it and find plenty of parts sharing between these two companies due to cost reduction efforts that make sense. Even their V12 engines are using core common parts such as the block.
