  1. This is drop dead beautiful and Farrari has nothing to compete with this.
  2. Daffy Duck
  3. The auto is nice enough for what it is, I think and see it as a high end Chevy / Buick competitor and the same with the Ugly BMW 1 series. I think to some who could never afford these brands, they will jump at the chance to own a vehicle with the BMW or MB logo on it. But to the rest of the people who see these car companies as only ubber Luxury of the 100K plus crowd of earners, I think this will dilute the brand and actually hurt more than help them.
  4. New 2012 Patriot Latitude Black Trail Rated Edition. Very nice.
  5. This should be sold to the Duggars, with 19 and counting they could use a vehicle like this.
  6. Just think about all the Hip Hop Rap stars who will buy this and then do video's about their Mega B SUV and the Bitches they take for a ride! Enough to make you want to
  7. Unless it is a crazy museum, this is an interesting piece of history, but not worth the 30K. JEERS!
  8. I have to totally disagree with you and everyone else who says MB and BMW fit and finish is better than Cadillac. I can believe this on Lexus as I have idiot family members who buy and bitch about the fit and finish and lack of quality and then they go back and trade in for another newer one. Like freaking Lemmings. MB and BMW have some amazing high end models but in the C category or 3 category, I have yet to be impressed by either company compared to what Cadillac has to offer.
  9. WOW, So this is what a 3way private room party produces between those three. Who says the 60' make love not war is over! I actually do like it, now to find a sugar momma who could buy me one.
  10. Not sure, but a prototype was at the NY Auto Show last year...the crossover variation most likely will. With the 2015 EPA regs coming, I would expect BMW and M-B to bulk up their entry level lines in the US... True, I keep forgetting or ignoring not sure which about the stupid reg that will force everyone to beef up gas milage. Guess you can have the Econo Section of a BMW and MB lot, but I do think this will be allot harder to them to pull off compared to Chevy and Cadillac. Different niche...this is for the subcompact/compact premium niche...above Mini, where the Audi A3, BMW 1-series, Lexus CT currently are...and a likely future Cadillac subcompact will be. I understand what you are saying, but none of those would I ever consider due to how big I am and I have never liked the way a front wheel drives.
  11. Me thinking, are you talking about e-ride? http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2006/07/27/ecar/ http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=e-ride+of+minnisota&d=4591479443030724&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=f31a780,ff2b1be0 Appears their web site has been suspended.
  12. I have found that the average family that can afford MB tends to buy the C class for their kids.
  13. Interior and exterior are nice, this would get some peoples interest, but I have to wonder how a Chevy priced FWD Mercedes will affect their luxury standing. Will the American Public accept a chevy priced FWD vehicle like this along side a 100K MB luxo sedan? I truly do not see this selling well as your average Chevy buyer does not cross shop with MB. Did MB say it was truly coming to America?
  14. This one has me stumped even with the hints and using Bing,
  15. RoadRunner
  16. I have to say this is a very nice ride. Makes me wish that Cadillac had kept the XLR and taken it to the next level. Cars like this will never be high volume, but they are halo cars that you need to drive interestin the whole brand. Wish I had the funds for an XLR-V I loved that car.
  17. Both are very interesting auto's and I do think they can be very successful in todays market.
  18. I do not see how cutting the price to move and get them selling is going to hurt the stock price. Toyota took losses on their ugly Prius line for years. With the Profits theyhave right now, it is time to take the loss on everyone to get them sold and build up by word of mouth just how awesome these cars are.
  19. SWEET, This is one car I would pay that price for and drive it home. Great way to get a piece of history at a resonable price.
  20. Boy for $500, I would take it and strip it down the the Frame and start over. I can see this baby with a nice Black Powder coated frame, modern suspension and then put on a RamJet 502 with a 6 speed tranny, properly insulate the body as it would be finished in a Metallic Candy Apple Red with about 6 coats of clear to give it some depth. Decent clean on the simple side 20" rims riding at factory stock height. No beaner car, but a beautiful P60 with Modern engine, electronics and a paint job. Drive it around to all the High Schools to show the teens what a real car can look like and then burn it out and show them what real American V8 is all about. No, gotta go buy a lotto ticket so I can do a project.
  21. It was amazing what people paid for those rebadged Troopers just for the Acura Logo on them. What over priced SUV's.
  22. WOW, Love this car, to me I could see it sell for about 20K, so it is about 48K over priced. CHEERS on Quality of the Auto JEERS on Price.
  23. Letter to GM, You finally have world class quality products and the competition fighting to stay in the game. You are making your biggest profits ever. Take a page from Toyota, SELL THE VOLT FULLY LOADED FOR $25,0000 You will sell everyone you can make, people will be happy and before you know it, you will not only have recaptured your R&D cost, but you will be able to easily expand the product lineup for auto's based on the Volt. NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR DEALERSHIP GOUGING!!!
  24. GM, Needs to take a bigger loss on these cars just as Toyota did to get them out on the roads and get people using them and being seen on the highways. With 8 Billion in profit, they should see a few million loss on these as marketing to get the cars out and running. Sitting on the dealer lots due to the price being to high does not help GM. I also wonder just how many are base models, the units I saw at the two chevy dealerships were fully loaded and the sticker showed after gov rebate that the cost would still be 40K for this car. I think this is still about 10-15K to high for most people.
