    Sad, this was again GM Fault for putting the Hybrid in a weird trim requirement with limited options. They purposely killed this by the stupid mgmt. choices on how it was available and lack of marketing.

    Very true on that and this just hit that tends to reinforce the recession I believe we are heading into: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/17/business/overnight-lending-rate-spike-ny-fed/index.html

    Horse with Blinders on I see, you clearly have been in your out dated old E-Class too long and not in a new Plastic C or A class auto as the CT4 interior is every bit as good and I am betting better than the C or A class interiors. With that said we BOTH have made ASSumptions here since the car is not on the lots yet. So your "interior hasn't been improved any," is totall BS at this point.

    Why not use the Supercharged V8 they have in it, that would make sense to me.

    99.9% of people DO NOT CARE about engine size other than you. A-Class even in AMG form has NO V6, so why are you bitching about something that your precious A-Class DOES NOT HAVE? Per their own web site, the A-Class AMG versions have high performance turbo 4 engines. https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/vehicles/passenger-cars/a-class/the-new-mercedes-amg-a-45-4matic-and-cla-45-4matic/ https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/vehicles/passenger-cars/a-class/a-class/ https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/class/a-class/sedan Clearly lets focus on the positives and potential negatives of the NON V CT4 car. Hopefully the CT4 will get both Coupe and 4 door standard and Hatch back versions. With this having a decent 4 Cylinder engine with performance of V and Blackwing versions should be good in a world going mostly CUV focused.

    Right my own opinion on that not being a troll, just pointing out MB has changed from what was viewed by most as a Luxury only automaker to what what it really is, a global automaker selling entry level FWD Blah appliances to ubber luxury level auto's as stupid crazy prices. IMHO. MB is no different than any other auto company out there with cheap ass version auto's to mid range to luxury to ubber luxury. End result, Mercedes-Benz is NOT a Ubber Luxury auto company any longer. After all those cheap ass plastic delivery vans are sold alongside an S-Class on the same lot. Done with this rant, back to the Non V CT4. Has potential, be interesting to see what all it does once it is on the lots for sale. Hope GM actually Markets them properly to drive sales.

    ? What were we debating again. I seemed to have been side tracked in my comments.

    Failure out of the gate if no enhanced powerful motor than the 6.2 L default V8. Plus they have got to fix that UGLY face on the Chevrolet truck. That is a deal breaker and has shown with being in 3rd place for truck sales on top of the pathetic interiors.

    Right, GM is using transparency to force the UAW to come to fair terms. Love the way this is being done by GM and hope all auto companies that have to deal with the corrupt greedy unions follow this road map. No need for hiding anything. Show the fair deal and let the union members tell their greedy lazy leadership to take it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gm-strikes-dont-pack-economic-punch-they-once-did/ar-AAHqEz4?li=BBnb7Kz I also agree that as @daves87rs stated, this is a good deal and they should jump on it as a Union strike is NOT going to have the impact on the US as they did in the 70's or 80's. Those days are over.

    @balthazar Thought you of all people would appreciate this!

    The AWD Concept one I could see young people buying and those living in the city. Rest of us would want the larger CUV/SUV that are coming.

    I use my Note 9 to access the site, post pictures, etc. so yes I would try the app and if stable enough, I might stick with it otherwise I will continue to use a browser on my phone.

    Still looks better than the Leaf and more on par with the Bolt.
  15. G. David Felt
    Nice write up, thanks for sharing. 2019 Ford Edge ST AWD feeling like your in your 2009 one!
  16. G. David Felt
    I think it is a wash between a kit car built and a rusty used mustang.

    True, but then you have to find one. One on the dealership lot north of Seattle with 199,000 plus miles and one a couple hundred miles away with 48,000 plus miles but that is it. If I go across the country, using autotrader, I only find 37 hybrids available for sale from $34,500 at 95,000 plus miles to $5,795 with 254,000 plus miles. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/Used+Cars/Hybrid/Cadillac/Escalade/Mountlake+Terrace+WA-98043?listingTypes=USED&searchRadius=0&zip=98043&startYear=1981&endYear=2020&marketExtension=true&makeCodeList=CAD&modelCodeList=ESCALA&fuelTypeGroup=HYB&sortBy=derivedpriceDESC&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0 There are a few below 50,000 miles, but I have to wonder if they are gremlins of electrical or accident rebuilds. Be interesting, but sadly they are all of the horrid second generation which had the seats that would not go flat against the floor so I could fit without having to recline the bloody seat which I hate. Have to wait for the EV Escalade of 2021.

    Good thing we all have a hard time relating humor, sarcasm, etc. in our writing. Pretty much no matter what, in today's global market, you cannot survive by being in only a single narrow focus area as to why Bentley is no longer single, MB has moved into the Toyota/Chevrolet market, pretty much every asian auto company now has entered the luxury segment. Anyone that thinks any one brand is the best or Luxury of the world is delusional in not acknowledging the multiple brackets of entry to ubber luxury to optimize profits.

    I thought it just got cut off coming out of the squeeze tube. I have to say from the front, looks like a bullet train. I actually like the frontal look, rear needs work, but AWD EV is pretty cool looking as a starting point. I actually think this looks better than the Leaf or Bolt.
  20. G. David Felt
    I would consider buying it for $12,500

    When gas was $5 a gallon during our Depression of 2007 to 2012 in Washington state, the state made it a requirement for any company with 500 or more employees had to provide mass transit bus passes. As such, I went from daily driving to only driving with the wife for errands, projects, working out. We went from 30,000 miles a year on two auto's to just about 15-16,000 miles a year. Since you all know I only have full size SUV's and a couple mid size, even with my SS only getting 12 miles per gallon, it would have to hit $15.00 a gallon for me to give up the SS or Escalade and even then I doubt it since everything is paid for and in perfect working order. At this point with so many EV options coming on the market over the next 18 to 24 months, I will be buying EV in the future. Excited as Rivian will have a look and see show on September 27th here in Seattle. Hoping to get a chance to actually try out the interior and see how I fit.

    QUESTION: ?‍♂️ How tall are you as I was in an audi a few years back but have not been in these specific models recently, so at 6'6" tall space is a premium and I will take comfort over sportiness. My normal test is to set the drivers seat for my comfort and get out and see if I can get in the seat behind me, cause then anyone would be pretty comfortable if they can. So how tall are you and can someone sit behind you? ?
  23. G. David Felt
    True and your right it is worse now, but ignoring that ugly mark, I do still like the over all station wagon vibe.

    2002 Ford Cougar rebuilt as a Replica 2012 Bugatti for $125,000 https://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/d/winter-springs-2012-bugatti-veyron/6967909699.html Still has the original Cougar V6

    Gotta love how fast the Europeans are adding Hot Hatchbacks AWD EVs.
