    For the year DOWN -4% One month does not make the year. Lincoln is UP 1.3% for the Year Cadillac DOWN .3% for the Year Porsche UP 5.3% for the Year BMW DOWN 1.7% for the Year I could go on, but MB is doing worse than many others. They did great years before, but clearly they need some major changes and style updates.

    Should be interesting to see the style and I wonder since they have also said they would be doing ice/hybrid/ev, what the powertrain lineup will be.

    Really, you need to wash those Rose colored glasses. Excluding the few high percentage auto's, the bulk of their product line is dead or heavy down especially year to date. If this was your favorite hate company GM, you would be ripping them apart about the negative models. Plus lets look at the whole company, it is only really up 19.5% for the month as vans and smart are dragging MB down.

    Always liked Jag's style, glad to see they are selling well and hopefully quality will continue to go up and get stronger.

    With only 35K sold so far on track to sell 70K this year, it does make one wonder how a dealership stays open with so few sales. Gotta be expensive service.

    @A Horse With No Name and any other person who loves wood work. Build a home with zero nails or screws. 100% wood home built like Lego bricks. https://www.brikawood-ecologie.fr/home/ I believe this is called dove tail wood connections. Please correct as I am not 100% sure on the connection type.

    Pretty soon we will be back to the Ford Mantra, you can have the auto in any color as long as it is black. Want another color, fine, these approved 3rd party vendors will sell you any color you want for a special charge! ?

    I hear ya all, paddle shifters and automatics are no more challenging to each other and manual is still even more challenging than that, got it.

    Having driven in Japan, it is really not that hard to drive a left or right-hand auto.

    I get what you all say and yes 2 feet, 3 pedals will always challenge humans. Yet there is more to driving than just that and paddle driving brings in a different way of driving is all I am saying and still shifting up and down while driving will always offer challenges along with so many other inputs.
  17. G. David Felt
    Agree to disagree, you should try racing someone and see how you drive it and hit redline shifting up and down. Driving takes skill period and to drive a manual or paddle shifting to optimize power, torque and turn in a consistent time, does take skill.

    We have no idea of what cars they will have in the EV role out. Very possible for the Malibu to come out as an EV.
  19. G. David Felt
    Based on the GM released info, you can get this in the LT as a $3,890 upgrade. So basic LT is $28,300 according to their web site. 28,300 + $3,890 = $32,190 plus delivery and applicable taxes. Not too shabby for a 33 mpg diesel truck.

    Agree, BMW wanted to be more Benze than Benze. Now they are all messed up both MB, BMW and Audi.

    Will PA take back over the road then after the company bankrupts?

    @Robert Hall @surreal1272 I honestly would NOT say it is cheaper to do a Manual transmission any longer, but that form of transmission is so inefficient and the lack of interest by the bulk of society to drive a manual with the advent of paddle shifters thanks to F1 driving has moved society to want something that is even faster. I rarely have seen manuals at the drag strip here in washington any more, usually more of an older sports car on open day when folks can drag their auto against anyone. There is also real talent needed if you were to drive a paddle shift corvette just like a manual. I think many who feel you have to have a manual transmission just have not had a chance to really learn to drive paddle shift auto's. I relate this to those that felt putting a manual on the floor was a terrible idea compared to the 3 on the tree design that I first learned to drive on. The more technology changes, the better things get, clinging to the past is how one dies early in the business world. I honestly doubt other than a few I can count on one hand that the bulk of folks here at C&G would want to drive a modern day auto with 3 on the tree or a 4 speed manual especially if you live in a city of hills like San Francisco.

    Never did understand the business case for a privatized road. It goes against what America is about, the culture and the freedom to drive anywhere.

    @Robert Hall @surreal1272 After having searched for and posted the follow up info especially GM's own post about this design from the begining was built with ICE, Hybrid and EV in mind plus with no engine in the front, it left far more room for folks over 6' tall to easily get into and out of, I have to say I am EXCITED ? to actually go and sit in one and maybe even take it for a test drive. If all 6'6" 300 lbs of me can fit, who knows I might just have my first sports car ever. In response to all the aches and pains we have in our body, as a past life body builder and power lifter, my C1 to C6 are bone on bone and I was given two options, fuse and limit my quality of life, or workout and stay strong for life as to why I am a daily work out man in the GYM. I can still ski and pretty much do everything I want as long as I keep my CORE strong. I can tell when I take more than a day off from lifting so for me lifting / cardio is 5 to 6 days a week with a single down day for recovery. I do not plan to ever retire in the baby boomer sense of retirement, but am sure I will have a different type of job by the time I am 70. Hope I can have a sporty ride in those silver years, that would be very cool. I have to say that my favorite corvette was the Stingray from Corvette Summer, the movie 1978. But now I am really liking this C8, grows on me more and more every day. I can understand why it would sell out especially if they end up going hybrid / EV, then these first few ICE models will be real collectors editions.

    I wonder if they will do a Hybrid or ICE version.
