  1. I am very Happy for Fall and the rain. Cleaning out the ash / smoke from all of Canada's and eastern Washington fires is a nice breath of fresh air!
  2. This morning at the Lynnwood Park n Ride, got to see a brand new 2019 Chevy next to a 2019 Ram. The owners were exchanging info and while each complimented each others truck, they of course loved their truck they bought. With that said, I am now solidly in the RAM is way better looking than Chevrolet this year. The cardboard bailing front end of the Chevrolet is even more of a mess in person than in the pictures. PASS on Chevrolet, Ram for the Win!
  3. Ya have to remember to give @ccap41 his senior discount!
  4. The amount of money being invested into autonomous driving really leads me to think we will have some revolutionary changes in personal transportation in the near future. The next 10 years should be exciting.
  5. Simple marketing and expectation. Nothing wrong with performance focused on every level, you have a natural auto company then. But AMG has been marketed and sold as the ultimate performance auto of a class of auto. If you start putting AMG on every model in that class, you have diluted it and taken away the specialness of the premium you sell AMG for. Having as has been done an A35 and A45 AMG auto, you are saying these are better than the one's below, but not the best and you have diluted the AMG logo. A35 should just be a performance sport model not an AMG model. You already have just packaging versions of AMG as you also do with BMW M line. This also dilutes the specialness of a true performance focused AMG or M line.
  6. NO MAN is the best, always someone who can beat another and right now his ARROGANCE is showing in this multiple levels of performance in a auto class. Performance should be only a single top level and the rest below it are various levels of the standard auto. This has been proven over and over again in diluting and killing a brand specialness. AMG might as well just go out and be their own stand alone brand then if they want every level of an auto class to have AMG on it.
  7. WOW, Sucking it for all it's worth old man!
  8. Personally I think a performance model at each class size is needed by all OEMs. Yet having two in the same class as they have here A35 and A45 is a bit overkill and I do have to think that they are diluting it. A35 should be a Sport model, not the AMG. That is the top of the line power monster.
  9. Guess the best or nothing is proving itself as nothing for buyers with 3 months of continued sales loss, lack luster Van sales and the MB dealerships having vans front and center on their lots rather than cars / cuvs. It really is an amazing tell when you go by a LUXURY dealership and see cargo vans as the predominant auto on the lot. One has to go Hmmmmmm! ?
  10. So preloading your hype of MB Sales only makes it 48K versus 166K still nothing to crow about nor is vaporware talk about local production. Wait n See!
  11. WOW, You found what Mercedes-Benz used to copy their CUVs.
  12. OK, the dash is growing on me, but still a dated looking car. Guess the BMW fans will be happy. So this car is now bigger than the E39 BMW 5 series and almost the same as the E60 2009 5 series. So BMW is moving all their cars up in size and class? ?
  13. Again another brand that I wonder how the dealerships keep the lights on based on the sales.
  14. One does wonder how a dealership selling only this product line could keep the doors open with so little monthly sales.
  15. Just be glad they are not adding them as down 35% would cost a CEO his job!
  16. I truly think we have hit a peak and a cooling period is beginning for the North American Market. I also think many buyers are holding off till the OEMs have their EVs on the lots to kick the tires and consider if they want to go that way or not.
  17. Yesterday on the Freeway, old Porsche zooming buy! Liked these 1980's versions.
  18. Been an interesting start to October. Chevy Luv, Isuzu built with manual trans. Subaru with BF Goodrich AllTerrain tires. Interesting, never seen this tire on a car before.
  19. Do not forget the Colostomy bag!
  20. I am really liking this more and more reporting only Quarterly. I think all Auto Companies should do this, way better gauge of business success than just month to month.
  21. Sales numbers might be down, but amazed at how much Metal is still moving especially for the dead brand of Scion or is that all considered Yaris sales now? @William Maley
  22. WOW, The Caravan sales numbers are just crazy, 344% increase. ? Fiat is dead duck dying again as history has proven. The amount sitting around on lots unsold is just pathetic. Alfa, what a waste of money! Amazing how many dinosaur Journey's are still selling.
  23. The navigator is saving the sad Lincoln division. Surprised by such a large drop in Truck sales and SUV sales for Ford, but then an almost 12% drop is not good either. Very strong Fusion sales still, 15,000 plus a month and they are killing this car off. ?‍♂️ WTF
  24. Makes sense considering Dieselgate and the mess that has cost the German brands. Build it better and to code and you win.
  25. Nope just remove all the trash like the world did with Hitler. Time will tell and the time will come when we are back on the proper path of real leadership! HOORAW To my Brothers and Sisters that have defended our Multicultural diverse country! Diverse Strong!
