    Rhino is one of their standard colors but I have seen very few on the lots. One reason my son picked the color is the rarity of seeing it and that it really makes this GC Pop.

    Or reality, due to MB own emission issues, they were forced to make a radical change so early on a 2yr old engine to meet European emission laws. From a business sense, this makes no sense to kill off an engine that is only 2yrs old just because. There is more to this story than just because.

    Go for it, the GC right now is one of the best SUVs if not the best for the class. You can get such a great deal. My son loves his and got the rare Rhino color for his GC as it stands out and just looks great. You can see how sharp it looks as I added it to our family album of cars we own or have owned.

    OMG, this brings me back to the 80's and the one game I loved and could never play enough of Bubble Bobble. Loved the Game and the tune!

    The one I always loved, 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe in Maroon. Only 200 Built to meet Nascar rules for competition. Talk about a lovely rare bird, rarer than the Grand National GNX of which 547 were built.

    @daves87rs Agree YUM Found this on the Auction site, shocked at the high price it sold for $117,700 but then only 1200 miles, pristine and still on the Original Goodyear VR50 tires it came with from the factory. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1987-BUICK-GRAND-NATIONAL-GNX-COUPE-194306

    Considering it is Tesla, maybe the best answer would be February 28th 2022 at the earliest.

    Seems to be a working business plan that allows more profits to support future auto development.

    Superior Electric Superchargers are still better than electric turbos as they never have lag period. In regards to incorporating them all, it would seem MB seems to have not been able to figure out a sellable EV auto and as such to meet the European new emissions they are throwing everything into a pot to hope it actually makes the soup taste better not asking if too much is a bad thing. This also just sounds like slight of hand that MB is using marketing gimmick solutions to reinvent an old pig that is still the same solution just different lipstick. So flip flopping on Inline 6, drop it for V6, now drop it for Inline 6 and no real gains over their past engines. Nothing but a Shell Game of Marketing messages to imply it is better when it is not and they are late to the game from Voltage of the electric system to use of electrical engine components, to trying to say really old is better than old so we are now new with an old engine design and an old electrical system compared to the competition.

    Interesting about the True Cost of Oil for Gas as I was just looking into this myself and the IAGS, Institute for the Analysis of Global Security states that right now just for the Persian Gulf Military escorts of Oil around the gulf and out of it, the yearly cost is about $50 Billion. While we might pay anywhere from $3 to $5 dollars a gallon, our real cost if all the costs were passed onto ICE owners would be in the $20 to $30 dollar a gallon range. http://www.iags.org/costofoil.html This alone is an amazing quote from them: Our dependency on oil from countries that are either politically unstable or at odds with the U.S. subjects the American economy to occasional supply disruptions, price hikes, and loss of wealth, which, according to a study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy, have cost us more than $7 trillion present value dollars over the last 30 years. That is more than the cumulative cost of all of the wars fought by the U.S. since the Revolutionary War. The transfer of wealth to oil-producing countries - $1.16 trillion over the past thirty years - significantly increased our trade deficit. The Department of Energy estimates that each $1 billion of trade deficit costs America 27,000 jobs. Oil imports account for almost one-third of the total U.S. deficit and, hence, are a major contributor to unemployment.

    Musk just figured out how to give a short term end of year bump to the stock price and clearly sold companies on this.

    My son traded his 2012 Jeep Compass in for his GC and was so happy to get rid of the terrible 4 banger as he never got the stated gas mileage. He gets much better with the GC V6.

    One thing about all the Full Size SUV, Body on Frame is how easy they are to drive. My wife loves driving our Escalade and Suburban as to her they drive as easy as a mid size car and have tight turning radius. She loves how easy they are to park even though they are as big as the pickup trucks at 22ft long. They at least do not have the terrible turning radius of the trucks. That is what I love about my Escalade, the self leveling suspension makes it the ultimate road trip auto. My wife and I have done so many 18hr drives as you just eat up the miles with no discomfort in sitting. I will never understand the stupid engineer that puts parts in hard to service spots. To me it was an afterthought and cheap ass short cut to put it there, not to mention the heat probably did not help it's life.

    This totally Rocks I am so excited to see what gets revealed at the show. I really hope we see some EV concepts from everyone!

    Awesome, since the listing is no longer current on ebay, I have no Idea how much they are asking, but a lovely old classic car so CHEERS! How much where they asking?
  21. G. David Felt
    Ford GT style is the selling point. It is a look that is very desirable.
  22. G. David Felt
    Awesome and perfect point made and you're right I am biased being in a very tech centric world of Enterprise bleeding edge tech.

    What cha talkin about Willis? The 4 door only Sahara, the higher price or everything including FCA trying to survive off Jeep profits with crap everywhere else especially Fiat, Alfa, etc. all that Italian garbage.

    I thought the Range Rover offered those jump seats that fold up on both sides of the back area.

    I wish I could say you are right, but in talking to coworkers in the Hightech industry. More and more are questioning the Luxury side of BMW and MB due to the rampant excessive mid to low end models running all over. You really do find a ton of them all over the streets now. Seems the brands that are truly only high end luxury and performance have changed and some are questioning if the old guard is really true luxury or not. It is a very weird area we are in. Weirder yet is many say they would rather have the Luxury Tesla over MB or BMW as it is harder to get and even without the Tesla 3, more exclusive along with the performance part. A trend of different thinking is happening I think, at least on the west coast.
