    I think the average income is very different too between the midwest and the west coast. So hard to see older auto's around here as I rarely find older than 10 years for American, Asian or European auto's. Too often you find just people updating every 3 years and older used auto's are sent elsewhere for Washington.

    Yawn, looks like all the others with the stupid Coupe design and the pictures show just how little headroom is in the back seat. PATHETIC! Dash, Talk about a dated look, this does not look 21st century but more 1990's. Not sure what the hell they are trying to do but not impressed.

    Really? Does FCA ever make quality a part of their money grab using old tech? #FakeNews who ever said FCA actually planned quality products.

    Tell Mother Nature to make up her mind. Otherwise someone might just go ballistic on her.

    Cubicle, can you see the Facebook link and follow the post to get more pictures and post them here so we can see it better? Work blocks Faceplant aka Facebook crap.

    Guess Dell does not want us out there either as the firewall must totally block all Facebook crap from web pages as I see what you mean in the story it talks about the facebook embedded link but I truly see no such link in the story at all. I did go check out the other story from some foreign language news site and grabed these images. Carscoops had this photo but it does not look like the one above that is real. Guess have to wait till I get home to look at the Facebook post unless someone else can grab them and post them here.

    Facebook the link is too motor1.com web site and it never took me to facebook to see the pictures. Weird if it is trying to do that for you. Interesting Social Media tag on the car though. #TimeToFocus Have to agree with you that I am also surprised by the small LT rated tires and the whole 11 versus 16 hp upgrade thing. So weird.

    2019 Ford Focus caught in the wild sorta. 34 pictures to enjoy of both the coupe 4 door sedan and the hatchback. https://www.motor1.com/news/232653/2019-ford-focus-spied-without-camo/ Remember, 3rd world countries do not worry about safety. So I am sure they ditched the seatbelts for the added payload capacity.

    I MISS BILL! It doesn't matter what party you belong to, this is good-natured political humor from a show on Canadian TV, where a comedian said he misses Bill Clinton.... "Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton!" He was the closest thing we ever got to having a real black man as President. He plays the saxophone. He smoked weed. He had his way with ugly white women. Even now? Look at him .... his wife works, and he doesn't! And, he gets a check from the government every month. Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup," in honor of one of the nations' distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water. Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada. When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one." The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know." Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to have sex in the Oval Office between the Bushes.

    You clearly have never raced or built auto's that could go triple digits. GM 4 spd tranny's can and do go 150mph. You just do not want to even consider let alone accept that Americans can and do build fast auto's that used lesser geared transmission than the Germans.

    @ocnblu Thought of you today and know you will enjoy these two links.

    Custom chip, tune for the SS and no problem hitting that speed. My GMC Suburban has a custom built 402, 505 HP 551 ft-lbs torque with custom chip, 425 posi diff and custom suspension and tranny and yes it has trashed more performance cars than many thought possible. Never say never when it comes to engineers and our toys especially when I grew up building racers as my dad had his own repair shop business. Some of us still know how to turn a wrench and build things better than the OEM.

    Seems weird that there would not be a rollback option. In today's age of overair or over internet pushed updates, rollback feature should be a defacto standard to allow people who have issues to go back to their last stable build. Seems Auto Nav systems are in the heydays of Windows ME which was a nightmare for anyone that remembers that bloody OS.

    Totally agree with this story on why Hydrogen makes Zero Sense! https://phys.org/news/2006-12-hydrogen-economy-doesnt.html Clearly the cost of making Hydrogen other than from 100% renewable power costs way more than all the other options out there.

    Many fun places on the highway system in Washington and yes while it is over the posted speed limit, it does not mean the auto cannot handle it.

    I think GM needs to use their Skateboard EV platform for an EV Escalade that optimizes interior space and refinement of the luxury category. I will be expecting this of the germans and Asian auto companies too.

    Cool Nissan Video

    I can totally see myself going 150 mph plus in this or many SUVs. Course already done it so no big deal.
  21. G. David Felt
    Yes and no, the GLS and X7 clearly compete on size and 3 rows with the Escalade and Navigator and today really outside of auto enthusiasts, who really cares if BOF or UniBody if it can both do the same thing. As some have pointed out over and over, the American products never really go off road any more than the MG or BMW products. I think the next luxury level will be when you get the EV versions of these SUV/CUV products.
  22. G. David Felt
    True, for the 450 that is a sharp monochromatic look with just a hint of chrome. I wish GM would offer in both the Escalade and Yukon a monochromatic look as well as a black chrome look. I know this is a custom job, but this Yukon all black chromed out is very sharp to me.
  23. G. David Felt
    I figured you would say that and yet the bottom GLS and the AMG is almost all Monochromatic and yet their luxury packages include all the chrome as I posted in the one picture from their web site above that shows chrome. Including link so others can quickly check it out. https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/class/class-GLS/bodystyle-SUV This one even includes a front chrome bumper in addition to the roof rails, around the windows, front grill and logo. Yes you can get Silver wheels, but they also offer chrome and of course the Aluminum rims with painted accents. Rear bumper even appears to have Chrome All pictures from their own web site. MB does have chrome on their SUV's. Just depends on the trim level. 550 seems to have much more than the 450 level.
  24. G. David Felt
    Size is almost identical, 2 inches different. From a comparison standpoint they seem to both hit the same check marks except one. Current GLS Chrome Points: Rims - Check Door Handles - Check Around the WIndows - Check Roof Rails - Check Front Grill - Check Current Escalade Chrome Points: Rims - Check Door Handles - Check Around the Windows - Check Roof Rails - Check Front Grill - Check Door bump strip - Brushed aluminum Only thing extra over the GLS.

    Nice, better looking than the standard G-Wagon.
