  1. Awesome Read, Thanks for seeing and posting it @balthazar
  2. I agree, I love CUE and while it was slow to respond in the early days, it is now very responsive and awesome. Course always plenty of room to improve!
  3. Have to say it is a nice CUV. I actually like the simplistic design of the dash. Clean and functional compared to some that tried to do this. I wonder about the R design label I see and there are other things I wonder about. Be interesting to read about the details come Sept 21st. I see NO VALUE in a Turbo 3 cylinder Engine.
  4. @ccap41 Totally agree with you that the Continental is far superior than the MKS even with the interior sizing issue I ran into. For most people in the Average 5'8" size department and even is they are fuller full figures the continental will be a comfortable ride.
  5. Over all like the looks of the Car, I see the connection to BMW but also in the headlights the connection to Mercedes. Hate the dash and that stand up nav screen. Honestly they failed on bringing out a decent modern luxury dash to go with those seats.
  6. have to say the Mocha Brown interiors are warm, inviting and lovely to me.
  7. Those seats are also something I have noticed on ALL OEM's from Germany to the US and especially Asian rim. Flat, not very comfortable and very disappointing for the amount of features they state. My pet peeve with the current Escalade is I get one as a loaner every time I take mine in for service and where Mine is a very comfortable road trip SUV, the newest ones are not. I love the look, driving characteristics and room in the current Escalade, but the seats are short distance driving comfort only. Very sad!
  8. Why I dumped FIOS TV and have only FIOS 100MB Internet at my house. Far Cheaper to pay for Hulu and NetFlix and with my VUDU for movies, I went from $300 a month for HD everything to $99 a month and that includes the cost of the commercial free Hulu and Commercial Free NetFlix. I also purchased and put up the following HD antenna: http://www.antennadeals.com/HD8008.html Got me 70 local HD stations so I do not have to pay for local news and broadcasts anymore. Covers me when I want news and when the son visits and wants to watch Football.
  9. Agree, while there are plenty of Nissan dealerships, I rarely see an old frontier let alone a new one. See plenty of CUV / SUVs.
  10. I say this is more a matter of who bought the race series and as such there will never be anyone else who will win the Mercedes F1 series but MB. So why would you want to spend millions in a race owned by one company that will always win no matter what others do.
  11. Some posts just go over my head, clearly some inside knowledge that I am fine not knowing.
  12. Have to agree that there is not much on TV worth watching anymore. Those into reality TV need to get a life of their own, off the couch and get that body moving. Movies are the only thing worth watching.
  13. @oldshurst442 I think somewhere in time Greek and Germans have gone back and forth over who has the biggest Sausage. War is a bitch! Signed your friendly PNW German!
  14. AWESOME Tesla get ready to have your Cake Eat'in by the competition. Very Cool and this looks better than a Model S.
  15. Howdy CCAP41, Actually I love the looks of the car, I was very excited as I grew up with Continentals from the late 70's and 80's so seeing a new one had me all set for potentially owning one myself. I have brought this up before that where each manufacture measures to state their hip room, leg room, head room seems to be a non standard that I find very frustrating. I have a 40 inch inseam, that means I am more legs than body. As such once I get a front seat set for me and then get out to test the back seat that rear leg room is no where what they state and this is one of my pet peeves. I swear many auto makers measure the front leg room with the seat all the way back then move that seat all the way forward and measure the back seat, like EPA testing that Shows big differences between real world driving and EPA testing for MPG, I find leg room to be a AUTO INDUSTRY BIG LIE! Love the look and design of the Continental, but the inside is a disappointment to me as it is NOT for a family of big people. I am 6'6" tall, my oldest sister is 6' tall and we cover the shortest to tallest in our family, so when it comes to testing a car, SUV, Truck, I have to make sure I can always sit behind myself and then I know anyone can sit comfy in the car. No Hate to Hate, Only Auto love but with the real facts that some car's are not made with the true leg, hip, body, head room they state. This is very true, people in Tree Hugging Green PNW have always gotten on my about driving full size lifted SUV's and I say so what. I do NOT care about MPG as much as safety and room. After having a suburban rear end my Oldsmobile rental Delta 98 that was totaled and only bent bumper on the Suburban, I would rather wrap my family and friends in steel and protect them over MPG. Yes I acknowledge that I can afford to buy the gas for poor MPG auto's, but I agree with you that the CHOICE of Auto I pick meets my needs and desires. Valid Point here.
  16. Yup as I said in my posting of this story a while back, I will take a NA 3 L V6 over a Turbo 2 L 4 any day.
  17. I would not totally agree with you on this, look at Audi and how EVERYTHING is based on a FWD platform with AWD option and it has not hurt them. My big issue with the Continental is for such a large supposed to be Luxury car, the interior space SUCKS. Especially back seat as there is NO SPACE for big guys. My personal test is set the front seat for myself to be comfy and then get in behind the seat and i have to open my legs to push up on the sides of the front seat and bend my neck and fold up as there is no head room or legroom.
  18. VW sure does not seem to have their act together on product planning especially after Diesel gate, I would think they would by now.
  19. I expect the only way to get a decent MPG for this Hypercar is if they put in the supercapacitors from the EV F1 racing that give a boost to the electric motors, then you might get a .25% increase in MPG while you get a huge boost in performance.
  20. I thought you were, I hear you're taking delivery of your new buggy this week.
  21. Better if we all just stop using the fictional EPA ratings since they do not seem to ever materialize. Believe it when you actually see it in real world driving.
  22. You might want to hold off blowing your MB Horn till you actually sit in a Trackhawk. The interior is very nice. MB is equal to it but other than the overblown S line, AMG is only on par.
  23. LOL, might not be a "great first try" but seems to be able to hold up against being run over by Toyota!
