    Laugh of the day, New neighbors, 5 inches of snow on xmas day, kids outside playing and wife sees husband leaving, Yells be careful, it looks slick. Husband response, that is why we bought a 4x4, it knows how to drive in the snow and drives off with a if we were in the city we would not need this. Amazing the people that grow up in the city are clueless about the suburbs.

    Thanks @ccap41 I missed that then I was looking for it and it is not on the front page, they bury it. Plus another negative against the CLA, Premium Fuel To get less MPG than the Cruze? Seems like poor German engineering to me as many an American auto company does this for less cost. I really see no value in the CLA other than a badge that someone is wanting. Pathetic car.

    Where? As I just looked SMK and NOWHERE does it say it is a FWD car. You always say everything is RWD Superior till people point out A-Class.

    Thank you, MB web site does not state rwd or fwd. I appreciate the info. This just makes the CLA even a worse deal than it already was. Thanks Drew, This is a great point looking at it from the Manufactures viewpoint.

    55hp more but needed to move an 400+ lbs of weight more. Interesting is if you go out and I wish I had thought of this earlier, but using Edmonds compare tool. WOW, Chevy gives you real Leather at 28K and for 33,6K MB can only give you Leatherette? plus yes MB has extra year on warranty but Chevy has extra year on powertrain, you start comparing them side by side and the CLA is blown away. https://www.edmunds.com/car-comparisons/?veh1=401717637&veh2=401717008

    @Drew Dowdell @smk4565 So you guys made me curious to see the difference in the base CLA versus Cruze. What was interesting is that at $33,695 for the CLA you have a base car that is nothing special compared to so many superior options out there for the same money with much better packaging. In the Cruze, to get it identically configured to the CLA, I had to actually go with the Premier edition of the Cruze and still it came at $28,475. Considerable difference for the FWD Premier versus RWD CLA 250. Not really sure that most people other than looking for a badge would care to spend $5,220.00 more for what really is just a commuter car for most.

    Awesome!

    I would disagree, it was enjoyable and a true handing off to the young generation for future movies. What more were you expecting? They had to hand off the mantel to someone.

    Still love to see it, Got the email one and that rocks!

    Nice ride, just too small for me. Perfect for most others though.

    Yet so many people fork over big money to the Sport Jocks that drive the Escalades and they are not rappers, so I figure America wants to drive what the over paid Sport Jocks drive.

    I think an R8 will come back but as an EV model in the distant future.

    Happy Holidays to all this 2017! We have all had our take on the auto industry and much more this year, it has been one for the history books and it now looks to be the start of an industry changing year as the success of the Chevy Bolt, start of rough production for Tesla 3 and so many new options as the industry moves from cars to CUVs and an exciting Detroit auto show ahead of us. Just wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you to all that have made Cheers and Gears such an entertaining and awesome place to talk about the auto industry. Way too many people to thank each one individually but want to say; Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you all!

    I could go for a Black Chrome package where the only items are the roof rack, cadillac grill and rims. The rest would be monochromatic painted. I just think too much chrome is over flash of blingy and it seems we have gone back into a baby boomer more chrome better the auto thinking.

    Makes ya wonder what GM could do if they were not a public traded company!

    So many people on the Forum and in the news says making a profit on sub compact and compact auto's is hard, so my assumption is that those auto's have low profits for BMW and MB as well.
  17. G. David Felt
    One has to wonder why waste R&D on such small worthless hard to profit auto's, why not just stay with the C class and above of higher profit luxury?
  18. G. David Felt
    WOW, talk about a Mouth Full if they do: RDX SH-AWD P-AWS Makes one wonder if it could be an RDX SH/P-AWD/AWS and we complain about how bad BMW and MB is about acronyms.

    Tesla End of Year Updates Letter Seems Tesla is looking to simplify their product portfolio, Effective immediately all Model S and X now come standard with Dual Motors. they are also pushing solar options, trying to grab money in reservations for the new roadster and offering Free Supercharging with 5 year extended warranty.
  20. G. David Felt
    Yup, settle this out and move forward, way to much time allowing legal to bill and not getting anything really done. Move forward please.
  21. G. David Felt
    It would be nice to have a chrome option for those that want it otherwise Monochromatic for the rest of us that want a luxury auto without all the Bling affect.
  22. G. David Felt
    Is it just me of does this thing seriously have a Station Wagon vibe to it?
  23. G. David Felt
    That front end makes me think this could be based on Nissan's new EV, Hybrid, ICE platform. I could totally see it as an EV car. on the other hand, WTF Infiniti, cars are a dying area, where are the new superior CUV's? Maybe the executives missed the memo that most of America is crazy about CUVs rather than cars.

    We need to send a bill to all of Europe for the rebuild and the saving of their butts from WWI and WWII. Even my relatives in Germany need to send us Money, so much would not be achieved if not for what America has given the world over and the lack of respect back. Also time to stop trying to be a world cop and just focus on rebuilding America with a focus on Multicultural all encompassing respect for each other. Course that would require truly draining the swamp and dumping the morons off in some other country. But I digress and back to the topic in hand of Europe not liking America. Fact is that except for the Autobahn, most of Europe is not able to handle the size of auto's that GM, Ford or FCA America makes. I think I agree with who ever said GM needs to go into Europe using the Holden Name for all auto's along with Corvette and Cadillac and call it a day.

    @oldshurst442 Nice Points made, I get what you mean. I think in regards to mentioning Ford or GM that they are just talking about mass production of an auto or truck, not specific to class 8 semi's. Course I could be wrong, but that is how I take it. Still gonna be an interesting world to see what sticks and what does not. Seems to be the late 1800's early 1900's in plenty of EV startups trying to replace the old ICE auto companies.
