    Some will say who cares as long as Sergio can take our money and waste it on his stupid Fiat and Alfa crap.

    Rollin Coal seems to be a past time of the south especially as a Prius Repellent!

    Thinking about this picture, it does make me look around and while I see allot of Ford, Chevy, GMC and RAM diesels, older ones being 7 or more years old I see some black, but nothing like this on any of the newer trucks. They are clear other than the heat. Yet with that said, I have noticed trucks like this that come out of the 4 wheel parts place and the Diesel Dynamics place and blow a ton of black so I am thinking more 3rd party performance applications where they dump a ton more diesel into the motor to produce power and the end result is this black soot. I am going to say this witch hunt is just that, a witch hunt and that I really doubt GM and Ford are using defeat devices. Hopefully who ever actually takes each model year and retests and checks for alternative programming also is aware enough to look for if the trucks have 3rd party performance add ons as that will skew things greatly.

    Weird, Guess I hit a fake news site as I saw GM listed at 1.6 million. Yet even then the point being if we put all of GM together to be equal to MB, then they still outsold MB.
  5. G. David Felt
    Yes MB sold more than Cadillac, but then lets look at that 472,000. This included all their car versions, vans, trucks,etc. So if we look at GM, then the 1.6 million auto's they sold in 2016 clearly beats MB. Apple to Apple comparison. Cadillac, Buick and Chevy equal the whole MB product line.

    Is this not pretty much most of the mid west? Heck I know riding the train from Chicago to Seattle you see a ton of auto's lined up in the fields that the train runs parallel too. Crazy, so many projects and not enough time.

    OK, first test the trucks and see if cheating software is on them. Second, do they really have 705,000 current owners having them represent them in this? NO, so how is this frivolous lawsuit being allowed forward? Third, I wonder how GM would have gotten their diesel through testing if they were cheating. Unlike VW lie, GM is using all the various options to clean up the emissions. I really doubt these trucks are cheating. I agree that I doubt all 6 have come together to cheat . I also agree with the tv interview that this firm is assuming all auto companies that build Diesel auto's are cheating and must pay. Strictly it is a money grab I feel and the looser will be users that have valid needs of diesel for pulling / hauling. Interesting, that many news feel this could force everyone to walk away from diesel. I agree with the ending comments that this will make companies think twice. One does have to wonder just how clean can a company make such a dirty fuel.

    Interesting, the third row is so close to the roof and glass, I am surprised it is legally safe. Not impressed with kids in the seats. Guess good for Tailgating! Over all if you need to haul more than 5 people get an SUV/CUV. This is crazy.
  12. G. David Felt
    Cool to know, interesting that in all the time I have been in tesla S and seen them that I never have seen this option or heard about it. Weird. Those have got to be some tiny seats for tiny kids.

    We'll the story says lightweight construction platform, could they just be saying how the i3/i8 are constructed which is heavy use of carbon fiber not the actual existing platform?
  14. G. David Felt
    Very Interesting! First big question, where are the two kids being put in the Tesla S? Trunk? Last I knew there was no 3rd row seat. The charts are good and should really send home a clear message about the differences. Agree, I know plenty that have placed their deposits for a Tesla 3 and are excited for an EV that is priced between 15-50K. I suspect many will be disappointed when they see that the features they want are pushing their Tesla 3 into Tesla S price range. I would not be surprised to see many cancel their reservation. Bigger question to ask is how many once they see the pricing, will flip the reservation over to an S model?
  15. G. David Felt
    Totally subjective as MB has NOT built the best cars in the world for the last 40+ years. The S class has been shit at times especially in the 70-s to early 90's. 80's being the worst. Far better built options so get a reality check, every automaker has good and bad times and right now for the last 15-20 years the S class has been successful due to being mostly sold as a taxi and a ubber rich auto with crazy priced options that have allowed it to be at the top of their game when other auto companies fell.

    He could have done so much if he did not take the billions of profits and waste it on Alfa and Fiat.

    BMW Z4 spy shots say Rebadge Miata built by Toyota! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/z4/94096/new-bmw-z4-fresh-spy-shots-reveal-more-of-new-roadster So found this, this morning and I have to say that Toyota will come out of this with a new Supra that should be very interesting and yet as I state in my title, I see more than a little Miata in this cameo car. According to the story, BMW and Toyota are building side by side on the same lightweight platform that underpins the I3 and I8 this new Z4 and what will be the return of the Toyota Supra. This should be an interesting release!

    EV's will bring us our biggest splash of new platforms. Let's face it, we are in the Twilight Dusk of ICE auto's and as they do fade, the new platforms are going to be the Hybrids / EV's.

    So in reading over so many reviews on the CT6, one thing becomes very clear. Cadillac has a superior engineered auto. Personal preference comes heavily into play in regards to the interior of the CT6 and like SMK a Rabid Fan Boy of Benz, the other auto web sites pretty much also are either biased heavily by their fan boy love of Benz or one of the other auto makers. Neutrality of being a journalist is becoming very rare in deed. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/volvo/s90/2017/volvo-s90-t6-cadillac-ct6-20t-mercedes-benz-e300-luxury-sedan-comparison/ http://www.caranddriver.com/cadillac/ct6 http://www.consumerreports.org/cars/cadillac/ct6/2017/overview https://www.cars.com/research/cadillac-ct6-2017/ http://autoweek.com/article/drive-reviews/first-drive-2016-cadillac-ct6-fresh-take-american-luxury https://www.kbb.com/car-news/all-the-latest/2017-cadillac-ct6--video-review-and-road-test/2100001417/ http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/first-drives/reviews/a28012/2017-cadillac-ct6-review/ There are plenty more sites with reviews but you clearly have your camps of lovers all things German, Lovers all things Asian and the final camp of Lovers all things American.

    Continuation of the slow death of Diesel.

    Very Cool Why do they not offer pictures of this and only a generic release of the details. http://www.gm.com/mol/m-2017-may-0524-yukon-denali.html Motor1 had some pics:

    Check out this V roasting on the Autobahn. At 11min is where you see him hit the no limit zone and run up to 292kph. Pretty sweet and stable run.
  24. G. David Felt
    @oldshurst442 I agree, that self parking is overrated. I feel that this makes people lazier.
  25. G. David Felt
    Only a matter of time before this would be seen, but in Washington where Prius are very popular, I am seeing more gen 1 & 2 types on the side of the roads. After all they are over 100K miles and in many cases people are not doing the maintenance.
