    Nope it is properly priced, $8300+ cheaper than the GLC300 4matic with more features and function and better materials than the MB. This is a way better auto all the way around then MB is currently building and selling with more HP and Torque to boot. If you feel that about the Envision and XT5, then you have to reevaluate the MB CUV lineup that has the same problem and lower quality materials at this point as the Envision has surpassed the build quality of the MB.

    Guess MB is taking a page from GM of the 80's with make it all the same from bottom Value auto to top rape you of your life savings auto and still have them all look the same so you cannot tell how much one spent just like Balthazar has stated. So then next up for MB is to drop like a rock and then bankrupt and reorganize and rebuild like GM did is what history is teaching us.

    Once again, you need to get your facts straight. Most of the Lincoln dealerships are stand alone. That wasn't always the case but they are now.Oh and nice troll remark in the middle there. Classy </sarcasm> Actually Surreal, I have to disagree with you on the stand alone dealerships. On the west coast, I ONLY FIND FORD / Lincoln Dealerships with BOTH auto's on the same showroom floor. I have yet to see let alone be in a stand alone Lincoln Dealership.Just a few miles from my house is the Harris Ford Lincoln Dealership. They just finished a major remodel and expanded their one big showroom floor to show off both Lincoln and Ford side by side. HarrisFordLincolnDealership.jpg Negative vote aside, I have seen nothing but dedicated dealers in the Phoenix Valley and most of the ones I saw back east were the same way (lived in NC for 35 years). Point being that SMKs claim of 10% is pure trolling bull&#036;h&#33;.Also of note, I did say that there were still some like the ones you mentioned so why that merited a down vote, I haven't the foggiest. U'm so why is Fordcosworth down voting you on both posts? I only saw on my recent business trip to New Jersey Ford/Lincoln Dealerships. But regardless of this, you are right some areas will have separate and others will have merged. FordCosworth, please explain the two down votes to Surreal, otherwise without proper explanation of your downvote, this is trolling. Lol, what about that Porsche on the far left? I say some bloke traded it in for a real American Muscle Mustang GT500.

    Yawn! Next! EF Viper Fastest ever!

    Happy Fourth to you all. Just saw a video in which I was disappointed in how poorly our education system is failing people and not teaching the history of how this nation came into being. You would think if you were born here, you would know these basic questions about what is the 4th of July, who we left, etc. Happy 4th of July to you all!

    Just another day Eh?

    depending on the weather, all fruit can be sweeter or sour, sweeter means higher sugar content. Fish does matter as some fish is from the deep ocean and have better omega 3 than other fish say krill which is usually in warmer water. It does make a difference.
  9. G. David Felt
    Nope they also are a good source of Omega 3.

    Saw this morning at the Park N Ride a beat up but still running Cavalier z24. Crazy, I thought they all died within the first few years of use. Fun car but so unreliable.

    I think if you have a Tubo 4 banger, it is a step up to Hybrid. I would have no problem with a Turbo 4 Hybrid at the same starting price as a V6. They both have the same performance, but of course the Hybrid gets better MPG. Let the market then decide which they want to buy and have a step up to turbo V8 and top line is SC V8 for the CT6.

    So personally I use Kirkland Signature Omega 3 gel pill twice a day from Costco. Just awesome packed liquid at a reasonable price. Here is one of the better reviews and top 3 Omega 3 supplements. http://www.bestconsumerreviews.com/omega-3-reviews/ http://pthome.org/best-omega-3-supplements/

    WOW - Ford / Lincoln sold 1,313,048 year to date. Chevy, GMC, Buick, Cadillac sold 1,438,915 I have to honestly question if GM is able to deal with 4 name plates compared to going to 3 or 2. This is not much more in sales compared to Ford with 2 labels only.

    I totally agree with you, this is a confusing announcement. Rental makes no sense unless the driver cannot get qualified for a purchase and rental is the only way to go.

    I agree that light is a nice touch. Buick Envision also had LED lighting in all the foot wells and in the cup holders, pretty much any tray or place you might want to store stuff in. My 1994 GMC SLE Suburban had this also but light bulbs and then by the late 90's GM pulled stuff like that out to save money in just about all of their auto's. Now we see these nice touches coming back in. So glad there is engineers who care about small touches like this.

    Wonder what the glasses would be like for that 8 eyed beast when the vision goes bad!

    Impressive side stepping but 100% unrelated to what I was saying. Good grief man. Pay attention.Now that you bring it up though, shall we talk about the German auto makers and how they treat their US employees? The average wage of a German auto worker is $67/hr. It's not even a third of that here and no, it does not have squat do with Germany being a more costly place in which to live. That is what I am talking about here. They pay a shot wage here and all the rest of the money goes to Germany. Now I realize that GM, Ford, and FCA do the same in other countries but you cannot sit on that high horse of yours and complain about their practices while ignoring German makes. Simply baffling how you can't get that concept. And please explain this bit of hypocrisy. You said it doesn't matter about the country of origin but not even two months ago you said you'd never buy a Chinese made S Class. Yet SMK says it is OK to have an american built GLC or any other US built German Driving machine. Also where is our 6 weeks of PTO that they get in Germany. If we are to go down that Socialist Rabbit hole, then you have everyone in the US deserving to have 6 weeks of PTO plus 2 weeks of sick leave and their very high hourly rate of pay, not that everyone deserves the same, as hell there is plenty of lazy ass Americans here.

    So true, This is why I think all the Seat belt laws are just a pure taxation / money grab on the population. You cannot nor do we need to protect society against stupidity. It is what cleans out the idiots no matter how smart they are.
  19. G. David Felt
    Yawn, sad for the loss of life but like anything that pushes the limits of what one can do in an auto, there is always going to be accidents. Imperfect humans building imperfect autos.

    UGLY! How does this not get fixed after it being an issue for so long?
  21. G. David Felt
    You might be right. I know that the Black Label package includes complimentary car washes and an annual detail for the vehicle. " For your convenience, Lincoln Black Label ownership includes pickup and delivery of your vehicle for all your service or maintenance needs, as well as the provision of a temporary vehicle." That's on Lincoln's site under the " MEMBERSHIP PRIVILEGES " SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Why would I pay for Black Label service if everyone else gets it now for free?

    Maybe the Fermentation is still on going and in your stomach it finishes up at 8%!

    Like much of your goal post moving or extreme corner cases, you just cannot admit that American companies can build outstanding products. MB just like GM has engineering firms all over the world to address and make sure local tastes are taken into account for the products. Bulk of engineering work is still done here in the US by American companies just like MB does the bulk of their engineering in Germany. Yes they have a local team here but their input is reviewed and still fully approved in Germany. Just a Balthazar stated, you support a German Brand and I accept that, I support American brand but you have issues with that and pretty much any none MB brand. Your American built GLC is still a German product from a German brand. The Buick Envision is China Built but still an American product from an American brand. Not selling on a value proposition? Ummm...https://www.google.com/search?q=2014+mercedes+cla+ad&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwia4bKmrNDNAhVE5mMKHYWYCdIQ_AUICCgB&biw=414&bih=628&dpr=3#imgrc=Q2KbY5ZTTAUDVM%3A Totally agree, how is Starting at $29,900 not a value proposition?

    Very nice pics, thanks for sharing.

    No big deal they are just now getting caught up to where Lexus is at in their auto's with a long wide screen like that. Course Lexus screen in their CUVs is on top of the dash kinda like the MB floating screen thing, just bigger.
