    Beautiful Cars, where did you find them at? The SRX has clear hints to the first generation merged with second generation SRX. I like it better than either. The CTS Coupe seems to be a blend of cadillac with MB. I love the rear wheel wells. Front end is a bit too MB style for me in regards to the grill but the lights are nice and they need to tone down the front air damn.

    So based on your comments then you would agree this is a FAILURE for MB. No other way to look at it other than just having a model for model sake to compete against BMW due to overblown ego's. This is how GM,Ford and Chrysler started down the road to mistaken problems in the late 70's, 80's and early 90's. Executive Ego is to be blamed for mistakes like this.

    Agreed, at this price point, they should be standard and not an Option. One Request I would love to change on all MB, BMW and Audi auto's guess for all European auto's is that stupid rear fog light requirement where one rear light is twice as bright as the other. It looks bad and really does not serve a purpose except for some political hag. If you want brighter rear lights, then just require it for the whole rear not just 1 light.

    Hello VW, You are the Chevy of Germany and NO luxury is not VW. Better to focus on quality right now and decent marketing to get a solid message and reputation than try to build a VW badge luxury auto and fail again. People perception around the world of VW must be very different than her in the US. Ask people and VW shows no where on the Luxury perception list.

    on this one!

    So it is your feel of handling, which is based on personal preference, not the actual handling of the vehicle, which is based on physics and not based on personal preference. But the actual handling of the vehicle is better since I made the changes to the suburban. Less Body roll Positive steering feedback etc.

    and now we are back to electric auto's that started this industry 100 years ago.

    How about the Tracker Convertibles you could buy. They are still very popular in Seattle I see them all over.

    So then the 7 series becomes the Boomer car for the retired?

    I will say that my 94 GMC LTE that has a 3 inch lift handled so much better when I went from the stock rims / tires to the low profile tires / rim combo. Everyone find what they like and I like the lower profile tires and larger rims for better handling.

    Awesome, sounds like a Diesel test drive should be done by us all.

    Yet DI on Pushrod engines from GM seem to do the same thing compared to turbo. I wonder if this marketing push is really just that, no real benefit but increase in cost due to complexity.

    Sure will take updated pictures but I believe in my posted images in the gallery you can see the suburban and trailblazer with them already. Will need to add the escalade. Drew, I understand that you can get 90K mile tires on 15 inch rims like you have on your CR-V. The point I was trying to make is that better handling comes with the larger rims and while the tires for the larger rims are more expensive, that cost can be offset by buying the better tires. Some people only get a 35-40K mile tire and complain about the cost when you can easily deal with that buy getting a quality 90K mile tire. I believe we would both agree that an 18" rim will give a better handling than a 15" rim. Then to deal with it since the cost from 90K 15" to 90K 18" tires I feel is minimal you get better handling plus long tire life.

    I have to say that this is a SEXY CUV!
  17. G. David Felt
    But Quality tires with 75 to 100K miles pay for themselves rather than every 40-50K miles replacing tires. The premium cost for a long life quality tire is worth it to me. I get easy 100K miles out of the BF Goodrich AllTerrain 22" tires and I expect a good long life on the Duelers I have on my Trailblazer also.

    It is amazing to see how far we have come as all the auto's back then really looked alike. Glad we are beyond there.

    Good News for Jeep, It will be interesting to see how the Cherokee does next year and if the Renegade as well as Patriot and Compass replacement add too or take away from this.

    Would be interesting to see how many of the cruze diesel have this issue.
  21. G. David Felt
    Interesting, did not know that Ram required mid grade fuel. That blows.

    The biggest turn off on the German interiors besides being dated like BMW is the floating NAV screen thing that MB has gone to. It looks out of place and just wrong. It actually looks like an after thought.

    The big news here is that Hyundai new design on CNG tank weights about 175lbs for the 10 gallon tank. This compares to normal steel tanks of the same capacity that weight between 350 to 400 pounds. As such this makes a huge difference in fuel efficiency and of course weight of the auto.

    Very Cool, Looking forward to hearing all about it and the tracking of the build. I understand the cost of the TDI being an issue. Best of luck with the truck.

    Happy B-Day!
