    Maybe they should have brought back the Montero Sport name instead of Eclipse, would have made more sense.

    Totally different vehicles though. the Compass will run circles around the Wrangler and 4Runner on the street while getting considerably better fuel mileage while still maintaining a pretty impressive off-road capability that few will ever actually surpass. not to mention the 34k does include things such as all the safety gizmos (lane keep, brake assist, back-up sensors, etc, etc that for the most part aren't even available on a wrangler or 4Runner. I love the Wrangler and I would love a Willy's wheeler, but even that with just a few options matches the Compass's price and lacks many features. A Very apples and oranges comparison. Give up the huge sunroof and some driving aids and you could have a trailhawk right at 30k.

    This. I didn't have an Eclipse, but had 2 91 and 1 92 Talon TSi AWD and using that name here is a disgrace

    Ah, that is where we are in different circumstances. Also, having hated cloth seats in the bug, I love them. i have had leather nefore, but the cloth is just much more toasty and no sticky legs in the summer. Everyone has different possibilities. i would have it off-road at least every weekend lol.

    Congrats man! If I was looking and didn't go for a trailhawk this is pretty well how i would order except in Deep Crystal Granite. i loved my manual transmission Patriot. I believe it does, not sure and yes, give me the extra ground clearance, off-road tires, better approach and departure angles, and ESPECIALLY that LOW RANGE, things not even offered in an Escape no matter how you cut it, over leather anyday. heck, even with cloth you get heated seats and that includes all the safety gizmos and even a heated steering wheel. IMHO, if you have a cellphone navigation is useless. Oh, Trailhawk comes with a fullsize spare, not a mini spare.

    Priced out the way i would want it the Trailhawk is 33,965 which is everything but the navigation, power liftgate, and leather. Worth it considering the truly class exclusive off-road equipment.

    I priced a TItanium Escape and Limited Compass and the Escape with the 1.5 was roughl 1480 cheaper. the escape design also dates back to physical year 13 and even with the refresh some parts are outdated. i also don't see brake assist which is on the built Compass. Close enough that it is no big deal though.
  8. Stew
    Pretty much par for the course in that size category these days The escape has jumped in price since then I am sure. Also, Trailhawk is much more than wheels, tires, and tow hooks. it has unique front and rear fascias for increased approach and departure angles, increased ground clearance, and most importantly, the 4x4 with low range.

    I am thinking it ma make i as a future option. The 2.4 is plenty fine for the average buyer, but there are those of us that want more and i hope eventually they offer something for us

    I am really hoping it gets the new FCA turbo 4, so far found only in the Guilla and Stelvio. Ah hell, let's just put the Turbo 2.9 V6 in it haha.
  11. Stew
    Still hoping something a bit more interesting comes down the line powertrain-wise, but this thing is sweet anyway.
  12. Stew
    So, it wasn't a typo yesterday. Interesting sounding.
  13. Stew
    YES! A new Typhoon would be awesome! Speaking of that, can't imagine it would be too hard to make a Canyon into a modern Cyclone. Better yet, give the Canyon the ZR2 treatment and put the TT V6 in it and watch me sell a nut and a kidney to get one OK, traveled a little off topic.
  14. Stew
    Yes there is some nice eye candy there hehe. Ugh, that crud has been going through everyone here I have had it for a bit over 3 weeks and it still isn't completely gone. Hope you get to feeling better!

    I do my first leg day his evening after work. eha. i am hoping the vaping works. It is literall the only thing I haven't tried. i have done the gum, looseness, Patches, Nicotine inhalers, Chantix, and I even on Welbutrin right now and it doesn't make a dent in y cravings lol.
  16. Stew
    Yes lol. 2 to 4 liters of soda and 2 to 3 energy drinks BUT I haven't had a diet dew since yesterday and one energy drink yresterday and one this morning. Had the worst freaking headache when I woke up haha. I am trying to drink between 75 and 100 OZs of water per day and am actually enjoying my gym visits haha. I do dread trying to start the vaping to quit smoking, but my brother got me a nice one for Christmas so I can at least try it lol. Also, doing the math, giving up the soda, energy drinks, and cigarettes alone should save me roughly $400 a month. Sometimes realizing how big the small totals can add up to be is pretty staggering.
  17. Stew
    Traverse SS? OK maybe if they used the 3.6 TT and a performance tuned AWD suspension I might be intrigued.
  18. Stew
    Sad to see it go. It had actually grown on me. Would love to see GM eventually see GM offer another hi-po sedan, though that doesn't seem like anything that will happen in near future .
  19. Stew
    I am a fanatic for the Diet Dew, I am not even going into how much I drink a day. And I usually drink 2 to 3 starbucks energy drinks a day, yeah i think I have a slight caffeine addiction. So far today i did have 1 energy drink and drunk of a 20 once dew and downing some 75 oz of water haha I am working towards. no energy and getting rid of the man-boobs are good motivators.......
  20. Stew
    So, go m first gym membership, working on giving up the diet Dew, Energy drinks, and cigarettes. THis is gonna be a bumpy right for the start haha.
  21. Stew
    THis is true, but still it is ice haha. I would probably go Golf R myself since really, the GLA is really just a hatchback CLA.
  22. Stew
    Like everyone says, drive wheels do not matter here. heck, even the BMW X1 is now based on FWD Mini architecture, I like the GLA, especially the GLA45 and I would like to see the XT3 come out with something to challenge it, but it surely is not required.
  23. Stew
    Caddy needs this and it is going to majorly help their bottom line. As or the comparisons to Lexus and Mercedes, last I checked both of them are aiming pretty low, cla/gla and Lexus has tried not 1 but 2 low priced Hybrids.
  24. Stew
    I bet it is like my Bug. If the tire warning comes on there is a button in the glovebox to reset it. if u don't, hen it won't go off.
  25. Stew
    Cannot wait for the Demon and Trackhawk!
