And you’re deflecting. Just sayin’. It should be noted that I haven’t spoken to SMK about that in months and it almost always after he has to inject Mercedes into any Cadillac thread but you go on thinking you have some kind of high ground here lol. Meanwhile, you continue on your little two year long crusade over what a man fits in. Again, just sayin’.
-
@ccap41—Boo freakin hoo. Cry me a damn river over it. All I see is petty trolling since this subject has been discussed a few dozen times now over the last two years. Who gives a rats ass other than you and one other person here? Seriously. You made the bait post about him fitting into a Macan so don’t act like this is something that he brought on here. Just utter horse$h!, to be honest and just beyond petty.
-
Your first comment about it, right there, with NO mention of back seats. Again, point that finger at yourself before you point it at me. By all means though, keep up your little crusade lol.
-
You hear yourself right? You have spent the last two years harping about what David claims he can and cannot fit in so the question needs to asked of you. What the FCK is YOUR issue? Is it such a big damn deal that you have to constantly troll him over it? Before you point that finger at me, you might want to start pointing that at yourself next time.
-
Common sense is not your friend is it? First of all, you didn't state which seat, which is still irrelevant and dumb for the second reason which is that the Porsche I brought up is LARGER than the one you referenced and it still has less LEGROOM room back there than the Bolt (Cayenne 36" vs Bolt 36.5". Now unless you think the SMALLER Macan has more room than the Cayenne, you are just flat talking out of your posterior right now. Your endless beating of this dead horse=useless AF.
-
Okay, so just ignore the ACTUAL numbers I just provided and continue on with your dumb little crusade. FFS.
-
I know you're partially joking here but I should point out something. The Bolt has 40.1" of headroom up front while a larger than the Macan (Porsche doesn't even list Macan interior dimensions for some reason) Porsche Cayenne has 39.6". He would have a legit argument against the Macan for that reason alone. Point is, maybe this whole nonsense about what David will and will not fit in should just take a knee.
-
Just trolling extra hard this week huh? He clearly clarified the custom aspect of it and was stating that frames could be built like this from the start, which would not even begin to be the issue you are making it out to be since he is not referring to that exact frame above, only using it for visual reference. Read his post again and then see why your reply was not even necessary.
-
Like someone else here, you assumed instead of asking or perhaps just reading a little further down for his more detailed explanation.
-
So was yours, which was apparently to troll him based on an incorrect assumption. Don’t get salty with me just because you got busted for it.
-
Maybe the best action would have been to not assume his intent.
-
He is talking about EVs.
-
(Looks at your average blinked out G-Wagen and laugh at your Escalade assessment like it’s the only one capable of looking “tacky/gawdy”. Just astounds me the level off BS you resort to when putting down domestics yet ignore similar or worse issues with the Germans. Pathetic.
-
Two things. One: It still has a better design flow than any BMW or Benz of that era and even in monotone, it looks better than the 5 series mentioned above. Two: There were other color options that you, of course, ignored. And quite honestly, you are out of your German loving mind if you think it looks worse than these (slabs of plastic and all):
-
No the hell it was not. It’s only selling point was performance. That thing, as evidenced by the pic above, had just as much plastic as anything from GM and that’s saying something. There was not one thing luxury about it. I know you now down to all things German but you need your eyes checked if you don’t see the plastic hell that was in those.
-
Your emphasis on the negative, from the get go, suggested otherwise. I stand by what I said. They are not handing a damn thing over and emphasizing said statement in bold does nothing to change that fact.
-
Good grief @balthazar. You spent all those words just to ignore the actual reasons why they are doing this in the first place. You even included an apples to oranges baseball team comparison. Don’t know what the deal is with you making phantom issues out of this but history has shown this has been part of the business since day one and it is not going to diminish GMs brand but doing this. It’s really that simple.
-
Why would they need to do that? In other words, they don’t need to buy into Honda.
-
Until you had to replace that motor. My best friend had a ‘97 back in the day and when the water pump took a dump, it wrecked the motor as well. Ford wanted $16K to replace that motor. It was still $8K to replace it second hand. Just obscene but not shrouding given that the motor was only ever produced for that one generation SHO.
-
The above is what you said, clearly separated from the rest of your statement @balthazar and I stand by what I said. You can’t simply ignore the consumer factor just because it doesn’t align with the rest of your argument. “The end is nigh” is obvious sarcasm and does not change my core point.
-
Not according to Balth. Apparently it’ll be the end of GM if they do what they’ve been doing for decades lol. And that is why you apparently don’t get it.
-
All of this because somehow it has never occurred to Balth that GM is well aware of the very thing he thinks is an issue. They are not going to do something like this if they thought it would put them at a competitive disadvantage. That would be simply asinine logic to have otherwise.
-
That advantage will still be there. Not sure what part of “2027” you are not getting here. GM has a dozen or so models planned before then and this deal will greatly reduce costs, yet another common practice amongst carmakers seeking mutually beneficial deals. Like I said, a non-issue.
-
You're right. you're always right Balth. WTF do I know? I yield. Just skip the fact that said platform won't be in anything by Honda until at least 2027 and ignore what I just said about the average customer not knowing or much less caring about such things, you are always right. And here I thought SMK was the skilled one at cherry picking, bar moving, and creating phantom issues that only HE thinks are issues.
-
Not so long ago, the Saturn Vue used the Honda built 3.5L V6 and I guarantee you that most buyers were not even aware of it when they bought. There are plenty of other examples of this but that is the first one that came to my mind. Ford and GM co-opted the 10 speed transmission that is in their current autos and trucks. How many buyers are even aware of any of these things? Not many so save for the car nuts here, it is (again) a non-issue.
