Dear MB,

The Vette is very much a value leader.

It is working. But there is still some butthurt hillbillies.

Just an FYI the video is only available to viewers in 'Murica. NBC will be issuing the international distribution rights to other countries on it's typical time table of 3-5 years, once no one gives a fuck anymore.

IIHS Small-Overlap Crash Test Results for Subcompact Cars Released, World Flips S@#t—Here's Why Everyone Should Calm Down — Car and Driver

Wow, so much Infiniti hate here and rapid euro fanboism.

You mean good reason like releasing numerous vehicles in overlapping segments?

This is at the request of manufacturers (or should I say the result of extensive lobbying). They very much prefer a fractured, segmented global auto market. It allows them to manipulate pricing and ensure a local market only has access to the vehicles which will bring the highest margin. If there was as single…

For all intents and purposes, the Scirocco R is a front-wheel drive Golf R with a new body. It doesn't really torque steer, but it does feel more alive and dramatic than the Golf R in that you're involved in keeping it straight and you have a better feel for the front end than it's fatter brother.

The base model CLA seating material is a rubber based material called MB-Tex. Leather is a $1500 option. And the panorama is the sunroof (albeit a bigger, nicer sunroof than the Camry) - $1480 option. Heated seats and Nav also add another $1380. Blind spot is another Camry feature which would cost you $550 more on…

Well in Canada the fully optioned Camry is $33k. The base CLA (with no options) is also $33k while the fully optioned CLA is $49k

A fully loaded XLE Camry is $375 less than a bare bones base model CLA. If both are fully loaded the CLA is $16,000 more than the Camry. Your comparison is silly. But I would still buy the CLA.

I believe the F150 is only sold in North America?

You made me think of another challenge with these....I wonder if there is a low voltage cut out for the battery so that extended use doesn't leave you unable to start your truck? The alternator would also be an issue for extended use.

Accurate sure, but when presented with a receptacle users are going to treat this like one they would find in their home...an extension cord will be plugged in and one or more power tools will be added and quite quickly they will learn that 400 watts (or 3.3amps) is but a fraction of what they get our of a residential…

My bad in calling out Ford on that one. I;d just seen so many references to the 110/400Watt outlet in the coverage of the F150 I assumed.

And I hope you included a circuit breaker because it's going to get super annoying if every time someone plugs a 5amp drill in to it blows an ATO

Dear Ford,

I think your models are bang on as far as what they need to do...reality is your $5-70k low on what real world pricing would be:

Ok.
