You mean like how a Corvette can range from $60k base MSRP to $120k in top-spec ZR1? All that range means to me is that there will be options for the retiree who want’s something unique in his garage, and the person that has no kids and more money than they know what to do with. 

I would argue that parents never actually know what their doing lol Just making shit up as they go and hoping they didn’t fuck up their kid along the way. If they did, oh well, better luck on the next one.

I mean, I do that. But probably 3 of the trips I take per year are just weekend trips that are cheap enough to justify the cost. Like if I find a round trip ticket to Denver from a Friday to Sunday or Monday for under $100, I can justify that because between airfare, food, and a cheap airbnb it doesn’t cost me much

eh, kind of difficult to find for under $25k still

It doesn’t, but I can see how you would think that. What road trash is it stopping? because anything big enough to damage the radiator (really the A/C condenser, intercooler, trans cooler, or power steering cooler as the radiator is behind all of that) is big enough to damage the grille anyways. It doesn’t take a

They don’t, I’m not sure when the last time you’ve sat in a Cadillac or compared, in person, multiple luxury brands, but Cadillac is on par with BMW and Audi in each vehicle’s segment. I’d even say Cadillac has more premium materials in their lower trim vehicles. A CT4 is way better equipped and a more pleasant place

Oh I’m aware. I just like to dig at the German luxury brands the same way people do at Cadillac. I’ve seen much better interior material quality in Cadillac than in BMW or Audi in the last 5-10 years, but nobody digs at those brands the same way they do at Cadillac. You would never say the same thing about weight,

Vehicle front ends should just be headlights and radiator. Just get rid of the fascia, it’s hardly even existent anyways

Holy Hell. At this point, why don’t car companies just stylize the cooling system and crossmembers, and just get rid of the front fascia all together? Like, what’s the point of even having one there?

to make your point: CUVs

That’s a shitload of plastic on the interior. And that is the BIGGEST grille I have ever seen on a car. It looks like it’s the size of a new GMC Sierra grille

I feel like 124k miles isn’t really all that many, especially for a diesel engine, but I really don’t have the slightest clue as to how long Mercedes engines last. It doesn’t seem that much more expensive than similar vehicles at that mileage and from less luxurious brands, and as stated in the article, the diesel

All the people always saying “iF yOu CaN aFfOrD tO eAt OuT, yOu CaN aFfOrD tO tIp!”

I’d say full size SUV’s have always been grossly over priced. Pickups didn’t start getting that way until the last 15 years or so. But I remember the day my mom came home with a brand new fully loaded Suburban in 1998. She paid $36k for it and even in today’s standards, that’s a lot of fucking money. Come to think of

I could see them being bought by Honda, like Polaris bought Indian and revitalized the brand.

The Escalade was first released in 1999 with an MSRP of $46k, and by 2003 was up to $51k. 22 model years, 4 generations, and a shit ton of technology later and you think it would still start at $50k?

This just made me miss Fancy Kristen

studying and adapting, not adopting the same safety measures. I read it.

Who said they were emulating Amazon. You’re drawing a lot of conclusions from the article that just say’s they’re studying Amazon’s practices. Doesn’t mean they’re going to do things the same way. You can watch somebody jump off the roof of their house and make the decision not to do that same thing. It’s basic
