Car talk tré: Carpocalypse Now!

I was but apparently nobody caught it.
I should have said $17.5k Murican to make it more obvious.

I always say that $xx,xxx.xx in CAD = $10 USD.

Be it $500 CAD, or $5M CAD, it's still $10 USD.

Back in the late 90's it sure seemed like that was the case. I would buy all kinds of stuff from Canada and it was always MUCH cheaper, even with some "crazy" shipping fees.

Noted. Next time it'll be $10 and $10 only.

I think the proportions of the CLA are pretty jacked. IMO they're not good looking cars. Haven't seen the new one or the A class or whatever. But I'd have a hard time picking one of those when you could get a gorgeous CPO C class for likely less.

I never liked the CLA either. I think they're ugly and have a squatting ass that doesn't look like it was designed for the car, it looks like a transplant.. butt implant?? Lastly, I wouldn't want to buy the MB that is marketed as the Toyota Camry of MB cars. I would much rather GTI or Golf before a CLA every day of the week.

That joke still exists between me and some of my canadian friends.

When the CLA was first announced it seemed like it would be a GTI/GLI competitor, directly. Then it wasn't.

Only purpose it serves is to get newish college grads into the MB family early, but it still makes little sense.

Silly car.

I like the CLA

***Priced #1 in the UNITED STATES and #1 In VALUE in the UNITED STATES*** This ONE-OWNER and EXTREMELY WELL EQUIPPED 2017 Mercedes-Benz C Class C 43 AMG 4MATIC AWD Coupe with the NAVIGATION and HEATED LEATHER SEATING is nicely equipped with 4MATICA? All Wheel Drive, 13 Premium Speakers, 4-Way Lumbar...

4MATICA???

either depreciation is pretty bad or accidents, issues have happened within ownership. It is cheaper than a brand new base E class.

There's a few of them this price point, so I'm going to say depreciation on the MB cars sucks.

Matt Farah and some other guy were just saying on their podcast that some 2015/16 AMG that was $130-140k MSRP can be had for $50-60K right now and was a "steal".

This is a decent deal that thing is fully loaded ~65k msrp or so . Nice cars overall.

AFAIK these guys sit around nude, I just listen on my phone during my commute.

45s may be quicker than a 43 but I really like the current C.

What's the range on an eGolf?

Volkswagen and complicated 1st gen electrical systems. What could possibly go wrong.

[CorvetteWaxer]

5 Canadian "miles".

[max225]

Absolute shit, 105 miles or so. Which essentially means you're driving on a "red low fuel light" when it is "full".

Same goes for the new leaf. No one is making any affordable electric cars with range (sub 30k USD). Other than the bolt which is hideous and a bit more.

Wow, that's terrible.

I never understood the point of electric cars with double digit ranges. I mean yea... "everyone drives less than 50 miles a day" type scenarios but that essentially confines the car to a city.

Pure EVs with double digit ranges make zero sense. Hell, anything with less than 300 miles range is a tough sell in a lot of the country IMO.
