AWD is really the hype right now.
Spotted a 2015 Mercedes C-class yesterday. Not a fan of that rear-end :/

I'm a big Merc fanboy, but their styling is love it or hate it.
Yea, AWD is a big deal these days. Most buyers will choose it if it's an option. I'm just hoping the RS has a good AWD system instead of the pedestrian system in the Escape.

I've loved everything Merc for the past few years so I'm hoping this new C-class isn't the start of a bad phase  I'd love to get my hands on an SLS (especially since discontinued), but the likeliness of that happening is nil  I know we briefly touched on the Focus RS and GTI in the RL whips thread. It's not that I dislike them, they've both definitely come a loooooong way. The Focus looks, and goes, infinitely better than it did 10 years ago. The GTI has never really been a disappointment either. I wouldn't mind having either, but I'd rather just have something else first lol. |

I'm excited to see what Ford does with the GT. The super car landscape has drastically changed since the last GT rolled off the assembly line nearly 10 years ago.

They better do me proud with the new Ford GT. Hopefully, they will keep the styling similar to how it was in 1966 and build it like a Lambo underneath.

Eh, I personally want Ford to move away from the retro styling. They actually couldn't make the front bumper look the same as the Ford GT as it doesn't comply with crash regulations, which kinda sucks.

I'm skeptical. They last iteration came onto the scene quite thunderously, but exited stage left and few noticed.

Would rather have the smaller ATS-V.

I like both, maybe the CTS a little bit more. Since we're on Cadis, the new Escalades ass lights are ri i

It seems to be a design element for this iteration, vertical lights. Not a fan.
My only issue with the CTS-V is build quality. When compared to its competition it just doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny.

When compared to its competition it just doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny. Yea I would probably agree. I do think overall longevity and reliability will be better than anything from Merc or BMW. And far beyond Audi. |

+1 for build quality.
Audi definitely. BMW maybe. Mercs are one of the most reliable cars imo.
