So you want a boxy vehicle for the large cargo room, but a very swooped vehicle for the sport look. Does such a vehicle even exist without entering the forth dimension? A super raked hood with a large cargo space….. didn’t GM already experiment with another strange looking vehicle, something named after a central/south American ancient peoples?
Forgot an obvious one, this GLS 580 V8 twin turbo really kicks butt. Hauls a lot of stuff and tows 3500KG with gusto! Hey why not an AMG GLS63?
that is a good point, to be honest with you, when I think of a sport SUV, in my case, Mercedes is not the first that comes to mind. The brand screams luxury cars and SUV's, however AMG keeps the sport side alive with the brand no doubt. It’s like Cadillac trying to stuff a supercharged 6.2L vette engine into a boxy heavy Escalade, does it make it more sporty ? Opinions may vary. So I feel same goes for the AMG line. Is the GLS in the same category as the others for a sporty SUV, I guess in AMG trim maybe, overall however (incl external shape and interior) opinion may vary. Either way, you’re likely right and will add the truck to the list and add a photo of it too.
Completely agree, with long wait lists at the dealer (perhaps not as long as the C8 wait lists). Where I am struggling and where my wife is trying to reason with me, is the cargo carrying space of what that vette SUV will likely offer (or not offer). Right now we can easily load up our 96.8 cu.ft of cargo space in the VW Atlas, and I had to drop some decent coin on coilovers (3.5" drop) and 22" Asanti rims to make it look sporty out of a long rectangular boxy truck. Same can be said for an Escalade I guess. Our game plan was to drop down in size to a Lincoln Aviator, which has a similar concept to the Atlas (3-row, captain chairs), but only 77.7 cu ft of space, while still looking somewhat elegant (think black label + big rims + black roof white body Range style) and offering luxury to boot. It would work, but a lot tighter.
Not me!
Whoever is craving a gas guzzling 6.2L or 5.5L v8 sports car instead of an electric sedan, I guess those would be the people wanting this vette SUV, and from what I see on this forum and many other similar ones like it, I am pretty sure they are not going to have any trouble selling what should be the last of the gas guzzling high performance SUVs, prior to going hybrid or full electric in the coming years. Pretty sure they will move to hybrid with that platform right after launch, just like they are doing with the vette once the full electric version is out. Got another year or so to see how it all plays out.
I'm through with this thread. People wanting a Corvette SUV are plain nuts. Please don't quote this.
Bro stay away from the range rover unless leasing... They are trash after the warranty period... My 2018 Range rover sport td6 is under 100k km but this thing every month has a new issue. Now I think my shocks are starting to go, and it stupid expensive to replace those. Last month I started having issue with my range where the alarm randomly started going off, sometimes during day, sometimes at night. Spent 1400$ to replace some stupid sensor. I personally think the Escalade is a much better buy than the full size range.
. I currently drive a XT5 but to have 2 Vettes in the garage would be great.In the car nut realm, identify me as cashews please. Macadamia would be for Cayenne fans. Every Bolt needs a nut to be complete. Murray, grab a handful and get back to this thread, we need a dissenting voice for balance and fun.
yes I have been warned. Are you the original owner and had the car from new?
Really doubt they will call it a C8
Just like some who didn't approve of the change from round tail lights to the current model several years ago.
