I understand what you're saying but is it all that different with car shopping? Call 5 different dealers and get 5 different prices? Go to 5 different stores and a pound of chicken breast is 5 different prices...and I'd wager it's all coming from the same or maybe only two different sources. I understand the haggling aspect you're talking about and I understand what you mean.

I would only ever want a battery storage if I had solar panels to truly take advantage of storing electricity.

Not all consumer products have fixed pricing. Walk into a store then go online to Amazon. You'll find varying prices for the same item. Home appliances have random/holiday sales and 0% financing throughout the year as well. Cell phones are the same exact way. The more I think about it, the more I think prices vary more often than you'll find the same exact thing for the same exact price everywhere.

Oh I don't think it's a tech thing. I don't know anybody who looks forward to dealing with those people. Funny enough, the price haggling is probably the only part of the transaction that I don't hate. Them trying to upsell me on every little thing and then proceeding to try and convince me I need all of those upcharges, is what drives me the most nuts.

I can't imagine missing dealing with a salesperson.

I think this one is a decent step in a positive direction though. It doesn't have the typical FWD shape to it, stubby and very sloppy hood, like my MKC. Maybe something is just playing tricks on my eyes though, lol.- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List

Oh yeah, that's 100% what it felt like driving the two of them and why I assumed the GLB had more interior space. I do have to ask then, why'd you rate it(GLB) lower on your interior roominess list than the GLC?- BMW News: BMW Unveils the all-new 3rd Generation X1
I looked at this awhile ago and GLB and GLC are nearly IDENTICAL in exterior dimensions and, if I remember correctly, the GLB had more interior space. We had a loaner GLB then a loaner GLC so I got curious. I was thinking X3 and GLC were the comparable ones as well. Ohhh okay, that makes sense then. Thanks!- BMW News: BMW Unveils the all-new 3rd Generation X1
This is GLC-sized? If so, it's not nearly as small as I would have thought. We've had a loaner GLC and I really liked it. It certainly wasn't big but I didn't think it was necessarily too small either. Has the X1 grown from the original generation(I'd assume so - everything has)? GLC-sized just seems quite a big larger than what I'm picturing for the original X1, which seemed about Ford Focus-sized with a 0.5 inch lift kit. And thanks, I assumed it was still FWD-based but the low, flat hood does a good job of hiding it, in my opinion.- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List
You may have called it, but you need to pay closer attention to the details, cap.- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List
True, but, I never said "I'm done." Also, I was only talking to myself. ...And get called a dickhead for talking to myself...- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List

Well, to be honest, it looks pretty sharp for a really small SUV. I assume it is FWD-based but I may have missed it. If so, I think the relatively flat hood makes those FWD proportions look surprisingly great. I like it but nearly 40k for something this size seems insane to me.- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List

You're not done. You're never done. Yes, and yours is still rated the same as mine, higher than most cars.- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List

Well, it's taller, 65" vs 68", than an Escape/MKC. I'm also not worried about mine but I've been told I should be.- Buick News: Buick Commits to All-Electric Porfolio by 2030, Introduces the Buick Wildcat EV Concept
Unfortunately, GM has already said this won't go into production but some of the key elements will be utilized in future SUVs. "The low fastback coupe won't go into production, but some of its cool design elements will be seen as soon as 2025 on EV and gas Buicks. However, they'll all be SUVs."- Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List

Do go on and show me the education that you have on the topic, because you've shown so much thus far. Yet again, I've never disputed the fact SUVs have a higher risk of rolling over. - BMW News: BMW Unveils the all-new 3rd Generation X1
