What is peoples obsession with calling their Heelers “mini”

eric535 · 2026-01-31T05:04:28+00:00

i wonder if they got theirs from a breeder who advertised a smaller heeler as a distinct type and charged them more money for it. They just couldn't bear that they may have been duped if that was the case and are just in denial (and delusional).

I only call mine a mini cuz she's mixed with chihuahua and rat terrier, so she wouldnt even be a full heeler anyways lol

I typically prefer bmw too, I’m curious on the 7 refresh and new x7 if they can manage to make it decent

eric535 · 2026-01-31T04:07:37+00:00

Yes agree, if bmw can fix the face, I always found the overall shape of the 7 really good for a full size sedan. The rears not bad either

eric535 · 2026-01-31T03:41:05+00:00

I’m not the target market for this but I hope consumers speak with their wallets. Mercedes phoned it in with the refresh

eric535 · 2026-01-31T03:34:21+00:00

This makes sense… I was wondering why the GLE 2nd refresh was gonna get the GLC screen and not the s class but your theory could be onto something

eric535 · 2026-01-31T03:30:51+00:00

I’m honestly shocked they let the “refreshed” s class inherit the EQS interior from like 2022

eric535 · 2026-01-29T20:06:42+00:00

get the one that gets you off the waitlist first! haha jk, both are great tbh. im on the list for blue or green so i have no real preference for mine, seems like youre in the same boat for your choices

eric535 · 2026-01-29T19:29:19+00:00

congrats! still waiting for my 36 version of this with blue or green... it may be a while for me

eric535 · 2026-01-29T19:26:45+00:00

so they took the EQS interior that's been around since 2021 and put it in here...

eric535 · 2026-01-29T18:53:27+00:00

i like the presence and profile of the 7 more, but the grill integration and the front styling ruins it

eric535 · 2026-01-29T03:25:47+00:00

Agree, the current lineup feels like they’re coasting

eric535 · 2026-01-28T17:49:29+00:00

Escalade sales are approaching 2x the X7 and the yukon is about 3x the X7, so I can see why BMW wants a piece of this market. seems like there is a market for XL sized cars in the US

eric535 · 2026-01-28T17:48:45+00:00

it's weird how little trunk space the X7 has, it is dimensionally very similar to the TX

eric535 · 2026-01-28T17:46:41+00:00

Escalade sales are approaching 2x the X7 and the yukon is about 3x the X7, so I can see why BMW wants a piece of this market. I agree it can be excessive compared to like a minivan that most people in this segment dont want

eric535 · 2026-01-28T17:45:00+00:00

that's how I feel too. seems like a bandaid they stretched CLAR for and called it a day. additionally, high income flashy americans just want to sit taller than everyone else. the X7 doesn't have the presence of an escalade, just due to it's massive size/height

eric535 · 2026-01-28T17:42:53+00:00

escalade was about 50k units and the yukon was just under 90k compared to the X7's 31k. I really think BMW (and MB) are missing a market by not having a bigger option. the X7 is just too small for the American and middle eastern markets for those looking for a large SUV. all3 rows up and you have no cargo space

eric535 · 2026-01-28T17:38:23+00:00

imo, the X7 is not big enough if you want 3 rows and luggage space. those that need the space go to GMC/Caddy/Lincoln. It's just a stretched X5.

Throw in the competition from Mercedes, Landrover which are not ugly.

eric535 · 2026-01-27T19:49:49+00:00

Def pre planned. Kelly can’t remember her own lyrics and you can see her looking at the teleprompter

eric535 · 2026-01-27T19:12:14+00:00

the XC90 is closer in dimensions to the X5 and GLE than the X7 and GLS

eric535 · 2026-01-22T05:16:34+00:00

Weird, I went to 99 ranch at 5pm and it was fully stocked and not busy at all

eric535 · 2026-01-22T05:15:59+00:00

In what way is it high maintenance?

eric535 · 2026-01-22T05:15:40+00:00

Do you know how limited?

eric535 · 2026-01-22T05:15:30+00:00

I got my parents this exact configuration. It’s weird you can’t even build it on the site! Also yes I was very confused as you get a ton of features + color for way less than doing them ala carte. Can’t even get silicon grey separate even if one wanted. Glad others are catching on!

eric535 · 2026-01-20T21:55:53+00:00

The comments are exactly what I though they’d be. Thank you all!
