weird thing about the class C's vs A's; despite the massive weight diff (near double) of the A's vs C's of same length, is the A's pull about the same mileage! I'm told it's something about how they manage the torque... I could imagine once up to highway speed, with the momentum thing, it takes about same to very little more energy to maintain that speed... something like that.
& from the driver/(passenger) perspective, sooo much higher visibility & more space in the A's vs C's.
So GSUS brain trust, it's time to throw me ur "last min unforeseens" now b4 I get in there again today to lay deposit, or forever hold ur peace.
