earthmover Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I guess that's it. The "Born Ready" slogan and redesigned bulldog and logo? I was expecting more at least new truck design or something. Edited March 5, 2014 by earthmover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ws721 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just a little off topic but what does the Scania have to do with Mack? Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hopefully nothing; they were just bought by Volkswagen.No, Scania has not been purchased by Volkswagen. They have made an offer to acquire all shares, but the remaining shareholders have rejected it.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/34786-scania-owners-express-doubts-over-vws-92-billion-bid/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So where is the new side loader garbage truck. Any sightings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstaples Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'll give Scania some credit. It takes big balls to put 730HP to the ground with one rearend. For the record I like the new logo.... the most recent one with the oval and all the extra swishy bulls*&% sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 I heard rumours VW was looking at International? Wouldn't bother me. I own VW's and they are stone reliable. Traded my last Ford off for another new VW. My bank account likes me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDiesel Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 That wouldn't shock me, they are in a weak spot right now. Or maybe Cat will buy them and make all the truck they could dream of. Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Star 4900.The grass isn't any greener on the other side my friends.That's a Mercedes not a US product! Lol, they're all gonna have issues, you can't stick all the extra emissions and govt compliance crap on a truck and not have issues, not to mention all the new technology that truck makers think we want in our trucks. I don't know about everybody else but a mechanical engine with a manual transmission and std camelback rears is good for me, I don't need a driver information center or GPS telemetry to haul a load.

Bullheaded Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 True, owned my Mercedes, but built in USA. And actually, the Detroit DD15 is awesome. No problems at all and performs very good. All the problems are with the build quality of the truck. Even funnier is I had pics and posts on the Star owners site and then when I posted all the problems I suddenly disappeared LOL. Guess they don't like bad advertising, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41180 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ive heard stories from die hard Western star guys that the newer ones are not as well constructed as the older ones. They say the hoods crack and the doors shells are paper thin. I know the older stars were tough trucks we had a couple . But like every thing else now days they cheapened them up.
