Still sticking to the now gone Passat for what could serve me ... and that would include dogs, albeit medium sized ones. I love dogs and like cats.  A friend in New England had a great all black female cat that was an attention whore and warmed up to guests in no time.  He told me she would periodically kill a small bird and bring it to him as a gift, with not much interest in eating it. Meh.  I don't think someone's Lab or Golden would do that, if not in hunting mode with its owner.  All the Labs I knew of growing up just wanted to be in the backyard pool with kids.

An Eldorado revival would be nice, with a V-series Blackwing version w/ the CT5-V Blackwing powertrain... 

@Robert Hall I would so love this Cadillac if it was actually available in EV format. Cadillac Should Revive The Eldorado To Rival Mercedes-Benz, Porsche - Autoblog AI Generated Image - Ice Version AI Generated EV version

It's a Mercedes, did you expect anything else from an overpriced 400V auto. I view most of what Mercedes did for EVs as compliance with minimal effort as to why they are all end of life. Hopefully their new 800V EVs will be truly better. I would take a Porche or Audi EV over Mercedes EV.

A friend of mine has had two VW Golf Rs... loved them, but traded up to a Tiguan since he got married and got two big dogs...
