    Cadillac Dealers Are Shown The ATS Coupe and New Escalade

    Oh to be a fly on the wall during this meeting. Automotive News reports that at a at a national dealer meeting in Las Vegas last month, General Motors introduced the new ATS Coupe and 2015 Escalade.

    As we reported last week, Cadillac has begun to work on the ATS Coupe. Dealers who were at the meeting say coupe is expected to reach showrooms next spring. Dealers also said that executives hope the new coupe will help bring in a younger crowd. Cadillac is keeping quiet on the powertrain lineup, but Automotive News guesses that ATS Coupe will have the same powertrain lineup as the ATS Sedan.

    As for the 2015 Escalade, dealers say the exterior design is evolutionary Inside sees some dramatic changes as wood and aluminum trim are placed throughout and the third-row will be electronically controlled.

    I am excited for these models, I hope the ATS V is the Twin Turbo V6.

    For the Escalade, I have very high expectations and am looking forward to this SUV. The headroom and comfort for me is the big thing. So see if I can really fit or not since the current Escalade is too small for me to sit in comfortably.

    I have heard that people were pleased with what they saw at the event. Sorry no details could be given other than they were very pleased.

    The Escalade will be a major step up on interior trim and features. This one will set itself apart much more than the last couple gens did.

    I expect that Cadillac will soon offer a Turbo upgrade for the Turbo 4 soon that will boost it to over 300 HP and as much as 340 FT LBS of torque. This would make for a very appealing dealer installed option on a Coupe. $400-500 will get you 50-60 HP.

    I bet the coupe does not have the 2.5 liter, and uses the 2.0T as the base, and the V6 optional. Really that 2.5 should be dropped from the sedan also.

    I am curious if the Escalade interior will be another dressed up Tahoe or if they will do something with it to justify the price tag. The Mercedes GL is the #1 selling SUV in that segment now, the Navigator and Lexus LX570 seem dead in the water, so it is basically a Cadillac vs Mercedes race at this point.

    I wonder how low the volume of the Infiniti QX is...oddly, I see a fair number of them, more than the Lexus LX....my next door neighbor has one..

    Seattle you mainly see MB and Cadillac. In fact the Infinite dealership I suspect has stopped ordering the QX as they have plenty of 2012 models sitting on their lot and not moving. Ugly auto I think. Seattle seems to be fixated on MB, BMW, Cadillac and then Acura. Those are the SUV's you see all the time here.

    Seems that people figured out that the LX570 is a Land Cruiser plus about $8K worth in badging. Really, they're that similar now.

    Navigator should be new in a year or so.

      I finally am home where I reviewed my cell phone and here are the pictures I took at the time to share with my wife on the crazy prices of butter.

      Good basic butter, just crazy the increase in prices since last summer.  Made a mistake as I looked at the box at Costco, it is 2lbs for the Kerrygold butter from Ireland for $17.99 now. Baking with Kerrygold is the best, talk about a flavor explorsion.

      Maple Maga has very quickly quieted down.  Oh...there is an extreme right movement here too.  The diehards are just as die hard as your morons.  But not as abundant.  Our morons are slightly more educated than yours so the ones that actually do think, saw and thought about what is what and learned the consequences of being willfully ignorant and stupid through the actions of Trump, through the inactions of decent Americans, and learned very quickly that the extreme right movement is just not good.  Like I said though, the maple maga movement does exist. And they are just as a lost cause as your maga movement.  Problem is though that your maga movement is holding the world hostage. It be OK if it were only their own demise, but they are bringing the whole planet down. At least in the short term.  In the long term, the US will be all alone when all of this is over. Whenever that will be.  Even its life long partner in Canada has mostly said to move on from the US.  Not a good thing for America.

      Well, the Trump regime (and American dairy farmers) wants American dairy to enter the Canadian market so he put a big tariff on Canadian dairy and they also want us to eliminate our quotas to allow the American dairy farmers to flood our market with your dairy.  I guess that would help your market with dairy prices as that would mean Canadian dairy to be wiped out completely out of existence.   Its simple though, stop over producing milk in your US market and then maybe the prices would just stabilize in your market. Because their is an over production of milk from American dairy farmers that they have to destroy millions of gallons of milk...     Having production quotas might make prices slightly more expensive, but no where near to what you guys are experiencing now, it does make for a more predictable outcome in how much a dairy farmer will sell, how much he needs to sell, how many workers he needs etc, and will definitely eliminate over supply and price fluctuations due to over supply.   Also, a dairy farmer need not hire people to destroy over produced milk.  No profit in that to spend money on throwing out your supply... But hey, yet another crappy American ideology that your friendly neighbor to the north has to contend with and deal with.  Canada is married to a peaked in high school drop-out, raggedy assed prostitute who lies, steals, cheats and has no respect for itself and is forced to continue to be abused  bonded in holy matrimony because America  allow  in God they trust and God does not allow divorce.  Canada is sooooooo ready for divorce and there are many suitors around, but Canada and all her suitors know how much of a jealous psychopath the US is and are trying to navigate through it all without any major consequences to the children (the trade routes that the US begat and forged with the world)    The world is afraid that the US will go bat shyte crazy like Glen Close in fatal attraction and Canada will find its pet rabbbit in a stew...      Canadians are keeping their ELBOWS UP and avoiding the US. Quite frankly....PHOQUE the US!!!
