WHAT?! Porsche Cayenne Coming With A Diesel In 2012

The Jeep is very easy to park... shorter wheelbase (114.8 in) and overall length than the Caddy (16 inches shorter)...and it's shorter than a typical late model Accord or Camry.   The big mirrors and back up camera help overcome the thick pillars and small windows.  My old GC was even easier, it was 8 inches shorter w/  larger side windows.. The Caddy averages about 27-30 mpg on flat roads w/ cruise control set around 70...though lower on I-77 through WV and VA with lot of mountains and passing of slow moving trucks.. 

What is harder to park in historic city centers - your Jeep Grand Cherokee or your Cadillac? What kind of mileage is your Cadillac getting in near-perfect, long trip highway conditions?

Sixty is feels like I plowed the back forty when I roll out of bed in the morning. Rolled 90 plus miles on my bike last week, 52 of them yesterday against one hell of a wind rolling west out of Columbus. Knees....we don't need no stinkin knees.... It is great just traveling places and enjoying them, doing a LOT of that. At some point, it will be just me, my stereo, and a book. Apple and pumpkin are my favorites. 

Heh heh..I'm 55.. can't believe 60 is so close.  After 25+ years of mostly driving Grand Cherokees, I do enjoy driving my Cadillac sedan.  But it is a handful in tight parking lots due to the overall length, long wheelbase and AWD.   Had to make a few 25 point turns in tight parking lots in Beaufort, SC and Savannah GA on my vacation....as I was driving around those cities with their colonial-era narrow streets I was wondering what it was like in the 60s-80s with the huge and downsized but still huge B-bodies, C-bodies that were common then... a lot more scratched bumpers and door dings then, I suppose.  I have no idea how people park full size double cab/crew cab pickups in cities, but I see a lot of it.

Saw that California is approaching $10 a gallon in the major cities, high 8 to 9 elsewhere, at this point, EVs are going to come out winning even with the higher cost. Course with all the EVs coming off lease and like many of my coworkers are are picking up Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 at roughly 40% of the original MSRP, the price of electrical rates with the car rate and low mileage on the EVs, makes these 300 mile EVs a deal imho. Agree, News was covering the near $10 a gallon in California, and I see tonight NY is hitting the upper $8, so EVs are going to really come out ahead, especially when one buys a certified pre-owned lease return imho.
