    As of 3:40 pm today... I rolled this out of the garage and addressed the issue.

    1959-Cadillac-Ghostbusters-1.jpg

    My compliments sir, for choosing a GM vehicle to do so....I will buy Beer (or wine, IIRC you prefer wine to beer) next time I am in Pittsburgh...

    ...and thanks for posting that image...I am feeling better about life and believe it or not seeing that old Cadillac made my day!

    Make that two drinks then...three if you trade in the CRV!

    A question for all: which current (i.e. new) GM vehicle would you buy if money were no object?

     

    I will start: XT5 Premium Luxury or CT6 Platinum.

    I would buy a GMC 4WD pickup in white with a diesel/towing package...

    image.pngimage.png

    ...and I would buy a nice AMERICAN made Airstream trailer to tow behind it...!

    Escalade Platinum or CT6 PHEV 

    Escalade Platinum is an extremely nice vehicle.

    Strangely enough, I ahve seen a bunch of late model Luxury SUV's doing pedestrian jobs lately.

    At my favorite lumber yard, gentleman was loading up a $100,000 plus Range rover like it was a Dodge D150...asked him why he was loading a $100,000 plus SUV like that and the gentleman said he had three of them...the other two were for regular use...

    Helping my friend Steve rebuild his deck, was picking up lumber at Lowes Sunday and a late model Escalade had ladders strapped to the roof and the gentleman driving it was picking up building supplies...politely asked the gentleman why he was using an Escalade in that manor and he replied that it was his wife's vehicle...my wife would string me up for that...!

    Left work today for a medical appointment, dropped back by my office before going to look at a side job...on the way back here, saw a late model Navigator delivering pizza in one of the poorest neighborhoods in town...(no kidding!)

    Or the Exorcist....but I dont like this Hennessey fella! So I would rather give my money to Kevin Morgan.

    Plus, since I dont really like a Camaro, this way, its a Camaro without it looking like one and I get to save face. And yes, the 1000HP Trans Am belongs in my answer as I need to buy a Camaro from the local Chevrolet store for the conversion!!!

    Can you list which ones you think are on the chopping block?  I have my own ideas, but I wonder what yours are.

    Hopefully not the Impala...one of the nicest products GM currently makes.

    Sure..the list does change a bit-helps I hear stuff out of the plants too...

    Impy- D Ham just dropped it (and also sending it to Korea, which didn't work out) Other production is dropping fast....

    Sonic- With the being the middle child here, I hear that the might be moving something else into the plant to build. And they shipped out the "next gen" prototype too......

    Either the XTS or CTS

    Buick Lacrosse

    Not a surprising list. I've made similar predictions.

    XTS is already confirmed as a goner after 2020. 

    CTS is getting a name change on the next refresh, so technically dead, but not really. Platform is another question, I haven't looked into if it is going on Alpha or Omega.

    Lacrosse, if it keeps the name, may live on.... on another platform.

    Impala, no surprise there if its main platform mate, the XTS is gone. 

    Sonic is Gamma... makes sense to build it with other Gammas (Trax / Encore / Spark) on a continent were small cars sell really well, so I would see that moving to Korea.  BUT, that is not the same as being dead in the US. Sonic has been in the top sales slot in its segment more than a few times. 

    I expect Regal production to move to China within 5 years. They have to keep building in that class for China alone.... I expect it to continue to be sold here too... doesn't cost that much to throw a couple Regals on the boat for every 10 Envisions they ship over.

    Cascada has got to be toast. Opel built, out of date, no place to call home, and poor sales.

    Agree with ya...though I already thought the Cascada was dead....think I have seen like one in the last 6 months....

    I think people will be surprised how much may end of Chinese built....

     

    Still waiting for the move of the Cruze to Mexico...unless they want to keep bleeding money there...but At least the Nox/Terrain/Envision will end up there.....

     

    Hoping the "new" be lighter on it's feet, and the sport car it should have become...

     

    Though I hope rumor of a baby caddy will the Sonic's replacement....8)

    • The Trump administration will just speed up the demise of the conventional legacy auto makers. Fine by me. I will happily drive a Chinese EV at this point.  More...  
    • Will be interesting to see how things play out. A compact 2 or 4 door EV pickup is perfect for inner city owners and especially for suburban folks that want to run to Lowe's or Home Depot to get stuff for the house and not have all the maintenance of an ICE mid or full size pickup.  Hyundai has their Santa Cruze EV pickup coming towards the end of this year unless they delay it. It seems the EV Pickup based on the Kia EV9 might also get delayed and Genesis with their Escalade competitor GV90 EV SUV in normal and extended length might also get delayed due to stupidity in DC. As such, I think we are headed into some hard times ahead due to inflation caused by Tariffs as well as the massive lay off's due to over hiring in the tech sector. Will be very interesting to see how this plays out, sadly American Auto industry is not going to be what it has been nor is the Japanese auto industry as both are way behind where China and Korea are at with their 800V EV portfolio. Based on sales this year, American, Japanese and European auto companies are seeing massive decline in auto sales in China where Chinese and Korean auto sales are booming. Incompetent leadership stuck in the 50's and 60's led by IQ73 is going to hurt America big time! Course while there is plenty of stories about Donald Trump being tested in his high school years at the military acadamy with an IQ of 73, nothing to validate if the stories are true or not other than to point out his own extreme nature of proving that he thinks he is the smartest person ever as president. End result is no matter how smart or dumb he may actually be, he is destroying America and the auto industry along with hurting the tech sector. A global economy will not be stopped and at this point, there is no going back to Empire building years.
    • Yeah they are making an EV Hyundai Santa Cruze.  The Santra Cruze starts at $29,500 and they are on pace to sell about 29,000 of them this year.  And that with a gas powertrain that buyers tend to prefer over EV.   This isn't a big volume segment and I imagine Ford is just going to cut into Maverick sales. What Ford should have done is said we are building a Rav4/Model Y competitor and it will be under $30k.  Those are the 2 best selling vehicles in the world, they should have gone right after them and taken their sales. It won't be that bad.  It won't bomb so hard, but also 60 years later people remember the Edsel.  25 years from now no one will remember the Ranchero, much like no one really remembers the Subaru Baja outside of a small cult following.
    • Many other news stories say this is a true compact EV pickup truck that is to be named Ranchero. Everything we know about the 2027 Ford Ranchero EV Ford’s Next EV Pickup Might Bring Back the Ranchero — And It’s Not Just Nostalgia RANCHERO Trademark of Ford Motor Company. Application Number: 019228685 :: Trademark Elite Trademarks https://fordauthority.com/2025/08/ford-ev-pickup-could-be-called-ranchero/ Seems that the Ranchero Trademark is to cover a Ranchero Pickup, Ranchero SUV and Ranchero Car. Very interesting indeed! Also good info, but these folks say it will be a 400V system only which is bummer.
