I keep seeing Continentals around me.  Since I can't get a CT6 into my driveway, I should put a Conty on my shopping list instead. 

Back seat is so tight, anyone 6' tall or taller in your household will find it hard to get into and out of.

You exaggerate like none-other.

Nope, the back seat is not spacious for a full size sedan. Head room especially is below average when I think of what they were in the past and even now.

The XT4 feels small as my Encore inside.

The Continental seems to hold its value better than the CT6 for some reason.  I can't find as good of a deal on a Conti as I can on a CT6.  But that CT6 wheelbase is so long that the Caddy will high-center at the top of my driveway.

That seems odd because with low sales you'd think that means low demand as well.. I guess a lot of people just refused to pay MSRP for it. 

That's a bummer you literally can't fit the Caddy in your driveway.

My Toronado scrapes the exhaust if I don't exit the driveway at an angle.   Oh well, time for a new house. :smilewide:

With my tiny garage and the stairs of the split level, I think I'm going to be looking for a new house sooner than later...more garage space and a single story ranch...

I really like this Rambler with Mother-in-law suite.

Have to say, pretty nice for a flat rambler which is awesome to not deal with steps.

Why can't you get a CT6 in your driveway?

Oh never mind I read about the low scraping.  Probably the CT6 should have height adjustable suspension.

The driveway is so steep and the wheelbase of the car is so long that it will bottom out at the top of the driveway where it goes from angled to horizontal.  

I've tried with a loaner from Cadillac last year.

I love the genius of Ford management, the Fusion is their #3 seller and up 10% for the year while the brand overall is down.  But kill the Fusion.  Once you leave a segment it is almost impossible to go back in.  I think someone at Ford read the Rick Wagoner "cut your way to profitability" playbook and thought it was a good idea.

So an A8, 7-series or E-class or S-class which all have adjustable height suspension is the answer.

Sure, and they all have horrid enough depreciation to make it a feasible purchase.

The E-Class could probably make it without a height adjustable suspension though, the 300C and CTS do.

The Fusion is up because they are basically sire selling them. Aside from that, they were not as profit heavy as their CUVs and not in as much demand overall, hence going bye bye. Quit trying to throw out phantom criticism when the reasons for it going away were pretty obvious.

Corrected above.

That's a CUV? That looks lower and smaller like a "typical" hatchback. 

Evolution...a car-like CUV, almost a 'wagon'.   Reminds me of the Venza profile.

I would assume the Mach E EV will be similar to this...I think we will see more of these type of wagonish CUVs coming to replace sedans.. trans genre vehicles that are car like, and CUV like...maybe the Venza was too early.

Ford has stated that "the car silhouette is changing", it may very well be that they just make a bunch of tall wagons and hatches to replace their current car lineup. A Fusion in the vein of an Outback would probably do well.

And that seems to make sense. We want things that are slightly less car-like for the ease of getting in and out of and having a hatch for added utility and moving slightly away from the standard sedan body style is pretty much all that is.

I don't think the Subaru Crosstreck sells 2 million units a year. 

Did a respectable 144K plus last year in North America.

Quite handsome I have to say, Europe only though (Ford Mondeo Active)

I'm not doubting the respectable sales numbers. I don't think that is exactly the style of vehicle to light the sales charts on fire. 

It may not do in volume what the current Fusion does, but it will likely do it at a higher ATP.

A Ford Focus and Ford Escape cost about the same to engineer and build, but the Ford Escape can cost $10k more for the same level of features and still sell.

Love this auto's style, just put on in-wheel hub motors and a proper 150 kWh battery pack and you have one hell of a Frunk and it will be ready to go! :D
