The GC Overland in that dark green with the saddle brown interior....

That is actually a '70. But cool nonetheless... From that list, I'd go with the Chevy Kingswood 427 wagon or '70 Chrysler 300 Hurst. My favorites, though, aren't on the list...kind of under the radar biggies w/ 429 v8s... '69 Ford XL GT and '69-70 Mercury Marauder X100.

Ask yourself this, and really think it thru. Why doesn't the C63 outsell the C300?

I guess I meant it isn't fast enough to not be able to react if in "regular" driving mode. I understand if you're in an autopilot-like mode you're not going to be 100% conscious of the road. You just aren't. You might be looking out the windshield but you're not just waiting for something to have to react to. And if you are, then why even use the system if you're THAT attentive?

I just think this one looks the coolest. 1969 Oldsmobile Rallye 350

The problem is that people aren't willing to spend what manufacturers are asking for new compact cars. I tested a Cruze hatchback RS Redline edition. It was a great car, but the sticker price was $27k. That is insane for a Cruze, or any Focus that isn't an RS. Civics can crest $30k now. A Trax and a Sonic cost roughly the same to engineer and (labor costs being the same) build. But people will pay more for a Trax than for a Sonic. Chevy could offer rebates on a Trax that bring the price all the way down to the sticker price of a Sonic and still make money on it. It's not that people don't want sedans, it's that manufacturers are making more money on SUVs and fake crossovers.

Hmmmmm. They could merge the GS and IS and get a tweener sedan, and I'd like them to actually do that, because they don't need 2 sedans whether FWD or RWD that are almost the same length.

i think there was a blip that suggested all these lux carmakers needed BMW 3 sized cars to have a legit lineup. Caddy even took the bait. When it comes to brass tacks now, who even buys 3 series sized lux sedans and what brands do they really only look at? I think the original CTS was a perfect entry level caddy and so to reincarnate that as a CT4 would make sense. But if the new CT5 is a little larger, then i am ok with that being Caddy's entry level sedan. What does that have to do with Lexus? To me it means that IS was always a poseur even if it was a good car. The ES was bread and butter but now crossovers may have supplanted ES buyers base. And where does that leave the LS and the GS? To circle the wagons for Caddy and Lexus, they probably could survive on 2 sedans each. CT5 / CT6 and GS / LS. An IS and CT3 will always not sell like an A3/A4, 3/4 series, or C class. I think the other reason these smaller lux sedans proliferated so much last 15 years is the idea that young punks would buy / lease them and they were sort of the new age 'hey look how cool i am' cars. That the younger set due to preference and urban living wanted smaller cars. I don't think that logic carries through to Caddy and lexus like it does BMW and Audi. And maybe never will. And especially if neither is big in Europe.

Cadillac already had an EV and has a Plug in hybrid you can buy today.

494 lb-ft of torque at what is likely a VERY low RPM which is still significantly more than either the C63 or M3. No one is going to care which wheels are driving because they’ll be more worried about keeping them from spinning even with AWD. You really need to get over your horsepower fetish with all of this EV tech coming. Torque is the number to compare now.

The CT6 VSport and XT4 weren’t enough? Cadillac is going to sell the shit out of the XT4, and after a week in a 2.0t Terrain Denali, the XT4 is going to rip.

Today, I took a lunch brake to walk the top of our roof at First and King St. in Seattle. We have two large areas for BBQ, eating, relaxing and enjoying the view. This is facing North East towards the Downtown core. This is facing Northwest over Puget sound.

None of those listed musclecars are 'forgotten'. The Catalina 2+2 actually came out in '64, but the 421 wasn't standard, it was optional. A '64 Cat 2+2 421 would be tops for me.

I love the '69-70 big Fords..

Hahaha, that's funny because that's the picture they even used. That blue and white is beautiful. MORE PICS OF THAT CAR!

I'm curious what they are going to do with that and how they plan to get it out.

Morons are everywhere but these idiots take the cake.

I like this Yukon in black, not a fan of chrome. The Grand Cherokee looks awesome in dark green though.

No help here, I don't know Mandarin, cannot read simplified or traditional.

I love these two shots of the Escala concept: Bond villain arrives at escape hanger: Look how long it is... longer wheelbase than the S-Class... and still distinctly Cadillac.

Agree on CR bias...completely...
