Pretty much the only Packard reboot I've found I've liked :

Never understood this BS about backseat or gunslit windows.. Its silly.. when comparing it to the Mustang... which has an unusable backseat and the window visibility is not much better. Best thing for people complaining about such things is to buy an SUV. Cause in truth.. with exception to the backseat thing.. the Challenger isn't much better in terms of visibility. Car enthusiasts have become BORING. The Camaro is competing also with the Vette to a degree. Ford has no competitor to the Mustang.. and Dodge definitely doesn't. U wanna see sales jump?? Chevy should thumb its nose at the enthusiasts... and make a Camaro Sedan

Cadillac dealer had a couple new XT4's! Couldn't drive, and the particular ones they had were more pricey. But I sat in the one and got some pics. I like that it has back some of the Art and Science Edginess and more youthful swagger to it. The cabin in the front row is a very nice width for a compact, the seats way very comfy, and the ergonomics of the screen, wheel, shifter, and especially the selector wheel for the screen were very well thought out. Rear leg room depends on how the front seat is set. For a 'compact' its adequate space. But the rear row has a short seat back, and if the front seat is back far, then leg room for taller folks is tight. Rear backrest i don't think reclines either. Overall i would say for driver and passenger there is not really space issues. Cargo hold is small, but your impression of the size of the cargo area is consistent with the published cargo area numbers. This is a nice size vehicle for a single person, empty nester, urbanites, people who don't need or want too huge a vehicle to park. I anticipate it will be a nice drive. Looking in and out the vehicle seems pretty nice. Kinda seems to make the XT5 feel moldy and crusty.

What option package is that on the Escape, with the onboard bathroom?

Used current body CTS are out there for good prices. The XT5 feels a bit old timer to me. I bet the 19 CT6 with the revised shifter and CUE knob, and v8 option motor would be truly badass.

Indeed, a shiny red rocket

I have to agree with SMK on the badge thing. Genesis really doesn't have the cache as Audi, BMW, Mercedes.. But I need to point out that Genesis has only been around for a few years now. It takes time for an image to be built. This isn't being help by the mess the brand finds itself in at the moment as they're to cut down the number of dealers in the U.S. to help try to make the brans more exclusive. And to explain why Genesis hasn't doing so well in the sales charts in the past couple of months, Emphasis mine

At least other interior colors are fairly available The sense of black wasn’t overly overwhelming So many cars are all black inside these days (that was why I was so glad to take another regal sportback test drive with the tan interior yesterday!) the black inside the XT4 is more like a ‘really dark gray’ the rear seat with the front in ghetto style for large me, was tight in the back. When I readjusted the front seat for a normal person or a chica I had pretty good knee clearance for fat ass me. Its larger than an encore in the back. Larger than an ATS. Maybe even comparable to the CTS. Tighter for leg room and a more upright backrest than a Terrain. Width wise I think it feels wider than an Equinox. I think the CGI’s and legroom numbers may be a bit misleading. It’s probably more comfy than an Escape in the back. Not sure about how it compares to say, a Jeep Compass. This would be a cool ocnblu ride though. Lots of swagger.

Works well in this case.....

Thinking Alfa, as crazy as it sounds.....

Yup, pretty spot on.
