Ok...now that I have resolved to stop hating Ford I have enough hate for the Patriots and the cowboys.

So many 2 doors. :D

You didn't use the <sarcasm> </sarcasm> tags in your post.. .;)

I wanted to make a funny. But I wrote what I wrote. (but now edited. only the dancing dude is still alive in that post. I tried for it to be funny. But alas, it was not funny. I tried and failed. I am at your mercy now. ?

I dedicate this to all of you. Just before the Superbowl. I saw this browsing on Youtube and I figured...why not post it. Tom Brady...you are THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! I hope you win another!!!!

And now we get to see the eCOPO destroy ICE at the Strip with an Awesome Wheelie to boot! Chevrolet is now Racing the eCOPO. You will never hear it coming or going! The person who shot the video claimed it was only running at 80 percent of its max power as it achieved a 10.142-second quarter-mile time at 130.85 miles per hour.

Looks like quite the fun drive!!!

Weather getting a bit better...was out and about this morning and saw a grubby, dented salt-encrusted red Tesla Model S coming out of the McDonalds drive thru...funny to see a Tesla driven like any other winter beater. The rear bumper fascia was cracked.

DRIVEN: 2016 Cadillac CT6 Luxury 3.6 AWD (Used vehicle review) originally 63k msrp. HIGHS: Yup, this is my type of car, I got in and felt right at home. To heck with crossovers! Surprisingly I had a very positive vibe of the interior and it's quality. Sure it may not 100% match some Germans but honestly it was fine in the front and quite honestly better than what a lot of Cadillacs have had for interiors in the last 20-30 years. And a quiet interior. Hushed for road noise, like a luxury brand should be....an obvious upgrade vs. non luxury marques. And so comfortable! Seats were a glove and the cockpit around me was there just for me. I liked the location of controls, including the touchscreen. There are many times where I malign the corporate GM 3.6 motor, but it does quite an admirable job moving this physically big car. For some reason, on the CTS and this, the 3.6 seems nicely refined, and is smooth and powerful, where other GM vehicles it does not impress like this (in lower priced trims). Transmission was a rock star too. Always shifted up or down as needed, kicked in fast when asked, no drama, very smooth. How does such a big car with such a long wheelbase feel like a mid size car? It doesn't feel heavy and ponderous in any way (it's a light car, actually). And it's fairly nimble, turns tightly. Outward visibility, you see a short hood, and looking out the rear view mirror, the car seems shorter than it is as well. Ride was just the sweet spot balance of cushy and firm for most driving. I believe it was in standard mode, not sport. The steering had nice heft, but not too much. Steering quickness about right for most of the time also. I'd have no problem with a quicker rack in a sport model, but otherwise this was great. Bigger trunk than I thought. We know the back seat is big also. To be honest, I actually liked the old T-bar style shifter just fine. Car had 60+ thou miles but honestly felt brand new. Just get in and (super)cruise. Find an open road and gaze at the landscape in front of you. Racking up miles in this thing would be such a treat. Isn't this what Cadillac is supposed to be? LOWS: So the 3.6 is a good lower trim motor. Some folks may wish for more low end torque at times (I'm reaching here), but the 3.0 twin turbo would be a nice upgrade you may want for sure if you invest a lot of $$$ in this car. The mousepad on the console is replaced for 2019. I suppose this is an improvement. Rear seat doesn't fold to expand the trunk (No bookcase hauling for mom). I kept reaching for power seat controls on the side of the seat. I actually question if having them on the door is preferred or not by most people. Ok, admittedly in some ways, inside and out, the styling could be deemed tepid, particularly for a luxury brand (I don't think so, but for the CT6 I do think it depends on colors, too). Cadillac's whole marketing and sales plan for the CT6 has been a failure, trims, packages, options, pricing. I get that the public wants crossovers now, but big spacious sedans just like this is how people think of Cadillac. Why not go all in and really get this vehicle into the hands of buyers? This is the DTS replacement people really deserved to have 8 years ago. It's like Cadillac (or GM) really didn't even want to make and sell this vehicle. SUMMARY: From the moment I got in the car, I knew this was my spirit animal. This is the Cadillac I recall growing up with, modernized. I was just giddy to actually get to drive one of these things, finally. I was hoping to be able to drive a 3.0 twin turbo six, but the 3.6 equipped CT6 was just fine. I don't understand how Cadillac botched this. This is just what everyone still sort of wants to believe Cadillac is. Big long, comfy, cruising vessel. The chassis and engineering to me are the rock stars here, because like I mentioned above.... this is a LARGE car that feels like a solid mid size car when you are driving it. Man, I would love to drive this everyday. And GM could,.....COULD really leverage this platform. The oft rumored CT7, or Escala, I can totally see now taking this platform and making a liftback A7 like vehicle with this. Wow, that would be cool. But that would be too risky for Cadillac, wouldn't it. Instead we get the XT6, which admittedly will sell because it has 3 rows. And why not replace the current Buick LaCrosse with a new LaCrosse (AVENIR?) built on this chassis? I bet that's what at one time the plan was for Buick, even if only for the moment. If a badge engineered Buick helped pay for this chassis to continue, I'd be all for it. I honestly do even believe with the right four cylinder in it, this car would be great with just a four cylinder (the 2016-2018 has the old 2.0, which is much faster than the new motor for 2019). I know it has the four cylidner now, and so I would not discourage someone who may find a good used one and doesn't need more than rear wheel drive, take a look you may be surprised. Rather than a Kia K900.? srsly. Since the CT6 has a stay of execution, and with the new Blackwing v8 coming on, let's hope we continue to see investment in this car and this platform for Cadillac. It should be the soul of Cadillac, in a time where it can't. Enjoy the ride while its still available. At least all those Cadillac Edge sales (um, XT5 I mean) keep money in the till and the lights on at the Cadillac dealer so they can keep enough space for the CT6's buried in the corner. Cadillac please take baby out of the corner.

Not quite. The 86 would be a Subaru if the 86 and the siblings would have a Subaru boxer under the hood. Im perfectly fine with the engine choice just to be clear, but as is, the Toyobarus are in fact, more vanilla Toyota then anything else. PS: I like very much the Toyobarus. A tad small for my tastes, but I like a lot. I would love if Subaru boxer in the BRZ, but hey, you cant always get what you want. I think Jagger said that once... ?

@A Horse With No Name There is a NEW 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback you can afford now!

LOL Like..in the video. He IS from California, you know. I wanna know, how many can this guy actually win. Its fantastic what we are witnessing with Tom Brady. I grew up watching and loving Dan Marino with the Dolphins (I was always a Cowboys fan though.) I was mesmerized with Joe Montana. HE was the greatest before Brady. Then Steve Young comes along and I liked him. Of course Troy was my favorite though Then there was John Elway and his late comebacks. Fascinating to watch on a Monday night. But 'twas Joe Montana to Jerry Rice or Steve Young to Jerry Rice that captured my heart and I thought Id never see that again. (Minus the 3 Superbowls of the Dallas Cowboys in the early 1990s. Those were great. HOW 'BOUT 'DEM COWBOYS!!!) ? Until Tom Brady came along... That Superbowl victory a couple of years ago, the one you mentioned. It might have been heartbreaking for many fans, like youself, but if you are a fan of the game, it was just...just...pure magic to see him work. And THAT is why I wanna see how many can this guy,with Belichik, win... I mean, its rare these kinds of things. And when they do happen, I wanna ride that ride as long as we can. I wanna see how far they can go before it really, trully ends. THAT plus what is going on in Boston the last 20 years is just incredible too. The Red Sox have 3 World Series or so, the Celtics have 1 or 2 Championships, the Patriots have, Ive lost count...the Bruins have 1 Stanley Cup. And many finals appearances coming in 2nd place. Gimme the keys to the cah. Im going to Bahsten to pahk in Hahved Yahd. Gonna eat some clam chowdah while Im at it!!! I HATE the Red Sox. I dont like the Patriots all that much. Im indifferent to basketball so I really dont care for the Celtics... I am a Bruins fan though as I HATE Les Canadiens. Proud of my citiy's 27 or so Stanley Cups, 24 of them belonging to the Habs, but yeah... To see Brady and Boston do this...is just great in my eyes! He IS from California... He is just the quarterback you ?. (Just to quote the video) ( a beautiful Dallas Cowboy GIF...just for you!!!)

Now that I have the bloody internet back, I can give my answer. I would either go an Audi S3 Prestige or Genesis G70 2.0T Prestige.

Uhm, no. Not when they're playing my hometown team! I also watched them beat Atlanta, a place I lived for a couple of years while in my 20s, and I believe the Falcons had never won a Super Bowl and were last there in 1999. The Falcons appeared to have the upper hand. They then lost it in the craziest of overtime upsets. I left during the overtime and found out that everything changed while I had stepped into a store to get some groceries. That was demoralizing. Someone else's turn. Like Los Angeles's turn. The only thing I know for certain is that I will be eating pizza tomorrow night.

More like 1959. Renault Dauphine electric conversion. Henney Kilowatt was one such conversion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henney_Kilowatt

Oh boy, can't wait. This is a recent post by them, right? Car seems a bit anachronistic for 2019.

i may be open to considering slumming on one of those 400 horse MKZ v6 turbos, once those get cheap.... the interior on those is so cheap. you expect cheap on a Fusion, Lincolns are getting better but the MKZ still has the old crud

From 1969.

until i drove it.

I should add that with all big players shuffling full size RWD sedans from their mortal coils (looking at you Chevrolet SS), Kia is in a unique position to seize the RWD sedan market. They only really have the Charger/300 as their competition and the Stinger is leaps and bounds better than those two, from a modern standpoint. They are doing this while undercutting the price of the much pricier and overhyped Germans (for the most part). If the car is allowed to progress in its natural growth cycle (get a few generations under its belt), it will be a top notch ride and I never thought I would have said that about any Kia.

For 45-50K option to this Stinger GT1 AWD I would get the following: 2018 Dodge Durango GT Rallye AWD with In-Violet Clear-Coat paint job and the Burnished Bronze Aluminum Wheels. You can also get Gloss black rims or their Hyper Black rims which to me look more like a Matte black color.

This is almost hot enough to make me take back every negative comment I have made about Ford...this is utterly amazing.

Wait. Tesla is charging $8000 for a measly 25 more mile range?? That's insane. - - - - - Not sure why the new 'system' is even more convoluted, rather than simpler. And why not 'P100LM'?

Does anyone else who looked at the picture under the hood with the yellow cables think back to the Accell spark plug cables in the 70's? and the 800volt battery pack has to be code for a V8 package Z/...?

12.2 mpg. are you sure you didn’t mean 21.2 mpg??? like 12.2 mpg. ?

That is one of the GM Premium upgraded packages you have to pay for. Sadly not everyone buys the upgrades.
