A local dealer has one, white also with like 38k miles for $69k. I looked at a 2020 CT6 Platinum w/ the 3.6 for $55k w/ 35k miles. Also looked at a 2019 CT6 Sport (I think that was the trim level?--didn't have the chrome window trim).., I didn't realize how low the production numbers for 2019 and 2020 CT6 in all specs were, like 7500 in 2019 and 3600 in 2020...

WOW, Rare 2020 Cadillac CT6 Blackwing edition with only 18,000 miles @ Brotherton Cadillac NW Shoreline. Twin Turbo V8. The only hard part is the $80,519.14 asking price for a 4 year old auto. https://buy.brothertoncadillacnw.com/shopping/inventory/vehicle/CT6-V/2020?client=T3_CPO_VS[…]ck=DealerStock&vinSlug=1G6KW5RJ9LU103644&zipCode=97201

I.C.E. It's going to be slightly used. I'm thinking Opel, SEAT, VW, and maybe some French models ... mostly ones I've already rented at some point. There's enough to adjust to across so many realms that this isn't going to be an arena where I want to experiment, especially with so many things on my plate.

Amazing. Today marks 5 months of not owning a vehicle. I use a cheap monthly transit pass. It goes most everywhere I need to go. I'm saving a lot of coin. For one, I'm going to be going back and forth a bit this year. Then, I really want to do the research before making an auto purchase, especially since I foresee it being a lightly used vehicle in this fairly different context.

I'm grouping the next two AI prompts together since they ended up similar. I think in this case, the AI nailed it with each one. This prompt was for a 2025 Lincoln Town Car. I think it's pretty natural to expect an extended length updated Continental. 7 out of 10 (only because it's not that imaginative over the existing car) I like what it did with the trunk and rear glass line here. It gives great headroom to the rear occupants without doing the formal upright style of the old Town Car. I'm betting that the trunk would need to open in two pieces like the Audi A7. 8 out of 10. Now THIS is a 2025 Town Car Limo. That would look absolutely badass pulling up to the Oscars in. I could see some highly esteemed actresses stepping out onto the red carpet. 11 out of 10. The next prompt was for a 2025 Lincoln Mark 9, and again, I think the AI got it right.l I like that it kept most of the size of the Continental. The Mark 9 was always a personal luxury coupe and never meant to be a sports car. This looks like it would come straight from Lincoln design. I bet the rear quarter doors are suicide style too. 10/10 I like this evolution on the grille. It's a bit of the current grille with a bit of throwback to the split grille of 15 years ago. 10/10 This is a bit too big for a coupe, and I'm not thrilled with that grille, but it could be massaged into something workable. 7 out of 10.

Next up, an AI 2025 Buick Riviera. What's funny about this is that I used two different AI tools, but with the exception of the retro example, both Davinchi and CoPilot seem to agree pretty closely on what the front end should look like. This looks Alpha platform based, but on the larger CTS/CT5 wheelbase. This feels more appropriate than the Alpha-based Toronado above. Aside from the absurd concept-car wheels, I could see something like this being produced. I have mix feelings about the trunk, but if it was modded into the pointed shape from the 60s, I could see it. 8 out of 10. Another coupe with a half door. Could AI be telling us how we'll get coupes back in an EV age? It did get the sweep spear in. 8 out of 10 Cartoonish. This is the first CoPilot generated image. But there's something about the grille and lights that speaks to me. 6 out of 10. Another very cartoonish one from CoPilot, but all the right elements are there, 7 out of 10.
