Cadillac has always been a luxury marque to pioneer new technology ie delay wipers, cruise control, more recently Magnaride, TPMS ect. It's where the saying "It rides like a Cadillac" or "It's like a Cadillac" came from.

The CT4 interior is a much cleaner minimalist look and high tech rich for sure, just the small silver trim pieces look much nicer. All the large silver pieces in the A and C Class Merc looks cheap, Nissan has always liked to include the large silver trim pieces as well, looks even cheaper in those of course, the S Class and CT6 do it right with real brushed aluminum and carbon fiber, but you pay big for it.

Cadillac needs to look at what Lincoln is doing for interiors and try and come up with their own formula that doesn't copy them, but puts a Cadillac spin on the idea.

What a "duh" headline.  Of course this was going to be used in other models. Benz is not dumb enough to develop this only for transverse applications.  It will probably even be more powerful in north-south form.

Imagine being so insecure that your manliness is judged by what's under the hood of your Wrangler.....

That is not going to save Fiat.

Nothing will save fiat. they're the next brand to exit the us.  Yes, even before Chrysler does.

That actually looks pretty good... unlike the current model.

Like ford, jeep is another one you don't buy the first year of.

Don't get mud in the electric bits.

Even the 2020 explorer seems cobbled together, on the inside at least. 

Edge is still a good vehicle I just think it really is best off in SEL and Titanium versions. 

Well we know the 2020 Explorer is cobbled together with all the problems they're having with them.

CT4 versus A-Class Dash versus C-Class Dash

I will honestly say the C-Class looks dated to the Cadillac or A-Class and the A-Class leans more towards Tech than Luxury which is what I get out of the CT4. Different strokes for different folks. Older will like the CT4 over the A-Class younger will probably go with the A-Class. The A-Class and C-Class are far more sterile in my opinion than the CT4.

A-Class Interior - Very Sterile and Blah to me.

C-Class interior - All black leaves one with a very sterile look and those cheap plastic circle vents on both do not look good to me.

The A-Class looks terrible in any trim.  The C-Class can look good when it has that "luxury yacht" wood trim, but that's about it.  The Cadillac isn't bad, but it's not special either. It looks kinda techy, like a Lexus, but without going overboard enough to look weird.

Nice! Super Cruise is awesome, tried it driving a CT6 Platinum I had for Cadillac's 24 hr. test drive. It's pretty accurate and a camera on top of the steering column watches your eyes too "see" if you're paying attention. With dark sunglasses on I tested it by looking at my passenger without moving my head and within 5 or 6 seconds it started beeping and flashing lights in the steering wheel and in the head-up display to alert me, so it saw the whites of my eyes through the sunglasses that's pretty badass really. Kinda like a backseat driver though haha! It stays in the lane really well and isn't jerky or slow to react or too fast to react if someone changes lanes in front of you and that was First Gen. SuperCruise early last year. Second Gen. SC for 2020 is suppose to be much more intelligent too. Pretty soon we'll be having conversations with our cars as we drive, something good to vent our frustrations to that doesn't get overemotional 😆

SuperCruise, or something like it, will be standard equipment on many cars by the end of the next decade.

0-60 may be a dumb metric, but is there really any other way to measure off the line feel?

The best ford I've driven recently was a Fusion... and ironically it was a rental

Gah! not sure why you'd want to copy that last one. 

What's that little blue guy?

That's a bit of a stretch

apparently tesla broke the taycan speed record already with their specially built model S

edit: at the 'Ring

plus the 10-speed auto used in these is really good. I drove the XT4 a while back and the torque delivery with the 9-speed was pretty good. 

That wagon is sharp with the escalade tail lights, but we all know that Cadillac styling has moved on from the purely vertical blades these days. 

Not bad for an old volvo.  Can you imagine the ones without the 2.7 though? they must feel so heavy and slow. 

If the issue is fixable. it should be fixed. 

Can someone show me where this supposedly looks like a camaro?

Cadillac isn't done with engines for either of them.

I might. depends on if it's any good

it seems like they're arguing over the amount of healthcare the UAW people should pay.

Good, they need to do this.  Ford has been leaving them in the literal dust in the off-road segment.  Even Ram has that powerwagon which is a different kind of off-roader, but still better than anything Chevy or GMC are fielding.
