    Stating on your own that "surreal1272 is not a GM hater" in past posts makes it pretty clear, but it's cool no worries everyone needs a buddy, just choose wisely because...ugh. Since Genesis doesn't have a CUV, then yes, that would make sense that they aren't brought up in this post. The pathetic part is it's Hyundai that is comically trying to compete and compare to Cadillac, and it's a poor execution at that. That's why @Drew Dowdell chimed in to agree that they are trying to emulate "riff" on Escalade, he hears from and talks to manufacturer reps in the automotive field to be much more in the know. GM has an XT7 RWD/AWD CUV based off the CT6 Omega platform planned as well, the XT6 is just a filler for now.

    Again trying to change the subject to all vehicles of all makes and models to run from the fact that this precious Hyundai that you love to defend "they are nicer than you think" is ALL Korean. You can't even admit it when the proof is right in front of your face. Drew was being serious because we have serious conversions unlike your long winded rants of "fanboy" stalking BS, talk about a fragile troll ego. 🤣 You definitely need glasses because the XT6 with obvious Cadillac signature design cues front to back that follow the whole Cadillac line looks nothing like an Audi anywhere on it.

    Way left field with what I was talking about. Many fail or refuse to see the difference like Errol Hassol with products like TV's or smart phones where you don't have a choice in where it's made or assembled, which is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking cars, specifically this Hyundai CUV, that's fully made and assembled in Korea, the Japanese do it as well as the Germans obviously. Of course I know parts and pieces to many vehicles are made in other countries, I'm talking about having a choice between a car manufacturer being a Domestic U.S. based manufacturer where the money feeds our economy or a Foreign made and assembled make like this Korean CUV. For example the Chevrolet Corvette (engine and transmission included) that is developed in the U.S. by American engineers and assembled here in Bowling Green, Kentucky and shipped all around the world. So GM engineers have a job and Bowling Green workers have a job as well and people from here and all around the world feed the beast, (U.S. GDP) and subsequently strengthen our economy when they buy one, same can be said with many other GM makes and models as well as Ford and FCA. Where did all the pride in American Made go?! Yes, many things are still made here which is awesome and I for one buy American Made whenever I can! South Korea would still be a third world country like NoKo without our great country feeding them and their economy and they know it.

    Aaaaaaand....this was easy to find. Anything else you need help with Errol Hassol? 😂

    It's Cyborgtruck get it straight! LOL

    It's irrelevant with these tug-of-war games. It's always the truck to break traction first that loses no matter what's under the hood. If they were both 4WD with it engaged and they both regulated the throttle the same then it would come down to which trucks drivetrain breaks first...weakest link.

    Helicopter with the rotor and engine removed, then add wheels?!

    Thanks Drew! You too!

    Yep, Jeep I drove was the same way. Malibu actually felt like it was "shifting" like a long spread 9 spd. or something. Know it was 1.5L because I lifted the hood at the hotel, had to know. Lol

    It's not reliability that sell them. It's that they are cheaper with a longer warranty, that's what sells them and John and Jane Q Public who have no clue what they are buying, just that it's cheaper and has a longer warranty...that they'll need. I never said Cadillac sells as many sedans as the German sedans, but they also lost a lot of their image in the 80's and 90's with horrible GM top brass making terrible decisions. I'm proud of Cadillac as a storied American brand and where they've taken in the last 15+ yrs. Genesis is a work in progress if it even survives, it's been on a lifeline for a few years now, wasn't making it as a Hyundai Genesis. There's a reason they changed the name dropping Hyundai from it.

    Hyundai's don't have the reliability image to even thing about entering a segment that GM reliable fullsize SUV's dominate. Even Ford struggles to compete with the GM SUV's solid offerings. New Exped./Navi caught up, but the loyalty isn't there and EB V6 only in both is a horrible idea need a V8 option. New 2021 fullsize GM triplets will help keep the lead. BMW over MB in my book. Cadillac CTS sold pretty well here (2nd and 3rd Gen.) when comparative sedans were still selling well. Cadillac also has a dedicated factory in China and sell the ATS-L basically a CTS they call an ATS-L (long version) as well as XTS and CT6. They are opening new franchise dealerships in the UAE and Dubai to capture some of that luxury market as well.

    Still apples to oranges comparing this Hyundai to a BOF fullsize Tahoe or Expedition. Unibody CUV's don't tow anywhere near what a BOF SUV can which is why most buy them. So maybe a Traverse fullsize FWD/AWD 3.6 V6 CUV would be a better comparison maybe Buick Enclave if the loaded version. Cyborgtruck is a very rigid skateboard platform to haul all the battery weight, just like any BEV, totally different platform compared to a standard CUV uni-body sub-frame setup, pretty hard to compare them as well. The luxury segment will always need sedans and have buyers, the Livery guys love the larger XTS, CT6, LS, S Class. So you think the Germans won't have to follow what the market dictates, but every other manufacturer will? LOL! They've all sold fewer sedans this year and last. MB is going through a huge restructuring, you know that dude.

    Yep, 1.5T Malibu is a CVT. Drove a 2020 not long ago with National. The CVT although I dont trust them wasn't bad, could hardly tell it wasn't actually shifting, they do a nice job with the shift algorithms to make "shift" smoothly but you can still feel it seemingly shift. Drove a Jeep Patriot rental with a CVT and 4 banger years ago that was Horrible slipping and slamming as you went. Still would go with 2.0T and 9 speed in Mali. if I was in the market. 1.3T 9 spd AWD in this TB.

    It would have to be a BOF truck chassis SUV to actually be able to go after Tahoe and Expedition which Hyundai doesn't have. The one mid size BOF they had years ago Borrego or whatever retarded Hyundai name it was didn't sell well at all because it was a POS. Genesis needs to figure out cars before they can go after CUV's. New G90 is as ugly as they come. Horrible front end design and the back end looks pretty bland. Clearly a mishmash of 4 different design cues of competitors cars.

    Where did I ever say GM builds all of their cars and makes all components here? Again, putting words in someone else's mouth. GM builds some makes in other countries because it's one way of getting away from the greedy UAW here. GM is an American company so the money goes to a company based here to strengthen our U.S. GDP. Get it? So all of this CUV is Korean made and built which all goes to Korea. How does that benefit us here? It doesn't. That was my point that you missed again... Drew D. has even agreed and stated previously that they are targeting Escalade with this CUV, as ridiculous as that seems on their part. Thanks for noticing my post and taking the time to reply. It means the world to me! 😂

    I still pick Marilyn over Rita. Raquel a tie with Marilyn IMO. Ok, back to cars olds stay focused! LOL In her "Daisy Dukes" cutoffs! 👍🏻

    Nice try, but it's an ugly take on the signature Cadillac front LED lightpipes. Like you said @Drew Dowdell trying to emulate Escalade. Nice try Hyun...🤢 So much for being "Assembled in U.S.A." like so many think about many of the foreign cars in this country. 91% Korean parts...Final Assembly Korea. Where are the last 6% of parts from China and they didn't want to show it? 😂 All in support of Korea if one buys it...👎🏻👎🏻

    "What do you have to say about it fuzzy britches?!" - Warden Norton The Shawshank Redemption is one of my fav movies! Good call.

    Yeah, pretty close to new Vantage. DB11 has an updated traditional rear. Love 'em both.
