    WHY WHY WHY??? This weird looking auto I do not see being successful.

    Agreed, I have seen CR with way too much Agenda to hold them as a valid non bias test company of products. Plus I think this tax on the size of the engine is driving this whole small size turbo thing as the companies are logically wanting to have universal engines to sell world wide.

    WOW, Old School looking but nice. Too many better options out there that I would take in place. Good write up, will be interesting to compare this to the new 2014 model.

    I give it credit as it is a nice car, bit small for what I am used to in a SUV and due to being big and not as big as my Grandfathers Brougham but it is big and nice. I see the point your making Drew and compared to the competition it is stiff when I think about it, but then I was expecting I guess even more than what it is and that is a mistake now that I have thought about it. It was never meant to be a bigger version of the CTS. I still think it has a place in the Caddy line up longer than the 3-5 years people thought of as a stop gap measure.

    the XTS is not at all a float ride... not even close. the 300C, S-Class and E-Class are all more floaty than the XTS is. Please don't pre-judge the car if you haven't driven it. At our local Cadillac appreciation party where they had multiple ATS, etc for us to check out ( I posted the photo's in another thread) but I only drove the FWD with my dad and while he loved the car, I still felt it was a bit of a float ride. It could be due to me driving all SUV's and my Trailblazer SS that just rides like being on rails. But to me I thought it was better than old Devill's but still was a float ride in my opinion.

    Why not take a page out of the Train Industry. Just use decent powerfull Electric engines and then have a little 1L Natural Gas generator with a step up transformer to supply the power. Green, Clean and powerful.

    This would sell big time here as Chevy has no subcompact AWD CUV. I know many people who would like this.

    XTS makes sense to keep it around for the retiring baby boomers, livery/fleet sales. But in 5 years people who like a float ride like that will have their final car and I really only see the fleet sales for this ride.

    Interesting, An American Ricer mobile for the youth crowd who does not really care.

    This is a sad excuse and who ever approved this at dodge should be fired. Why the hell would you ever want to advertise your competitors logo on your car?

    WOW, What a dated over priced german sedan. It is amazing that because of the name people will pay for this car that has a 90's interior and a blah exterior. I am not a fan of either the front or back. This car is a fail to me especially the horsepower to torque issue. Not impressed.

    Sadly Dave did not make it from last year but seems all three of his friends did not make it either as GM was a big NO SHOW for the superbowl.

    Hello Moron Politicians, We need a natural and logical next step. Since people talk about the power of energy in a gallon of gas, the logical next step is CNG or Compressed Natural Gas. This is the only thing that would get us off Oil, burns far cleaner (GREEN) and allows people to drive all over without the long wait times of charging. Some day Electric will be the new norm, but now it is inner city only driving and the real bulk of people should move to CNG for superior clean autos.

    I'm not old enough to drive a Buick ................... That type of thinking proves you're too old to drive a Verano T Too Old to drive anything Fun and too young to drive period since we are all tired of those people who putt putt along in the far left lane.

    My son's friend wants an American built Compact or subcompact with AWD. Any thoughts?

    Over all the commercials were not that great this year and where was GM????

    SWEET RIDE!

    Discount these lame egg's and sell them off, dump the eek Assist and put in the Duramax Diesel 2.6L and have a good night of High Mileage with decent tourque. Want performance, then drop the MPG just a bit by going with the 2.9L duramax system. If you want a hybrid system, then start putting the VOLT into a wide range of auto's and enjoy the true GM Version of the Prius family. No reason you cannot have a VOLT 4 door car, Station wagon, Minivan and CUV AWD based on the VOLT system.

    Nice for a cheap toyota. Very sad that you see the plastic wheel wells in the engine bay. Also, Marketing has got to wake up that Horsepower alone will not win the war. Without Torque you cannot move the mass and that engine is starved for Torque in comparison to HP. I agree with dwightlooi that the GM I4 is superior over this engine any day. Over all Mud your getting really good at writing these reviews. Nice Job. Being home sick all week with the crud, I might be missing something, but over all it looks really good.

    It would be fun to do a group comparison of Sub Compact and Compact Pocket rockets from America, Asia and Europe and see who wins.

    In other words, the Impala will finally be catching up to Corolla? As nav systems have come down in price (which many have), OhStar TBT has looked less and less appealing. Especially to those like me who prefer having dynamic maps. Agree, the OnStar Turn by Turn sucks. The systems look like their from the 80's and I am not at all impressed with them. I would rather have a dynamic map on a nice screen nav system with a ladies voice to remind me of up coming changes.

    Your comment is what I hear from Baby Boomers all the time. Some finally see the benefit of having NAV in their auto when they go on road trips, others which is most of the baby boomers do not want to learn. I have found that when you stop learning, you die. Example is uncles who have passed away in their 70's as they just wanted to sit around and watch TV and then I have my Grandparents in their late 90's who keep on learning and pushing. My Grandpa died at 95 due to cancer as he hated doctors. But my Grandma who is 96 was just told by the Cardiologist that we will need to plan to replace her pacemaker battery when she turns 100 and he sees no reason she cannot keep going. Learning and change is grand!

    Perfect reason for the car companies to partner with others that do it better than do it themselves. GM always seems to be 2 yrs behind on updates. I got the latest DVD for both my Trailblazer and Escalade and while it updated many things, there are roads that have been around for the last year plus that are still not showing up on the nav and yet both Bing maps and google maps shows these roads. Course interesting thing is my son on his iPhone with Apple maps does not show the updated HOV lans/ramps. Wonder if Apple and GM use the same supplier for maps.

    Very True, they have Trail Rated setups, but they also need Trail Rated Interiors.
