DOHC just needs to die as the marketing of these engines is an illusion that has sold many on a lie. They are weak engines and just because they turn high numbers in HP, that does not make up for the lack of Torque that really get an auto moving. I for one do not see that the weight and complexity of DOHC engines are worth it. GM needs to come out with a marketing message that plays up their strengths as to why people should buy their Pushrod engines.

I doubt a black label edition will really do much for Lincoln at this stage. They need to bring the quality and style with individuality to the auto first.

No I brought EXCITEMENT! To this thread.

WOW, After watching the You Tube video on the car, I love it even more. That is freakin HOT HOT HOT!!! Cadillac has got to deliver on this concept. It will truly put them back as the standard of the world.

Wow a big swing and a miss. I even knew better than that. Anyone missing the wreath then just has no sense of design or style. How can you be looking for emblems with body lines and flow like this. The only taste you have must be in your mouths. Yes one word Elmirage. Time to stop living in the past that many could care less about and break out into a new future. Time to build new cars with new identities that will create the memories as the old ones did. Great name no letters and if they do add any let it be a V. Hyper, did you not notice the V on the back of this car? It is the V edition.

Love it, the over all design and look is great. I love the modern updated logo. I especially love that this is the V model. Best way to make it is do it V style! Interior is nice, but I feel the center console is a bit to much as it isolates the people inside the car. Over all, it will sell as is and I think the design is a home run even after reading Reg input, I have to disagree with his input.

About time, this should have been done back in the 90's when the Internet started to take off.

My research is showing that other than the SAAB 9-2x that used Subarus AWD system they also put the current AWD system from Subaru in the 6000 STE AWD.

I agree with z-06 that I hope Cadillac will let Buick fight MB with the Encore and that GM will give the Encore a step up engine and diesel. Let Cadillac fight MB on the high end.

Caddy had a Black Label CTS-V Coupe. Now this could be custom, but Doug's Northwest Cadillac has a couple of the black edition V coupes. They are hot. I am going to their Caddy Owner party tomorrow so will look to snap some pictures.

Agree with Balthazar, if the underlaying frame is solid and your up for the sheetmetal patching or full replacement along with a decent amount of money that will have to be spent, then it could be an awesome project truck. My guy based on the 3 pictures is it will not be worth it as I see extensive rust on side panels, the whole thing is just so shot. But if you can get it for 300-500 it would be worth it.

I see this as a Failure Before Launch for MB.

I wonder how long before uncle sam says it is a required part and all Americans are just issued passports forcing everyone to be registered.

I think all the auto companies are taking the easy way out rather than building passion into the auto's with real names.

That was a staple of my high school senior year...I love old GnR...got to listen to some. Not to mention that song is one of my standard workout songs. Just gets me pumped up and flying!

OK, So again could they not come up with a better naming convention? GLA so sucks. I am already tired of the stupid letters for Cadillac and especially the moronic BMW 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 series. What about the passion! Back on topic this is an ugly car, like the brown color, but the asian eye's with silver eyebrows and the turned down mouth with a big nose just does nothing for me.

Didn't GM when they did own the interest that Toyota now owns use their AWD system in their own AWD products or at least design wise?

Good Luck BigMac, Keep us updated on how the project goes.

Gun's and Roses, Welcome to the Jungle!

That is sooooo Truuuuuuue! I will admit that I am surprised by the Prius being right behind the BMW for this. But then again, I have come to hate the drivers of BMW and Prius around Seattle and their Self entitled attitude.
