    Makes sense, so then if the charge is not crazy, a Nissan Armada owner could buy the updated flash and bring their Armada to a QX80 level of performance. I like that, sleeper level.

    Over all I agree with you that Cadillac has really upped their quality, but as late, as an Escalade ESV owner who gets all his service done at my local dealership, the newest Escalades have lost out to the last couple generations in terms of comfort and luxury especially in the seat department. The thin cardboard hard seats do not make for a road trip worth auto. My sales rep after selling me a total of 5 Cadillac's and 1 Hummer over the last 18 years has not got me to trade in my Platinum edition Escalade ESV as the current ones suck in the seats area. Had to many of them as free loaners and used one for a road trip where my comfort was anything but comfortable after 150 miles. Cadillac is lacking in the interior style and comfort of a luxury brand compared to the current release of the Navigator. Cadillac needs to retain the quality they have but seriously upgrade their interiors to compete at the proper luxury level. I also think Cadillac needs to interior options for their seats. If you only ever drive local short trips and you like a more short trip spirited driving seat, they needs to have those thin seats, but for those of us that love to take our Slades on the road seeing North America, they needs a better supported / comfortable chair.

    Wish I could fit into a Corvette to drive one as I would love too. Have to settle for my Corvette based Trailblazer SS AWD which has had many spirited triple digits drives!

    ? Soooooooooooooooooo Wonder why the US gets less HP / Torque? Emissions? Wonder how hard it would be to get the tune for the middle east or now thinking on this probably could get a better tune from a 3rd party chip company. I agree with @Potluck This is much better looking than the current version. @Drew Dowdell Was there not a very dark tease image of the next Titan that looks like this?

    Nice looking interior, better than most of what the German auto companies are doing.

    Looks like the front end of the new Titan pickup image they released.

    Death Wobble is a request free fix? WRONG ANSWER FCA! ? Improper Frame Welds reminds me of the Toyota mess on the FJ Cruiser with the Unibody braking after people took it to the sand dunes for play and the front ends broke or cracked and Toyota would cut off the front and insert rods of steel and re-weld it. Nope again wronge answer Toyota too. Sounds like FCA is cutting corners a bit too much.

    A Manly Prius at that, Girly Men not allowed! Yes this is sarcasm for those that cannot tell.

    Another weak engine that has to rev high to just move due to weak torque. ?

    WOW, first time that mug has ever looked OK. Better than the chromed versions.
  14. G. David Felt
    Same could be said for the fine mechanical bits too!

    WOW, That is huge, what type is it?

    Got this cadillac marketing flyer in the mail today. Everything is 0% interest or some.serious cash on the hood on every model they sell. Wow, $11,000 off an Escalade.

    OK, 30 to 40 years ago the SOHC and DOHC were screaming Sewing machine engines with no go and sucked other than just a somewhat reliable nature in generic crappy compact auto's. They got a perception of reliable as they pushed service intervals out to 100,000 miles versus US OEMs stuck with stupid 30,000 mile intervals into the late 90's and sadly most auto owners are lazy with maintenance as such, US auto's would stop running when you failed to do the 30K tuneups and 3K oil changes. Plus most asian autos were manual everything where US was pushing electric everything. US auto's could survive a long life if people only followed the maintenance manual. Sadly I doubt many on this forum have even read their own current owners manual. Being OCD, I have read everyone of my auto's I own and my 1994 GMC Suburban, the oldest car I own and bought new still out performs most current asian SUV/trucks. Take my GMC Suburban SLE over anything Asian or german that is sold today.

    During one of our storms back in 2015 a almost 3,000 unit shipment of BMW and Mini's that arrived in Vancouver BC sat on the dock awaiting transport when this storm hit covering them in heavy sea water mist and rain. As such, the Halifax recall sent all these cars to a salvage yard and now 4 years later they still sit there. New undriven cars. Makes one wonder what kind of deal you can get if you could get them to sell it to you on one of the M series. https://jalopnik.com/nearly-3-000-recalled-brand-new-bmws-and-minis-have-jus-1838295850

    2019 Chevrolet Bolt looks to be earning top safety ratings again. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1125119_2019-chevrolet-bolt-ev-shows-strong-in-iihs-crash-tests The 16 available EVs in the market this year and their specs. Pretty cool to compare and contrast them. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/every-electric-car-ev-range-audi-chevy-tesla/

    Seems Porsche has been lapping Tesla on the German racing track especially after their Platinum powertrain auto that broke their record then broke down and had to be lifted onto a flatbed by a crane. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-towed-nurburgring-porsche-taycan-2019-9

    ok, make it 30 to 50, I see that all the time, people getting on a freeway wait to the last few feet before stomping on their eco box and it does not move. Having the ability to see from a mid speed to freeway speed is important to safe merging. IMHO

    Very cool commercial, had not seen it before. My question is I would love to know the weight of the Turbo Blackwing V8 to the LT5 Supercharged V8 GM has been building. I honestly See NO Value in the less performance DOHC engines. I suspect they are far heavier and much less efficient, but the stupid marketing people have pushed this High revving crap from Asia and Germany as superior over the outstanding HP / torque push-rods have developed for years. I am excited to see this motor and see if it is as smooth and advanced as they are marketing it. Would love to see the two engines side by side comparison of engine details like you can find here: http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/engineweights.html @balthazar You should my friend enjoy the web site above on all the fine details about engines of yor.

    Might not need to be replaced, but it sure could be enhanced with further stats that show the ability of the auto in comparison to others.

    That is an AWESOME Station wagon. Love the looks. Another lease or purchase?
