    Agree, they need to have a Monochromatic option or at least a Black Chrome option for those that do not like the Baby Boomer Bling look. I thought a Bratwurst was a Bratwurst regardless of size! ?

    The grill is a bit much, but overall I like this way better than the MB or Audio options. Interior is very nice. I have to say I love the sky roof for all 3 rows. that is awesome. Now two german SUVs that I like, the EQC and this.

    While I am very tall and muscular, as we well know, the bulk of America is getting bigger in girth and as such, I tend to think about everyone when it comes to a car, CUV, SUV, Truck that can hold people comfortably. I believe that all levels of auto's can be built to hold people comfy and not just be a driver focused auto. The only way change comes about is by pounding the drum for change.

    Guess I have still failed as in the past Cadillac always sold tweener cars that were just a bit bigger than the Germans. Then they moved to building cars that compete with the Germans and they have gotten nailed over pretty much the same crap the Germans have in their auto's and on top of this with identical rear car seats we have people complain about Cadillac but it is OK with the Germans. So my point is use the US safety version but extend it to be equal in length to what is sold over in China and have a bit bigger auto. Take away the stupid talking points. FYI, I have been in the CT6, very nice car, but the rear I cannot fit in without the front seat pulled up and I slouch. Still not big enough for my body. Yes I am the exception to many here.

    They do not already make them here, you cannot get the L edition of the cadillacs here and if you could there is nothing the German or Asian brands have that would compete with an ATS that has additional 16 inches of rear leg room.

    https://www.autoblog.com/2018/10/16/mercedes-amg-one-delayed-formula-1-engine-emissions/ Seems Daimlers Hypercar is delayed again due to idle issues in getting it to pass emissions.

    Missing the Point, easy to build by just having longer auto's. Selling the ATS and CTS L edition from China here in the US as regular auto's would give them room no other luxury automaker has and would make the back room seat debate a moot point. Very simple to do by adding 6 inches of leg room, tall people can slouch then and fit into the coupe roof line on everything that is out there now.

    I would take this EV from Jag! I think Jaguar could sell a bunch of these EVs. The Electric concept C-X75 needs to go into production.

    Me in a little car! Not sure what is worse, big guy in little car or sadly what I see around here all the time. Big short guy on a little bike.

    @Drew Dowdell @Cubical-aka-Moltar @A Horse With No Name @ykX So this year, was 50, colonoscopy, total cardio and while I easily passed everything, I have put on weight, 310lbs. 40" waist. So September 1st I went into body builder mode. ?️‍♂️ Low fat, veggie, dairy and protein focused diet. Dropped 15lbs so far, gained an inch in the chest, lost one in the waist. making good weight gains in lifting. Gonna see how close I can get back to my college days of body building, but I admit, it will be hard as I do not see myself giving up wine and chocolate when I watch a movie over the weekend. Will keep ya guys updated, but no I doubt unless Cadillac brings back the Brougham that I will ever be back in a car as I like my comfort and need to always make sure I have room for myself in the seat behind myself. That way, I make sure everyone riding with me is comfortable. After all, Happy wife, Happy Kids, Happy Friends, Happy Life! Convinced the wife to give Skiing a try this year, so she is also in the gym with me working hard to get into better shape for Ski season! ⛷️ Now ya know how I measure rear seat room. Set the front seat for my comfort, get out, get in behind the front seat I just set and see how I fit.

    They were Roomy! :D

    Is someone trying to compensate for something? ? ?

    Those are the BOMB! If you ever get out to Seattle, John Howeys has a Tempura fried chocolate wrapped bacon with Jalapeno. It is awesome, comes with hot Maple Syrup! @A Horse With No Name Don't knock it till you try it. Very yummy, especially dipped in Maple Syrup. I would love a large Cadillac Brougham that has an adjustable suspension so when I want to, I can put it in V mode!

    Do not forget about the Broette-Dozer or Sista-Dozer! ?
  15. G. David Felt
    So then every model has a distinct look and category for male, female and LGBTQA? ?

    Sorry Cubical, I have to down vote this. Even when I was 12 I was already 6' tall and my sisters were almost as tall as I even being older. Many people do not want a minivan or full size van to carry adults. Adult carrying is VERY IMPORTANT and I think many are to focused just on themselves the driver when you also need to think about others you carry. This is not a corner case but a much more common use case. I see it daily coworkers cramming into tiny cars, corpool in cars or SUVs and everyone is cramped it looks like. More common than many realize.

    ALWAYS RELEVANT!!! The biggest missed place in ALL AUTO REVIEWS is to clearly talk about how people sitting in the front will affect those sitting in the back. There is NEVER a perfect front seat sitting and back seat sitting that fits a perfect 4 or 5 adult placement. This is the LIE that the auto industry has not owned up to. You and your coworkers decide to go out to lunch and your the one who offered to drive. You and one coworker are US average size of 5'8" another is 5'6" tall but very large size and the other is 6'2" tall and you drive a Camry. Who sits where and why. IMHO, ALL Auto Reviews should cover sizing and how it fits for the AVERAGE American but also if you have Large size people or tall people or even very short. Just like many other areas in life that people either try to fit everyone into or ignor it totally, the interior space of sizing for a single person is a lie when you will always have a variety of sized people. They should clearly state a 4 adult person space seating in every car or SUV on how people will fit. Fine if 5'8" tall is the standard they want, but then clearly state how much head room, hip room, leg room, etc. is left or if there is not enough. We have discussed many times on how tight the compact to mid size 4 door sedan market is and how even when multiple OEMs state the same or near same seat size, one fits more comfy than another. The reviews are heavily biased on just the driver and not taking into account passengers. I could go on but I hope you get my point.

    @ocnblu You need to give this guy a big kiss as he has introduced legislation to end all EV tax breaks. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/10/12/senator-barrasso-end-federal-ev-tax-credit/

    Any Hellboy Fans? Leaked on Reddit, Hellboy 2019 https://www.toplessrobot.com/2018/10/hellboy-trailer-gets-leaked-via-the-typical-terrible-phone-footage.php Seems to be a back to the comic book focus and some very cool stuff. Excited for this in April 2019!

    Ouch crazy prices are bad for all, but then it is a capitalist society with what ever the market will bare.

    OUCH Ford is scaring people today with their $11 billion restructure plan and lay offs. @A Horse With No Name Seems the stock is down today to 2009 pricing. Recession level based on what this story is saying. https://jalopnik.com/fords-layoff-plan-is-making-a-ton-of-people-nervous-re-1829751888 https://corporate.ford.com/homepage.html Weird that no official info is on their web site.

    Awesome, much appreciated, thank you.

    @William Maley How is the interior space for big people? I grew up with my parents having a 626, my moms car and later my oldest sister got a Mazda 6 in 2007 which if I was in the front no one could sit behind me. So how is the interior space and rear headroom with that coupe sedan design?
