Detroit 2019: 2019 RAM HD Trucks: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Is it really? Power Wagon for off road adventure, Rivian Adventure Activity Truck for living life. Clearly noticeable differences between the trucks, but one could make a case as to why they would compete in the same segment. Just saying, we redefine market roles all the time. Rivian is big into the outdoors and rock climbing. markets.

G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)? Why does BMW always look so dated and kind reminds me of a Buick on the side door profile section. Weird.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Toyota Supra: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Such an overrated rebadge of the BMW Z4 and Toyota was wrong to connect with BMW as you now have your $2,500 Stereo system upgrade required and only Apple Play no Android available. Other option packages are standard on so many auto's. There is no reason to waste money on this car. Pass

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Yea that is the problem with all DOHC engines is the fact that you have to rev them to make that stated torque and go even higher to get it. Too many solid long life pushrod engines that make a ton of torque low without having to be rev'd so hard.

Preview: 2020 Toyota Supra: Comments
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)According to the Road Show on CNET, pricing is now available on the Supra and I have to say it SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. Who the hell pays $2,490 for the required upgraded stereo / nav system to just get apple play, No Android is available. Sorry Toyota but you guys really messed this one up. I agree with the write up that for a base car starting at $50k dollars, there are far better auto's out there that include all the expensive features listed in the story as upgrade options: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-toyota-supra-pricing-detroit-auto-show/ the base 3.0 model starting at $49,990 before options. The Premium version goes up to 53,990, and the Launch Edition will set you back a cool $55,250.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)IMHO DOHC engines suck big time and they never unless turbo'd have more torque than HP. This engine is another example, Peak HP 310 HP, Torque while not stated in Drew's story, Autoweek states 271 lb-ft of torque. (https://autoweek.com/article/detroit-auto-show/2020-cadillac-xt6-fills-out-luxury-lineup-detroit-auto-show) Found GM's chart on this motor, keeping it the same as what is in the XT5: People seem to love it, but why not give it the 335HP / 285 lb-ft config for a bigger CUV over the XT5 just makes no sense to me. Still hate the DOHC weak ass Torque design. I will say as I missed this the first time I read it "CUE will now allow drivers to store their profile in the cloud for customization across compatible vehicles." This is smart for GM to have this in their auto family that has this feature in their new auto's. Config in the cloud and moved around between auto's. Course how many people can afford multiple new cars in the same year. ?♂️ Still cool feature.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)That would also have quieted down the Critics pointing to the Aviator. I honestly say Lincoln won this round of CUVs. Sad

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)You are right on, I am very surprised to not see this as the base engine and a turbo version in the 400HP / 400 lb-ft of torque department.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Damn DOHC crap engines focused on producing HP but no real torque to move them. Not a fan of these types of motors. Looking forward to the EV versions of Cadillac. This motor makes me ?

Detroit 2019: Cadillac's First Fully Electric Vehicle: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I hope they take this chance to go with NAMES on the new EV products. This would be a good time for Cadillac to embrace their Heritage and bring names to the EVs and leave Johann mess of Cadillac to die off on the ICE world.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)So I was very right in my comment on the Cadillac Instagram thread that this looks like a rebadge of the Chevrolet Blazer. This is clearly a stop gap measure as the real focus is on the Electric versions of CUVs.
