    Just as MB depends on Europe eating up all the E-Class as Taxis and America to over pay on so called Luxury auto's, Cadillac has China and as such, China will be a bigger market as we all know than the US now. China is Key and if China can support 4 or 5 cars, then having them here is just a by product and bonus to us.

    Seems according to the NextGreenCar.com site that BMW has confirmed the start of work on the production i4 sedan which will have a 435 mile battery pack as well as the iX3 SUV with a 300 mile battery pack. Supposedly the iX3 will be shown at the Beijing motor show next month. Story also goes onto say that the new i8 Roadster and i8 coupe will go on sale starting in May of this year with the 4th generation of their eDrive Technology. Plug-in hybrids have gained 40% more pure EV range. 5th generation of eDrive will make the i Family of autos with battery ranges from 342 miles to 435 miles.

    Who is to say that the CT5 is not being built on the same Platform already as the CT6. Common sense is to use one universal platform for the car line. They do it in China already.

    Opel Parent is already moving everything Opel to their Peugeot platforms. There will be nothing similar to anything from GM so why try and bring disaster with bad history here to America. Plus I would have to think GM had a clause in there about how long before or if they could even bring Opel to America to sell. Better to bring a name plate that actually has positive customer experience. DS

    Would be a smart move for Lincoln to have Gullwing, Scissor, Suicide doors and more as you can use the same platform, but the style, interior and doors would make it different enough to not have comparisons.

    Nice Touch but they have many other issues they need to address besides putting on retro cool Suicide doors.

    Compared to ALL Traditional TT V8 motors, the PUSHROD is Smaller packaged, weighs less and takes up less Space. Cadillac took a totally different approach and put both Turbo's in the Valley of the V so rather than be on the outside of the motor, it is in the center. Electronic Turbo's do not need the pulley to drive them and can be packaged for a tight design something that another member had brought up long ago in the original start of debate about Pushrod versus DOHC motors. Yet NO ONE not even MB has packaged them this way to be tightly integrated. This is truly a change in thinking to package and drop the added weight of the plumbing, belts, etc. Truly a more efficient design now that materials and computer programming have dealt with the Thermal issues. Will all be nothing once AWD EV with proper battery packs takes over.

    Very Cool, my vote went to V.1 Both are nice, but I like the bigger fatter letters.

    I totally remember those as My grandma had one in California with those color matched rims. Loved that car.

    I myself have never had Facebook. Instagram and LinkedIn are the only social media I have.

    Tesla and SpaceX Facebook accounts Deleted by Elon Musk Musk Tweets What is Facebook as he has deleted his Tesla and SpaceX accounts. Seems Facebook is not reliable, safe or should even be used anymore. http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/23/technology/elon-musk-facebook/index.html http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-deletes-tesla-spacex-facebook-pages-2018-3 Business insider expands on the story by pointing to 2016 when a SpaceX rocket that was supposed to launch a Facebook Satellite blew up costing Facebook millions. Some interesting reads and challenges. What do you think?

    Yea, that just never made sense to have BABY POOP auto color.

    Mini hey day is over. Those that wanted a cracker jack box sitting on the ground have them, the bulk of people want an auto that carries their stuff, friends and fits into an active lifestyle. The only one they have that does that is the Countryman that sits up higher and is a bit bigger inside. I can see them still having a model below this, but I think Mini needs to either grow some bigger versions or plan to accept limited sales to limited people.

    The Purple on it is one of my favorite colors they had put out.

    To me the Window is fine, it is the lower half that just blows!

    So a Slick fast exit and the reason for fake leather. Got it!

    That ASS is Terrible!

    Would not happen as without the pallet guide and being enabled, once you choose your color, it stays that way till you activate it and then select a new color, so a bird landing on the car would not change it. Plus while some do seem to forget where they parked, that is the reason for the fob and the ability to turn on the flashers and honk the horn. I am sure you would still be able to find your auto Ocnblu.

    ATS V beats Infiniti The lower you go the bigger any spoiler looks but when your right behind it, it looks well balanced and far better than the Jelly Bean Rear of the Infiniti.

    Economy of Scale always brings price down. Just takes a Dream, some work and eventually it becomes common.

    @balthazar @smk4565 Pretty much a wash between AWD models, but the 2WD Escalade is the same weight as the awd GLS 550. I am sure both companies will shed some weight with their next models. Plus GM can put in more powerful NA V8's, so many more reliable GM engine options than MB has.

    Makes sense in markets that have lower income levels and or tight roads like old Europe that subcompact Jeep could be as hit.

    Love that color too, Had no Idea they built these with that Color. Shame they do not offer it still on the current models. What the auto company needs to do is build ALL AUTO's with a base paint job that is like in the Movie Total Recall where the secretary is able to tap a color pallet and change her fingernails to whatever color she wants. This way you could give people a total custom color job with endless possibilities.

    I would take the current Escalade with the TTV8 as a V-Sport and with the Supercharged V8 as the V edition.
