  1. Guess they do not sell well here as a private carrier was taking it away for inner state transport. There is also the overkill attitude which is everything Tan is overkill just like everything black is overkill. Accents are nice, brown on the black is nice. I do agree that Cadillac needs to expand their interior choices.
  2. Totally disagree with you. Tight, too small on the inside and fit n finish is on par with Cadillac, MB, BMW. They must be different where you live as they have not been that striking here in Seattle. Just another Predator faced auto from Toyota. Seats are hard and lacking to me for comfort. Layout of the dash is also a bit strange. Lexus lovers love Lexus but I really wonder and will be interested to see how many they sell as I think Lexus should have invested this in improving the autos they already had first.
  3. I understand price points and class segments for sale, but I still think the CTS-V and ATS-V are better than this car from interior to exterior and performance. So no value in this auto for what they charge. But then Lexus has not built anything yet that has impressed me.
  4. ATS just shows how much better value it is compared to this auto. 464 HP & 445 lb-ft torque. This will beat that over priced ugly lexus.
  5. I have to disagree here that this car is about $20,000 over priced in comparison to other like auto's on the market and grossly under powered with even less Torque. Cadillac is a superior auto with better value all the way around.
  6. I get the point of an export auto able to go to any market if they do not have to worry about having a specific badge on an auto. Buick on US bound auto's versus no Buick on all the rest, makes it easier to fulfill orders if your not having to deal with a Name or no Name on the auto. Makes business sense.
  7. Yea, I have seen how Millennials as well as older people have no respect for the BMW and Mercedes-benz rental car programs on the street of Seattle. The auto's are a mess. No way I would want to let others trash my auto.
  8. You will love the Envision, they are awesome CUVs. My sister is really happy with hers and I know it has made me a fan again. They are great roomy very quiet auto's.
  9. Thank you, I bing'd and googled it but did not come up with anything that made sense. Guess I might just be a bit too nerdy of an engineer to think that low into the gutter. Course now that I get it, I can laugh about it.
  10. OK, just like late night TV that is supposed to be comedy and I never got it so why bother watching, I do not get what is so funny or why BREAD 8 would be a band license plate?
  11. I like them dropping the name, no need when you have the badge there.
  12. PASS, Knowing how people trash rentals, I will not have my nice clean well kept auto's trashed by others.
  13. Looks like a Beefy Station wagon, hopefully a better grill than on the current CUV/SUVs. Not a fan of the Big Mouth Billy Bass grill.
  14. OK, so then our basic HD trucks pollute more than these medium commercial trucks and so they have to be detuned?
  15. But as we have already seen, this is not a death for ever of the bug and they clearly can bring it back when there is more demand, but at this point the bulk of society that wants a bug has a bug and the larger more profitable market has moved onto CUV's and clearly a demand for the VW Bus again or aka ID Buzz.
  16. Totally agree since there are multiple Turbo kits out for the auto's as is. Does make one wonder if they are looking to make the next generation an EV or Hybrid.
  17. Good thoughts, be interesting to find out, if the engine is a pre exhaust fluid, then they should have updated to the current tune with exhaust fluid. All commercial companies love torque to tow and move their loads. Be interesting to see what Bill digs up. Thanks
  18. I am all for cleaner but in reading it again based on your reply, the engine is the same in both auto's just a different tune that allows it to meet the emissions requirements for the weight class. That is how I read it myself. @William Maley Bill is it two different engines or the same engine with two different tunes?
  19. Talk about BLIND SPOTS with those fins!
  20. WOW Who would have thunk that if you build an auto that Americans want with names they like that sales would increase. for the last 40 years you could tell that a small car company attitude for Europe and Asian is not what works in America.
  21. Toyota is wanting to keep everyone as far away from their golden goose as possible and Honda is going to have to accept that the investment to keep their Accord on par with the Camry comes with the cost of having to take less money upfront to recover R&D. It might be a great improvement, but most people have moved away from cars and to have 600 sitting on a lot is just crazy. Cost of doing business when you are the #1 or #2 car in a shrinking segment. I would not be surprised to see most automakers reduce their cars to just a couple.
  22. Proving how closed minded you are, the interior space was never an issue for me, plenty in the front and back. The wife could not accept the white accent V in the dash. As such we wait for other EV options. Nice try but then you knew that and your comment fails.
  23. Manuals are on their deathbed. Very few people can drive them, very few want to even bother with them anymore. The day of a manual is coming to its end.
