    BS, Believe it when we see it. Segio is a lying sack of Sh$t. He took the billions out hurting the US brands to bring back his Italian Garbage Alfa and proved it was a mess as he has failed to deliver on anything he has stated. Now the only way to save face is to then push out his Alfa crap onto the rest of the brands to try and justify his incompetence. Face it Sergio, Alfa should have stayed Dead and Fiat could be killed and no one would shed a tear except the Italians. "Garbage in Garbage out" a term that never fit a company so well as it does Fiat! US should have Never let Fiat buy Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, Dodge. I would have rather merged GM and Chrysler than let Fiat buy them and screw it up even worse.

    Drug Abuse is Sad! Yet it is a form of population control since many abuse themselves before being able to reproduce and die young.

    Yup, better quality than Fiat but not great, but they have generated Billions that Sergio took to bring back from death Alfa and make him look like superman in Italy since it created jobs there, but in essence, it was a short vision thinking as it is killing the goose that laid the golden egg and now the American Brands are just about dead. Since Alfa generates ZERO Profits and is a black hole sucking down money, how will it survive once people stop buying Chrysler and Dodge products cause they are so old in comparison to the rest of the auto world. SERGIO = IDIOT, NO VISION, STUPID, Should have been fired long ago if it was not for his manipulation of numbers to keep the board employed also. They are only looking for a way to get to retirement and not about long life of the company or jobs. IMHO

    More Stupidity and waste from FCA by killing the American brands to try and bring back the terrible quality Alfa crap.

    Arghhhhhh Alphabet soup just screws my brain over. So hate the whole naming thing be it numbers or letters. So I assume you mean this? • XTC (noun) Sense 1 XTC [BACK TO TOP] Meaning: Street names for methylenedioxymethamphetamine Classified under: Nouns denoting man-made objects Synonyms: cristal; disco biscuit; hug drug; XTC; go; Adam; ecstasy; X Hypernyms ("XTC" is a kind of...): MDMA; methylenedioxymethamphetamine (a stimulant drug that is chemically related to mescaline and amphetamine and is used illicitly for its euphoric and hallucinogenic effects; it was formerly used in psychotherapy but in 1985 it was declared illegal in the United States)

    For Cadillac, I see the line up as follows: ATS = CT3 CTS = CT5 CT6, 7, 9 all in base trim, Luxury, Premium Luxury, Platinum, V-Sport & V editions. This would cover their 2 door coupes, 2 door convertibles, 4 door sedans. XT3, 5, 7, 9 all in base trim, Luxury, Premium Luxury, Platinum, V-Sport & V editions. Escalade in regular and ESV versions. All in base trim, Luxury, Premium Luxury, Platinum, V-Sport & V editions. This is a complete Luxury Lineup with no need for sub compacts or ultra compacts or any other low end version. If someone wants that, Welcome to Buick! Under Trump, you have to have your cheap working staff! Midgets, the new minority! I fully endorse this SARCASM and Non Politically Correct Comment!

    That is being addressed with the V-Sport and V edition of the Escalade. No need for a smaller more expensive CUV/SUV. I hate even the thought. Escalade is the top dog in the lineup and it has room for the two mentioned versions. That is not to say that an XT-9, 7, 5, 3 should not also have a V-Sport and V edition too.

    Do you think SMK is talking about his Better than Anything Ancient G-Wagon that I think in his mind is better than the Escalade and above it due to price. 2017 G-Wagon starts at $110,000 and tops out at $220,400 in the AMG G65 version.

    I love the newest look and quality of the Escalade. With that said, I do have one nitpic issue. The Seats. They have gotton thinner and less comfortable than in the past. My 2006 is firm and yet very comfy for long road trips. I have had all this week a 2017 Escalade and have to say that there is much to love, but the seats really make your Bum go Numb fast within 30 min. I have done everything I can to adjust the seats but both my wife and I have come to the same conclusion, the seats are not comfortable compared to my 2006. Big change is how flat and thin the side supports have become for the back and legs. So much to love about the newest Escalade but also the seats since I love road trips just might be a deal breaker for me getting a new ESV Platinum. For comparison, I looked up the seats to see the changes over the models and this is what I found: 1999-2000 2001-2006 My seats are really comfy. 2007-2010 2011-2013 2014-2017

    Cadillac Escalade up till 2008 was AWD all the time and a note in the owners guide that the back wheels had to be up also. You could not tow it like a normal RWD or FWD car. That has changed as the new 4WD systems have a disconnect now.

    Yawn, Same ol Same Ol, nothing new. Next!

    I am shocked by the Buick sales drop off! Anyone have any ideas what happened? That is ugly!
  13. G. David Felt
    With trump in office now, approval should be a no brainer as his 1% club does not care about the environment.

    Wonder when the next auto correction will happen. Year after year sales growth is not sustainable. Yes I do see some big double digits drops but still some auto companies are gonna hit a point of needing a correction. Course I think some auto companies with bland boring product lines needs to really shake things up. Course then I am dumb founded by VW becoming the worlds biggest auto company even with Diesel gate.

    Awesome little Torquey ride! RIP!!! Better things have come, the BOLT is a way better auto and no need for the Spark EV.

    Pass on the Deep Whiff part!

    I am sure they could but then I would say we should discuss that in an Escalade thread. So about the XTS, I see this car actually living on for a lot longer than most people expect. Best uses are private auto transport such as Lyft or Uber, Limousine service, Funeral parlor service, Fleets in addition to private retail sales to those that want a more float older full size auto. I would like to see some of the thin seat technology go into it as the room for feet under the front seats is tight. That would help those of us with big feet.

    G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com 24/7 Wall St reports Tesla Loses in Safety Test to Chevy and Toyota For 2017 electric / hybrid auto rating, Tesla looses to GM and Toyota the safety crown. Tesla has stated that they have already corrected the safety issues but were unable to deliver an updated auto for testing. It will be retested later this year. Errors happen, be interesting to see how the BOLT tests out. 24/7 Wall St. Story

    Fordcosworth, not mad at you, but the story as I was skeptical of what they reported. Sooo, I dug in by going to the actual web sites to see what the real story was. And the story you posted is a Cherry Picked Story that is so full of misleading facts it is unbelievable. They cherry picked auto's over the last multiple years of cars / trucks / suv's. Here is the actual real postings by 24/7 wall street: 2016 ratings 2015 ratings Neither of the Big 3 Trucks are in the last two years rankings and I had to go back to the first generation colorado crew cab to see where they even came up as it being 2nd place. This is the type of PISS POOR MEDIA REPORTING that is hurting our country. Check the facts, verify and post a real story not just one that is clearly a personal agenda piece.

    100% agree, been to way to many concerts where people could care less about your sex and just want to take care of business. Funny is the people working the concert that freak out when women come into a men's room to use the toilets since men are not using them only the urinals. Stupid narrow minded thinking.

    FIAT BrandThe Fiat 500 recorded a 24 percent sales increase in January compared with the same month a year ago. Yea, I would expect this with all the cash they are throwing on those cheap POS auto's. The Fiat 124 Spider was named “Best New Convertible” of 2017 by the experts at Cars.com. The all-new Spider delivers the ultimate Italian roadster experience with driving excitement, technology and safety combined with iconic Italian design. Yea Think? This is a rebadge Mazda, so it better be way better than any Fiat garbage, which is all Fiat has ever delivered to the US except when they partner and end up putting their badge on another companies auto. Glad to see the rest of the American Lineup doing well. I am suprised by the Jeep Renegade sales, I find here in Washington many are on the used auto lot with low miles. Make me think they are as reliable as their POS Sibling at Fiat. So the continue savior of FCA Alfa is doing so awesome with 108 sales in January. At that rate, 1,296 sales a year, it will take 231 years for them to hit that magic 300,000 sales a year number Sergio sold the board on. WHAT A WASTE OF BILLIONS!

    Great Numbers for our US manufacturing!

    Very true, religion and ultra conservative people have pushed a large separate everyone agenda just like the extreme liberals that say we have to identify everyone and then give the right for everyone to use each other's bathroom. I say I could care less if you are hetro or LGBTA or whatever additional letters they want to push on us. Just go Unisex bathrooms and let it be. So many more humans get along in a single large bathroom than here in the US. Plus I have to say there are some really cool urinals in the asian rim. Usually across from all the stalls for those that want more privacy you have one large urinal area. The asian rim which I travel to often for work has crazy advertisements and have fun peeing ones. Thermal Urinals seem to be the craze there right now.

    The XTS in Black Amethyst is lovely in the 2017 XTS AWD 3.6L TWIN TURBO ENGINE V-SPORT PLATINUM This is a hard car to beat.

    Yup, having lived there for 3yrs while attending Kobe University, you only find western bathrooms in hotels, airports or select places that are heavy with tourism. If you go into the real towns and places around cities, you find unisex bathrooms. Culture is no one cares if your a man or woman, you just do your business and go. I love Unisex bathrooms, so easy and simple.
