    The same could be asked even for a shift lever if that's the case, because everything is electronic and not mechanical any way. I think it's safe to say there are built in safeties but I'm not willing to test it out on my Lincoln.

    Not the prettiest thing I've ever seen, especially in Z71 guise. Then again, almost every single thing Chevy has released in the last 2-3 years has looked worse than the outgoing model...and I typically like newer vehicles.

    They don't have any cash on the hoods, according to their website. They're all lease deals, FWIW.

    80k units per year in a $100,000+ vehicle is anything but low volume. That's 2-4 times what the Corvette sells and I think we all agree the Vette sells very well for it's price. https://www.motortrend.com/news/new-cadillac-escalade-ct5-v-no-blackwing-v8/ Costs.

    I'll believe it when I see it with GM axing everything or making everything FWD-based...along with throwing away the 4.2 Blackwing.

    "Flat plane crank" and "torque" is an oxymoron.

    510lb-ft @ 3500rpm vs 460lb-ft @ 4100rpm I don't think there's any issue there.

    That would be extremely frustrating then.

    I believe they're the only company with the rights to be wireless. Everybody else has to connect via a cable.

    Two countries is "global" to you?

    It's just a shame because only a couple years ago everybody's view of Cadillac was that they're 7 tiers above Lincoln and now they're struggling to compete with anything Lincoln has come out with recently. Granted, some of that is Lincoln escalating their portfolio but, a lot of it is Cadillac laying down. It's still sold outside of the US.

    I mean, I understand it but, if you're trying to rebuild a luxurious reputation, you are going to have to take losses until the brand catches fire and gains(regains) its reputation. This just doesn't seem like the direction Cadillac should be heading. It's just a feeling they're almost "giving up" and letting the Germans stay up top. They seemed like they were in a really good spot with the most recent generation and these new generations should have built upon those instead of feeling like they're going backward.

    It blows my mind they only gave this like two years before announcing it was canceled.

    I prefer to not pay tens-of-thousands of dollars for my bowls of vomit.

    Convertible crossovers... The only class of vehicle that i dislike more than coupe crossovers.
  17. ccap41
    I actually kind of like it... I definitely need to see more though.

    Not that I know of... but they probably have cylinder deactivation so you can run on 2 cylinders, too!

    DRIVE MODES!

    That's acceptable to me. I definitely do disagree that the amber light does nothing. Unless you have poor vision, it isn't difficult to see the only light on a mirror in which you're already looking at before changing lanes. I like that. It isn't intrusive in any way unless you're about to make a move in that direction in which it makes sure you are aware.

    If I'm driving in a straight line and my car is going off with alerts every time somebody passes me or I pass somebody on the interstate, I'm turning that crap off. That sounds annoying. I'm perfectly okay with the little amber light in the corner of a side mirror as I'm turning my head anyway.
  23. ccap41
    That is true but it "supposedly" came from somebody at GM("Senior GM source") .

    You don't need to turn off my backup sensors every time in my Lincoln. If you opt to turn them off, they're off until you turn them back on. The lane keeping and auto braking stuff was the same in the MKX I drove for a couple days, turn it off and it stays off until you turn them back on. @Drew Dowdell, are there any brands that you can think of that auto-turn back on every time the vehicle is started? If you only want to hear about the one vehicle in question, threads would barely be a page long, if you can't compare it to anything. It'd be boring as F.

    I think a light on the side mirror is plenty adequate. I don't want my car beeping or flashing on the dash every time I pass somebody or somebody passes me.
