I'd drive one of those based on looks and interior.. 137hp for the outgoing model and if this is more, I'd guess it would be a marginal gain so like 145hp or so. That'd matched to a CVT would be what would keep me out of it more than anything else.- 22 replies

The only reason I'd buy the Taco over The Twins is looks. I think the Taco looks so much better even though it does pretty much everything worse. I'm ready for a turbo engine in these mid-size trucks. I'm not sure how the little turbo 4 will do in the Ranger but I think a small turbo 6 would be perfect. Even with a very conservative tune making only like 280hp but with like 320tq+ seems like it would be a huge segment hit. Come to think of it, I think that's almost exactly what the 2.3 in the Ranger will do but let's be honest, turbo 4's in larger vehicles still have no proven themselves to get advertised mileage.

I agree but you still need people to buy those vehicles at those prices. Just because they make them doesn't mean their sales will remain where they are for a more profitable vehicle.

Lincoln Continental - A little pricey but also in a dying segment. It does what it was designed to do but I think the lack of sportiness hurts it in professional reviews. Cadillac CTS - Good car, poor sales. I think Cadillac is still struggling with brand image to those outside of the automotive world and CUE has been an issue since day 1. Even if it is better now I bet it rubbed a lot of people wrong. Also, not real buttons.. Colorado/Canyon - it isn't that it has poor sales(well the Canyon kind of does - 32,103 in 2017) but I'm surprised it never took more from the Tacoma. I guess I'd say they're lower than expected because they're lower than the Tacoma even though they're pretty much better in every standpoint AND the're an American branded truck company.

You could replace this flat and bland section with a part of their Silverado bed and you'd never know the difference(I hope you grasp the sarcasm).

Cadillac can't make pretty coupes. They haven't for quite awhile now and it's all in the rear 1/3 of the vehicle. Yeah! It's everything behind the doors that is just botched. It's like the quit trying and just pulled the body back to the required distances and said, "it's done."

Based 100% on looks, I’d take the rear end of the Infiniti. The ATS Coupe does look way better than the last CTS Coupe. Boy did I hate that thing.

Too bad Cadillac doesn't know how to design the rear 1/3 of a coupe. They call it quits at the end of the door and just sh!t all over the floor instead.

Lincoln News: Rumorpile: Lincoln Continental To Be One and Done?
ccap41 replied to William Maley's topic in Lincoln
Random Lincoln comment that Olds' pictures reminded me.. I saw my first purple MKC the other day not 5 minutes after talking to the gf about how I wanted a purple MKC and I had never seen one. I love that color. It's so dark in person too... Too bad they were 2015's only and still had MFT so I'll never own one.

Speaking of Infiniti... Their Q50 Hybrid seems like one hell of a bargain on the used market. Makes me want one really bad. I really like the updated(whenever the current gen came out) styling and it seems like it'd be a fantastic daily driver. One example: Q50 Hybrid The miles and price vary some but you could get in one for less than 25k with what I would still consider lower miles, <40k. Another: Another Q50 Hybrid

That'd be nice. I'd like that as well.

WE know this. General public probably absolutely no clue which exactly came first. They, more than likely, see 100 times more Impalas and just think that came first because they probably saw them first. If that's the case... one Cavalier, please! No worries
-
I also think Cadillac is stuck in a little awkward part of the industry because there are and will only be so many sales available each year and stealing from the giants in Germany no matter how good their product is is still just a ridiculous task(like Ford'd Fusion taking on the Camry and Accord). I see the point in not investing more and more in something that might not yield enough of a return. Jaguar and Genesis is still yet to be answered but the Genesis line is pretty impressive if you ask me. I completely understand your last paragraph and I don't have a true answer for it. I'm not saying that they can or can't but I was just putting out there a legitimate argument, be it right or wrong. Ever run into a non-car person and talk cars with them? That'd be the general public that isn't us. They're the people who have no clue aboue platform sharing, engine sharing, rebadging things, nothing. They see "pretty" or "not pretty".
-
Swear to God I'm not. I've talked to 2-3 people in the last 5 or so years. I corrected them but they still initially thought that.
-
I can't believe you think that's a "trolly" statement/post. You don't need to try and convince me. Convince the general public.
-
They aren't the badge-jobs of a decade ago but they're the same vehicle with new fascias and slightly different interiors.. Close enough to non-enthusiasts.
-
That's not true at all. We enjoy more than 1 style of vehicle.

I think it is about more than one single vehicle though when talking about brand image. Those re-badged Chevys hurt the entire brand and hurt sales across the board. I don't think a RWD platform would improve sales for the one vehicle but I think it will help the entire brand separate itself from Chevy. If the entire general public viewed the brand, as a whole, more premium then sales for everything would go up because they don't make junk but there are definitely people who still think a CTS is a re-badged Impala. I've run into them. Having re-badged Chevys isn't helping their image.

His posts are as predictable as they get. Every car thread gets the same comments, every SUV thread gets the same comments, and everything needs to be EV. Rinse and repeat.

Get well soon, bud!

It's ironic that you defend the size of the 4 door ATS and how absurdly small the back seat is yet you get on a 2 door convertible for its back seat space.. go on.. LOL serously?!?! your defense for not wanting a convertible is mo-fckn SKIN CANCER?!? GTFO.

The only thing I don't like is the taillights. They look awkward to me. I like the current gen's better. That being said, it would never be the thing to stop me from buying it. Overall, it looks great.
