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.

If you have it out for any car company, you can find this with all of them.

I can't un-see that fog light area... The rest of it looks good. Good to see some updates before it may go away. Recalls have never bothered me. It's good to see they're proactive and addressing the issues and the injury rate on the 1.4 million vehicles has got to be somewhere in the <1% range so that stuff never really bothers me. Even the huge GM ignition situation.. the % of people hurt or dead are so low I still wouldn't have worried if I had a call on the list.

That had to be a dog trying to accelerate to 80 mph loaded down like that with that little guy. I like the Renegade but it doesn't seem like the kind of vehicle for interstate driving through mountains and loaded to max(if not more) loading capacity.
-
I haven't looked at sales numbers but it's hard to believe this is going to a second generation while Ford is killing off the Continental after 1 generation. Does this sell better than it? I'll look it up and report back..lol K900 sold 455 units in 2017 Continental sold 12,012 units in 2017
-
Pretty good looking car.
-
And it still looks as bland as a cookie cutter CUV. They probably sell 3 a year.

Maybe you still don't understand that this is a grand touring car and not a race car. It's plenty fast for its intended purpose and has WAAAAAY more character than an E Class Coupe. Don't get me wrong, I think the E Coupe is an attractive car but it's as bland as yesteryear's Camry in comparison(or compared to most any other 100k car). Also, not only does the LC 500 have more horsepower it has more torque than your E53 to go along with its V8 noises(that seem to get great reviews BTW). If it's 0.1 slower to 60mph or through the 1/4 mile I don't think that stops either buyer from going to the other car as it's a negligible amount for a cruiser coupe.
-
Does Mercedes offer a 471hp V8 or a hybrid in the E400 or E400 4Matic? I didn't think so.. There is no E53 Coupe on sale. S Coupe is 30 grand more pricey, for more car. That seems pretty obvious.
-
^ That's the kind of situation that this makes sense.
-
Do you refuse to go on vacations and rent a car or a hotel room too? Renting things like that is ALWAYS MORE EXPENSIVE per day/hour/minute than owning it. The convenience is you also don't own it and therefore you don't have to maintain it or store it or pay to park it anywhere or insure it for 365 days a year.
-
Not. At. All.
-
That is correct.
-
That's not an LC 500 pictured.
