That was a joke cap, hence the “LOL”. Having worked at a Chevy dearlship last year, I can tell you that you will not find ONE Silverado for under $35K, even a V6 work truck. On the serious side though, it means nothing that the Slade uses the 1500’s frame because that is literally the only it has in common with it. The price of the 1500 is irrelevant, knowing that little fact.

Where is this $30K pickup you speak of (sidestepping the fact that it basically shares a frame only with said pick up) LOL?

And the Escalade looks far better (on the outside) than that hideous monstrosity.

Nice looking Hyundai Kona. Sorry but Subaru’s designs have never done one thing for my eyes.

Smaller than the Model X but we are expected to believe that it carries seven people? That must be some serious chronic Elon is smoking.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with Honda’s overall resale but the name alone will hurt it just a little bit lol. The last Passport, like the Rodeo, was pure garbage and some older folks probably haven’t forgotten that even if they are two very different vehicles from each other.

The smaller Blazer lost to the bigger Pacifica, on top of them being two different types of vehicles. Sorry, but that whole MT series was utterly pointless. To say that the Blazer offered nothing shows that you didn’t read the actual reviews of it. It was praised for its poise and driving dynamics, something that is rare in the CUV world. The Passport? HAAAAAHHH!! Honda or not, that was a horrible choice for a CUV name, given the history of said name, (cough, cough Isuzu Rodeo). BTW, it being nothing but a chopped off Pilot does not help its cause.

Didn’t catch that before but you are exactly right.

Not a flattering picture at all, if you’re the XT6. If can’t “dare greatly” make sure you can actually “rise above”. Neither slogan works right now.

I love the logic that somehow you cannot criticize said car or car company if you never plan on driving or buying one. If that’s the case, then I guess most of us would have nothing to talk about here. ? Just dumb is what it is, in reality.

I should clarify that there are “fanboys” and then there are “brand blind fan boys” lol. Definitely is counter to the “dare greatly” ad campaign we have been sold on but hey, everyone has an excuse in one fashion or another. It doesn’t change the problems faced by it though.

And that’s fine if they want to go that route but that backs up my “hit for a double” remark. The RX is not the bar setter here nor should it be seen as that if you’re trying to be the best luxury make out there. I’m sure it will sell in fine numbers but so does the Camry. Anyone here actually think the Camry is the best of the midsize cars?

Very true but Porsche was the first to come to my mind given their “sports car” roots that they successfully managed to blend into a luxury SUV/CUV. The XT6 suffers from two problems (whether fanboys want to admit to it or not). It does not look or feel sporty or luxurious when put up against the competition. The potential is there but like I said before, it comes off as a solid double instead of a homerun.

Why? Just why? Good grief Cadillac.

Next time, grow up fanboy. Don’t act like you haven’t been wrong on here. I admitted my mistake. Try saying something constructive for once instead of being a dick in retaliation to any criticism of your pet brand. That is what’s “pathetic”. One car or three (like it was just a year ago), it doesn’t change the fact that you pretty much have given GM a free pass on the import and foreign sourcing of their cars (we won;t even get into the Mexico made product) while bemoaning others of doing the exact same thing, whether its’ being guilty of simply being a foreign make, foreign owned, or just plain old foreign. That is all I am going to say about that because, like I said earlier, I don’t talk to lunatics and you are starting to act like one. Oh and a CUV can be sporty AND luxurious at the same time. If it can be done with a sedan (i.e. CTS-V), then it can be done on a CUV. Porsche seems to have no problem covering both ends of the luxury/sport market so I’m pretty sure Cadillac can do it as well. Your deflection doesn’t change that fact.

I corrected my statement after Drew’s clarification so try and keep up next time. Oh and I don’t talk to lunatics so no thanks.

Kind of my point. Here you have Cadillac and the bland look XT6 when they could have gone with a sportier look (and drive) and it’s the lower make Chevy that gets the sporty designed Blazer with really nice driving dynamics (if you believe early reviews). It’s a complete lack of solid direction on GMs part whic should not be happening. I just don’t get it.

Here’s the crazy part though. The Blazer design shows at least an effort to make something unique in an otherwise homogenous CUV world. The rest, as you said though, is just a lot of “meh” and most of that sadly going towards Cadillac. To be fair, most makes are being way too conservative these days, probably due to the homogenous CUV “craze” which just seems to invite lazy/conservative choices. Kind of sad if you ask me.

Thanks Drew and that proves my point about the Blazers place in Chevys lineup. It’s a pretty big price jump from the Nox to the Blazer and you only gain a whole foot of cargo space. And you are correct on the China front. My mistake but given that they even make one in China that is sold here should get certain folks fuming yet they are not. Fanboy “logic”, is my point here.

And before someone gets their panties in a wad, understand this. I actually like the Blazer as far as looks goes. The fact that is a CUV would be a deal breaker for me in the end but it doesn’t take away from it’s intended purpose for everyone else. What cannot be ignored though are the intangibles like cargo space. The Blazer has pretty much the came amount of cargo space (actually less from what I’ve heard, maybe @Drew Dowdell can confirm this?) as the Equinox while being priced thousands more. Just not understanding it’s place in GMs lineup other than to just look different from the rest (which again, is what I like about it). The only thing it has over the Equinox is the 3.6L but that really isn’t saying much these days with more folks seemingly favoring turbo fours these days (not this guy btw). The Blazer is a solid double but it could have been a home run had GM put a little more into it (literally).

I honestly could not have said it better myself. We will just skip over the fact that they haven’t done a full comparison yet, where things like less cargo space (in the Blazer) will come to light. Loves domestics which, I’m assuming, leaves out a considerable portion of Chinese made GMs. And I thought Wings was brand blind.

So much for my plan to go 113MPH in a new Volvo.

Maybe it depends on where you are but I have already seen about a half dozen new Silvis in just the last month. The craptastic weather is absolutely a factor in craptastic sales overall though.

100% This! That is simply hideous with a face only Ray Charles could love.
