    Conjecture as you have zero proof that a make believe vehicle is better than the current one. All we know for certain is that the current vehicle is better than anything Merecedes offers.

    Way to 100% miss the point. I am talking about your omission of Cadillac in the tech advancement game. You are making silly assumptions about the engines as well, like GM doesn't have DOHC 6.2L that they can easily put in the Slade by 2019. Let me just say this. While you harp on about cheapness, 0-60 times, old engines, and whatever else you can use to attach to that moving bar of yours, remember this. That overdressed Chevy, a tenth of a second slower and all, beat that Benz in the last MT luxury SUV comparo. It outsells it too. BTW, the GL went with those motors because of the Asia/China market. This has already been discussed to death. Let me add this one last bit. Ever heard the expression 'Don't fix what isn't broken"? That's the Escalade. It's the same principle you have used for the four decade old G-Wagen.

    Baffling how he thinks that Benz is the only make capable of advancing tech. All I know is that more folks prefer the overdressed Chevy over the Benz.

    So a 6000 lb. SUV with a V6 could do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds? Want to explain the physics behind that?
  5. surreal1272
    Yes because everyone is just drag racing from stop light to stop light in their CUVs. Like Drew said, 0-60 times are not top priority for CUVs or most of their buyers. Which is exactly why it doesn't need a V6 of any kind.
  6. surreal1272
    Let me make something abundantly clear here. The Escalade does not ever need a V6 of any kind. It has earned part of its reputation on the 6.2L and that should not change. They have plenty of smaller models in their lineup that could use a turbo six but that brute is not one of them.
  7. surreal1272
    The Escalade disagrees with your assertion that you can't build equity off of a Chevy.

    It should come standard with a bib and a drool bucket!

    I'm just sayin'

    So Mr. Not nOOB, what would you use?
  11. surreal1272
    No they won't. I still remember the old Scramblers from the 80s. They were unreliable piles but man, the owners loved them like it was their actual baby. Jeep has a prime opportunity to seize the off road pick up market with this.

    About FCA, they do need to get it in gear and get the product train rolling already. They have not managed it very well where Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM are concerned but hopefully these lastest round of announcements will start bearing real fruit before it's too late.

    Next to laughter, music is the best remedy. Rock on Stew and screw the naysayers.

    Again, that is trying to equate your situation with someone else's. I see what you're saying and it can drive me batty too but there is no solution in berating someone over it like some have just done here. It has never solved a damn thing and it just makes those same people look like giant A-holes. For the record, I am not referring to you because you approached this very sensibly while getting to the point, and without insulting the person. Again, a little empathy goes a long way for some folks, as opposed to berating and making passive aggressive comments about them. It says a lot about any person who would resort to those tactics and it is a shameful reflection of humanity.

    Am I the only one a bit let down by the Detroit Auto Show? In fact, I'm more than a bit let down. Might as well have been called the Detroit CUV Show. I know it's the trend right now but all of these CUVs just bore me and as a result, the Detroit show bored me.
  16. surreal1272
    This is very good news. More choices for everyone that doesn't want a dime a dozen CUV.
  17. surreal1272
    Same here. I think it's a common thing with Phoenix drivers especially. It just makes them lazy and I am not a fan of them at all. And this^^
  18. surreal1272
    It is the same principle and system though and I again think that you would not even be making these kind of statements if this were about Mercedes. Besides, you are assuming figures that Cadillac itself has not presented but I am sure they have considered all the possibilities since this is something you don't just start without proper planning. Cadillac has plenty of inventory to work with so there should be no problems implementing this program and making their customers happy. All around, it's a great move by them.

    Again, refer to my statement whereas I said that this country isn't even a democracy. We are a representative republic so the argument was pure fallacy from the get go. Shall I show you Christianity's own history of folks that criticized the church? It's a rather extensive list. Again, feel free to ask the Native American population about what happened to their ancestors when they didn't choose the Christian god. Democratic my ass. BTW, regarding your statement about the author and his opinion, at least they go into actual details about their stance whereas you have provided nothing but Trump like hyperbole. You also failed to see the point of my example in the first place. He asked for proof of democracies and I provided it. Now, he also said show one with the freedoms we enjoy and that is the fallacy part of his statement and yours. LGBT don't enjoy the same freedoms here and have been killed for being who they are, in this country. Women are still not equal on many levels as men (wage gap is a prime example) and the religious right is still trying to tell everyone else what to do with their bodies and whom they do it with in their own bedroom. That is not freedom. That is not equality. That is not democracy. You simply cannot tell me otherwise given the actual facts. Democracy in this country is a front.

    Why this had to be explained to him, I haven't the foggiest. Rental companies have been doing this for decades so it should be no problem for Cadillac.

    Given the hostility towards Muslims, immigrants in general, and LGBT here, how are we much different? Btw, we are not a democracy so that's a bit of a fallacy argument. Oh oh and here's your list of democratic countries that have Muslim majorities. https://www.quora.com/Which-Muslim-majority-countries-are-the-most-democratic bear in mind, I'm not trying to make distinctions where certain freedoms are concerned because, again, this country doesn't have a whole lot of room to talk about freedoms and equal treatment.

    Was white supremacist Dylan Roof included in that equation? Furthermore some of the homegrown attacks here, that ISIS is taking credit for, really can't be attributed to those idiots. Take the Orlando shooter for example. He can pledge to ISIS on the internet until the cows come home but that doesn't make him anymore of an ISIS fighter. It's like Johnny Redneck going out and killing five black people and claiming his allegiance to the KKK before killing himself, even though he never attended one meeting. My point is that you have to look through the distortion field as it relates to these home grown terrorist types. Some of them are just going to commit these acts no matter who they pledge their allegiance to. All they are looking for is opportunity and their 15 minutes, which our sorry media happily gives them.

    Sure there is no colonial like action going on but just one look at the many GOP sponsored bills being thrown around from one state to the next right now (that has nothing to with jobs, economy, or anything for the sort) shows that religious influence is still very much a huge factor in governing for a lot of folks and it is a problem and it was all set up over the last 200+ years in this country by a dominant and controlling religion. I simply will never ignore that simple fact when I hear folks talking about how bad Muslims are. Btw, I am no way advocating what the radicals are doing but there is a clear separation between them and most Muslims when they are indiscriminately killing other Muslims.
  24. surreal1272
    I see what you're saying but it does have a bearing on the present and that's my point. It's a perpetual cycle of one religion trying to dominate all others and it all has to stop because even if we stop radical Islam today, there is another radical religion waiting in the wings. History has proven that and we can't ignore it just because it is more convenient to speak of only what's happening right now.
  25. surreal1272
    That "like" was for the first paragraph. The rest of it still sidesteps history. Example? Christianity only seems peaceful now because they used the previous 2000 years or so to violently spread their beliefs and force it upon others. Sound familiar?
