  1. For all their flaws, they are certainly better now than anything from Alfa, not mention the jobs kept here by producing Chrysler and Dodge products.
  2. Your description is the very definition of the word "ally" and Saudi Arabia most certainly is not. I do agree with you about the old world mentality which I have said for years that we should cut off all ties with all of them, not just the ones that are convenient excuses for the news of the day. We damn sure don't need that oil when we have plenty here and in Canada.
  3. I will keep this simple. There are people in this country already who want plenty of folks dead, and not just the Muslim scapegoats that are conveniently mentioned here. And if you believe that Saudi Arabia is our ally and shares intel then I have a bridge to sell you. 9/11 intel proved that.
  4. Just think if the Native Americans had the foresight to build a wall in 1490. That is all I'm going to say about this immigration nonsense because I don't want to get banned for verbal disembowelment. About the ban list, I'll just say this. You can't call it securing our country when you don't include the country responsible for the most deaths on US soil. It is a joke in clown shoes.
  5. What if I have 60 midgets? If it only carries 58 then that is a deal breaker for me. Get your act together Cadillac!!
  6. Fun fact #2 Ford fleet sales-52,212 GM fleet sales-40,899
  7. Heres another fun fact. The Suburban had a better January than the Expedition and Navigator combined. We don't even need to mention Tahoe sales, which continues to beat its competitors by a mile.
  8. Cadillac will not nor does it ever need an SUV/CUV above the Escalade. If this has to be explained again, then there is simply no helping you. Filling a small niche market (in this case, useless V12 CUVs) is just dumb. Finally, why are you bringing up Bentley and Rolls, two makes that even your Benz can't compete with 98% of the time (Maybach anyone?)? Talk about moving a bar that no one but you cares about.
  9. This ^^ because you pretty much covered what I was going to say. It's January so big whoop.
  10. Again, pure conjecture since the current Slade is already good enough to beat the supposedly more advanced GL, Silverado bones and all. For the record, an Omega could happen but not at the expense of the current Slade. It doesn't need to and that is what you don't get here while you constantly try to knock Cadillac down a peg.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. So a 6000 lb. SUV with a V6 could do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds? Want to explain the physics behind that?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. So Mr. Not nOOB, what would you use?
