    The Camaro beat out the Mustang for COTY? He never said that. It's easy to deduce what is meant here is that the year before, the Mustang did not get COTY while the Camaro did the next year.

    Says the Ford fan. I rest my case. How exactly is he a Ford fan? Good grief man. Why be an ass about everything?

    The 2 Series is bigger and RWD so it really doesn't have much in common with the 1 other than "replacing" it. The 135i was RWD as well My bad. Just saw that. Why in the hell would they go the Mercedes route and dumb it down to FWD?On a side note, Make one little error and three people are there to pounce right on it. RWD. Got it.

    Here is the offers in my zip code 98034 and no cash on camaro, but cash on Corvette and SS. July2016PNW-Offers.jpg That's the exact same "deal" they are running on Camaros here. Proof can be a powerful thing as opposed to just saying it's so.

    Don't know about other locations but the only Camaro deals on Chevrolets website is for special financing deals but no cash back. Any cash back deals are coming only from select dealers from what I've seen. http://m.chevrolet.com/current-deals.html?vehicle=&zipcode=85345

    Sorry but there was absolutely no real reason for the 1 series to ever exist here. Good riddance. China can have that junk.

    My question is why are they having so much trouble making lower trim models available? That makes no sense almost a year later.
  9. surreal1272
    That is the most asinine thing you've said on this entire thread.

    Funny you mention Knight Rider when they used a Mustang for the horrible reboot.
  11. surreal1272
    You have literally missed every point. I guess that's what happens when you constantly have to deflect your double standards.Btw, who said Cadillac is a performance brand? They are a luxury brand with some performance models. That's your problem. You imagine scenarios that have never been brought up because no one else would be naive enough to do such things.
  12. surreal1272
    Does Cadillac need a 500 hp Sedan? Crossovers outsell sedans gang, and are rising, sedans are falling. No point in having V-series at all if you only have 2 V products in shrinking segments. And Cadillac wants to go to Europe, the top 5 Established luxury brands in Europe (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, JLR) all make performance crossovers. A 500HP sedan makes more sense than a 500HP CUV. The fact that this has to be explained to you is baffling and would also fly in the face of the several 500HP sedans Mercedes offers.

    You have to be $h!ting me. I'm with Balth. The X3 M is an answer to a question that no one is asking. Also, those things are hideous on outside and the inside. Simply hideous.
  14. surreal1272
    And that is obviously just your OPIIIIINION!
  15. surreal1272
    You are still pulling numbers out of your posterior though. The XT5 is 300lbs. lighter than the SRX which will give it a far better weight bias. It still doesn't take away from the fact that even less than favorable reviews of it have remarked about its better than average handling characteristics due to the AWD system. Face it. No matter what facts are in front of you, you will continue to come up with pie in the sky excuses as to why any given Cadillac can't succeed. That's all I'm going to say because I'm not going to waste anymore space here talking to a biased brick wall about cars.
  16. surreal1272
    And your post says "stalker alert!"!
  17. surreal1272
    Now back up your AWD weight bias with facts and not pseudo numbers. The XT5 weight bias is now where near that. The AWD biases torque to the rear anyway. Again, it's driving dynamics have been well reviewed up to this point. Maybe you should actually read about it instead of giving hypothetical reasons why it sucks ass.It is nice to know that you always have an excuse for Mercedes and how the issues that affect a FWD Cadillac doesn't affect them.
  18. surreal1272
    Again, I'm going to stop you right there. It's driving dynamics have been well reviewed so, again, you're showing your bias and ignorance. Your only case against its dynamics is that it's FWD which could also be applied to the FWD GLA. Besides, there's this little thing called AWD that is a great equalizer. That's what most Euro snobs want anyway. Do you see the problem with your assessment yet?
  19. surreal1272
    The funny part of it all was seeing all the anti-GM crowd burst into flames after seeing their MT pro-GM talk get thoroughly debunked.
  20. surreal1272
    Sorry but I'm going to stop you right there. You clamor on and on when you can tout MBs sales superiority. Comparing the XT5 to the DTS is just beyond ignorant and just plain dumb. Also, acting like the Euro market is the barometer for performance shows your blindness right there. The XT5 is just as capable of success there as the FWD GLA does here. Bringing up dynamics shows that you know next to nothing about how most Cadillacs actually drive these days. While the snob crowd can knit pick silly things like how a damn dash board feels (who the hell is touching their dash while their driving anyway?), they cannot knock the driving dynamics of the alpha and omega platforms. It's just plain ignorant for you to even bring that up just because you think Europe is the be all, end all in determining how good a car is. Good grief.

    Yup...you are right! You build cars...just not diesel powered ones.... Lie. Cheat. Steal. That is what any sane company should do? Price of beef is sky high where Im at in my neck of the woods... Ive got government regs up my ass to conform to hygiene and food safety...(I own a hot dog joint, it makes good money) Ive got rules to follow concerning employees, their salary, their employment and their well being... According to you...I should just skip any law that I deem to be over-reaching and unreasonable? (Because there are many....) So...I should get my meat from roadkill and stray dogs and cats so I could boost my profits....Because the price of beef is sky high...(the air that you breathe is just as important...) You could argue all day long about airplanes and boats and factories spewing all kinds of crap in the air while I could do the same for all the crooked bankers and CEOs out there.... Laws are NOT meant to be broken....and if they are....DONT GET CAUGHT!!! VW got caught. End of story. Sure mate, it's the American way. Tax on tea went up a penny, we revolted, threw the buggers out. And it's been that way ever since. It isn't as if VW built naturally aspirated diesels with open exhausts. The engine was clean just not California clean. No harm, no foul. It really is more important that automobiles remain cheap enough for common people to purchase. Otherwise we risk the government taxing autos out of existence or into the hands of the very rich. And I wouldn't like that very much. You do realize that Germany, where they are headquartered, also burned them for their deceit right? What's the excuse there?
  22. surreal1272
    Cadillacs are completely competitive in design, amenities, tech, mileage, & performance.The Germans have been 'caught' in the major segments. ^^This! What else would you expect him to say though?
  23. surreal1272
    No. You're really not when you wish for the demise of an American car company.
  24. surreal1272
    If you love bad press on American car company, then do not ever call yourself a car fan.
  25. surreal1272
    There have already been dismissals as well for those Impala spindle suits for same reasons already mentioned, prebankruptcy GM. The courts that dismissed a few of those cases did that specifically for that reason.
