So it’s $62K this year and then it’ll be $59K for 2020? Am I misreading that or is GM drunk?

On a much better note, I am out of my arm sling officially. Have another follow up visit in two weeks and then start two to three months of physical therapy. That I am not looking forward to that because I still can’t raise my arm above shoulder height without severe pain but I’m sure they are to “make it” get there lol.

Oh good grief. Get over yourself. I’ve never not once said that I haven’t misconstrued a post from time to time but there are other posts that are quite obvious as to their intent like the severe misquote of my post yesterday to suit someone’s trolling agenda. To me, that is a crossing a certain line. You’re as guilty of it as I am yet you tip toe around your own role in it (like the screenshot I posted of your Trump/me insult). You also have a context of conversation issue but I’m not going to dwell on it. I laugh at it quite honestly and I sure as $h! don’t owe you any further explanation for a behavior that you, yourself, have also taken part in. Yeah, just bury the Hummer name entirely of you ask me. There are many good ways to implemented the use of EVs but stamping the Hummer name on it isn’t one of them.

“Playing”?? And why would you think he was referencing you with that remark? He was talking about the RAM and the old notion of rednecks and their “chew”. Do you own a RAM? If not, then it is pretty clear he was talking about you personally. It was merely a funny comment.

Apparently Cadillac padded an extra $3K to it. I’m glad they dropped the 2.0 but that’s an $11K increase over the $51K model. That’s a big jump even with AWD and a V6 standard.

These are actually good moves by Cadillac. The price increase was expected since they were dropping the four pot. Making AWD standard on the base 3.6L is a very smart move. Whether it helps sales or not is another matter in this CUV world but it’s a smart move nonetheless.

The extra luxury does not cover those old school truck bones unfortunately. Not a bad thing if you don’t mind that kind of ride but it’s definitely not for everyone. It’s taller than the 4 Runner stance also does not help. It’s why is just go with a 4 Runner and call it a day.

Very true. It may be dated but it is damn near bullet proof. At least it also has those proven 4 Runner bones. Personally I’d take a 4 Runner over the GX but I guess if one wants a little more luxury, you couldn’t beat the reliability of the GX.

Fact is that Mercedes will continue to get away with selling a sizeable portion of the “best or nothing” to the fleet buyers while brands like Cadillac would catch never ending hell for doing such things. Like Drew alluded to, MB would be in the financial doghouse if not for the taxi buying folks.

Bringing up a soon to be dead model like...

Do you seriously think that they won’t continue to supply the taxi industry with more just because it’s a 2020 model? You have split that hair into oblivion at this point. (Stupid GIF aside)

Maybe they are going the Mercedes route (G Wagon) and waiting ten more years before they finally update it properly. It worked for them. It could work for Lexus.

Only the LC500 gives that grill a proper look IMO. The rest of them should be taken out back and beaten with a shovel.

You were the one splitting hairs and making irrelevant comparisons to a discontinued car. I’ve made my point and I’ll stand by it. If they haven’t considered it they should. Cadillac has a long history in that market and it should really keep that position.

Because you’re splitting hairs in an attempt to show how much better the E Class is than the XTS. That’s not even up for debate. Yes, the E Class is better than the XTS but not really better than the CT6 that will continue to be sold. That “will continue to be sold” part is the key part of this. The only one confused about that appears to be you.

Doesn’t matter. It is done. There is no 2020 and that’s just the fact of the matter. The CT6 will probably pick up in fleet numbers as a result.

I was not crazy about the previous Colorado, namely the I5 but I would have the new one (or its Canyon twin) in a heartbeat if I were in the market for one. I got a lot of behind the wheel time in them last year when I was working part time at a nearby Chevy dealership. Drove the bass four banger, the V-6 (my personal preference), and the diesel (surprisingly spry but just not a diesel fan). They all share good traits, like a great ride and common sense and well laid out controls. I don’t get the criticisms about the look personally. It’s a truck, not a luxury car. As long as it’s put together well, that’s more important than the look and “soft touch” materials. Yes chewing tobacco, the most disgusting use of a useless product. Hell, I’m personally glad that I never even smoked a cigarette, especially during my first 35 years in the biggest tobacco producing state in the country (NC).

Hello? Anybody actually listening? Your comment was irrelevant since the XTS is no longer and the CT6 is better than the fleet queen E Class I’m so many ways. Stop being a sensitive Sandy about it ?

The GX is a complete waste of an SUV. How they can butcher the 4 Runner and convert it to this monstrosity is beyond me. Just hideous.

...To *get* it done.

Stop being a baby unless you want me to start changing words in your posts. This is just dumb. I do want to thank you for proving that you really aren’t capable of having an adult discussion about anything you don’t like. Just level 11 jackassery. Damn autocorrect. That should read “making THEM even better”.

The Boeing 737 was a Boeing error. This is already been established. Boeing screwed up big time. Regarding the B-52, yes they aren’t building anymore. Maybe they should because past attempts to replace with garbage like the B1 Bomber have been failures. The B-52 is a rare case of “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it” (or try to replace it). All that money wasted to replace could have been rerouted towards making more and making than even better.

I’m sure it will be, at almost triple the initial cost estimate.

Contrary to whatever you may think, no one is trying to piss you off. You do a fine enough of pissing yourself off. Example: you focus on the piss itself as opposed the manner by which it is actually useful. It just proves my statement about those who only want to find the negative in things they fear. Yes, I said it. Fear.

While very unconventional, I say why the hell not? Even in “raw” form, it’s far less foul smelling and it’s vapors won’t cause $h! to burst into flames. I’m sure the thought of fossil fuels was a little unconventional back in the day as well. Of course some only like to focus on the negative and when that happens, negative is all they will ever see.
