  1. Yep....writing has been on the wall for quite some time now. Working for the auto industry gave me quite some insight on so many things... Guess I could repeat what I said on facebook about the same matter.... It's about time- I fear GM may be late to the party.....again.......
  2. Kinda what I thought for a minute too... I can buy my own damn weather Techs......
  3. Lol... There are some diehards out there....my guess is that they may end up with something korean......
  4. While true, the same can't be said for the CTS/ATS....... The CT6 is the shining example there..... And it's not the volume that worries me....it's the fact it can't sell the number that it did before. That's where it is losing. This is where GM need to do something if they really want to keep all of them going. Like maybe advertise more, offer packages, heck, good lease rates... Confuses me with GM wants this division to be top dog, but not treat it as such....
  5. Good to hear....I do know that the folks who have gotten one seem to really like them.....
  6. Hard to beat Fleetwood Mac though!
  7. The point is more that they are not doing what they said they would do- giving the "other guys" a run for their money sales wise. Doesn't matter if I(or you) think they are good- the consumer is simply not buying them, that's all. Besides, better to lose a battle than the war... But pretty much every other car is selling too....or has a big brother with money that can afford this....GM simply can't-they have to look at the whole picture, and other divisions as well. Caddy really needs another C/SUV. so they can make some money here. Once they get a few successful models out, then we could worry a little more about the sedans again. Besides, you know I want to see Caddy succeed too......
  8. They will just keep them forever then....
  9. Have not been able to go the last few years, but plan to go this year. Just wondering if anyone might be on Woodward this year?
  10. This means I have to go way back...
  11. This here, is the money shot. There's no way in hell Caddy can continue with all the sedans it has now.....unless they have some really great plan to go against BMW/Benz sedans head to head, the story is over and they have lost. It's not a fight worth continuing, as money is needed elsewhere (CUV/SUV) to keep profit going within the division. Sales don't lie, and rebates are not going to help..... Another big player ignored here is the economy. With all the drama going on, I can't blame folks for second guessing their purchases. Heck, it has me rethinking mine. This, along with all the lease returns, is causing the sales slide. And I expect it to get worse. So if grandpa or Aunt josie decide to not to get that Impy or buick or even malibu, it's going to really make automakers really look just what they want to keep now- and these 6 can easily grow a larger list......
  12. It's just tough because of where cars sales might go. It's tough as I agree-it would be a waste to kill it now. But if car sales decline at a bigger rate than expected-there may not be much of a choice.....
  13. Eh, they're both toast at some point. In the near future, I really think we are looking at 30k as the new entry level.......
  14. Wow...got this one on the nose! As much as it breaks my heart to say that-GM doesn't need any of these models anymore....(good bye, Impy. ) With cars now on the forever slide, better keep the most popular ones now. Though they could bring them back if they needed to (like the colorado) I'm going to miss the days of all the choices we had, but with the market on the downward trend- they are trying to keep their best choices around.... Maybe I'll look into GM's last american made compact before it heads to mexico.... Though I say after looking at the hatch, quality won't suffer though.... Also figure this will only be the first round of model cuts.....
  15. Nice...will be looking forward to it! Now using them for ride sharing options would make sense. Though I have my doubts that FCA is ready for the big time in this case with issues with their stuff in general. I do like the wireless charging option....let's hope that they can do that. I hope that they can get it right, as the vans themselves are quite nice......
  16. Still wondering how well this will do as a minivan model.... I just don't see many buying these.....most families can barely remember to change the oil, so plugging in could be interesting....
  17. What's most important to me....sounds like a fun drive! Besides, you pays full price anymore anyways.....
  18. Nope....not sure of the point on it here though.... Don't see the soccer moms buying these....
  19. Always loved the Tibbys....I think if I could still find a good SS out there, I might jump on it..... Look great!! Not bad...makes the Cruze a pretty good deal.....
  20. This is the best they could do? It's going to be 70k grand Nissan truck....and ugly to boot.... My thoughts.....
  21. Agreed....almost gives it a different look.....
  22. I like it....simple and clean, without a wing.....
