  1. I'm still stuck on the : "Most people will not even know how to use it when they need it." As in it is a real issue with some one hitting a switch these days😥 FOH Took this guy about 30 seconds to explain it.
  2. First off U like what U like.. I don't want to be devoid of choices in driving. I don't to except the fact that I can't turn it off when an option out there says I can. BTW.. U can turn the AWD system in the XT5 and Acadia while driving. It takes like a like a millisecond.. so where is the wait? "Most people will not even know how to use it when they need it." So that's where the dumbing down of Americans is coming from?🤔 Sales people should explain it at purchase time.. or how about this.. buyers actually use their brains and find out about it from the manual or even this extremely convenient thing called Google or Utube() I won;t even get into how your mentality had some MORON almost die in his Cadillac XLR because his battery apparently died and he was locked in the car because the door looks and handles are electric. He didn't realize that salvation was literally 6 inches away... a manual door release that is clearly shown in his manual. Fire Dept burst his window.. and he only had to pay for it being replaced instead of him DYING for being an idiot
  3. And U won't.. because Cadillac is a luxury brand.. and for some reason, just because the have the V designated vehicles people suddenly, by default, see them as a brand that has to have everything look like it should be on the track. The XT6 is hardly bland looking... In fact it actually is as exciting looking as anything coming out of the World's Ultimate Driving Machine.. So I'm wondering.. do U throw the same rhetoric and confusion on the Germans? Just mystified as to how the hell, or WHY, a big CUV needs to look like it goes around the Nur'Ring
  4. Only one Chinese made GM vehicle currently on sale here in America.. so.. What the heck was your point again? Oh.. just trying to be sassy I guess. And if U see Wings.. tell him I said "*** U"
  5. Of course U do.. and U did. Yay for me. And I have to say again that CHOICE is always better.. I want things that can be turned off and on.. and so do many on these forums. Just start a conversation about Start/Stop and U'll see. So choice is better
  6. Proof that it has a better AWD system.. and I want it now. Because the AWD system in the MDX is said to be the same as in the damn vehicle the Blazer just BEAT Forgot about them.. but they have some of their shares visibly owned by Daimler and Toyota.. so I don't know. Just know that I hate foreign. Tell every one I said its cool to down vote that too as well as the post where I cursed out a supposed old couple in a Ram 😂
  7. Exactly this. MT and the rest should do nothing but promote DOMESTICS. FUKK the rest. By Domestics I mean GM and Ford
  8. Yeah.. but GM has a lot of choices.. if U are gonna say GM. No other company currently splits even its Pick-Up truck business like GM does. 805K between the Silvie and Sierra.. then another 168K between the Colo/Canyon..= 973K Trucks in all 282K BIG SUVS and then 245K C2Xx (Enclave/Acadia/XT5/Traverse) and the Blazer and XT6 hadn't even added to that yet.

  10. CT6 9969 Continental 8758 LS 9302 A8 1599 7series 8271 SClass. 14, 978 XTS 17,727 units Also I will add that the CT6 sold 17,223 in China
  11. Mary Barra should not have anything to do with this considering Mark Reuss still retains the duties of global product chief as well as President last I checked. The CEO and Chair shouldn't be dabbling in product. Too many other things to do.
  12. I think its crazy.. like Dwight said.. a gimmick.. but to many a luxo buyer.. its something that makes their brand seem more luxo. In truth what I do to all my cars, is stick these clips in the bottom blower down by the passenger side foot-well instead of the dash vent. I don't like seeing them and this emits a scent without blasting U in the face
  13. II agree. But the truth of the matter is the base trims at Cadillac need to go. They end up working against the brand. Unfortunately Cadillac, the once great leader of luxury, has more to prove to people who would rather ignore them than take notice. Not because they don't offer luxo, but because they fumbled 20 years ago. Think about it. Cadillac was the luxury leader from 1920-1990. I'm not talking just sales.. but in actual luxury. They became complacent, rested on their rep for too long and then just like that.. perfect timing the Foreign brands swooped in and took their crown. No one can take a 1984 Cadillac Seville and then get into a 1984 S-Class and say the Benz was better. But now Cadillac is the "new comer" They have the product, they have the engineering.. they just need to "show constraint here and go full throttle there" FULL THROTTLE means the XT6 shouldn't be a 3.6L even when the actual demo will never use even that 310HP.. It should be the on the shelf 400HP engine. "The 2 scent dispensers for your cabin integrated into the climate control" are tacky but.. its opulence.. and that is the epitome of luxury. BTW.. Cadillac does have external surround-view video and recording system
  14. I hate your guts.. but I can't believe I'm saying it.. for once in a long time we are of like mind. ARGHH!!!! Who wa sin charge of Cadillac back in 2006 when this whole thing with Platinum came about? This was in fact during the BLING BLING years in Pop culture.. so that explains the metal obsession. U're right tho.. Cadillac should abandon all of this BS and actually steal one more thing from the past and offer packaging. I'd seriously call it SERIES instead of Package. Similar in the way the 7Series can be optioned (Quick point of fact.. the Series Fleetwood 75 in 1976 had a 252.2 in (6,406 mm) Wheel base, meaning its wheelbase was longer than a SUBURBAN in length from bumper to bumper)
  15. Nice write up.. I would love to get the person who makes the decisions on what needs to be in Cadillac's trim portfolio, and also what needs to be presented at Auto Shows. I would definitely go at him/her with some Jack Bauer style interrogation methods.. to the point that what I see above never happened again. WHY THE f@#kKK!!! is the BASE interior out on the floor? WHY THE f@#kKK!!! does the base interior even exist? WHY THE f@#kK!!! does Cadillac even care about someone entering into the brand in their, now, sole big car at the"Luxury" car's price? This car, with Premium Lux upgrades is a legitimate 7Series competitor.. with the Platinum and V8.. S-Class competitor.. and even I will admit that it is that last combo that is really what gives it a chance to be on level with the S560. THAT is what should have been on the floor when U got to take pics. Softer leather, Suede headliner.. and so many more WOW qualities that make people WANT to buy. I'm continuously convinced that it is actually not the cars, the engineering.. the design.. the capabilities.. that are lacking at GM, but the IDIOTS that are left to make decisions about the wants and needs of people buying the vehicles. Hell based on the website, U can only get two combinations of color interiors on the Platinum.. but 7 combos on the Premium Lux. That makes sense to who exactly.. and even that U have to play around with. f@#kK moving from Detroit to NYC.. Cadillac actually needs to move to Atlanta or San Fran. I won't say why, but the culture there would add some "flare" to the mix. Being run by men from the mid-west just isn't doing it any favors in the interior department as far as colors. This is what should have been on the floor.. to hell with the fingerprints and clean up after They have the interiors.. in all of their products.. its just that they have lower trims that house the stuff that gives them a bad name.. and what makes it worse.. the MORON that sends out the press cars.. the ones that get the reviews.. only likes to send out the "Luxury" models so they can advertise that it only cost "$54K." Who the hell are U selling to Cadillac? People who can buy these things with a quip of a signature at the bottom of a check.. or a SOB that is sitting there worried about his 650 Fico not getting him approved for financing? Even if.. EVEN IF!!! U still make him want it so bad he'll do anything to get there. That interior above.. is like the one I saw a few weeks ago in a Crystal White CT6 3.0LTT Plat.. I told my guy when that comes in with a TTV8 and a V on the back.. call me. My lady concurred. Her 73 and 70 year old father and mother have a '17 S550 and the Platinum interior is easily on par with it's (the S550) beige interior.. BUT Cadillac seemingly doesn';t want U to kno this🤨
  16. All opinion.. and to be honest I thinking your opinion isn't worth $h!. The interior of the XT6, if it is on XT5 Premium Lux or Platinum levels is better than many of the German ones. Sorry. The 3.6L corporate V6 is actually a damn fine engine. When Turbocharged it becomes even more so. f@#kk Germany. f@#kk German cars. f@#kk those who like them
  17. F**K That!!! I mean the BS stupidity that says that this 2020 Cadillac XT6 Priced from $53,690 should be cheaper than the Aviator. Why? Why should it be? Cadillac is no longer needing to discount to prove itself. Lincoln does. Lets not forget that in the eyes of the public.. Lincoln may as well not even exist. Furthermore most of the public has a perception of Lincoln that is AT BEST.. on par with Buick. Actually lower in many minds. Even the Navigator doesn't elicit the same respect one would think it should be the pre-cursor of the might Cadillac Escalade. Cadillac shouldn't even be still offering a base or lux model of the CT6. It should be Premium Lux, Platinum, V. What makes RWD so great in these CUVs? Really.. what's the advantage in COST? TTV6 as a standard??? Who is your audience? I've gone on record saying that the Cadillac XT6 and 5 need to have a TTV6 OPTION.. but a base?? The 2.0L or 3.6L are the way to go in this category. Why? Because women are the effing buyers. And By and By the women in this segment could care less about what the so called ENTHUSIASTS want. They (women) just don't normally give a damn and ENTHUSIASTS don't normally buy new cars. I don't hear this BS when so many of U praise VOLVO.. and their X90 that starts off at $47K but gives U a blazing 250HP and FWD. In fact.. with that vehicle in order to even get to 300HP U spend $56K.. on a effing VOLVO. The more than likely slower Audi Q7 costs $55K with similar HP as the XT6. Why shouldn't Cadillac be priced like the legendary quality of Audi? Oooops.. I didn't mean to include quality in the same sentence as AUDI.
  18. No anguish over the Cadillac. Its still here and will probably still remain, along with the CTS-V until the CT4 and CT5 Vs arrive. The Coupe CTS-V did the same thing back in 2014 even tho the new CTS was out. So for '14 and 15 we actually have a Gen 3 CTS and a Gen 2 CTS Coupe (V) selling side by side both brand new. For '16.. the CTS Coupe was gone. I'll take off the LaX .. and replace it with the Cascada.. another Buick that had mad potential
  19. 1) Volt. So much I love about this vehicle, but alas its too small for me. In the end scenario Voltech really is being beaten by GM's own pure EV tech and higher range. Bet good money that the next EV announced by GM is 300+ range 2) This car is still going to be sold all over the world.. but American consumer's NON-ENTHUSIASTIC spirit.. and a new love of top heavy CUVs helped kill this here. Gorgeous.. and GM really should reconsider this move, if with no other iteration but the Hatch. Kill the sedan.. but keep the hatch and flesh it out. SS, RS, come up with a 1LE type suspension, continue with diesel.. get fancy with it and offer a Premier with almost lux finishing. Allow crazy customization. 3) Talk about a car that is SLEPT ON. Despite this big car getting 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 14.2 seconds at 99.7 mph... Buick should have beat a heavy drum and got access to the LF3 for this vehicle (same for Chevy and the Impala). That would have shaved another 6/10ths off I bet. One of the quietest cars U will ever get into. Makes the S-Class seem noisy. Vault like. Overall a very nice luxury car that really never got the market push as it simply arrived as the CUV boom was in full effect. I am seriously still considering one as a replacement for my almost 100K mile '14 Impala LTZ 4) This car is actually a very nice place o be.. Trouble is that it just can't touch the CT6. It's a weird thing.. left over from GM's emergence from BK. Selling over 300K since it came out, reaping in massive profits due to its shared platform.. its big like a CT6, but costs the exact same as a CTS. And there in lies a problem for the two of them. If U are a traditional Cadillac buyer.. or just a drifty luxo buyer.. the XTS would steal the sale from either. I actually think that if the CUV craze hadn't happened and the XTS was leaving.. U wold instantly see its sales divided between the CT6 and CTS(5) 5) Don't hate me GM. The only Benz I would consider buying is the CL..er S-Class Coupe S63AMG, and she got canceled this week along withteh S-Class Cabriolet. I mean its a Coupe.. and its big. If Cadillac was making a CT6 Coupe in 2.0L only.. I'd probably replace me CTS-V with it. Bet! A CT6-V Coupe??? I'd go bareback in the singer PINK.. 🤢.
