4.3L turbo syclone and typhoon please.

I have not driven one, but it seems to me like making a twin turbo Lexus ES or the MKS Ecoboost is the best comparison. In the MKS's case the power is nice for more straight line power, but you still don't have handling. 400 hp makes sense in the CTS since it has the chassis to handle it, it makes less sense in an XTS. A driving enthusiast is going to pick the CTS over the XTS because the CTS will always handle better due to less weight, 50/50 balance, rwd, etc. Acura could make a 420 hp RLX, yet it won't be as good as a CTS or 5-series because it is a FWD Accord underneath. Putting 400 hp in an Acura, Lincoln, Volvo or XTS is basically pointless from a driving standpoint, from a business standpoint it makes sense because there are always people that will pay the extra $5000 for power they can't really use.

The XTS is a far better handler than the MKS Ecoboost and a universe beyond the ES. With the Magnetic ride control and AWD that can and does bias to the rear, GM can make the platform do whatever they want. You really need to drive the car aggressively like I've had the chance to, back to back with an E-Class.

I really hope GM develops a performance AWD system now that AMG has shown how effective one can be.

To all the people that say GM can not make this a great handling car let me remind them what GM did with FWD cars like the Cobalt SS and Buick GS. I get very interested in this car thinking of what GM could do with an AWD system on it.

that car looks so sexy it is not even funny.

do they still do tax breaks for these types of cars?

I do not buy new cars but the volt really tempted me and this ELR is calling me.

I keep hearing the ELR being compared to the Tesla and I hope that GM understands the performance/economy balance that Tesla has is the wining formula in this low volume segment.

IF A SMALL COMPANY LIKE TESLA CAN MAKE THE MODEL S COMPETITIVE SO CAN GM!!

i have read that this is not true, has anyone confirmed this.

that G wagon should have a great tow rating.

I think this car will be lighter than the cts v and have a even better tuned suspension.

This may preview the SS track pack.

Wow, I am impressed with all of this on 87 .

my typhoon was faster in the quarter stock 13.1, looks great rimes are awful.

would be nice if this had enough success to convince Cadillac to make their halo car a Converj that could go fast or an electric Cien.

I think i would have to compare it to a current SI sedan to see how different they look. i would also like to see if the base model styling of the concept does not look boring like the current model.

Yeah, the one site that I remove links to when I can.

But I've also sent an email to Cadillac to get some more information about this announcement.

sorry forgot i can not post links like that.

So shiny bezels, narrow and slight sharp edge on the cup holder over rides Ride, quietness, powertrain, front-seat comfort, fit and finish, crash-test results?

Dang them Koreans they have the lead on Cup holders and dull interiors and who cares how it drives or hold up in a crash.

The funny part is if GM had built the wide car it would be too wide for easy driving.

I think we here at C&G should rate CR as toilet paper. Pages are bit sharp and could cause Cheek paper cuts and the ruff paper could cause chafing and roids. We found the quality of the paper is too thin and could cause failure while wiping.

We rate CR below average and should not be considered good enough to wipe your butt with.

We recomend you should stay with the Sear catalog and We do not recomend CR for even for puppy training and it should be dispose of in the proper way buy use in the bottom of as bird cage.

this 2005 smart is 9800.00 and the listing says No gimmicks actual price.

autotrader

since it only has 24,000 miles you can always put a small turbo on it and really keep up with those cabs.

what is your price range for a car?

YES, I love this and the german (I think its called DTM) racing. Anything with close to stock looking cars racing is my cup of tea.

I used to give that publication the benefit of the doubt but I do not any more, not because what they say about American cars I like but because of what they have said about German and Asian cars. As a used car dealer I speek with many people and see many cars and know that a lot publication just give the foreghn auto maker the benifit of the doubt.

80 billion ? How much did the US give fanny and freddy? With all the oil money over there this should be a baby bail out.

I think it is a nice looking little car and of the three concepts I did vote for this one so I gess I am in the majority

I am at a loss for words makes me want to take mine out of storage and wax it.

I shouldn't have looked...

Ahhh,,,,

a SHO police car with turbos and AWD sounds very expensive when it will come to maintenance and having more working parts to need spares for.
