Ohhhhhhhhh crap what happened? The whole country has lost its mind...now get off of my grass!

That would be a painfully boring stretch to drive.

Self driving cars would be ideal for both parties, as their is no one awake at the wheel in Washington...

In the rolling Junk yards of Ohio highways 80's and 90's American Iron is not uncommon... Obviously this 247 Mile per hour Mustang proves how bad domestic cars really are....maybe he should be Fond of Honda?

Yes, an AMG Benz can outrun a Cruze...next please...!

Once again, I would upvote this by a hundred if I could... See if you had just bought a Lexus you could go another 475,000 miles before you needed an oil change...!

I love that Era of Scout...

There are a lot of other cars I would prefer though. One can hope.Ohh the transition is inevitable I think.Irony of Ironies, my sons friend Paul has a 2008 ES 350 that blew both head gaskets. He bought it dirt cheap when the previous owner did not want tor repair it. At least a sexually indecent act could get your neighbor into a Cadillac...there are no sexual acts on the planet that could tempt me to spend my own money on a late model Benz. They built some cool stuff in the 60's and 70's though. His strategy of lecturing us and making up data, and wild claims about Cadillac, seems rather less than rational at winning us over to German automobiles.having worked in the trades for years I can second this so strongly. Look at a large construction site...why do you see a bunch of twenty year old Ford and GM products but the only Sprinter is six months old? You are clinically insane if you think a 2008 Lexus will go a half million miles without an oil change. I have friends that run Repair business with a foreign car specialty. Lexus is not bullet proof. They are multiple orders of magnitude better than the Mercedes Benz though.Why do we keep talking about every car on the planet other than the Cadillac in the OP? I see a link to a 67 Grand Prix and discussion of exotic Rolls Royce and articles linked in Arabic. This is not a zero sum game. Both Mercedes Benz and Cadillac can succeed or fail.You will see this come up a good bit. One of my SCCA friends has a Cruze hatch, and regularly sees in the mid 40's on the road! And he's not even a gentle driver by any means. Verano is really nice but I could see a car a few inches smaller for urban driving. I also like the outward visibility better on the Cruze hatch than the Verano. Verano was an astonishingly nice car for its price point though...Real world experience with people I know would bear these numbers out quite well. Neighbor behind me just bought a new V6 LaCrosse and he was really astonished at the fuel economy gains he was getting over his previous Buick Century. His numbers were right in line with what you were giving... Not that he could complain about his Century, he drove it 20 years and it has 300,000 miles on it trouble free...and is going to his son to drive for a first car.Funny, all but two of my neighbors that were never going to buy a domestic when I moved in to my house 15 years ago are now driving domestic cars. It is a shockingly dismal car....Ev's will make people forget all about Gasoline powered cars when they finally take over. Think of how far ahead we would be right now if we had started the transition to electric in the 1970's...
