Has a hint of Z-car. After all the fits and starts with this car, does anyone care anymore? Subaru has handled the lead-up much better, IMO, as we haven't already seen like a dozen different versions of their car. It will be fresh when it is finally revealed.

That nasty automanual transmission is to blame for Focus and Fiesta's problems. They should ditch it for a conventional 6 speed automatic, for people who wish to sap the life out of their compacts by not shifting for themselves like God intended.

Well then, you're ahead of a wave that might never come. Gas prices are expected to drop throughout the rest of this year, and that can only mean hybrids will sell even worse than they do now.

I think this is more a junior sports car than a next-gen Supra would be. But there hasn't been a RWD Celica since... wow, I don't remember when.

"Hybrid"... a dirty word.

Well, it's no Li'l Hustler, is it?

At least it's a manuel transmission.

My biggest fear is that the XTS will become Cadillac's best selling vehicle. Which will embolden the sell-outs within GM who wanted this car, and likely further slide Cadillac down the luxury car pecking order, because they're clearly chasing volume, not prestige with it, and if it is a success, more FWD mediocrity will come after it.

Booboo

I doubt we'll ever get a V8 Epsilon. You're right about the K-car Imperial, but Chrysler did put their turbo 4s into a lot of vehicles back in the day. I was using my comments for effect. I was there when those cars were new. I know a little about them. First thing I thought of when I read the XTS rumor was... GM's widespread use of the Epsilon platform in normal and stretched lengths and the possible use of a turbo 4 correlates to Chrysler's wholesale spread of the K-car platform in several ways. I support a V6 XTS, but not a 4 cylinder one. No way. It would be a joke. And the HT4100 has been out of production for decades, so that analogy makes no sense.

Why does one need a boy for it though?

I would only save $17 over six months insuring a 2006 Colorado with 109k miles v. my Cruze.

Your opinion is irrelevant to me on this matter. My opinion might be the same relevance to you. I stand by mine. I have the same opinion with regards to Ford putting the Ecoboost 4 in the Explorer and Edge, for that matter.

My Cruze (with an Eco Turbo, I might add, hyper) is not a Cadillac. A turbo 4 cylinder is not an appropriate engine for a "fullsize" Cadillac sedan. Never heard of a V5, I bet it needs one hell of a balance shaft.

We have a building like that as our farm shop. Poster looks fine to me, a bit industrial. Which one is your kid?

Better than a buzzy ass turbo 4 in a car like this. Does GM really want to join the ranks of the K-car?

Stinky

I'm not sure what a cabana even is...

Gem needs polished, but a gem nonetheless.

Ah, the joy of six. So glad to hear it. I'll withdraw my rude "K-car Imperial" comment if it debuts with a nice, strong, understressed V6.

That's a good looking vehicle. Should have the 2.0t though. They're making sure they don't sell too many by putting the more expensive engine in it.
