    Considering M-B is generally perceived as the world standard of the luxury market, comparisons will be inevitable..

    A RWD 2dr convertible has 'no passion'?? BS. Cadillac needs something like this...something fun instead of more boring, bland transverse engine FWD CUV lease appliances....

    The 6 window greenhouse with the quarter window in the C-pillar is the easiest way at a glance to distinguish a CT6 from a CTS in profile. V-series models usually have blacked out grilles. Makes sense for the V-Sport trim. I'm sure the regular CT6 will have a bright grille. The 6 window greenhouse with the quarter window in the C-pillar is the easiest way at a glance to distinguish a CT6 from a CTS in profile. Cadillac has done 6 window greenhouses before; in the 50s and early 60s, so it's not unprecedented. It's simplistic and conformist to say the quarter window 'belongs' on the rear door.

    That's GM. I assume future Cadillac crossovers will use the generic platforms Chevy, GMC and Buick use for their crossovers...Cadillac should have a dedicated RWD-based platform for its CUVs, and leave the commodity FWD crud to Chevy, GMC, and Buick.

    I got through my first Ohio winter in 24 years without more than a cold, no ear infections or sinus infections like I used to get. But my joints have felt the wear and tear of living in a multi-story house for the first time in almost 30 years...
  6. Robert Hall
    Yes, but it's still built on a transverse engine FWD-origin platform, nothing special...
  7. Robert Hall
    Yes, but Cadillac's reality is different than M-Bs; Cadillac has to use GM platforms, which means FWD crossovers...

    They have the 2.0L 4 for China.

    Well, the XT5 is their volume model.

    Anyone have any sales figures for the current-gen Mondeo (Fusion) in Europe? Wonder how it is doing there.. I know it didn't come out until a year or two after the NA version...

    I've dabbled in building and collecting model kits (and die cast) since childhood. I've got the latest releases, as well as kits that are 60 yrs old in my collection. I have a spare bedroom full of them in my house and more in my storage unit.

    Nice to see Cadillac making a DOHC V8 sedan again.. interesting change in the taillights and deck lid trim. I like the brown seats, but hold the carbon fiber trim. I wonder if we will see this engine in the CTS-V or whatever the next midsize performance sedan is called? (CT5-V?). Since it's being built at Bowling Green, one can speculate a variation of this engine will power the next Corvette..

    Pretty light 2nd MCE...new front fascia, grille and lighting.. yawn.
  14. Robert Hall
    Different niche, though.... the Mercs and BMWs are serious RWD/AWD SUVs as opposed to appliance FWD/AWD CUVs like the XT5, RX, and Nautilus.
  15. Robert Hall
    The XT5 being a commodity lease appliance doesn't need a V8; competitors like the Lexus RX and Nautilus don't have V8s..

    The key to owning something like the Continental is a lease...I wouldn't buy one. Drive it 3 years then move on. Or maybe a CPO w/ extended warranty. I wouldn't want to have any modern electronics-heavy vehicle out of warranty and aging. I've learned from experience never keep anything from the 21st century past 100k miles, that's when the electronics tend to go to shit...

    I like the Continental, it's one of those cars I like a lot more after seeing in person than looking at just in pictures. I've sat in them, seems like it would be a nice comfy cruiser.

    I have a few Skylines of various generations in my 1/24th kit stash.
  19. Robert Hall
    Of the vintage Skyline GT-Rs, I like the KPGC110 mid 70s generation and the R32.
  20. Robert Hall
    The current generation Skyline is sold in the US now, it's just badged as an Infiniti...(Q50/Q60).
  21. Robert Hall
    Which no doubt led to a lot of confusion over the years. Odd that they went with a nonstandard labeling scheme.

    I just don't get why Kia is making models that are redundant with Hyundai and Genesis models..it's like as a company overall, Hyundai-Kia doesn't seem to clearly delineate their 3 brands. The Kia Stinger is one that stands out, but so many of the models across the brands seem redundant.
  23. Robert Hall
    It's like Kia doesn't know what their place is..why are they trying to compete w/ their sibling Genesis? Very confusing...

    I went to a couple of concerts during the middle of the week a couple weeks ago--2 guys I've liked since the 80s--Steve Winwood and Howard Jones. Winwood played a lot of his '60s Traffic and 80s songs in a jazzy style--his backing band was solid. Howard Jones was solo with an electric piano, not all his synthesizers. His current tour was 'stories and songs'--him talking about the stories behind his songs, was fun in a small venue in the Cleveland Flats. I've had both of their 80s work stuck in my head the last couple weeks, been listening to them both a lot at home and in the Jeep..

    That illustration (European source?) has a lot of Jeep styling cues to the sides--the wheelarches, greenhouse, etc. will be interesting to see how it turns out. It will be interesting also to see what the next 4Runner looks like..the current one is so ugly IMO.
