    My ex-brother-in-law #1 had one, a '74ish one...was orange then he repainted it burgundy. I remember riding in it a few times...he moved it from Ohio to Arizona in 1980 w/ my sister. He was constantly working on it, had all sorts of electrical issues.

    I like how Buick has brought back the colors to the badge...not sure when this happened, but I recall them eliminating them some years ago..
  3. Robert Hall
    A CT6 V-series would probably outsell the hybrid..

    The greenhouse looks a lot like the Equus, esp. the sweep of the quarter window. I like the tailights, something different. Looks like a nice cruiser.

    Interesting that Honda and Toyota (Scion) are the last in the US market 2dr FWD compact game, long after everyone else abandoned that niche...

    Saw a red VW Clasico yesterday in traffic...basically a revised 4th gen Jetta (different taillights, decklid, rear bumper) with Sinaloa plates..

    Well, it is their entry level CUV...below the RX. I guess the luxury package and the hybrid spec drives the price so high..

    Always liked the first gen SC, forgot they offered a manual w/ the 6 in the US

    Many factors..it's about the potential of cargo space when you need it--sedan trunks are useless for boxes and other bulky content...I find myself folding down the back seat and putting content in my Jeep once a month or more that I couldn't do with a sedan...other selling points are the ride height and ease of getting in and out. Sedans are so low by comparison. And the perceived utility of AWD for winter. After 20+ years of driving SUVs I'd find it hard to go to a sedan for the daily driver...I don't need a truck, but a CUV/SUV suits me and countless other drivers..

    Brand, reputation, and lease deals, I presume. Plenty of consumers won't consider Cadillac or the Germans (poor Consumer Reports scores) but anything Toyota gets their attention...
  11. Robert Hall
    That's the color of the one I saw today..

    It's been a Cadillac market for probably a century, though...acceleration, handling and performance have been Cadillac marketing attributes only in recent times..

    Speaking of VW, I was behind a blue Jetta tonight that had a Hybrid badge instead of the usual TDI badge...didn't realize they had a Hybrid.

    Got to be low volume anymore...I've never seen any of the XTS based ones in person.
  15. Robert Hall
    Without the XTS, will the next decade see hearse, limo and flower car versions of the CT6? (in theory there are versions the XTS w/ such livery mods).
  16. Robert Hall
    Sharp..nice interior. I see it has the underconsole cubby for a purse ( or man purse or tabby)
  17. Robert Hall
    Detailing including buffing out the headlight housings. Had that done 3 years ago, time again for it. Was $99 for the headlights, wash and wax, interior vacuuming etc at the local carwash then..
  18. Robert Hall
    You might want to report stuff like that to the site admin. Edit: Can one of the two of you take a screen shot of what you're seeing and PM it to me? Done.

    'launch in December'...a press conference to announce the brand..doesn't say anything about when they will have product in showrooms and on lots.
  20. Robert Hall
    MY 2017, maybe? I assume they will rebadge & MCE the current Genesis sedan and Equus to start with, then add a CUV or two.. The Genesis coupe (is it still even in production, don't see them around) would make more sense to stay a Hyundai badged model...

    Happy Birthday!
  22. Robert Hall
    I see the same thing....iPhone 6, Safari browser...
  23. Robert Hall
    Slow news weeks, I guess...after fall introductions, before show season...
  24. Robert Hall
    Can't compare cars with trucks, different buyers, different market niches. I assume the 4cyl version will be for fleet sales or black car/Uber drivers...
  25. Robert Hall
    Exactly...Google and Wikipedia are there...rather than memorizing trivia, look it up...that's why smart phones are so convenient these days...can look stuff up most anytime, anyplace.. I know a fair bit of auto trivia like vintage platform names (GM and Chrysler, A-, B-, C- bodies, etc) and a lot of BMW and M-B generational codes, because those are widely known and appear in the media all the time, and I've had some of them.
