I assume a 4cyl version of the CT6 would be there for the same reason there is a 4cyl XTS--for fleet and mileage ratings. The German Big 3 have 4 cyls in their midsize but not in their full size models yet AFAIK, except maybe diesels? I assume they also will have turbo 4s as the base in their full sizers..

Sitting on a trailer down the street is a very clean restored '60s VW bus in dark teal and white w/ white bumpers.

Parts for an old car are cheaper than those for a new car.. no surprise there

Saw 4 current Rollers in traffic--black and silver blinged out Phantom on chrome 24 inch wheels, white Ghost, dark blue and silver Phantom Drophead Coupe, and a dark red and silver Wraith (the oh-so-sweet fastback coupe). Also a white Aston Martin DBS V12 coupe. Also saw a white ATS-v coupe--first I'd seen--I like the looks. Also a dark gray CTS-v wagon.

More of the trendy 'angry robot' violently ugly styling...I wonder when this trend will disappear. They ripped off recent Nissan C-pillar design. I guess this is what happens when a generation that grew up watching the Transformers start designing cars..

Makes sense. Sounds like the next generation of EcoBoost engines.

Saw a few interesting cars over the weekend in Oh & Pa...including a solid dark blue '65 Olds 88 4dr sedan, a red '75/76 Eldorado convertible, and a '15 Mustang GT in '65 Shelby colors (white w/ blue stripes). Also saw a number of cars and trucks less than 15 years old (a couple Silverados, Rangers, etc) with serious rust and rust holes...don't see that in AZ... Also several of the new Transits in various liveries incl. UHAUL.

I wonder why it has a 3.0 V6 since the MKS has a 3.7 V6. All in all I like the styling, wondering how it would look in production form...less chrome inside, smaller wheels.. I like the tail treatment in particular..not sure about the grille..better than the current motif, but not sure if it's particularly Lincolnesque..

This past Fri-Mon I had a '15 Malibu LT for a rental, picked it up in Columbus, Ohio and drove to various places in Eastern Ohio and Western Pa, in and around Pittsburgh and east to Monroeville and the PA turnpike a bit. I'd driven a few of the previous generation Malibus ('08-12), but this was the first of the current generation I'd driven. Interior impressions: well equipped, all the expected cabin features in a midsize car. Hard plastics on the doors and dash, but nice to look at--brown and light tan two tone. I like the brown. Good HVAC controls w/ dual zone climate, etc. Gauges well positioned and easy to read. I liked the blue lighting behind the chrome trip strips in the dash. Tire pressure monitoring is a nice touch. Still has the annoying GM unlocking of doors when you shift to park (never liked that feature). Comfortable w/ plenty of legroom and headroom. Since I didn't sit in the back, the typical complaints I've read about rear seat room in this car didn't matter. Lots of room back there for empty water bottles and my coat (it was cold Fri/Sat in Ohio and Pa). Exterior: familiar, kind of anonymous but pleasingly clean. Looked very good in the dark red, I like the profile of this car, though the high tail makes for a bit of blind spot in backing up. I did a lot of freeway driving on I-70, I-77, I-79 etc this weekend as well as stuck in city traffic in Pittsburgh and enjoying the hilly streets and roads around the city, muddy Ohio back roads, etc. Generally very quiet around town. Noticed the start/stop engine shut off. Some tire and wind noise at 70-75 mph on freeway, but not excessive. The car felt very solid and tight overall. Seemed to have more than enough power to get out of it's own way in merging and passing. Did notice the transmission taking a while to shift up on long hill climbs a couple times, though. All in all, with the addition of a sunroof (I'd keep the cloth seats), I could live with one of these as a daily driver for a few years. I'll admit I haven't driven many of it's contemporaries (had a rental Camry and an Avenger in the last 18 months), but it seems like a perfectly fine all around daily driver and road trip car. I'm looking forward to seeing where Chevy goes w/ the 2016 model.

The regular B-class has been on sale in Canada for a few years....it's M-B's competitor to the Ford C-Max..just a small FWD people mover.

Saw a very sharp red w/ white top '73 Eldorado coupe and a very clean dark blue '75-76 Eldorado convertible, top down. Also saw the silver '65 Olds Jetstar I 2dr that I seem to see once a year.

Saw several '15 Explorers and Edges last week...a street next to my office building in Scottsdale was blocked off by the police 4 mornings in a row...it appears Ford was filming a commercial on that street--saw several '15 F150s, Transits, Mustangs, etc also there. Also saw a dark blue '15 Charger on Friday, first I'd seen in person, looks much better than in pics, esp. w/ some chrome on the grille.

Saw a red w/ white vinyl top '68 Riviera in my office parking garage again..been seeing it a couple times a week lately. Also I've seen a sharp red '64 Valiant convertible driving w/ the top down 4 times in the last 5 days in my neighborhood.
