Hmmm..the first use of the Northstar was the '93 Allante, around 15 years ago, not 20.

Debate not yet settled, but Lutz thinks Impala will be FWD
Robert Hall replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Sounds like it's a done deal it this point..what will be, will be. Those all hot about a RWD Impala may as well move on and hunt down an oldie. -
That's sweet... I don't have one of the 1:18th ones yet, but I have several of the 1:64th Hot Wheels and Greenlight ones (they make hts and convertibles) and the AMT and Revell 1:25th model kits.. neat stuff.
-
Not as much as the Impala, I bet..

The Who-Endless Wire
-
He'd probably have something more useful than the Repubs, who are beholden to big oil interests..
-
What would Al Gore say?
-
Well, Cadillac does have a few competitive models--the '08 CTS is excellent, the SRX is good, the XLR...
-
Here's an insane idea--maybe they can come up with the next big Caddy cheaply by putting a 4dr sedan body on the Escalade platform....68 would be ecstatic...
-
It's been 32 years since the CAFE standards were last adjusted, right? And it's 12 years until the new regs are fully in place...yet to many people here, the sky is falling! It's the end of the world! YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. What an irrational bunch.
-
The odds of someone building a time machine so 68 can go back to 1931 and drive a Caddy V16 are probably higher.
-
It appears to me that the future Cadillac strategy isn't necessarily to take on the big boys model-for-model across the line (to have a Cadillac full line comparable to Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus would be a massive investment), but to try and compete effectively in specific niches for specific markets...so maybe the large V8 luxury sedan (S-class, 7-series, etc), for example, is not a Cadillac target.
-
Well, it's obvious that a public that is used to buying Accords, Civics, Camrys, and Corollas are going to choose Toyotas and Hondas when they go to buy a compact SUV...why would they look else where if they've been happy with their Toyota and Honda cars? Such is reality.

Collectable Cadillacs of the last 25 years or so?
Robert Hall replied to A Horse With No Name's topic in Cadillac
I think the mid '80s Eldorado convertibles would hold some value...and maybe the '92-96 Fleetwood Broughams (last of the BOF land yachts). -
I still don't get why full-size truck sales are so high.... they can't all be commercial sales...and there aren't that many farmers, ranchers, etc. I'm just amazed how many people buy these beasts.
-
Big deal...we all know you would never buy a new car...stay with your 25+ yr old ones and give the rants a rest, ok?
-
Not this one...the article about the discontinuation of the NS replacement was posted, but not anything about the NS being dropped as this one claims.
-
The 6.2 is OHV...there is no 6.2 DOHC from GM.
-
They haven't done anything to update the Northstar in quite a while, though... and who says DI and VVT is going to happen for the Northstar?
-
You're being a little overly melodramatic, aren't you? It's just a car...not the end of the world..

Since college, I've always dated older...my ex- fiancee was 4 years older... my g/fs since then have been older, from 1 year to 6... my current on-again/off-again g/f is 41, I'm 37.. My parents were 10 years apart (mom was 40 when I was born, dad was 50). My family has an odd thing with birthdates---mine is 6/28, mom's is 1/28, dad's was 10/29, and my sister's is 7/29. My brother is the odd one, 8/21.

Sounds like they don't intend for Cadillac to play in the big leagues beyond the CTS..

GM ads to focus on cars, small SUVs
Robert Hall replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in General Motors
Whatever...Hummer and Saab are GM brands, just like Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Opel, etc... whether they are old-time GM 'divisions' or 'subsidiaries' is a trivial distinction in the real world.. -
The interior doesn't look bad, looks better than the ugly 4th gen interior, IMHO..and remember this a test mule, not a production version..

Robert Hall replied to Oracle of Delphi's topic in General Motors
Hummer and Saab weren't mentioned either...Pontiac was probably mentioned, but PCS edited it out before posting here..
