because they've never given it a serious try.

I had troubles with low speed maneuverability compared to the Ford also.... but once on the road, the GMC was positively Cadillac like compared to the bouncy Ford.
-
It even matches the color on my '81!
-
I've never liked the Z4. The Z3 was a great looking car.

Cadillac's dealer network in the EU needs a ground up overhaul..... And by that I'm mean they need to be ground up and started over. Daewoo dealers in the US started out with a stronger dealer network than Cadillac has in the EU. That isn't hyperbole. It would be kinda hard to take Cadillac seriously here, no matter the product, if you had to go to a painted over Exxon (Esso) station to buy one.

I am Platinum status with Marriott for 2012.... but not with my own house.

... or crazy....

You could probably turbo charge that baby and get it up to 100 hp!
-
Always seemed like such grandma cars to me. It pains me to "jeers" an Oldsmobile.... so I'll give it a qualified "cheers" on the basis that I would take this over a Pontiac or Buick of the same year.

Cadillac is keeping it from being "discount lux" and demanding the same price as their competition

IS250 base manual - $34,470 + $875 destination same horsepower and torque as the 2.5 ATS G25 base automatic - $33,495 + $895 destination - 18 more horsepower but same torque as the 2.5 ATS

Saw a 60 something Galaxy convertible while I was still in Dallas. He was making *very* good time. Today spotted an eclipse of sorts: an early 80s Ford Country Squire, white with woody paneling running along side a similar vintage Caprice Estate in the same paint scheme. With me following in the Toronado, it was like being transported back to 1984.

gonna gently nudge this back to the future CTS.
-
Look at that! A suede headliner! It'll be able to take on the E-class now, right SMK?
-
Yea, it's not like the former head of Holden is like GMNA's president or anything....or even plays some roll in product planing decisions.
-
YES PLEASE!

Makes sense. Camaro is the only north american zeta production point. Keep in mind that GM is moving towards hyper flexible production lines. Spring Hill is supposed to be able to build any non-BOF vehicle in the portfolio once they are done rebuilding there.
-
I'm betting that if production were moved to the US, it would only be production for North American consumption. Australia could continue to supply the South Pacific, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. Like what they did with the Insignia/Regal.... at first the Regal was built in the EU, but then production for North America moved over here and the EU just builds cars for themselves.
-
I think it looks too much like an automotive Best Buy to be a Cadillac dealership. Not at all "luxury"
-
I didn't think they still had steam powered tractors anymore!
-
I'm not sure it would eliminate turbo lag, but it would probably reduce it. It still has momentum to overcome spinning up and down. The faster you want the reaction to be, the more powerful you'd need the electric motor to be. that said: *buys stock in Honeywell.... and Hoover*
-
Probably a decent little runabout to pick up gently used for not a lot of money
-
Starting tomorrow, I'm fully back in the saddle. I head to Dallas-Love Field to head home in a couple hours. I still have 11 more trips between now and July 31st, but most are just overnight runs and all low stress.
