    GM Packaging really is odd.
  2. Drew Dowdell
    What did you end up paying?
  3. Drew Dowdell
    Very nice! Glad to see them sell.

    0 to 60 doesn't matter because you don't go around flooring it all the time
  5. Drew Dowdell
    take pics!

    My point is that GM uses its other brands to fill niches (when needed, thankfully no crossover coupes yet). That's why Buick has a wagon and a hatchback. That's why GMC has a luxury line. The GMC Yukon Denali XL and the GLS are only $1000 apart on base price, Escalade stars $5k higher The GLB will likely overlap quite a bit with the Terrain Denali. ... that's why GMC is relevant.

    I mean, if I wanted to get petty, I could point out that GMC sells 25% - 30% of its lineup as a Denali, which is mostly a chrome and leather package that cost $5k. Yet Denali sales alone outsell all of Lincoln, or Jaguar Land Rover. Cadillac is not and will never be a full line brand that has to cover every niche. GM has other brands to do that with.

    They'll probably depreciate hard and you can get a CPO one for a song.

    Ah! But they count the 43s as AMG also.
  11. Drew Dowdell
    And show me... how many GLA45s have actually been sold. I've never seen one outside an auto show and I travel quite a bit. I've only ever seen a small handful of CLA45s. Only the XTS had just a V-Sport. ATS-V ATS-V Coupe CTS-V CTS-V Coupe CT6-V
  12. Drew Dowdell
    Cadillac had the XTS V-Sport But seriously, Cadillac had V or V-Sport versions of all their cars... just not the SUVs because I mean really, who'd buy an XT5-V anyway?
  13. Drew Dowdell
    Handling. The Alpha chassis is one of the best out there for it. That's not a new thing either. The first gen CTS-V would beat an M3 around a track even though it was M5 sized.

    Yeah, I subscribe to Britbox and I'm set for a while on shows to catch up on. I'm only partway through Midsomer because each episode is so long. I really enjoyed Vera and I"m just about to finish Elementary.
  15. Drew Dowdell
    No, not into reality shows either. I like crime drama... Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Law and Order and the like.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    No, I never did watch such trash...

    You won't fit in it.

    wtf is jabroni

    Getting more for your money is not a price reduction? Okay, forget the Leaf. Before the Bolt, it cost you $60ish k to get over 235 miles of range. After the Bolt it cost you $30ish K. That's a price reduction. How about another example? I have an old iPod sitting here with 64gb of memory that originally cost about $400. Now you can get one with 256gb for $400... that is a reduction in price.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    Sure it is a purchasing cost reduction. Until the Bolt was made, $30ish thousand dollars got you 100ish miles of range. Once the Bolt was released, $30ish thousand dollars got you 235 miles of range. Prior to that, to get over 200 miles of range cost around $60ish k. Putting it another way... if the Silverado 2500 were suddenly the same price as a 1500, that is a big cost reduction. And Range doesn't effect operating costs any more than a bigger gas tank does. If you're getting X miles out of Y amount of juice, it doesn't cost you less just because you fill up less often.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    20 miles, no... but going from Leaf to Bolt for the same price... that's over 100 miles? That's a cost reduction.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    I"m guessing the people at benz are smarter about this than anyone on this message board. It already has in the form of range increases without cost increases. When the leaf came out, it only had about 100 mile range. The bolt was released at about the same price as the leaf, but had a 235 mile range. GM just increased the range of the bolt again with no increase to price.

    Nissan dropped the Altima hybrid too for this generation. I think Accord and Camry are the only mid-size hybrids left.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Definitely needs a more powerful version. If a Lacross AWD and 300 AWD can get the same fuel economy with much more power, then there is no reason the Arteon couldn't do it with a V6 as well.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    C&G will be 32 years old by then, well be able to come back and see No necessarily. Costs will come down. The already are.
