Is there ANY possible way for you to make a valid comparison without blatant attempts to stack the deck towards the brand you're just a fanboi of? The AMG GT Sedan is a larger car and will be priced an entire CLA more. It will compete with the M6 and Audi RS7.

It's not you... it's the people out there who are like "ZOMG! ATS DIEING!!!11!!". Even without Cadillac's sedan shakeup, the ATS was dying and being replaced by a new name.

outside of that, you are right it does get murky.... still, as a driver, you are supposed to be in control of your forward motion at all times. If someone jaywalks outside of a crosswalk and they get hit, the burden is on the driver to show extraordinary circumstances.

Pedestrian/bike in a crosswalk and a green light = having right of way.

Nope, that is still the law.

He got the best one on the market and he likes it.

The wiggle room is the word "sedan". I would expect whatever takes the ATS's place to be some sort of hatchback with a crossover hatchback version as well. It will drop in overall size and probably move to FWD like the Germans have. The CTS will drop in size, the XTS dies, and the CT6 remains the same. Some flagship that is technically not a sedan (think Tesla Model S hatchback) will be above the CT6.

okay, I'm still not sure why everyone is surprised by this. The ATS dies just like the SRX died.... because it got a new name. A new car will slot in to replace ATS with a new name.

Absolutely, the person who nearly hit me yesterday was running a red light.

It was meant to play in the compact class. They drive fantastic... much more car-like than a normal crossover.

The last generation Cadillac SRX had the right idea of putting a cow catcher on the front.

He means that those are the causes for pedestrian incidents... though I'm not sure who is more guilty of using them when they shouldn't be... pedestrians or drivers.

That's what happens when you're motivated by revenge and want to punish someone (in this case the prior administration and California respectively)

The Sedona is a pet love of our own @William Maley

You know what, these drive so nice.... and they finally made a mini-van that actually looks good. This is really the best crossover alternative out there that can still do all the hauling a crossover can do and more. I know @ocnblu would make fun of me for it, but I'd get the plug-in version... if only because it adds a bunch more scoot to the pentastar.

I nearly was run over by a Pruis today, but I was paying attention and she wasn't.... she was also running a red light. What an insulting way to go that would be....

As far as pricing.... expect a the price of an SLT ($57k) plus $2600~ for the Graphite package and an additional $2700 for the performance package. @dfelt

GMC Yukon Matching Chevy's RST with Graphite

For the 2018 Model Year, Chevy gave the Tahoe an RST package for some extra sporting pizzazz and more recently introduced the RST Performance package on the Suburban. The RST removed chrome, blacked out grilles, and added custom wheels. Upgrading to the performance package brought on the 6.2 liter V8, 10-Speed automatic transmission, and GM's Magnetic Ride Control. At GMC, the only way to get those performance upgrades was to first check the box on the order form that said "Denali". One of our intrepid readers lurking around the GM Fleet Order Guide (Hat-tip: @ocnblu) found that GMC is planning to offer a virtually identical set of packages on the Yukon for 2019. Named Graphite and Graphite Performance Package, these packages should add a bit bolder look to the otherwise conservative Yukon. Like the Tahoe/Suburban RST, the GMC Yukon Graphite Edition removes most, if not all, of the bright chrome accents typically found on a Yukon. In their place are a black chrome mesh grille insert, black chrome fog lamp surround, body color grille surround, gloss black belt line moldings, and the Z85 Suspension package with air leveling. Special, package specific 22" bright machined wheels with Carbon Flash Metallic pockets and gloss black side assist steps are added. The Graphite Performance Edition adds to that with the 6.2 liter V8, 10-speed automatic, 3.23 rear axle, Magnetic Ride Control, upgraded 8" driver information center, heads up display, 8" infotainment system with navigation, trailer brake controller, upgraded alternator, unique performance edition 22" 6-spoke wheels, and on four-wheel drive models a 2-speed active transfer case. Not mentioned in the GMC order guide is the sport suspension calibration mentioned in the Tahoe RST guide, but that could simply be an order guide oversight. Both Graphite Editions will come wearing P285/45R22 tires and will only be available for selection on SLT equipped Yukons. The Yukon Graphite will be available in only three colors - White Frost Tricoat, Onyx Black, or Dark Sky Metallic. No official picture or release of the 2019 GMC Yukon Graphite Edition has been made by GMC yet, but expect something in the coming weeks. (2016 GMC Yukon SLT Pictured) View full article

I guess they should have talked to Bosch

CAn you link me to where you're seeing that? I can't find it on the VIN site.
