Chevrolet News:2019 Chevrolet Cruze May Lose the Manual
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
I'm guessing it's gone. The take rate on it has got to be super low and it's not like the Cruze is selling like gangbusters. The Civic stole any thunder it might have had. The diesel hatch with a manual was a pleasant enough of a drive, but I wouldn't have missed it in that car if it were only an auto. -
MKX? That's the one I liked from that era.

Well that's the old Escalade, but yea, when that came out, bling was in, as were fender vents. Keep in mind that Escalade is rather restrained compared to the prior one. You weren't here at the time but when this Navigator came out, we and a few other sites made such a stink about the nose that it ended up being released with the ability to delete the chrome upper lip.

Chrome mirror covers aren't stock... and in all likelihood neither are chrome door handles if it was a current model. The Escalade comes with illuminated door handles with satin metal surround. The GLS merely has glued in chrome inserts though... This is a base 2017 GLS450

I wouldn't own an old german car unless an old german company is picking up the repair tab. Those things get notoriously expensive to repair. You could find a CPO SS fairly easily if you wanted.

Sure I do. I have a pretty light hand when it comes to it as long as it is car related. Otherwise, SMK would have been gone a long time ago since his primary MO is to troll Cadillac threads. It's when it gets personal that I have to step in. The rules here are pretty simple... talk about cars not people.
-
I think you have your answer then....

@balthazar didn't qualify his statement with a timeframe... only that Mercedes had benchmarked Cadillac in the past for interiors and BMW for handling.

They won't get there with that truck. It's a total kit car and doesn't even have wipers. If Tesla keeps its promise on max range, their truck will have this one beat. 300 miles won't be enough range for long haul trucks.

'50s, '60s, and '70s they did... then they stuck with those right up until the mid-late 80 when Cadillac started to falter (or 2017 if you count the G-Class)

It's not an adjustable setting as near as I can find.

No one cares.

No one has successfully done in-wheel hub motors yet as they have some negative performance characteristics that will be difficult to overcome. I don't care how they do it as long as they make it torquey...
