    What the heck is wrong with the Corvette platform? It's the king of the game for the price and a great baseline to start a Cadillac from.

    Like the title says, What car did you come home from the hospital in when you were born? Myself: A brown Volkswagen Type III Wagon. I may be in the running for most obscure car for this list.

    I would rather not get into the personal nature of some of this stuff in here.... but the pattern is there and it is that drastic... as I said, often the horrible happens on the same day as the great. Just yesterday is an excellent example for me.

    The nice thing about the Verano is that they depreciate so fast you could get a really nice used Turbo model for cheap. Example kinda near you. You'd have it 50% paid off just from your settlement. And the turbos are far far better drivers than anyone ever gave them credit for. You want great power with a touch of Euro handling for cheap... there's your car.

    Ah, I thought you were kinda in the region of the Camry / Subaru plant.
  7. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, but aren't you in the middle of Toyota land?

    Cadillac needs the ATS, but it needs a major refresh

    If you prefer... it's just an observation of a pattern.

    No need to fight over me boys.... there's more than enough of me to go around. I've had a really rough few years that have involved a lot of personal and professional struggle. The few times I've had some really positive news... something that could potentially dramatically change my life for the easier, I nearly immediately get equally bad news.

    LOL! No... it's just about 30 miles from my house.

    I don't understand why Mazda still struggles. They have some great cars... nearly everything they build is something I can recommend.

    It has the unfortunate benefit of being correct the vast majority of the time.

    It's gotten to the point where when something good happens, I just automatically assume something else terrible is going to happen.

    So what had happened was..... http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/01/05/watch-spool-of-wire-falls-off-truck-rolls-down-route-40/

    It's hard to compete with Golf volume when you don't have a car priced as low as the Golf.

    I must have the most impeccably balanced karma in the world. Every time something really good happens to me... something equally bad happens at the same time.... in this case, it was exactly on the same day, yesterday. This is not the first time stuff like this has happened.....

    I have a suspicion that this mid-engine car will be a Corvette branded car, but it will have an additional name while the existing car goes on as Stingray.

    And yet, they'll likely have to watch Chevrolet tail lights... so how does that help them?

    It was snowing here in Pittsburgh, but that didn't stop someone in a red Lexus SC from running around with the top down.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    Exactly

    The ATS-V does better than the EPA rating on the highway... There would need to be a significant difference in aero for that amount of fuel economy difference and I just don't see it. For reference, a 707hp Charger Hellcat, also with an 8speed auto, all of the aerodynamics of a brick, and a lot more weight gets just 2mpg less on the highway. My guess is that you're just into the boost more on the ATS.

    They could have been in front of this craze with this car, but it took them a while and now they are playing catch up. Juke - Qashqai - Rogue - Murano - Pathfinder - Armada That's a pretty complete lineup....
  24. Drew Dowdell
    I wonder what they think they are missing. They have 3 sedans, 3 crossovers, and 3 hatchbacks. Is it that they can't make enough of them to sell?

    Mine isn't as harsh as his.... but I really could just do without the holiday. I've got so much going on in life that I don't usually have the time to deal with all of the visiting, the preparations, etc. The only family I saw this holiday is the same family I see 2 - 4 times a month anyway... we didn't travel anywhere distant and no one traveled to us. As far as gifts, there is nothing I need. I usually just buy anything that I do need from Amazon prime and it's at my house 2 days later. I'm sitting here trying to think of what I got for Xmas besides cash... and it was a new set of sheets and duvet from my parents that I did need but held off buying so my mom could get something for us.... a couple of sweaters that I already have too many of.... and a bunch of other stuff that I don't recall because it wasn't something I was looking for. The only thing I asked for that I didn't get was a watch winder. So now that Xmas is over, I'll just go buy myself one. I got 95% of Albert's shopping done on Xmas eve, so there wasn't much thought that went into it. The one thing I did get for him that was meaningful was a collection of vintage photographs of the British Royal Family from the 1950 that I found at the Pittsburgh equivalent of an indoor flea market... grand total for all 25 photos was about $1.50. The only thing that I need and wish I had that no one can get me is time.
