    I like the XTS looks. I like the air suspension. I like the V6 Turbo (not a fan of the base V6, not enough torque for such a heavy car with AWD). I like the space.
  2. Drew Dowdell
    I dunno... but the current Vette platform is fantastic and would make an excellent basis for a new XLR with a proper Cadillac level interior in it.
  3. Drew Dowdell
    I guess I'm the only one who likes the Continental, XTS, and CT6 in no particular order.

    There is a suspension tuning difference between the Verano base and Verano Turbo. So just because you've driven a 2.4 doesn't mean you know the tuning of the 2.0t. Again I'm not saying it's GTI levels, but it's a lot better than people give the Verano credit for because they're just assuming base and turbo are the same suspension....They're not.
  5. Drew Dowdell
    It was just another option. The Verano has more power and a slightly more premium feel due to the quiet of the interior. I'd put the GTI ahead on the material quality in some spots, but not all. The Verano isn't as sporty as the GTI, but still fairly sporty and has a comfort level the GTI won't match. Getting CPO Verano with the warranty pushed out to 100k miles isn't a bad deal either. Neither are bad choices.... It just comes down to preference.

    3 different self driving Uber's in the same day.

    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.

    Check your facebook messages....

    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.
  11. Drew Dowdell
    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.
  12. Drew Dowdell
    Ah, I thought you were kinda in the region of the Camry / Subaru plant.
  13. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, but aren't you in the middle of Toyota land?
  14. Drew Dowdell
    Cadillac needs the ATS, but it needs a major refresh
  15. Drew Dowdell
    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.
  17. Drew Dowdell
    LOL! No... it's just about 30 miles from my house.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    I don't understand why Mazda still struggles. They have some great cars... nearly everything they build is something I can recommend.
  19. Drew Dowdell
    It has the unfortunate benefit of being correct the vast majority of the time.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    It's gotten to the point where when something good happens, I just automatically assume something else terrible is going to happen.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    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.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    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.....
  24. Drew Dowdell
    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.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    And yet, they'll likely have to watch Chevrolet tail lights... so how does that help them?
