    I'm actually surprised the XTS is going to last until 2019. They must have a mid-cycle re-do planned in there somewhere.

    Of course those customers are being taken care of by the domestics. They aren't out there buying Subaru Bajas.

    Limo 1 is a custom build on a Chevrolet Top-Kick industrial truck. It is Cadillac in some certain visual cues only. It has zero relation to anything in the Cadillac portfolio beyond the badge. I've seen both in person.

    A few of you have PMed me to complain about one user or another's posts lately. The reputation system is there for you to express your displeasure. In the near future, after the upgrade of the board software to 4.1, posts that get enough negative votes will be hidden from view.

    Also... Escalade

    Well I disagree with Johan... unless there is something super special about the Omega platform, I'm betting the CT6 would make a great limo

    It's not just about fuel economy. Some people just don't want to wheel around a full size truck no matter how great the fuel economy is... it is simply too much vehicle for them to handle.

    Yup. I use one of these because they are 64gb and about as physically small as you can get. SanDisk Ultra Fit CZ43 64GB USB 3.0

    No the screen doesn't pop up. The Intelilink doesn't "download" the music to itself from a flash drive, but it can play music off of a flash drive. I just usually use my work iPhone for carrying music.

    and here I was wondering why VW brought out 3 Beetle concepts at NYIAS if the car was dead car rolling...

    Cadillac + Trucks is where GM makes most of its profit. Chevy from the Malibu on down make very little profit per unit. The Escalade makes gobs of profit. You simply cannot compare the profit margin of a Spark to the profit margin of a CTS. The German Big 3, in their full-size models, also weigh on average about 600lbs more than this car will. CT6 3700lbs + a possible 200lbs for 3.0L TT=3900 A8 4400lbs 740i 4350lbs S550 4700lbs LS460 4300lbs The base CT6 2.0T weighs less than a base CTS 2.0T

    I'm trying to figure out how the center stack is all new...

    The 2014 Buick Enclave aftermarket headlight with LEDs and swivel is $900+ a side.

    should be the same as the span of those E-Bodies. Model year '79 - model year '85. After that I think Linden started building S10s or S10 Blazers
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I thought you knew about the Linden switch, so I was thinking "what isn't he getting here?" when reading the posts.

    .. well it was the last Detroit built Eldorado as of that point... when they took the picture, they had no idea that the '86 Eldorado would be built at Hamtramck. That Eldorado was built in Detroit until 1978. When the '79 bodystyle switched to the new slimmer E-bodies (like my car) production switched to Linden NJ. After that bodystyle was over, production moved back to Hamtramck for the '86 model year. So it was probably a big deal to those production line employees that "their" car wasn't going to be built in Detroit anymore and instead was going to NJ. Thus the picture.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    Well it couldn't have been an '85 Eldorado, but it could have been an '86 built in '85

    The tail lights have a neat effect. I can't post the picture at the moment, but when the tail lights are off, they become smooth chrome rather than red. I got a shot of it and when I go through my pictures tomorrow, I'll post it. I'm heading to a Maxima event now.

    Well they do have a 3.0L V6 available on the GT. yes but this 4 cylinder is rather outclassed by most other engines for vehicles this size.The Outlander fills a mostly abandoned niche though, it feels about the same size as the old Pathfinder and old old Chevy Blazer. It feels more "traditional SUV" than the new Crossovers do since the new crossovers have a decidedly more Mommy-Van feel to them these days.
  21. Drew Dowdell
    shame about that 4-cylinder though... would be nice if they could come up with something with a bit more go...
  22. Drew Dowdell
    at it's worst really... The best thing Toyota could have done is leave the face mostly alone and just swap out the badges.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    Far more tasteful than that, but I see what you're seeing. I see a bit of previous Ford Edge Sport in there too.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    It's a really good looking update. Mitsu should do well with it.

    I guess part of their new pedestrian collision prevention technology includes scaring them out of the way before they get hit.
