    Transmission mounts have been replaced in the last 18 months. Engine mounts are fine. Body some body mounts are also new. I don't have a sub-frame, this is a full frame/body on frame vehicle. Both front and rear bumpers mount to the same pieces of metal. I may have a friend follow along with me on the phone and watch for a specific tire that is vibrating, and then move it to see if the vibration follows.

    probably early next year. our mortgage is dropping by $300 a month in december plus we're getting a refund check for $1700. I have a new car already the Buick is primarily mine now... I kicked Albert back into the CR-V.

    A new car. LOL. Check the tie rods, my car had the same issue a year ago, found out it was the tie-rod. Also breaks can cause the problem. Have you seen the 2015 Toronados?! They are to die for! I'll take a look and have it checked. The shocks are relatively new... I did them the first year I owned the car. I've only put 12,000 miles on it in 3 years.

    What else can I do? The Toronado has a bad wheel vibration between 55mph and 65mph. I've already had the tires rebalanced multiple times at different places. I've replaced the steel wheels on the front and had them rebalanced again. The ball joints have less than 3k miles on them. What am I missing?

    The current guy is a sales and marketing drone... nothing more.

    A logical progression of model names? Calais, Seville, Eldorado, Deville, Fleetwood, Fleetwood Brougham. Escalade, You know what I could have gotten on board with? A return to the Series names. Cadillac ATS Coupe = Cadillac Series 32 Cadillac ATS Convertible = Cadillac Series 33 Cadillac ATS Sedan = Cadillac Series 34 Cadillac ATS Wagon = Cadillac Series 35 At once classic and also in line with the expectations of the import crowd...

    Balth, please see my post in Editors

    ah, I misunderstood you. I thought you were implying that the ATS was somehow more costly to develop.
  10. Drew Dowdell
    There is something you may have missed SMK. It costs about the same to develop a small car chassis as it does a big one, option for option.

    The facts behind global climate change aren't even up for debate anymore. Just because you can find a couple Exxon sponsored scientists who will attempt to refute the facts doesn't make the other 98% of scientists wrong. Small cars can be made safe, the Chevy Sonic and Buick Encore are two that I can think of off the top of my head that have excellent crash test results. BTW, the fastest land vehicles in the world are electric and a Telsa Roadster can walk away from an Audi R8 like it's standing still.

    Probably all of the improvements that are going into the Volt.

    If Cadillac is going to continue with the Alpha names, then just call it a CTS-D and don't name the engine itself.
  15. Drew Dowdell
    need a more powerful diesel option
  16. Drew Dowdell
    I'm guessing it has to do with gearing
  17. Drew Dowdell
    Cadillac can and does offer different power trains in different markets. If china wants an lts with a 2.0T, let 'em

    How do driving dynamics get old? It's a big cushy SUV.

    I know you're looking at NH.... I was just in Colorado though and it seems like a place that would suit you.... if nothing else for the loads and loads of un-rusted un-molested older GM trucks out there (and an unusual number of Ram truck too)
  20. Drew Dowdell
    I think even the LT-1 would be a good mid-range V8 for the LTS.... look at the possibilities in the powertrain lineup. 5.3 V8 - 360 hp 6.2 V8 - 460 hp (a Ward's 10-Best engine) 3.6 TT V6 - 420 hp 6.2 V8 S/C - 650 hp Even just putting turbos on the 5.3 would be nice.

    The Cruze hasn't really changed..... unless they're comparing it to the Cobalt. Nor has the Camaro. They haven't driven the Colorado to even be able to know. The Dart is still new, and the Civic hasn't really changed. Think about it... how is the Civic, which hasn't changed much, on this list while the Corolla, which changed a lot, isn't.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    $55k and I don't even get 3rd row? Thanks, but you'll find me at the Buick dealership in an Enclave.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    why is it ticking? (this is news to me) Here is the new stuff GM is using.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Different kinds of cars... completely
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Corvette Z06 LT4 engines are hand built.... Exactly the level of cache a Cadillac would need.
