Glad to see they're on a turn around.

I didn't realize the Tribeca was out of production already.

Hi from San Francisco.

Chryslers do more than drop the LED, they drop the DRL also.

Won't even be leaving the airport.

I did like it a lot. Would be a great place to live and Albert agreed.... But.. Hi from Phoenix AZ!

Hi from Boulder Colorado.

Jeep still sells the snot out of the Patriot because it's the cheapest car with the Jeep logo on it right now.. and it actually is capable of some minor off-roading.

Look at Subaru... they sold more vehicles than each of GMC, Ram, and Mazda.... and they are rapidly closing in on Kia. One wonders if and when Subaru is going to start to have capacity problems with such a high growth rate.

Yes, the current 300 is a bit behind, but I'm hoping the coming refresh for it will have at least a similar level of improvement. I don't agree with the idea that this platform needs to go on any particular diet. The 300c with V6 and 8-speed will already easily out MPG anything of similar size from Ford or GM or the imports. One of the GMC PR people is my friend on Facebook and he was posting about how the Lacrosse V6 MPG is so great, he got 30mpg on a recent highway trip.... I didn't have the heart to reply to him that if I did that in a V6 Chrysler LX car, I'd be bringing it into the dealership to make sure there wasn't a stuck caliper. I've consistently gotten well over 30mpg highway in normal driving, and sometimes over 35mpg in the Pentastar LX cars. Just today I climbed from 4,000 ft to 11,000 feet above sea level and back in Rocky Mountain National Park with 4 people in the car and the DIC is registering 28mpg. Could the LX car be lighter? Maybe, but that isn't what needs improving the most.

I'm thinking you should consider Colorado

This very well may be the Encore replacement for us in 12 months. Albert says he thinks he doesn't want a crossover next time and wants to go back to a sedan as long as I have a crossover. He likes the Verano, but since no AWD there, it would be Regal instead.. The big thing for him is that he wants to stay with Buick because it gets him all the premium stuff he likes without the very premium prices of the imports or full lux brands.

I'm on vacation in Boulder CO right now.... spotted a 9-3x... I'm not sure I've ever seen one in the wild before. Also spotted a 9-4x at a local dealership, but was driving and didn't get a picture. How about a Jeep Commander?

I don't know why so many people have a problem with the rear of the CTS. It looks fine.. and is certainly more distinctive than the others. I see a lot of vintage Eldorado and Deville in that trunk. I agree with Balth that Cadillac is the only brand to get LED light-pipes right. They inspire a heritage look that goes back decades and remind you of the vertical blades from years ago. What do the light-pipes on any of the Germans remind you of? Nothing, because they don't have that kind of visual heritage. As far as pricing, Cadillac should hold firm on the current pricing but be more aggressive and targeted with the incentives. People turning in a lease or trade in of a competing luxury brand should be given a bonus, or they should do something like the Experience Buick leases that are being offered. Cheap, 2 year, low mileage leases that include everything.

It's a rehashed Captiva

Nissan is losing everyone these days.

Volvo needs some diesels here in the states.

Happy Belated!
