    Albert says Ryan Gosling or James Van Der Beek. For me Jake Gyllenhaal .. and rather an F-list celebrity, but Todrick Hall.

    Your wish list is already in the works but is being built from scratch. A lot of the platform engineering for the ELR was already done on the Volt. Different starting points.
  3. Drew Dowdell
    No. You just rub a lot of oil into it first

    Pffft that's totally a veneer. I like real hard wood.
  5. Drew Dowdell
    I'm not all that into those sort of celebrities either preferring to keep it "real".... but it is nice to know I have the option if I want.
  6. Drew Dowdell
    Sorry, celebrities just don't do anything for me.
  7. Drew Dowdell
    like celebrities or something?

    So then why can't Cadillac also produce something high end for CEOs, Movie Stars, and Justin Bieber?
  9. Drew Dowdell
    I don't see it. "and GM recently invested $185 million to support the launch of two new products on the flex line as well:" "The consolidated line at Oshawa Assembly will continue to produce the current generation Chevrolet Impala and Equinox until June 2014." The next Equinox goes into production right after then and they didn't put $185 million into the place just to give it up.

    Well, I feel the same way - I am sure it will be a beauty, but GM will never sell enough of them for it to be a well-known, popular Cadillac. I know the auto makers have to start somewhere with this electric vehicle thing, but the prices on them is a real buzz-kill. It is going to be a low volume halo car...it's a luxury car, so the price is justifiable. It's not a volume Chevy... They'll be lucky if they build & sell 5,000 - 10,000 of these. Build something that will sell to the masses, not to Hollywood stars & corporate CEO's Something like the 2013 Cadillac ATS?

    Because not all product has been announced yet. Omega looms large but it is highly secretive at this point. There are Regal and Lacrosse refreshes coming. Equinox and Terrain refreshes coming. Impala is getting ready to launch. That's just the stuff that we know. GM can't put the cards for 2016 on the table today. I can't imagine that the CAW is at all surprised by the move of the Camaro. GM was not going to build it on the Alpha platform at Oshawa when LGR is currently underutilized and will be an all Alpha production line.

    and the second lamest eco-box at that.

    To put it in perspective, Ford sells 68k F-series, E-Series, and Transit Connect in a month, more Mustangs than the entire Lincoln brand in an entire year.
  14. Drew Dowdell
    Lincoln has sold 74,766 as of November 2012 and if they're lucky will hit 80k sales for the year. 18% is only an increase of 14,447 cars. MKZ should be able to do that on its own. At least the goal is achievable.
  15. Drew Dowdell
    Sorry, but a Volt and a Sentra both holding on to the same percent of residual value after 5 years just doesn't hold water.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    "predicted"

    Speaking of wipers, I noticed the new Fusion has the old school meet-in-the-middle style wipers....IIRC, some GMs in the '80s-90s used that style also--some of the W-bodies and Corvettes IIRC. As does the Escape. Over at GM, the Verano and Encore both do. Seems to be a German thing now.
  18. Drew Dowdell
    Nissan Cube well it fits your criteria!
  19. Drew Dowdell
    eww.. no
  20. Drew Dowdell
    You mean like how Mercedes takes a taxi cab, adds vinyl leatherette and sells it to poor saps in the US for $60k?
  21. Drew Dowdell
    Oshawa is likely getting stuff that is more sales stable than Camaro will be long term.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    The CAW needs to sit down and shut up. There is other production heading to Oshawa.
  23. Drew Dowdell
    this.
  24. Drew Dowdell
    Yes the current naming scheme didn't work well.. Especially in crossovers, but this new one doesn't really fix the problem.
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Like 1/2 an inch, right?
