  1. The 300, Charger, Lacrosse, Avalon, Genesis, Passat each do what they do in a more stylish or interesting way and each have a unique combination of features that makes each one a more valid choice over the Cadenza no matter what feature you favor most. Want room and fuel economy? Go see your VW dealer about a Passat TDI. Looking for Lexus Light luxury? Go visit the Toyota or Buick dealer in your area. Want RWD handling and luxury with the possibility of a V8? Chrysler and Hyundai would love to have a conversation with you. Want aggressive sportiness and an optional V8? Charge over to Dodge. The only one I can think of that doesn't have a compelling case over the Cadenza is the Taurus... so if you're shopping for a Taurus... then sure, go give the Cadenza a look. Otherwise the only time you'll see one of these is when you get upgraded to a "luxury car" the next time you're at Avis.
  2. Except GM did do it this way already. Their first big foray into hybrids was on Buses.
  3. Common Drew, that little picture does not do your mug justice! Larger version.
  4. Aside from the CTS-V which has best in class power anyway, what engines does the CTS have that are out of the Chevy Parts Bin? The 3.6 and 3.0 both went to Cadillac first and both have higher ratings than the same engines in the other divisions (save for Camaro).
  5. You realize that not everyone is a speed freak right? The 0-60 may be in the 8 second range but that doesn't mean the car will feel slow in normal driving. Drivers appreciate the low end torque of Voltec. The Fleetwood was also an 8 second car and few people would find that car to be slow in normal driving even today.
  6. I don't think all trucks are so bouncy.... I think that is a Tacoma specific trait
  7. If Benz and BMW can sell premium micro sub-compacts in the US (and they are coming) then Buick can certainly try... especially with something as good as the Adam as the base.
  8. I think many people being called racist are just expressing their cultural preferences in dating in a very racially bigoted way..... they disqualify a race based on the perceived culture in that race. Anyone can find attractive and beautiful people of any race.
  9. Sometimes things are posted on other sites that were obtained in legally questionable ways. Even if Jalopnik had full on pictures of the car that were obtained in an illegal manner, I would still not have allowed them to be posted on C&G.
  10. If carscoops is going to give a history of a vehicle, they should at least get the history correct. The first Escalade was not a "hastily built and hardly restyled Yukon Denali". The Yukon Denali was designed from the start to be the Escalade (even if not in name). Cadillac rejected it because a "premium brand, luxury truck/SUV would never sell". So the design was given to GMC. Only after the Navigator started rolling off the lots in haste AND Lincoln took the luxury crown did Cadillac take the design back.
  11. looks excellent in person!
  12. Please move further comments to the ELR article link above.
  13. So Cadillac should move BACKWARDS in technology just to satisfy you SMK? I've been liking Mercedes Benz more and more lately, but you know what bugs me about them? The Cheap cheap cheap feeling climate control dials. I'm sure you prefer those fisher price feeling things though...
  14. Great looking in person.
  15. I've updated the Live Shots gallery with my pictures from last night.
