honestly the only people that won't let the large RWD market die are the older set, who grew up on the stuff, and don't have much time left.  Really, its like 2016.  Most of the general world market w

I was lot trolling while we were on vaca today. Dealer here has a new 16 black SS Manual. 50k. Despite the tame looks it is a sweet car. Options are guzzler tax and moonroof. Absolutely I'd love one o

On the issue of traction alone, FWD cars do better in snow.    But I don't think that is why it doesn't sell very well.   The problem with the Chevy SS is that despite being a great performance ca

Brampton is Canada.

Im a Quebecker and I resent that comment. Especially when Toronto is involved. (or close to Toronto)

Omega and Alpha support AWD.  The only rear drive only Impala would be sold in the south.  That is IF they made a rear drive Impala.

 

The SS as it is positioned is an impossible sell, even more so as car sales drop.  IF they made a rear drive platform Impala, I would make it start with a 200 hp 4 cylinder, and a 335 hp V6 optional.  If priced under $30k you can get sales.  Just like the Charger and 300 do, they both start in the mid-high $20s.  And those things are dinosaurs.

 

Johan deNysschen said on Autoline that small luxury car segment was down 10% worldwide last year, and mid-size luxury market was down 15% globally.   Later on they said how the mid-size sedan market is down 2% this year, and small crossovers are up 17%, I think luxury crossovers are up 25%.   Going toward 2020 and beyond a lot of sedans will die, you need to really have a standout sedan if you want to sell it.  Look at how many coupes have died in the past 10 years, I think that will happen with large sedans and there will only be 3-4 left.

Well a 3 sedan lineup can serve Cadillac just fine.

 

Chevy is going well for sedans - but it's more like the overall pie is shrinking, but GM is getting more of it. Finally though.

 

I'd much rather see Camcord sales flat line and see cars like the Fusion, Malibu and Impala rock'em sock'em.
