    Easy, people who fear Hybrids and 48 volt electrical systems like Ocnblu.

    Cadillac Destroyed the competition in GT Racing this year as it came to a close. http://media.cadillac.com/media/us/en/cadillac/racing.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2017/oct/cadillac-racing/1007-championship.html?evar36=MRM_eml_ca_hr_Racing_eNews2_1117_15146153038 Seems BMW and MB need to step up their game if they want to be serious about being a driving machine!

    ATS, CTS, DTS, XTS, CT#, XT# are all forgettable. These auto's will just pass by people who look at the auto industry. Most of BMW and MB auto's are forgettable in the Alphabet crap soup. What we remember is the Names. Cadillac could change everything right now for 2018 and no one would care making the cars and CUVs name based.

    Considering that I cannot fit in my sister's 5 year old Mazda 6, I have to assume I will not be able to fit into this one either. Like the looks of the black dash, hate the white, talk about a dirt magnet. It should continue to sell for them, how well is another question considering that peeps are moving to CUVs.

    Sharp, I love the look of that Rubicon! Interesting 48 Volt Hybrid electrical system, did they rent it from MB?

    No matter what none of the cars look good in any of the colors they show it in.

    We'll this is better than the butt ugly Juke, but then anything would be better I think than the Juke. Interior is nice for an entry level auto.

    Looks as Hideous as all Lexus versions. Just never been a fan of the Predator front end and this one looks even worse with the the way the front hood flows. Anyone that says this looks good needs to have their head examined: The 3rd row is clearly for kids and young teens as I cannot see any adult ever crawling back there. Honestly this whole thing is just a mess. Lexus - FAILURE They should have done a clean sheet start over as the proportions are just all weird, the interior is just OK as it looks just as plasticky as the last one I was in earlier this year.

    So why pay for an S class if this looks like an S class. Guess they want to be below GM as they detuned the HP so Torque is higher than HP. I get the whole Hybrid thing, but I really am scratching my head in regards to the approach MB is taking.

    So much for the Forum software company QA testing.

    We'll to make it really look better, you have to pound the whole bottle, just not a drink.

    I agree that cutting up the original auto to fit on a modern day PHEV platform gives it a golf cart look of plump fatness and they could not even keep the spare tire on the side matching to the new rubber. Just seems really weird. But hey, Mitsubishi gets press and discussions on their pet project.

    Totally agree on the Names are superior to Alphanumeric crap. Really like the external look and internal clean dash. This auto I will have to check out when it is on the lot. Wonder how the internal dimensions are for big people like me. Bill how is the inside and especially back seat for a 6'6" tall person? Wonder if a Hybrid or EV version is on the road map?
  15. G. David Felt
    Agree with the names, but I like their current style. Just keep evolving the Arts and Science. Escalade is and should continue to be the standard on which the rest of the product line up follows.

    Nice update for those that like a station wagon.

    Seems the various mags think it is a god send that MB brought back the inline 6 which has many similarities to BMW inline 6 and makes one wonder if the two are not saving money by engine sharing. Plus GM has had V6 engines with more torque than HP, so how is this engine any different in just a flat look of HP more than Torque compared to the V6 engines with the same terrible design. Clearly something is still missing. To quote Jalopnik: this 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, with its electric motor/generator, electric turbocharger, electric water pump and electric AC compressor, is a thoroughly advanced contraption that promises more than 408 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque. https://jalopnik.com/mercedes-brings-back-the-inline-six-with-408-hp-and-mar-1788404634 How do you justify this parts sharing between the cheapest POS from MB and the world best luxury car S-Class as you call it when you always preach that the top end should have exclusive engines compared to the bottom end. This High HP, low Torque Inline 6 is going into the whole product line from S to C along with the identical 4 bangers and only programming will be the difference between HP / Torque output. This is what GM, Ford and Toyota have done for years and you bash them about it.

    No Joke, If they want a consistent name Hell Cadillac would be better off using a couple concept names and have one for the cars and one for the CUVs and just use numbers to dictate size. Seems everyone just about wants to copy the Germans with a mess of letters and numbers, might as well just use a name and throw a number behind it to represent the product line compared to the stupid current or old naming scheme. Which is better? CT4, CT6, CT8 or Escala 4, Escala 6, Escala 8 XT3, XT5, XT7 or Provoq 3, Provoq 5, Provoq 7 be Cadillac Mgmt.

    https://jalopnik.com/heres-the-2019-mercedes-benz-cls-with-the-awesome-new-s-1820796742 Seems they have all the exterior and interior pictures up showing off this new car and I am now solid in agreement with you that the redesign was phoned in by someone on vacation. Seems many do not like the Matte Silver paint job or the Jelly bean external design with a Frowny Face. Failure MB, Total Failure. Interior is nice but does not wow me and the V6 looks really tight in the engine bay.

    Best comment I read was on this story about the ATS & CTS going away being replaced by the CT5. https://jalopnik.com/cadillac-is-replacing-the-ats-and-cts-with-just-one-sed-1797332648 A commenter stated that Americans CANNOT out Alpha Numeric the Germans, so be true to your history and stay with names. He also says Lincoln smartest move was to keep the Navigator and continental and hopefully they would rename the alphabet soup crap which we know now here is true. Nautilus baby!

    I totally agree, I hear more people ask about what Cadillac has as they really only recognize the Escalade. Cadillac needs to return to their roots of Pure Luxury nameplates with the current quality they have built of driving machines. At least bring some of the concepts to market with those names. I would fully support a killing off of the CT and XT nameplates and going with true name lines. Car line would be great as follows: Escala 4 Escala 6 Escala 8 CUV line would be great as follows: Provoq 3 Provoq 5 Provoq 7 Have to say I like this guy's CUV Concept for Cadillac. https://www.behance.net/gallery/46674461/CADILLAC-SUV-CONCEPT

    Time to have a laugh at how people fix their auto's! Unbelievable Self Repairs!
  23. G. David Felt
    Wonder how many current modern auto's still use standard Oil versus Blended or full Synthetic? I know cadillac is 100% synthetic.
  24. G. David Felt
    We'll looks like every other bland coupe car design from what I see on the picture. Hopefully they have stepped up their game on the inside as I find VW interiors to be totally bland to a bleak sparse approach that i dislike.

    Mitsubishi Converts their 100 Year Old Model A to PHEV This is what you get when you take a 100 year old auto and update it to fit on top of your 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV chassis and powertrain. Amazing but the company says moving forward with superior technology is what the auto industry is all about. They hired West Coast Customs to take their 100 year old auto and modernize it. They have a very cool new site that covers their history at Mitsubishi and the changes of this project as part of their 100 year celebration. Mitsubishi Re-Model A web site They have a great history timeline with pictures of this conversion.
