    Looks as bland as the rest of the product line. MB continuation of being the Toyota of the World known as Benz. This will help their luxury badge snobs, but giving more plastic blah products that are just as unreliable as the rest.

    Polestar was known as Cyan Racing and has heritage before becoming Polestar in 2010. https://www.polestar.com/intl/ Good info, but they do have a performance / racing heritage.

    AWD and Power at a competative price will do them wonders plus some decent style. They really need to throw out the ultra conservative auto style approach and move forward with the 21st century.

    Love the Suicide Doors, wish they would come back on some of the Auto's!

    This is AWESOME! I thin this will benefit Volvo even more than just making Volvo Polestar performance ICE auto's. Very excited to see what they do. You know China's policy to deal with their smog is a main reason for this along with China owning Volvo / Polestar. Excited, Wonder what dollar level they are going after first? $50-100K first, Higher or lower?

    OK, So was trying to focus on GMC only as my full garage. Thought I was not going to be able to do it and then did figure it out. So Daily Driver - 1994 GMC Yukon GT Small Job Pickup - GMC Granite Large Job Pickup - GMC Sierra All Terrain Extreme off Road Fun - Hummer HX, GMC needs to build it now and badge it GMC. It will sell butt loads. Camping / Play is a toss up between the actual released GMC Motorhome and their GMC Pro Motorhome concept.

    @ykX Nice listing, the only think I would change is the Subaru for an Chevy S-10 Baja Edition from the 90's. Exchange the Land Cruiser for a Power Wagon concept. Keeping my garage all american.

    Your welcome to your opinion of your experience at the dealerships. Mine has never been a positive one at FORD. Sadly FORD has had many bad dealerships on the west coast that have been sued along with ford and FORD has just move owners around and yet the experience stays the same. It is as if FORD takes a Catholic view of their dealerships and just moves troubled owners and staff around never really fixing the problem much like the church has done with priests. As I said, I like some of their products but the dealership experience has left me wishing FORD sold direct and I did not have to deal with the dealership.

    Very cool to see the EV's are going into production.

    Your just feeling the slimmy used car snake oil salesman approach that FORD seems to train their people to be like. FORD has product I like, but their sales approach of the dealerships sucks. I have been to them many times and while I do not talk a person out of buying a FORD product, many have ended up not buying due to the way the dealerships represent the products and their selling approach of any auto. In the case of my son who just bought a Grand Jeep Cherokee. He really liked the looks of the Ford Explorer Sport, but after test driving it and the hounding the sales people did and even the sales manager, he went to Jeep and test drove, 3 different times, no pressure and eventually bought. He did make one comment on the Ford, as much fun as it was to drive the Sport with the Ecoboost TurboV6, the interior compared to the Jeep had a certain cheapness about it in the feel and look of the interior. My family was the same way growing up till arthritis started to hit my mom. My sisters and I all drove manuals. My wife and I did as did our kids but that has changed in the last 17 years as everything we have is an auto. My first auto was the 1994 GMC SLE Suburban I still own and was the only auto till the 1999 Durango we got for our daughter. Working in Seattle always on steep hills, manuals suck. So since then auto's is the standard and better mpg. But at least everyone can drive a manual.

    Montreal and the Province of Quebec is very much Like the Greater Seattle Area. Lucky for me I do not have to deal with stupid French language and the dual language signs. Leave it to history and lets just standardize on English and start populating the stars.

    Seattle is the opposite of FL. The local dealership I go to has 10 XTS in Stock and 9 are AWD, 1 FWD and base trim compared to AWD are Premiums. http://www.dougscadillac.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new&bodyType=CAR&make=Cadillac&model=XTS

    OUCH, Ouch, ouch, FCA Dead man walking in regards to their diesel engines.

    So you're saying without a Convertible, Cadillac is not a luxury brand! So then Apple is not a computer company as they have no Servers. So then Boeing is not an Airplane company as they do not make small individual planes. Paccar, owner of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks is not a truck company, Only a Semi company or Dump truck company. Do you see the irrational thinking in your statement?
  15. G. David Felt
    Cadillac needs the coupe, but I doubt a convertible will make a difference. The days of convertibles are very limited is needed at all especially with the increase in skin cancer. You can be a luxury auto maker without convertibles.

    What a freakin lovely ride! Maximum Stars for sexiness that is missing from today's auto's!

    Isn't that a Texas thing, Steel Beer Cans, turn the dead armadillo over and put one on it's belly out of respect? Guess the south has to have something that can take being shot at!

    Just because you followed the OEM recommended maintenance does not mean this engine was still a flop. This era was the move to 100K mile maintenance free auto's. Lazy Americans that would not follow a 30K mile tune up and other scheduled needs would drive the auto and have it fail repeatedly. One only has to look at the web to see all the horror stories and failures about the chrysler, GM and FORD engines of this era. People tell me all the time they are shocked to see my 1994 GMC SLE suburban still running and yet I do the basic tune ups and required maintenance and it runs like a champ. Would I like a 100K tune up schedule sure. But that is not what the 80's and 90's were about for the American OEM. They still thought 70's as Japan moved to 100K maintenance free auto's.

    Aston Martin has launched their new product line, AM37. A power boat. http://www.dailymotion.com/f3c135a2-bc3d-4188-a420-a9bede4f56ea

    Always cool to have a product to compete against the Japanese, Europe and America, but this would not be on my list if I could fit and wanted a small auto.
  21. G. David Felt
    Yea, I agree, I am also very surprised it took this long, course according to the last reports, they still have millions and millions of airbags to replace under recall. My gut tells me they dragged this out as long as possible to finish stealing every cent the company had before declaring bankruptcy and dumping the company. The brand name is dead, no one wants a product from them. Gotta wonder who is building the replacements as the auto companies are struggling to get them built and replaced last time this subject was discussed.
  22. G. David Felt
    Me thinking he is talking about FCA selling off various brands. I could see if fined like VW, them selling Jeep and RAM for cash to survive and then dumping the rest of the american auto labels as they pull back to just Europe again leaving Fiat and Alfa in america Dead Men Walking AGAIN!

    Always cool to see what the Japanese are doing in the auto industry and the lovely models they have at the shows. Girls of Tokyo Auto Salon Very cool stuff EV Bike anyone? Nothing like having your kid piss in an juice container. Japan Custom Vans Yes a bing page but wow, they are crazy for their custom modifications that we used to do here in the 70's and 80's in the US. Japan Anime Auto's Bing page but WOW, talk about crazy custom mods.
  24. G. David Felt
    Cool

    They got American Iron at least besides everything else. My gut tells me they are trying to Anime the auto's that are so weird looking.
