November Car Spotting Thread
Front tire looks a bit flat, but WOW, that is in Cherry condition. Wonder if they got it from an Estate sale. I have found many older auto's in cherry condition from estate sales. Nice catch Drew.

Want to Hear Somebody Take a Dump on the CT6?
I would agree, the CT6 is leaps above what Caddy made in the past, but there is the rub, the past is always the next day, so you need to consistently obsolete yourself to be better than the competition. Welcome to the 21st century of what the High Tech industry has pushed on the world. 90 days later, your out of date.

Industry News: More Consumers Find Themselves 'Upside Down' On Trade-Ins
Not surprised by this at all, it really is to be expected when creative financing allows people of little income to buy at a level that requires double if not triple what they really can afford. The dealers and auto companies need to stop offering creative financing to people that do not have the credit or income to support driving an auto that is outside their means.

VW News: Call Me Arteon, The Successor To the Volkswagen CC
Failure!, Coupe design is so over done. VW has a history of doing a jelly bean generic blend that does not stand out. At this point, they are hurting so bad due to the diesel scandal that they could use a hit with a truly fresh and stand out design. Time to bring back some original sedan designs that are a break from the coupe design.

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-Benz USA Passes On X-Class Pickup... For the Time Being
Hummer should have had the Alpha out day one when they did a truck. That would have made them a leader with many sales. They did too little too late for the trucks in Hummer. Cadillac had a winning truck and walked away from it for stupid reason I am pretty sure. They should have continued the Avalanche and the EXT. Lincoln truck was cool but way too wrong for the market. Failure from the concept to the end. MB could do a truck and I think making it part of the G-Class would be a smart way to go with a butch Military Luxury ride. I think MB could find buyers for the badge job then.

Thank you, yes it was a wonderful 49th b-day. 1 more and the big 50 hits me and yet I still have not hit middle age meltdown. Spent the day bowling with the family, then they took me out to lunch and I got movies to add to my rather large 1400+ movie collection. Over all a great day. Everyone have a great week. Mine is starting out swell.

Rip Off or Compliment?
So True with BMW and then you have what I consider a cardinal sin. MB with making every model look identical from the cheap A series to the S series, other than size, most cannot tell which is which with that mess.

Want to Hear Somebody Take a Dump on the CT6?
I read this and while I love the CT6, some things still clearly need to be addressed. Yet with that said, I think they also clearly missed issues with the others too. Over all the biggest issue is the CUE and I do wonder when Cadillac will realize that they need to make a drastic change here on that system. I personally have not had the issue with CUE that many here and in other web sites covering the auto industry have had. With that said, I will say that the touch pad sucks, but then they all do and especially for me as it seems they only work about 10% of the time especially on laptops. The day they stop incorporating the little joystick between the GHB keys I will be forced to always have a mouse.

Rip Off or Compliment?
@ccap41 I agree with you that the current product line for me at least still stirs a desire to own the latest version. Now if I can just pay off my son's and Wife's college bills. So glad they are done, then I can get back to enjoying buying auto's. @Cory Wolfe I see your valid point, I do think and agree that Cadillac needs to tweak the A&S design language. They still need to keep certain elements in tack like the vertical LED tail lights as well as a few other attributes, but they do need to tweak it here and there.
