Very bland and boring. And it has mega granny car image. Better to find an Aurora of that era.

Ugly color and it does look like a backyard hot rodder. A ton of power, but it is probably a disaster to drive. And that style Cadillac shouldn't be about a massive engine, it should be about dignified and refined driving.

The best looking GM car of the 1990s. Although I like how my Aurora is a little smaller and lighter and I like my interior more than that one. Plus my radio antenna is built in, not a power up and down one. And this car isn't black, the 90s Aurora needs to be black for the true stealth bomber feel.

Not worth $6,000 let alone $16,000. it is a 14 year old Grand Am. Regardless of mileage it is still a 14 year old Grand Am. Move along, nothing to see here.

The 210 hp A4 costs as much or more than cars with 260-280 hp though. And it isn't like the A4' interior or feature content is amazing to compensate. For example, a 280 hp V6 Passat is about $29k. The A4 is just sort of a yawn car, and a wow price. Fixed. No, the A4 has a good interior. The A4 interior is better than the CTS, certainly far better than any Buick.

The interior on the RDX belongs on a CR-V, it is horrible for a luxury vehicle. The Acura ILX interior on the other hand is jsut awful for any type of vehicle. It is like a 90s Accord. I don't get how Acura sells cars, the interiors are terrible, the exteriors are ugly and the powertrain is from a Honda. If you like that, just buy a Honda and save the money.

Would be nice to see the Veloster turbo engine in the Elantra. But nice to see they added some body styles.

That thing is ugly, the Transit looks better. Why do these things always have tiny 2 liter engines, if GM did a van like this with the 2.5 liter 4-cylinder they could have the powerhouse of the group!

I like the old one more, but I also don't like Granite or Terrain styling.

The 220 hp Regal costs as much or more than cars with 260-280 hp though. And it isn't like the Regal interior or feature content is amazing to compensate. For example, a 280 hp V6 Passat is about $29k. The Regal is just sort of a yawn car, and a wow price.

I think Hyundai's whole car line is pretty desirable right now. Genesis/Equus is about 3,000 cars a month, that isn't a stand alone brand. And they don't have the image to compete against luxury marques. I've driven a Genesis, it is nice car, I wouldn't have a problem buying one with the H badge on it.

The King has suspension, steering, chasis, and brakes that the others don't. If a lowly 4-cylinder 3-series can do 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, I am not worried about the speed an M3 will put forth.

The change it needs is a way to get the price down. The GS doing 0-60 in 6.7 seconds at 27 mpg is nothing. A 328i does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds and gets 36 mpg at the same price. Either the Buick needs more fuel economy and speed or less price, and I would vote for less price to go against the Azera and Maxima type cars.

Looks like a Camry.

I actually think they are fine with the way it is. Having the Genesis and Equus helps build image for the Hyundai brand and sell more at the lower end. Since the Genesis went on sale, the Hyundai brand has been doing really well. If it isn't a seperate dealer network, or even separate brand (like Ford-Lincoln in one dealer) I don't really see the point of trying to seperate it. Plus the cost, when the Genesis and Equus are low volume cars. It is confusing already that the coupe and sedan are both Genesis, if the brand is Genesis do they rename the coupe 3.8C, the sedan 3.8S and the Equus 5.0SE, that is lame.

Hooray for M Power, and especially Twin M Power Turbos!

I don't know how you really back up a claim of most dependable or how to dispute it. Chevy has always made that claim, Ford can't really disprove it. Ford shouldn't stir the pot, it just makes them look bad, unless they want to offer a mega warranty on F150 becaue they feel so strongly about the product. But neither of these is as tough as a Toyota Hilux. The ad is okay, but it isn't even all that great. The top 2 car ads are the Hyundai Veloster vs Cheetah, and the Kia Optima with Adriana Lima. The Ferris Buhler style CR-V ad is decent too, but it is pretty long.

Stop the insanity. I can't wait for this SUV fad to be over. Why does BMW need 4 SUVs and 5 counting the X1 that may come here? That is stupid. And the problem is most of the people supporting this "I want a new SUV that isn't an SUV, but is trendy to park at Starbucks" are the yuppie types that buy BMWs. What is happening to performance? Automakers want to make econoboxes and SUVs now, and kill sport sedans and coupes.

Agreed with Camino, GM does like to squander RWD platforms. They gave up fast on the Sigma SRX and STS, Zeta will be pretty short lived, who knows what they do with Alpha.

Cheers, this is perhaps the last time Cadillac was Cadillac. Although $60k or more is a bit steep.

Yes and rarely does GM do like Toyota and replace a Camry with a Camry or Corolla with Corolla. GM lets a car die on the vine, then kills it off waits 3 months and releases an entirely new product with a new name. Like minivans and GMT360s get killed to be later replaced by Lambdas and the current Equinox, which is nearly the size of the GMT360 Trailblazer.

3-series and G37 offer coupe and convertible, A5 and C-class coupes, Lexus IS convertible, if that is what the ATS wants to compete with, looks like they need a coupe and/or convertible. Their 5 closes competitors offer it. The BMW 6-series used to be smaller than the CTS, but now it is 1 inch longer, still in the mid-size segment though. But few luxury makes do a mid-size coupe.

Lambas are hurting, they seem to be fading away. Cadillac has no product, the Regal is overpriced for what it is. So not surprised to see Buick and Cadillac take a dip. GMC didn't do well, I still don't think they need that brand. What surprises me is that more people bought a Sonic than a Camaro. I know it is cheaper, but the Sonic is putting up solid numbers for that price segment.

Since the Supercharged XF makes 470 hp, I think they could just make the XFR at 550 hp. Do they really need 470, 510, and 550 hp options, seems like a lot for lower volume cars like Jaguar makes. I'd rather see the XFR bumped to 550 hp, and the XFR-S version being the same engine but lighter weight through carbon fiber, magnesium, titaniam, etc. More importantly, where is the XJR???

Mercedes makes a C-class coupe and E-class coupe so there is definately room for both. But why does the CTS have to go up in size? E-class wheelbase: 113.2" Length/Width/Height: 191.7"/73.0"/57.9" 3,825 lbs (base) CTS wheelbase: 113.4" Length/Width/Height: 191.3"/72.5"/58.0" 3,854 lbs (base) The CTS is the correct size, aside from the trunk is smaller than competitors. The CTS's price is the problem if the ATS is to be priced against the A4/3-series/C-class. And then do people want to pay $50-60k for a V6 CTS when the CTS was always Cadillac's cheapest car. Looks like the ATS coupe is on hold for a while, which is a shame. Cadillac must have some fears, otherwise they'd roll out more body styles and engines.
