    I'd like to see Cadillac have a large RWD Blackwing V8 luxury performance 2dr coupe...like a production version of the Elmiraj.... leave the mid engined sportscar niche to Corvette.

    I just avoid stopping for gas in shady/seedy neighborhoods.

    I like the Speed idea...it's like a modern MR2 or Fiero...the small, affordable mid engined sports car...different niche than the Camaro.

    This guy's artwork is really cool..love the subject matter.. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2020/03/03/making-fine-art-of-old-detective-television-show-cars-with-painter-ben-addison/?refer=news&utm_source=edaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-03-03

    Corvette has a history of upgraded performance variations, though....Z06, Grand Sport, ZR1... Cadillac needs to focus on luxury sedans and SUVs.

    and headlights...those look a bit dim

    Maybe the Camaro name will reappear as a crossover coupe, based on Blazer...

    Sharp, but I can’t stand white especially on trucks and SUVs. So overdone. Now dark red or dark brown w z bit of chrome is more to my taste.

    Sounds awful...with Amazon Prime, home basics like coffee, dog food, TP, paper towels, etc all come to me..can't imagine going to a store for the basics..and I rarely go to my local grocery anymore; been using Amazon/Whole Foods home delivery for grocery shopping the last month or so..

    I don't know if it's people avoiding crowds, or just that it's a rainy Monday, but I went to a movie this evening and the theatre overall wasn't very crowded and there were only 3 people in the particular theatre I was in. Or maybe it was because I want to see a music documentary.

    Classic Cadillac names for me that I love are Eldorado, Biarritz, DeVille, Fleetwood, Brougham, Seville....I'd love to see these names over the current acronyms...older names like Series 70 or Series 61 are so far before my time as to have no resonance.
  12. Robert Hall
    But during the 90s-00s (even back to the 80s on some models like the STS trim) Cadillac was pushing to become a modern international brand, more like the Europeans and moving away from the cushy grandpa mobile image, so something from the 50s and before would likely not have been an influence...

    Actually, with Mercedes the naming scheme prior to the early 90s was a 3 digit displacement number followed by one or more letters (or not). The WXXX are internal generational platform codes, not model names. (like the W126, W140, W220 were three generations of the S-class)... WXXX codes are like GM's codes for the trucks, like GMT360, GMT400, etc.

    You talking about the various Series models from ancient times? Series 70, Series 62, Series 61, etc? The only ones used the last 50+ years were Fleetwood Sixty Special and Fleetwood 75 and those haven't been used in decades.. I don't see the correlation between old, forgotten naming schemes and the modern acronyms... I really doubt if marketing resource units in the late 90s/early 00s that started the acronyms had any awareness of long gone naming schemes, they were trying to fit in w/ the Germans.

    Yeah, new body and interior on the Trailblazer/Encore GX platform..that's the GM way...platform sharing, same dirty bits...
  16. Robert Hall
    Well, they could do it on the cheap since they already have the hardware, and it gives them one more CUV in a CUV market.... I can't see them doing a RWD unibody CUV since GM is cheap and likes to reuse their generic FWD/transverse platforms...
  17. Robert Hall
    That leaves room for an XT3 to compete with UX. Wouldn't surprise me Given how GM is adding a lot of new CUVs, it wouldn't surprise me if Cadillac doesn't get it's own version of the Encore GX. Cadillac only has 3 CUVs, compared to Chevy with 6, Buick w/ 4, and GMC with 2...

    Non-Sport is the Mall spec I guess..
  19. Robert Hall
    Yes, before the Olds Toronado...I think it was a long time ago before C&G, but he's mentioned it before. Ocn posted that to try and get him to come out of exile and post something...
  20. Robert Hall
    I suppose the competition would include the XT4, Corsair, Evoque, e-pace, GLA, Q3, X1/X2, XC40...crowded segment.
  21. Robert Hall
    You didn't get ocnblu's reference, though? (Our fearless leader Drew used to own one).

    Haven't had to leave the house in a few days, but sitting here watching the local news, they were showing footage of traffic downtown in the snow and saw a clean 1st gen gold Chevy Lumina 2dr turning at a light...

    Traverse. FWD, V6, largish family car....Tahoe kind of fits the old Impala formula up through '96---full size, BOF, V8 large family car.
  24. Robert Hall
    I'm certainly more inclined to believe climate studies from legitimate university scientists and researchers than corrupt right wing politicians, big oil shills, flat-earthers, and religious zealots.
  25. Robert Hall
    Fascinating random video I saw posted on a couple FB groups...a guy with an in-car camera documenting his commute home on the 405 in LA...in 1988! A real time capsule of traffic and radio from 30+ years ago.
