    Johan de N seemed pretty ambitious...may have said something like that...doesn't matter, not going to happen...

    Compact premium is a crowded space...also have the A3 and A4, IS/RC, Q-somethings from Infiniti, XE, Guilia, CLA....

    Yes, and the tunnel is smaller. Transverse engine FWD cars usually have a bigger interior space relative to the wheelbase because the firewall is closer to the front axle. Often results in awkward styling, since w/ RWD the firewall-to-front axle distance is longer..
  4. Robert Hall
    Point taken. Probably made claims like that on internal sales goal documents, but not publicly.
  5. Robert Hall
    Well, the 3 series is the obvious target of a car like the ATS, since the 3 series is the market leader.
  6. Robert Hall
    Not talking about that, talking about legroom--fore-aft distance. And FWD cars usually do have a tunnel, for the exhaust system or driveshaft (on FWD/AWD models).

    I assume the RWD proportions are part of that issue. The XTS is FWD with a 3 inch shorter wheelbase than the CTS, but has more legroom due to the proportions? In a FWD sedan, it seems the interior gets a bigger % of the wheelbase than with RWD. How does the CTS rear seat space compare to it's competitors like the 5-series, E-class, etc? I've noticed that difference in older Cadillacs--the DTS had a wheelbase within an inch of the RWD STS, but felt roomier in the backseat, IMO.

    Yeah, after finishing the move in June 2017, the garage was full of boxes. Took until October last year to clear a spot for the Jeep. After 9 years in the desert w/ carports and parking in the driveway, having a garage again was a novel thing for me..;)

    Very Small Something Sportsutility ?

    Hard to tell alot from the disguised prototypes, but the greenhouses don't seem to have changed much from the ATS and CTS.

    I should have done this a year ago but was too burnt out from the move then....shuffled a bunch o' crap to the shed, threw out a bunch of crap, and had Junk King remove some old lockers and cabinets along the side wall of the garage that I didn't use. I still need to repaint the inside of the garage, but now I can get both cars in...very tight nonetheless... I wonder what they had in here 50 years ago.

    I like the looks of the Edge...interested in seeing how the next Explorer, the Bronco and Aviator turn out...

    My use case is such that I rarely ever use the 2nd row for people...dogs going to the groomers or vet is about the most use it gets.
  14. Robert Hall
    I don't need a 3rd row, so for the price, styling, features and broad range of trim levels, for a midsize, I'll stick with (surprise) Jeep Grand Cherokee.

    Saw a black late model Chevy Caprice PPV in traffic... I think it was a civilian, not sure..didn't have excess antennas or hidden lights that I could see, and ordinary plates. Interesting how much these look like the '05-13-ish Impalas from behind...

    Most Rainiers now are rusty old used SUVs, nothing 'macho' about that...
  17. Robert Hall
    Apples and oranges; can't really compare old SUVs from the last decade with their cheesy plastic interiors to new CUVs.
  18. Robert Hall
    I like the looks of the CX-9 inside and out...I could see myself in one.
  19. Robert Hall
    I wonder if the next Tahoe and Suburban will get the same styling cues...tiny windows, giant ugly grille...
  20. Robert Hall
    A neighbor down the street had their garage door open, while driving by I spied a dusty '87 Buick Grand National on jack stands inside...

    I've had bad results w/ Epson printers, but those have been cheap ones. My most recent one wouldn't recognize it had paper in it after replacing the ink cartridges the first time. I rarely ever print anything, but have a 10 yr old Lexmark 3n1 that still works great. Heavy, a bit slow, it still keeps going.

    Side window treatment looks like a rising belt line similar to the Encore, but with a quarter window or different C-pillar trim? Maybe it will have the opera window w/ floaty roof style trim like the Terrain..
  23. Robert Hall
    Yeah, the STS replaced the FWD Seville (which had an STS trim), RWD version made from '05-11. 10 years ago, it was CTS, STS and DTS, like how now it's ATS, CTS, and XTS... (with CT6 in a parallel track to XTS). (Cadillac is currently in flux between two generations of sedan naming schemes...the letter-TS names being replaced by the CT-digit names)...
  24. Robert Hall
    Velcro or double-sided tape, then?
  25. Robert Hall
    The glue that holds it on doesn't hold up to heavy rain?
