False. Cadillac has never been a sports car company. To sell a sports car they would require a massive rebranding (hint, extremely expensive and risky exercise).

Indeed. Driving dynamics is not apparent in your typical 5 minute (if that) dealer test drive. It is also not apparent when you’re stuck in traffic most of the time. It not even apparent through the typical American interstate on/off ramp. It is most apparently on a twisty country road. How many American consumers…

Nail on the head.

You have it backwards. Cadillac isn’t going to get much different with De Nysschen’s departure. The cars weren’t B- because of him. He didn’t design, engineer and build the cars. He may have taken where the brand needed to be in terms of marketing, but couldn’t move design/engineering and manufacturing away from the…

Yes! absolutely.

Maybe a daily dose of Evoltis would help.

Didn’t say it was. It’s just meaningless—not enough data points to draw anything remotely close to a qualitative conclusion regarding the XC90s.

Lies. Damn lies. And statistics. For this stat to be of any significance you need to compare this stat to comparable car(s) of other marques and take into account their total numbers (in the same time frame). This alone tells us nothing other than a coincidence.

Yah it sounds like something us old farts (who aren’t excited by the M2 Competition) need to take to get it up.

Did anyone say it’s new? I don’t think so.

Nobody’s perfect. You?

Then it’s not really frameless.
