No. The R8 is not the only Audi sports car in existence. Plus, Cadillac is having trouble selling regular cars now. You want them to spend huge amounts of money to push a sports car model? Not going to happen. That isn’t how the car business works. GM execs will have a very hard time selling that idea in board…

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…

And Audi took 20+ years to change perceptions.

Pretty much what I was thinking as I read the write-up. GM’s Lee wasn’t wrong about lifestyles and buying habits. Wasn’t wrong about Apple (now). They made the mistake of ignore how Apple got there. Apple products were good after their revival. Once popularity was up, buyers cared less about the product and just…

There is no ROI. For many of them they are just hobbies of some rich playboy son of some royal SOB of some oil producing land.

It would be a more trailer park version of Swift. Oh... hmmm. BBIAB.

Nah, it should be called “Blimey!”

Oh brother...

That is not the point. The point is a single data point doesn’t warrant a conclusion.

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.
