Yeah let’s just not really discuss teh MOPAR RWD conversion forteh Plymouth Laser and Dodge Daytona that should have begotten RWD versions of these cars, allowing Chrysler to actually get in the RWD sport coupe game fairly cheaply and no look like a bunch of broke chump during this point in time.
This a seems like the epitome of a bad idea.
1. Stop buying vehicles as “investments”. That is what businesses and multi-millionaires what more money than sense do. Even if you are going to flip the vehicle (Turn around and sell it) on a lease in 3 years, get something you might actually want to keep or at least miss when you do flip it.
It looks cooler than it deserves but somehow just looks happy... and that is all that is required.
Actually with the “breathing holes”, it has a grill and that actually helps it look NOT GENERIC, A demonstrative step up from Tesla’s “we forgot to remove the protective cover before painting” front end.
They thing scream pure function. Just the sort of thing businesses and serious truck users would want. Urban cowboys and soccer moms afraid of driving their very poor driving won’t apply. Not sorry.
I never said the performance of these vehicles was based on their shape. If you know anything about these vehicles, which I assume you think I do not, then you would know better than that.
Your point is not lost on me. But you complaint still adds up to the same thing.
The Veloster N is functionally the i30 N the only real differnece is they look different from each other. It’s like complaining, if rightly, Europe gets the Sirocco and we only get the Golf. Both cars’ performance variants are functionally identical, we just get one body style and not at least get the option of the…
On another car. I would not buy this guy.
I would go with a straight turbo four. Nothing insane. Just a yeoman engine from the Toyota parts bin. A much less expensive platform and vehicle. A bit more room on the interior. The car really should feel much bigger inside, just sitting in it, than it looks.
Yeah sure. Just do NOT let anyone see teh massive gas powered generators and support trucks.
Actually, the Ginetta G60 is an RMR sport car, not unlike the Porsche 718/Cayman.
I would just have GM develop a new DSG/DCT. The torque-convertor automatic is fine for a Buick or Cadillac, but for a sports car? I get it it makes teh car more available to more drivers thus selling more units, and making money is the BIG goal here. But GM could stand to expand their transmission portfolio. I do not…
To your first few paragraphs I have to say “Can the defeatist talk”. I would go deep into a response but I’ll say this. You could have saved me ten minutes of reading and just said “Cadillac should not even try”.
When Cadillac was “taking it to the Germans” they were on the right track. They had a goal to aim for and it was NO SECRET what they needed to do to hit the mark even destroy it. But GM, as ever more focused of profit that product that will make the profit, forced Cadillac to settle on “good enough” even as Cadillac…
YOu are not wrong. GM needs to 1) get out fo Cadillac’s way and 2) Cadillac needs to stop settling for “good enough”. Get those two things to start and I think Cadillac will do great from that point forward.
What Cadillac need to really do to convince is to pick ONE thing, get good at it, and then get better at it relentlessly, non-stop, forever.
Unfortunately, right now. EV bikes are usually stupid expensive simply because of the tech involved. NO ONE currently makes inexpensive or actually cheap EV bikes.
Oh, that must apply to Euroepans as well then, “G”. As I recall Ferrari is ditching Manuals, Lamborghini as well, Porsche is one slow quarter of manual sells from ditching them entirely, Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are not too keen on them as they barely discuss their existence in their cars any more.
