I’m in the same boat as you, such a disappointment
I’m in the same boat as you, such a disappointment
My 16' CTS-V has 8 track days, So what do you mean no one is tracking these?
Considering I own a 16' CTS-V that I bough new, and have had a 16' ATS-V and 12' CTS-V wagon in the last 5 years. Not to mention 2 other Cadillacs in the last 6 years, I am their customer base. This announcement really shows me the engineers left and the Accountants are back running the show.
My next car will be…
As someone who currently has a 16' CTS-V, and has owned a ATS-V and 12' CTS-V Wagon, I really hope they have another model coming. I think calling these cars a “V” is a disservice to the brand.
While I understand BMW and Mercedes have their “lite” M cars and AMG cars (340I, 550I, C430, and etc) that is what the…
“Marketing”
Can confirm, I’m selling a car right now. I’ve had it for 8.5 years and if you look at the car fax it looks neglected other than state inspections. But it doesn’t show that I’ve changed the oil religiously and kept it under a car cover and on a charger for most of my time with it.
A year after we got our 08 Z06 we took it on a 5K mile road trip to CA and back to TX. the luggage area stayed the same temp as the rest of the car. we also have tint and a luggage shade. The center console can get toasty.
I’ve had a 2008 Z06 for 8 years now, the car has given me no issues.
The struggle is real, in our 03 Escape, people tailgate or speed up to stay in front (even when I’m doing 80 in a 65/70), but in my truck or CTS-V people either stay away or do the whole magnetism thing.
While I agree on the ludicrous 100K price tag of an fancy Tahoe, You can see yourself out on the taillight comment.
The current gen focus was the first small car I liked, followed by the last Gen Cruze, I actually wanted to rent one.
Got a similar story.
Rewind to 2005-2007 on Hwy 21 headed towards College Station, TX back from GF’s ranch. Speed limit is 65 and to avoid getting caught with a plug of traffic after the speed trap that is Caldwell Tx, I put cruise control on 81 in my 01 Silverado. Shortly after getting up to speed my Radar detector…
Your argument is invalid, the whole point to a track day is to stay on the track, once you go off, all bets are off. under your reasoning I could argue the having a pit wall immediately adjacent to a corner exit is negligent as it creates a hazard if you take the corner too hard.
Kim exited with too much speed, pushed…
I owned the wagon and thought this was by far the worst.
As a Cadillac ATS-V & CTS-V owner, I mostly disagree. There are some things they do, reflector placment, that seem out of place, but over all they look simple and clean like the rest of the car. On the V models all those front vents do something and Cadillac’s theme really is simple, clean, and purposeful and the rear…
Like others have said, F150 can be high to insure due to the sheer numbers on the road and where you live. If you live in a border state, trucks have a high instance of teft. I pay 4300 a year for 6 cars (30's, Married, Male, No tickets). 4 of the vehicles have full comp (1000 deduct, 300/500)
Full Comp:
2016 ATS-V
2016…
Didn’t Toyota know they could have saved themselves 1,000s of hours in Engineering if they just fitted E3 diamond fire plugs?
How so?
2003 they started their turn around, and have gained back market share ever since. Was CUE a mistep, yes, but as someone who has owned or owns 4 caddillacs since 2012, they have gotten better with deisgn, quality, and materials every design refresh.
Do they have issues, yes, but every car company does. There is…
I agree, BS, but I love to buy tires, when I get bored I see what I can buy next. I know, I’m a monster.
As an ATS-V owner in TX with freeway speeds generally in the 75-80 range, 6 gears is needed. We had a 07 GT 5 spd and that car was annying on the freeway compared to our 08 Z06.
