Well, let’s see. The G3 don’t use names. They do well. Cadillac paid marketing people a lot of money to go on the path there on. I’d be willing to bet they did a lot of research around that.

But it is all the same. Look at Mercedes and their SUV line up now. WTF is going on with those names? Why deviate from the ML that has “so much cache?” Is anyone going to care? No. Why? Mercedes. I own a Benz. You don’t sell a car on a name. You sell it on an experience. The allure of something exclusive and great.…

So you agree with what I’m saying. The only people who care are grey hairs. The market Cadillac is no longer going after.

That’s cool. You’re 100% in the minority. Exactly why Cadillac is doing what they’re doing.

No one likes your pointless comments...

Except I won’t be holding on to such stupidity.

The only people who care about names are gray hairs who can’t let go of their golden years. No one care about names. Get over it.

But that’s kind of my point... American’s forget that most “needs” are “wants.” Technically, no body NEEDS a car at all. It’s all wants.

I don’t know. It hasn’t happened yet and I’m not very good at predicting the future...

Sure, but even a 528i, 4000lb luxury barge, does 60 in less than 6 seconds. That’s more than fast enough for anyone’s daily drive.

True, and I did clarify in my response to someone else. Weight is big but automaker’s are pushing the limited on weight lose and control. He pointed to the Malibu being down in HP and that being a problem. Not really though as car’s loses weight. But, again, even in the 5 series case... 240 hp is a lot. It moves that…

But is it really that bad if you’re losing weight as well? The Malibu is going to be 200 lbs lighter. You don’t need the same motor performance to give you the same “enthusiast numbers.” I think we’ve been so conditioned into thinking everything needs to be more. More is better.

I don’t really understand this argument. 250 hp is more than enough for anyone. Hell, my 205 hp Acura is more than enough. People also must realize they don’t NEED a 350 hp daily driver. Those that want it in the future will pay to play.

Do tell. And please, don’t go on and on about a shot clock violation against Kentucky.

Dilfer is a moron... why does he even have a platform?

LOL gift wrapped? Because of the “shot clock violation?” Good one.

Somebody’s butt hurt...

You are 100% incorrect. The wheel base on this rests right with the current SWB 7 series and A8. It’s not a flagship because it’s not a competitor to the LWB versions or the US S-class.

To be honest, I'd rather the government use our money trying to progress things such as battery tech and alternative energies and fail then watch them use it to pay off their buddies with pet projects.

To be fair, it's both parties. But you're correct. Anything and everything will be on the table to knock the left down a few pegs before election. Why does this country constantly run in place again? Oh, we're too busy trying to win.
