Never forget this is the same company that basically did this:
“Hey let’s make this awesome RWD platform and put an awesome engine in it and awesome suspension bits and then let’s make it ugly and impossible to see out of it and when it doesn’t sell we can just make it ugly in a slightly different way but it’ll still be impossible to see out of and nobody will want one” is an…
There’s nothing else like the Wrangler. Convertible, truck, SUV, family hauler, off-roader, perceived reliability, perceived cheap parts, relatively cheap (versus other full size SUVs), “cool factor”. It ticks so many boxes I can totally understand why they’re popular. I’d rock one if my commute wasn’t mostly…
c’mon FCA, you have one product left that people want to buy....
They were hoping those two parts would rust themselves together. Nature’s weld.
JK - death wobble

Love that scene! Guy should have gotten an award for the best exposition ever done.
I wonder what the pitch meeting in GM’s design committees’ offices were/are like. They have to be trolling everyone, right? It has to go something like this:
(several years ago)
“The product planners want us to make a midsize crossover. Ford’s Edge is still doing well, and the bosses think folks want a Chevy version.”
“Ye…
I’m either completely out of touch with the modern buyer ...or exactly in the same position as they are for vastly different reasons.
That joke is right up there with mall crawl. yeah yeah, just because you see them in town all shiny and clean doesn’t mean they don’t get dirty...it just means you aren’t in the dirt enough to see them there.
Engineers notes: test vehicle performed as expected.
While I pity the fool, those warnings could be improved. There should be a warning strobe light sign that flashes indicating the truck is too high.
On that note, it appears they’re... around.
I’m just waiting for cars like the Porsche Mission E or whatever BMW, MB, Volvo, Audi, etc have tucked up their sleeve. I think it will be very hard to Tesla to compete in a few years, but props to them for starting the trend and continuing to stay afloat.
Tesla is still a car company in their infancy that is simply faking it til they make it. Nobody in their right mind with $80,000+ to spend should choose a Model S over something like the upcoming Porsche Mission E. When the Germans fully join the party its going to be game over for Tesla as an automobile manufacturer.
Another example of the owner being underwater with their car purchase.
I’m pretty sure if you stuff it with a bunch of rice that it’ll be dry and raring to go in no time.
CT5, CT6, ATS, CTS, XTS....goddammit, I want the old names back. Gimme a Deville, Seville, Eldorado, Fleetwood, Talisman, even a Catera instead of this alphabet soup nonsense. Find this ONE WAY not to ape the Germans and I’d respect Cadillac a lot more.
