Visually, everything on it works, except for that damned grille/headlight shape combo. The grille is too “smiley” and the way it undercuts the headlight housings looks like the thing is apologizing for itself (“excuse me, pardon me, coming through...”)

Uh-huh...

Ford took the successful Land-Rover-esque styling of the old model, dialed it up a notch,

Well you can say the Lego probably has better initial quality than the Land Rover.

From a styling perspective, I think that this looks pretty good except for the front end, which has all the right elements and all the wrong proportions. The hood needs to be a couple inches longer, the grille needs to be a couple inches shorter, and the angle of the front end makes it look like it has a massive,…

Here’s what happens with that.

I’m beginning to think there is something very wrong with the way GM does business

It’s too bad Cadillac/GM couldn’t be more like Mercedes and sell something with universal appeal to other markets. It would hedge their bets against the changing tastes from one nation to the next. They’ve become too regional in their product planning, except for maybe China.

“I’m beginning to think there is something very wrong with the way GM does business if they don’t find it worthwhile to continue building a good car that outsells many of its competitors in the segment.”

Well said, somebody needs to be slapped across the face for even entertaining the fact of putting a 4 cyl under the hood of a "Flagship Sedan". WTF! Even the Hyundai Genesis came with a V8 at its initial launch. The FWD setup in the Continental was completely unacceptable, Caddy at least had the decency to keep it…

This is typical GM behavior. They bring out a new car that isn’t quite done. It doesn’t sell well. GM improves the shortcomings after 2-3 years and just as soon as the car is right they cancel it. The CT6 should have had the flagship V8 engine option from the very start and never should have had the four cylinder…

You figure with the Genesis G80 and G90 sedans selling fairly well as well as BMW 5 and 7 series plus MB E and S class sedans that there would still be a market for the very competitive Cadillac CT6 sedan even with CUV’s Cadillac and the other brands doing well. Who knows we might get sedan and coupe nostalgia by say…

There was some damn good content today.

I would also add one bit of advice when seriously considering taking out a car (or house) loan:

With all the front wheel drive cars gone, it would be a fantastic time to offer a Mustang-based sedan.  I bet a lot of the costs are already taken care of.

Curt,

You do realize it’s the 75th anniversary of D-day right? That’s what all of this content is about. While that accident is certainly a tragedy, there simply isnt a more appropriate time for these stories and coincidence should not equal causation 

Toyota and Honda continually reinvests in their cars. They redesign their cars about every six years or so, with a mid-cycle refresh in between. They’ve been selling the same nameplates (Corolla, Camry, Civic, Accord) for decades.

GM, Ford, and FCA routinely let their cars wither on the vine for years past their…
