I’m definitely not sold on Cadillac’s new design direction. It’s the lack of strictly vertical headlights and taillights that do it for me. The Escalade, Elmiraj, and Ciel are all critically acclaimed expressions of Cadillac design language, and I believe that’s largely due to the stacked lighting elements.

I actually prefer the un-edited concept. It looks grand, as any serious grand tourer should be.

Marchionne should definitely make that Dodge’s new slogan

I wish Acura would go full SH-AWD

Toyota Camry of yuppies: Audi A4

The Toyota Camry of well-off moms: Lexus RX

That’s definitely the Porsche Cayenne.

That’s easy. People want a car they can drive and, most of all, live with. Little and light cars are a fun novelty.

Am I the only car enthusiast who doesn’t really care about model bloat over the decades? As a tall, muscular guy, I’d rather not be crushed in a cramped tin can during an accident, fast or slow.

I disagree. The sales charts and profit/loss statements over the years proved that the Germans changed the luxury game forever thanks to performance. The ideal for American luxury is a balance between road presence, luxury, and performance.

This, and anything else RWD with a 120"+ wheelbase is as close as we’ll get.

Personally I think the GLE Coupe pulls it off the absolute best.

I would’t describe it as “willing”. More like mis-educated and mis-informed to the point of not knowing any better.

That’s actually reasonable. I still disagree on some points, but I’m sorry about my inflammatory comment.

Are you kidding me? The C7 is a looker to this day. What are you talking about? Hipsters, man.

Only if it comes back as a wide-target range Korean pony car/muscle car. With Genesis coming out with a 4 Series fighter, Hyundai has the perfect nameplate to compete with both the Detroit muscle at the higher trim levels and Nissan Z/Toyota 86 at the lower trim levels. Leave the FWD sports-economy car to an improved…

Basically these non-performance, luxury crossovers are the equivalent of high heels.

You sure? It’s the same thing that makes them not sell the next generation Verano in the states.

I just wish Chrysler Group’s future owners will be Chrysler. I’d take a bailout over seeing them mismanaged or drawn and quartered by Fiat.

The other is a luxury cruiser that simply happens to go about very quickly if you ask it to.
