If the Democrats don’t manage to fuck it up like they did this election.

So... Haldex?

It’s the Explorer’s fault. Ever since Ford moved it to the same FWD-based platform as the Flex, the latter was on borrowed time.

I’m glad there’s people on Jalopnik that appreciate this. If Dodge sticks to the Challenger’s formula by making it lighter while keeping the size they’ll have a hit on their hands. Right now it’s the last pure muscle car.

Mary Barra must be a little lady in order to fit in that Camaro without pushing the driver seat back into the rear seat

I do too, but I attribute it to the unearned sense of security that AWD badge gives these FWD-based CUV buyers. Problem is that all AWD systems aren’t created equal, some are placebos that aren’t much more effective than their cheaper, FWD counterparts.

Porsche Macan (and Cayenne): When you’re a cool, sophisticated mom, unlike that basic bitch Linda down the street who drives a Lexus RX and wears yoga pants at age 48. Ugh. Unlike Linda, you’re a real blonde.

Poser Audis are FWD. And even then, Audi’s engines are mounted north-south like RWD cars, so the weight distribution and proportions are better, not to mention a world-class AWD system up there with Subaru.

If the Grand Cherokee’s 4x4 platform was entirely flexible and could underpin any Jeep that isn’t a wrangler, instead of this Fiat 500X platform, Jeep would be printing absurd amounts of money.

I’m so glad somebody finally said this. The soft, wallowy luxobarges some of today’s auto enthusiasts are getting misty-eyed over are actually the shitty Cadillacs of the 70s-90s. Those cars are the very same ones that took them from “Standard of the World” to “Grandpa’s Car”.

This is why the whole media narrative about police brutality, or “BLM (they really mean black people) vs. police”; playing dumb and intentionally missing the point respectively is dangerous.

Everybody drives SUVs, but most soccer moms would complain about the truck-like ride and fuel economy. I’m confident this is why CUVs (FWD-based mass market CUVs in particular) are popular.

It’s all so unfortunate. Cadillac is building the best cars they’ve ever had, but their marketing is so nauseatingly ineffective.

You see that bumper just below the Lexus emblem? If they made it body color and had it stand out a bit more under the mesh grille on the sport models, and brought it back out like the pre-facelift ES and GS on luxury models, Lexus would have a much more forgivable design language.

Or get a Lexus RX, the Starbucks of cars

Everyone on this thread is leaving out an obvious one: a big coupe to compete against the S Class Coupe and LC500. The idea of a full size, grand touring coupe as a Cadillac halo car is older than the idea of a four-door convertible, and much older than a SUV or mid-engine sports car.

Right Grand Tourer my ass.

The crazy part about the new Camaro facing off against the M4 is that GM already has a M4 fighter: The ATS-V Coupe. The Camaro 6 steps all over Cadillac’s territory.

IMHO it still falls short of the Elmiraj and Ciel. In this article you mentioned other luxury brands like Audi and Tesla, and that to me is a step backward. When you see or think of those two concepts I mentioned, no other brand comes to mind, the attention is all on Cadillac.

I think it’s the un-apologetically vertical lighting elements. The Escala looks like a Cadillac Audi Prologue remix.
