The stickers and puddle light are SO fucking tacky 

Yes, corvettes are not rare but if you let this Corvette nerd get nerdy with it for a sec, this combo actually is pretty unique. It’s more than just the color that Rob calls out. The Blue paint WITH the gray interior AND the white top is actually a super odd combo you never really see. Does that make it worth more?…

It’s about diversifying SA GDP over decades-generations.
No, these purchases themselves won’t make tons of money, if any, but the tourism/audience/technology/sponsors/partners they bring in their respective industries will bring more to other sectors across the country.

Wonder if that price is a reference to the story following 501st division?

The width extends all the way into the middle of doors as well. So it’s not just the rear fenders/fascia, just about everything behind the gill panel is unique to the ZR-1. 

This. The El Mirage is a close second

This car is so underrated, but I don’t tell anyone about it so they keep depreciating, haha. CT5-V (non-Blackwing) is a good choice too, but more than $50k

The Speedster was my bedroom wall poster car.

Those are the nerdiest things you could have listed. Subjective I know, but IMO the things that make a car cool are different than the things that make a cell phone cool. If the infotainment and energy efficiency are the coolest things about a car, I’ll pass.

Do you live your life a quarter mile at time? This list is about coolness. The one trick pony Telsa loses hard.

I remember the episode when this car was given away as a grand prize on Wheel of Fortune. People didn’t believe me at the time in the early internet days, haha

Agreed. It’s cool and all, but when I first saw the pic yesterday (before reading the headline) my first thought was, “HOLY SHIT CADILLAC MADE A SUPER CAR!” Then I realized, “Oh it’s just another unobtainium Porsche, that’s cool too... I guess.”

Look awesome, but those Cadillac headlights don’t belong. 

Agreed. It’s just SOOO cheap looking, and in a very expensive car.

Hmm I dont know a lot about the Distronic system, but pretty sure that’s not hands free driving like Super Cruise. It seems like advanced radar cruise control, but clearly says hands need to stay on the wheel. I get it’s close, but that’s a big difference if you ask me.

I second your take here. I have test driven a few of these now and found them a perfect sweet spot in price/driving experience/luxury. (especially on the used market, but don’t tell anyone so there still plenty of inventory when I start shopping again, haha)

Don’t forget $8,000+ (!) of the Caddy’s price is just for SuperCruise. (not offered on the C43) Also the $63k Merc does not have massaging seats which are included in that CT4V price.

All OEMs improve their products using design, technological and material advancements among other things. The Hemi got more powerful. The miata got lighter. The prius got more efficient. There’s nothing new or unique about them or Tesla. But props to tesla for making a better valve and jar, I guess?

The Muskrats are feisty today. 

I think it’s mostly because they been selling the same cars for a decade, so yeah it just gets cheaper and cheaper for them. It’s working since their fans just keep buying these old platforms.
