“I hated the last gen CTR, it was too gaudy and over the top”

This is a focus group. The NDA is pretty common because questions like, “Has this car, at any point, set your spouse on fire? Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE?” are, like, market relevant information.

True, if they had released the Estate and Sedan together that would have been very nice.  Not the weird mashup of both.

the Estate is the only one of these I’d touch with a ten foot pole.

Counterpoint: daring design = good

Tom is 100,000% correct - Done in one.

...Great now I want one

Any luxury car from the 70-90's with the plush pillow top seats, basically a living room couch shoved into a Lincoln or Cadillac.

So it’s a “Lightning bug”?

This is so incredibly stupid... and I’m not a fan of these vehicles at all. At the least if you’re going to confiscate these things, make it so you can resell them out of state and use the money towards something useful, like NYC education or building green spaces in NYC. Destroying perfectly good materials is just a…

Who cares about the car, look at those wheels.

So sorry to hear about Jan. Good luck, I hope you find her soon.

Looks are deceiving, modern trucks and SUVs are actually surprisingly aerodynamic. They’re just also very large vehicles.

Jason Cammisa, who has driven EVERYTHING, said on his Carmudgeon YouTube/podcast that GM is tied for the best suspensions in the world with Ferrari, that they can do things with big cars that defy physics, and he’s just mad that they won’t tell him what they’re doing.

I will not stand for CTS-V slander. That thing handles like a dream for such a big car. GM’s chassis engineers have been knocking it out of the park for almost 20 years, since the Holden Monaro came out. 

The Model X is not very roomy inside except for the first and second rows. The Rivian looks to be much more flexible and roomy behind the second row. Also, some people prefer boxier styling.

The R1S is 200.8" long while the R1T is 217.1" long, so the R1S is a decent amount shorter in overall length than the R1T.

You gotta make vehicles that fit buyer’s wants and needs. Sure, a Nissan Leaf is probably enough vehicle for 90% of the population 90% of the time. But you’re never gonna convince a brodozer or SUV buyer that they can get by just fine with a Leaf.

The truck has one (optional)

Hush child, this isn’t the review for you.
