I have a 170 lb. Leonberger, a 2015 Audi Allroad, and no regrets.

Or you could live in Canada like me and already pay Mexican Wall prices!

I just bought a DTS. Good to know it can take some abuse.

But thank goodness that’s the only thing he has no clue about!

Seriously!! Where am I going to find an Alfa Romeo Alfetta in Canada??

Two years ago I drove the Stelvio Pass and the German autobahns in a rented Fiat 500L diesel. I chose poorly.

I’ve already made this leap. I pick up my low-mile 2008 Cadillac DTS Platinum next week. It’s for running the short distance to work and back. Already dropped $500 for a safety inspection and new fog light (front bumper has to be removed to replace it) so it has proper cheap-expensive car cred!

It’s what Burt Reynolds drives on moving day! Glorious!

Mercury Topaz. My first car. Pretty sure I played a lot of “Sabotage” in it too.

A little music you’ll find relevant. You can sing it to Apollo 911 while waiting for the inevitable tow trucks. But do I think you made a bad decision? Hells no! You’ve got a 911 and I don’t!

Depends what the walk is on the diesel. If Chevy keeps the price reasonable it could be enough to convince people. And I’m guessing with putting a diesel on a car that sells as well as Equinox they’ve figured it out.

The primary argument for optioning a diesel in a crossover or SUV is fuel efficiency. With gas prices as low as they are and the incremental cost of optioning the diesel over a gas variant, it wouldn’t make it worthwhile if you ran the numbers, unless you’re planning on keeping the truck for years to enjoy incremental…

That car is a shameful time in America’s history.
