While I’m glad to hear the CT6-V will make it to production, albeit for a far too short run, it’s a poor consolation in light of the overarching story that the model will ultimately be killed off in the very near future. This car was such a monumental leap forward for Cadillac, from the new lightweight platform to the…
Fair point, although I think a lot of investor interest in Tesla and its valuation is based on the potential that, as their technology evolves, they may one day become more than just a car company. Otherwise, I doubt they’d be able to raise enough capital to sustain the business and do the things they’re doing.
I don’t give two fucks about Ford’s attempts at electric/autonomous vehicles, because I’m never going to buy one. Ford is not Tesla. And regardless of the amount of bloviating coming from the C-suite, Ford stock is never going to be valued like a tech company, because Ford is not a tech company.
If true, that would be a damn shame. If they would actually move the Continental to the RWD-based platform it deserved all along, I’d probably buy one.
So they’re ripping off the name of a performance trim Mustang to bestow it upon an (inevitably FWD-based) “performance” SUV jacked-up wagon “inspired” by the aforementioned Mustang but built on the platform of a FWD economy car (which won’t even be sold in the US except in crossover jacked-up wagon form) only electric…
...namely a plan to reduce the number of combinations customers can have for a vehicle. For example, the Fusion currently has 35,000 combinations, Ford said. Under Hackett’s vision, that’ll drop to just 96.
As we’ve gone over before, the electric powertrain is essential to the bus being feasible, because otherwise VW couldn’t package it properly and still meet global safety regulations.
Makes sense, especially if they intend to bring out a smaller, RWD-based (!!) A3-fighter and the CT5 to fill the space. The back seat of the ATS is awful tight for the segment, especially considering how competitors like the 3 series and A4 have grown (for better or for worse). And the CTS, while a great car, suffered…
OMG, WTF.
