I think the Aviator is a significantly more attractive package (technically and from a design perspective) than the XT6.

Well in all honesty, no one cares about Buick other than China.  

I usually forget they exist. 

I would venture to guess that the Lincolns week be more profitable as I am pretty sues they are more expensive. Some times that is better than being the sales leader.

I’d argue it’s the Escalade that has the brand cachet, not Cadillac. If they were smart they’d call this the Escalade Sport or something.

Ford doesn't have the production capacity to come close to Escalade sales. One upside of Ford getting out of the sedan business is that they will be adding production capacity for full size SUVs (navigator and expedition) and Super duty, all vehicle lines that are currently having trouble meeting demand. 

Maybe. But Lincoln will get the customers that Cadillac needs/wants: people with taste and money and younger. Tacky people flock to the Escalade mostly because of the status it gained during the 00's. 

that top photo has me triggered, i absolutely hate feet on the dash. dangerous and gross! GAAHHH!

I like the transmission. With a different clutch assist spring it’s not too bad honestly. I got mine (Premium PP) for $25k, but I had a hookup.

Trick question. Trans-Am with T-tops is the best Camaro.

Forget enthusiasts. Our next-door neighbors have three college-age-to-20-something kids still living at home, each of whom has a car. That’s five cars, all for a good reason–nothing excessive about it at all. What are families like this supposed to do?

As soon as I read your comment, I knew it was written by a retard.

I’M BIG BOB!

Bleck. that fat, bullet headed big mouth annoys the shit out of me.

Single worst to me in the Metro Detroit area is Summit Place Kia radio ads. I change the radio station upon hearing it, my brain also refuses to remember any part of that annoyance.

It was originally designed just for the Red Wings. Once the pistons signed on there were a number of changes and additional expenses that were incurred to adapt the stadium for both hockey and basketball.

Am I the only one who thinks the 2018 Enclave actually looks pretty swanky?...

Excellent piece. Thanks for continuing to shine a light on the issues in Flint, it long ago got lost in the all consuming 24 hour media cycle.

Flint is so unique in the ties it has to the auto industry and most people outside of Michigan don’t quite understand how intertwined GM and Flint were/are.

God damn those first gen new Chargers are so ugly and shitty looking. Every single time I see one I still think that same thing. Imagine getting killed by one. Terrible way to die.
