The CTS V and the performance models were definitely needed, but don’t forget Cadillac built the Eldorado with a 500 CI engine, it was no slouch either at the time.

Here, hold my beer!

Interesting. One thing I like about the German cars that I’ve owned and driven is that I feel like I can hop from one to the other and they all still have a certain feel to them that’s kind of similar. Maybe the “infotainment” stuff is different, but what drew me to stick with German cars is that I immediately feel…

Why?

No; if Cadillac decides to go with “fat, drunk, and stupid” as its motto, it definitely won’t help it sell more cars.

$600 to borrow a car for 36 months is $21,000. How about you just pick up a very nice used car for that price?

Agreed. I was a VW/Audi driver, and was used to that ecosystem - learning the quirks of BMW/Mini was a pain for those first few weeks.

Every brand does things a little differently. Once you get past the learning curve of a BMW, you really don’t want to go through it again. I know roughly how things work in here, so I may as well stick with the same brand. Kind of how people stick with Apple, android, or Windows.

This is where we insert the Doug video of how many people were impressed with his Aston Martin. Typically the only people impressed with a car are the people buying it.

Am I reading these wrong, or are people only driving 10,000 miles total over three years? I only know one person who drives that little (my wife, actually).

Wow, every time I think about getting a new car, I look at the per month costs, and I’m just like:

“You can do anything to those cars that you can do to a GTI, Jetta, Audi, TT, etc. You can awd it, turbo it, etc.”

“I’m not your buddy, guy!”

WTF? Flee to Canada? We’re not your friend, buddy.

The thing about modern muscle cars like the Hellcat is that even though they have 700+ horsepower, they’re pussycats to drive.

We could probably squeeze a little more out of it.

I have a suggestion for the manufacturers: if the car can’t drive itself, stop implying that it can. The words “autopilot” and “self-driving car” are borderline false advertising, and they’re the reason people keep doing this. Stop making people think their cars are KITT. We’re getting there, but we’re not there yet.

Man...has this joke been beaten to a pulp.

Orange you glad I don’t drive a Tesla?
