How does this article not mention the Holden Commodore that became the criminally underrated Chevy SS here in the states?

What is frustrating to me as a Cadillac fan is that they actually pulled off the most difficult act - designing and delivering on a world class chassis and driving experience in the V-Sport and V-series - CTS, specifically.

Recently saw OUATIH with my wife and had the same sentiment.  

Co-sign. I read somewhere on the Interwebs where people are going to look at the 2014,15, and 16 model years of automobile manufacturing as the halycon days of automotive technology.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Hell, even if they do make it through the production gauntlet, they kill it immediately. Case in point - the 2020 Cadillac CT6-V. By all accounts, blissfil union of chassis, packaging and bespoke engine and it is already dead on arrival.

I always found it interesting that in most years, Mercedes was not the leading team in prize money, despite winning the constructor’s championship.

I understood that reference.

This list is interesting - 5 years ago, this very same site has the LS as the #1 engine of the last 20 years - 5 years later and it doesn’t even get a mention.

This is the key - in the rare case a Japanese failure happens - it is serviceable and rarely terminal. I have my 2014 Ford Explorer with 170K on the odo.

I might be the only person in the U.S. under 40 that has an unabashed love for the XTS.  Had one as a long-term rental for a month and loved driving that car - so effortless and serene.  May need to pick a 2019 up with low miles in the near future.

This is a great list.

The hallowed 12-Valve Cummins from Twister and Heat.  In the mid-90s, when you wanted to portray toughness and invincibility on the silver screen, this was your truck.

Eh, my wife and I are kind of in that boat. We have a 2014 Explorer as our only vehicle, but it has 160K on the clock. Yeah, it’s paid off and we are technically driving it for free, but the price tag to repair the things that could go south (engine, trans, PTU - again) is really high for a vehicle with that many…

My wife grew up on a dairy farm in rural Western NY and regularly drank non-homogenized milk straight from the farm’s milk house. Still shakes the gallon of homogenized milk we buy today when taking it from the fridge out of habit.
