This. The way Cadillac wants to introduce a “lower end” V by doing this is destroying the brand.

Firstly it is Electrek, an EV fanboy site more than a true car news outlet - take anything from it worth a grain of salt.

The 2.5L Skyactiv Turbo + AWD dialed up to ~300hp would make for a killer combo.

About 5 years ago I would have also complained about a BMW that is FWD. However now maybe because of age or changing market conditions, I frankly couldn’t care less.

I actually dig the look. I question the rear headroom given how much rake the coupe-like lines (becoming incredibly common) are compromised but Cadillac probably figured families would go for the XT4 or XT5 instead so they went the sporty route with the CT5.

It pretty much a Model 3 with a lift-kit and a higher trunk-line. Also it sits WAY too low to be remotely called an SUV - more like a tall hatchback.

Nice to see articles pointing out the toxic company that is Tesla nowadays - few months ago this would be a “hater” or “short” article which would be met with ridicule, but it seems Musk’s erratic behavior is causing many to finally snap out of “kool aid drinking”.

One was a test drive, the other two were rentals.

Such a shame - from the crapboxes that is GM compacts from the 80s~2000s, the Cruze was a great little car. I drove a 2011 LT 1.4T, later a 2015 2.0TD as well as a 2018 LTZ 1.4T and found them to be very nice to drive.

Make fun of the Alphard all you want - in Hong Kong highly influential (read very filthy rich) people don’t get chaffeured in stretched Lincoln Town cars or Mercedes S-classes; they are driven around in Toyota Alphard.

Please make it fun to drive. It would be a great grown up WRX for an older gentleman.

There are smug Porsche owners, but 911 guys tend to be pretty chill folks. Tesla owners (and just fanboys) with their green-washing & Musk worshiping is nauseating.

What I was implying. For most EV the running costs are pretty low because of its mechanical simplicity. However the opposite it true for Tesla - their cars have a uncanny ability to break or suffer issues that rarely happen to other cars (including gas vehicles).

Careful - I’m already being called a “Tesla hater” here for pointing out the obvious.

Ford is in a rough spot and frankly I’m not sure what Hackett has in mind for the direction for the company in the future. Would they be a mainly truck & SUV only brand? Are they going to full commit to EV? Are they planning on doing an alliance with VW? As of the moment Ford is still decently healthy thanks to truck…

My thoughts exactly, hence why I called this more a PR stunt than an attempt at dislodging Ford’s interceptor vehicles.

Taxis are abused pretty hard, but police cars are worked even harder given taxis aren’t legally allowed to speed, pull abrupt maneuvers or respond to emergency calls which can rough up normal cars pretty badly.

Because being critical of a company that repeatedly fails on its promises is FUD right?

The S has held up better, but the Model 3 problems are worrisome. However the recent job cuts have lots of negative feedback of long repair times & parts backlog along with a slew of customer service issues from the company. Private buyers may not care about waiting a month for a faulty chargeport cover, but for…

It is a good PR stunt to ‘support local business’. I wonder how much more Teslas the department would run once they figure out how much it costs to keep a Tesla running over long term & the frankly ridiculous length of downtime in the service centers when these heavily abused vehicles are really put into the hands of…
