  1. Porsche does not sell that many CARS worldwide, so a disproportionate percentage to diesel cars is not that surprising.
  2. Good, but they need to bring something different to the luxury flagship game. Ditto the Genesis G90.
  3. Well, this is the USA. Oldsmobile invented the automatic in 1940. Ever since WWII, manual transmissions have been on a death spiral just about everywhere. Besides, who takes a Camaro racing?
  4. It's all about that NOx issue. Maybe it is time to go EV instead. Either way, this will cost a LOT of $$$$ for the Germans especially.
  5. BTW: who would buy an Alfa Romeo at $80K and higher? I would pick up a fully loaded XT5 and pocket the difference or at least get a CT6 and end up with a better luxury car.
  6. Environmentalists should be suing governments for pushing diesel over all alternatives. VW is NOT innocent, but the EU also needs to be held accountable.
  7. The Bolt is a good small car. My question is this: where are the EV Equinox and EV Trax? Better still, where are the EV Cadillac XT5 and XT4? GM needs to build those too, because Tesla either cannot or will not build them.
  8. FIAT itself is the money pit; Alfa Romeo is just a poor decision. Then again, Sergio has clearly demonstrated that he basically hates Chrysler and Dodge, so if he siphons $$$$ for Alfa Romeo and FIAT great for him. Bad for all others. Will Chryco survive until 2021? Place your over/under bets.
  9. Small problem: execution and product availability are everything in this business. Elon Musk and his crew have clearly underachieved on this one. Seems like no one can actually get their hands on a Tesla model 3. Pitiful.
  10. So where did the other six million in sales go? Hyundai/Kia? Toyota or Honda? As for the sales figures in this post, Cadillac needs a Enclave-sized CUV to go along with the Escalade STAT.
  11. Is there a place for a station wagon in the era of the crossover? Given sales figures, I doubt it but Volvo persists.
  12. Given Mary Barra's record in the last two years, South Korea should hope that she does not shutter GM Korea entirely. It is cheaper to build GM Korean cars in China and ship them over rather than build them locally.
  13. No worries: the Escalade still dominates the segment. The X7 is climbing uphill against the leader in luxury large SUVs.
  14. ^^^^^^ Sad but true. The market for big RWD cars has essentially disappeared.
  15. What's wrong with Cadillac and GMC? FCA on the other hand is so beat up, especially when Jeep is the only brand keeping FCA (from a sales standpoint) afloat.
  16. I am not surprised about Nissan getting fleet sales. Toyota? That is weird. Ten years ago GM had that "move the metal" mentality prior to BK and it nearly killed the company (among other causes). Now Toyota is doing what GM did back in the 2000s?! WTF?
  17. Sounds like you want to return the Z to its 1970s/80s roots as a Corvette alternative for half price.
  18. Key West? The nearest Cadillac dealer is in Miami close to Homestead, quite a distance from Key West. I doubt any dealer has been in the Keys in a long time.
  19. I am not aware of too many Cadillac dealerships that are aligned with something else. My local Cadillac dealer has been mostly standalone since they opened shop in 1973. There might be a few, but I suspect not too many Cadillacs are sold in those (small) dealerships. As for Lincoln, those were paired with Mercury until Ford shut down Mercury in 2009. Lincoln itself (and Genesis) need to have their own space as separate dealerships.
  20. OK fine. When will these luxury EVs be available for anyone to test or buy? At least with the Teslas and Chevy Volt/Bolt, one can buy any of them right now.
  21. Ugly as those are, somebody will still buy one of those. The Aztek was hardly attractive, but those sold quite well in its time.
  22. Why would anyone BUY an Opel? Maybe most people would buy a Chevy instead. . . .
  23. So MB and BMW are the only real choices then? Not everyone is a Euro badge snob.
