Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Seems pretty entry lux at best in finish and features. I guess the 6 is referring to the size and they are not making their larger CUV more luxurious or feature laden than their smaller models.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Toyota Supra: Comments
frogger replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I don't think those are going to be as cheap as the Supra, the plain 340i is 48k+

Detroit 2019: 2020 Volkswagen Passat: Comments
frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Looks better, more up to date but they're really skimping on the motor here given the other 2.0T options in their stable.

frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)"So little"? I think it has more but at higher RPM, typical of DOHC.

Detroit 2019: 2020 Cadillac XT6: Comments
frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Sad that we can only say it is bette than the MDX and RX-L, I think those are two old designs, the MDX must be due for a full refresh within a year or two. The Kia Telluride might be more interesting than this if they fit it with the Stinger GT motor.

frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Like an Ikea imitation of a 3 row luxury SUV, likely to be priced much higher than it merits.

Detroit 2019: Lexus LC Convertible Concept: Comments
frogger replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)LC is so attractive I can deal with the spindle. E class sedan or coupe on the road I don't even look twice.

Stinger GT for the RWD biased goodness

And based on reviews the handling of the Fusion Sport is not a strength.

Even the bread and butter RAV4 and CRV have decent AWD systems as of their latest generation that should be good enough for any runs to the cottage or to the ski hill, but people who want the best at a mass market price will seek out Subaru.

Fourth-Quarter 2018: General Motors
Mainstream buyers don't care that their Malibu handled a little better than a "granny" Equinox. They didn't care that their Grand Am was just a family sedan with reddish trim and fake intake vents. If handling was even slightly important to them in the first place they wouldn't have bought a Malibu or Grand Am. I'm pretty sure a new Equinox would outhandle a $h!ty 1994 Grand Am even if it was new though lol given 1994 Grand Am's had the chassis rigidity of Primo pasta. For those that actually care, there are still options and they are far better than what used to be available. A Miata does 0-60 under six seconds, pony cars are pretty much sports cars now, family car Accord 2.0T Sports with a stick shift go for just over 30 grand, Civic Type R is probably the fastest ever FWD track car, even Hyundai/Genesis is in the RWD compact sedan market now.

Like a two row CX9 but much pricier.

As if the sedans and minivans people used to buy handled like sports cars with their understeering front heavy FWD 60/40 weight distribution and no season tires.

High MSRP's on the Blazer with low standard equipment on the Blazer. By the time you option it with niceties like a pano roof, adaptive cruise it is 50k plus, why not get a premium brand at that price with more tech. It is not like the Blazer gets you a tonne of space compared to cars like the Q5, XC60 etc.

Their cars sell boatloads in China, I don't think they will redesign them to appease USA tastes when their global sales over a million dwarf their USA sales.

The Ecosport is so attractive, not surprised this looks just as good. Almost as hot as the Trax.

I'd take a 300s or Charger over the SHO every time. Both dated platforms but the FCA one is so much better.

Judging by that pic alone, it looks like a rental car with aftermarket rims to me.

Only 150k and not a CUV or luxury car? Better discontinue it.
