    Doesn't matter because Cadillac is becoming GM's electric wing now

    honestly you could've told me that Cadillac went out of business 10 years ago and I'd probably have believed it

    If you get Tesla technology and Cadillac luxury now that’s a real game changer.

    The 1st gen Ridgeline was designed by a group of engineers that left GM for Honda just after completing the Avalanche project. No kidding.

    I strip Cadillacs and Buicks for a living, and I can tell exactly where GM started going to shit. Around the early 90’s was the end of the land yacht revolution.

    The Buick LeSabre is truly a horrendous horrendous POS car. Good god.

    I hate it even more because it looks EXACTLY like a Park Avenue and doesn’t have my goddamn horns in it.

    Lol, hype up what? How excellently engineered and built it was? It's true af man. Now the designed performance of it may leave you hoping for more, but that engine is as reliable and durable an engine you can get in any Toyota that sees anything besides paved roads. There is no hype to it's durability, which is the song I sing about this engine. And it sounds great too. But that's opinion. Well kinda, it was proven factually as well that it sounds great too. Toyota didn't release that study though;)

    Mercedes has a production truck, it’s called the X Class. Not sold in North America.

    It's also a function of what he's experienced, as a kid experience is hard to come by, lots of things look good or bad in the short term. I bet the ones that he test drove weren't so great, they probably had potential, but 20+ year old vehicles in a HS student's budgets won't impress anyone I'd wager.

    Considering GM filed for bankruptcy protection 10 years ago, it’s not hard to believe either.

    I just mean I don't think I know anyone that's bought a Cadillac in recent (or long term) memory or even recall seeing new ones around, not that I look for them
