caseyctsv Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I get it, people will buy them. I just think the money would be better spent making their existing product even better - you know, like fixing CUE?

I just think the money would be better spent making their existing product even better - you know, like fixing CUE? I say V all the things. All it does it put more high HP engines in the used and salvage market. There really is no downside. I hope lots of people buy these because it increases the chances that in 15 years I'll find one in a junkyard when i am looking for an engine for whatever 60's-80's bad ideamobile I will be working on then. Maybe a V powered fleetwood.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I cannot fucking wait to see the Escalade V vs Jeep TrackHawk (Hellcat GC) vs X5M vs GLE AMG vs SQ7 vs Cayenne Turbo S vs whoever else throws their hat in the ring.

Mowgli1647545497 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 SUV or whatever makes no difference to me. Not replacing current V with another Caddy until they chuck CUE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Not replacing current V with another Caddy until they chuck CUE. I thought they replaced it with Apple Car Play in 2016 like most other GM models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I love all the haters, "99% of buyers won't tap into that hp 100% of the time." Same is true for most everything on the road. Sure is fun that 1% of the time though huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I thought they replaced it with Apple Car Play in 2016 like most other GM models? CUE still controls much of the day to day basics in the car like fan, temp, etc etc. And those controls are still those haptic fury-inducing pezio-electric plastic surfaces that make me want to punch a cat. I know - I just had a loaner while my brakes got worked on. It still sucked ass. ..... The GOOD news is: I heard Caddy literally is going back to the drawing board, scrapping CUE, and re-introducing good old knobs and buttons. As god intended. Hopefully we'll be hearing of this change soon. Then out comes my wallet. But if they take longer than it takes the 2016 GT350 to arrive at a non ADM dealer then caddy lost my money this go round.

kirks5oh Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 When is the Hellcat out? or is it..? two years or so. i'll be looking for one for sure. this caddy is still going to be rather slow relatively speaking, to be relevant against sports cars. it will be faster than most other SUV's and regular cars. won't be faster than the millions of V8 mustangs/camaros/mopars on the road. the jeep should be able to hurt some serious feelings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 When is the Hellcat out? or is it..? Not soon enough. May replace our Urban Assault vehicle (minivan) with an SQ5 and slap an APR Tune on it to make it more fun. No SRT but it will scoot. Wife drove one this weekend and smiled.
