Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I don't get coal-bin interiors generally, but particularly for Volvos, when the blonde interiors are gorgeous. We went looking for an S60 Recharge last weekend, and were told they wouldn't get any more with blonde interiors _this year_. Black leather is way, way too hot in the summer and doesn't even look that nice.

Almost the same story with Audis: 8 A5 Sportbacks, 6 black interiors.

  Just a hunch but years back everything about Volvo was focused toward the local expected climate so this mentality may not have changed. In Sweden/Northern Europe black leather may be more popular and leather being too hot in the summer isn't an real issue there.

39k for a 3 year old T5 with disclosed "cosmetic damage"? As a new'23 V60 B5 AWD Hybrid starts at 50k, 11k in depreciation is nowhere near reasonable. That's a hard pass for me.

28-Cars-Later This question has been posed many times and we discussed it in depth around the time of the ATS and JdN. Then GM had 933 dealers left over from its glory days and ATS was intended to be volume lease fodder for all of those dealer customers. But of course the problem there is channel stuffed junk worked against the image they ostensibly were trying to create when they threatened products like Escala (and the image they thought they were creating with ELR). Cadillac had two choices in my view at the time, either drop 2/3rds of the dealers and focus on truly bespoke low volume product or abandon the pretense of exclusive/bespoke and build high volume models as they had essentially been doing since the last 1960s. Ten years on the choice they made was obvious, hence XT everything... XT an acronym for Xerox This when pointing at Chevrolets and Buicks.There's no "saving" a marque which doesn't wish to be saved. In the next major financial crisis Buick may be folded or consolidated into Chevrolet but Cadiwrack will just become a wrapper over whatever Chinesium infused junk the new openly owner/controlled SAIC GM wants it to be. Cadillac been gone for a long, long time.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh you cant. the younger buyers do not want Cadillac's .. Older buyers want toyotas, lexus and of all things subarus ... all in SUV form
Billccm Accepting that they can't compete with Hyundai and Kia opens that door for increasing market share for the Korean cars. I need to find a few more grand marquis and figure out the best way to store them as I'm not surrendering to a cute yute of F150 for my daily.
Slavuta That car that they sell for $80K... Sell it for $50K
NJRide I miss GM offering sedans.I don't miss a plasticky, uninspiring one not changed much from Obama's second term. As I have said before, the A-Bodies may have been an epoch but they had a certain charm to them. These have screamed rental class from Day 1 and have a third-world level engine.Sedans died because they got too cramped and too derivative. Especially the Big 3's offerings. The fact that there was no real move back to them when gas was $5 in 2022 shows this to be true. Then again the Trailblazer/Trax are hatches not SUVs. Non-identifying wagons and hatches along with on-road crossovers will be the "cars" of the upcoming era.
